ARGUMENTS ON HoWELL'S
 LIABILITY ON NOTES. Hearing Held Before Federal Court in
 Hartford.

In the federal court room in tho postoffice building Monday afternoon at Hartford Judge Edwin $. Thomas heard arguments on the motion of George D. Howell of Hartford to stay the mandate of the United States cation in bankruptcy pending MT AowelPs application. for a. rehearins on the matter of his endorsements on three McCrunl-Howell notes for S5,000 each to the Mechanics and Metals Ma tic nal bank, the Corn Exchange Na- Franklin National bank of Philadel- Ei1ia- The court of appeals reversed Judge Julius M. Mayer and keld that MT. Howell is liable for the S15,000. Judge William F. Henney appeared for Mr. Howell and Judge Walter e. Moves
 MT. Howell endorsed paper of the MeCrum Howell company amounting in all to about $2,0o0,o0 Later the company became involved and was re- organized under the name of the Rich n1oEd Radiator company and the cred itors took stock jn the new company to settle their claims. A part of the creditors filed a petition that MT. Howell individually be adjudicated a tankrupt. The petition was dismissed bv the United States district court on the ground that the creditors had no claim on MT. Howell individually, as they had taken stock in the new com pf ny to satisfy their claims. The creditors appealed in the United States circuit court of appeals and the ap- pellate court held that the decision of the United States court was erroneous, thus sending the case back to the United States district court for hear irg. For the benelt of his creditors Mir. Howell had assigned certain prop erty aild the question before Judge Thomas was on the legal phase as to whether acts done by Mir. Howell were acts which constituted bankruptcy and which should result in his being adiu- dicated bankrupt

SOME TOURIST USED
 MRS. GoETHALs' NAME When Arrested at viIIefrsnche--Was
 Not Abroad

Washington. Sept. 15.--3IrE George ". Goethals. wife of the governor of the canal zone, was not abroad at the outbreak of the European war and the report that she was arrested at ViIle- franche was erroneous. The report that Mrs. Goethals was arrested was received in government circles in Washington at the height of the flood of stories relating to experiences ot Americans in the countries at war and the accuracy of the dispatch was not questioned. It is now presumed that some woman falling under the suspicion of French military authori- ties used Mrs. Goethals' name.

AT DAVIS THEATRE.

Full of light and color, with tuneful music and an array of pretty girls in pretty costumes that presented one charming stage picture after another, the romantic musical comedy.

 dream waltz i'll which he and his graceful dancing partners. Afignon Nc Gibney. Josephine Kernell, and Ruth

LIQUOR DEALERS IN
 ANNUAL STATE CONVENTION. President Quinn Urges Members to
 Work for Best Conditions.

In his address before the annual state convention of Wine, Liquor and Beer Dealers association Of Connectf- cut, held in New Haven on Tuesday, President Frank P. Quinn Of New Haven said in the beginning of his report that members, to merit the good will of the public, should, through their organization in the future, as in the past stand for the cleanest and best conditions obtainable that tend to af- feet the business.
 '.An element requiring our most watchful attention he said, "is the one selling liquors without the proper authority to do so. in other words, the institutions commonly known as klteh- erl barrooms. Places of this character have frequently meen raided in vari- ous cities and towns of the state, and by the manner in which our enemies have at times attracted attention to them innocent and unadyised people have been led to believe that many of these places were regularly licensed saloons; their object being to create an upfavorable public impression against our type of business. Many of the ar rests for drunkenness were brought about because liquors were secured in these places. Yet bear in mind that some of our enemies and their argu- n1ents charge these arrests against H- censed places. Take such action as in your judgment will assist in doing away with this unlawful traffic, and at the same time keep ourselves right in the minds of those who have been Jed to believe that places of this character have met with our approval"
 President Quinn reviewed legislation in 1913 and directed attention to the Coming election and probable legisla- ton in 1915. He said members should make plain, regardless of political af- iliatons, their desire to see candl- dafes nom ed yTho are broad r11iud ed enough to be fair in their treatment of all lines of endeavor.
 Excise Laws.
 Mr. Quinn said in discussing ercise laws: Connecticut has excellent ex- else laws, and when properly enforced there is no state where better results can be obtained. Prohibitioners and their allies are naturally and continu- ously trying to hamper our business by the introduction of anti liquor bills in the legislature, and by the assistance of the large lobby force, which they from time to time employ, our position, to say the least, is often a very trying one, and on the fairness of the members Of the general assem- ply we must rely for that justice that should be accorded to this important interest. Do not lose sight of the fact that the elements arrayed against us are continually. urging the nomination of men who, if they had the power, would utterly destroy our business and make Connecticut a prohibition state, with all the hardships such an institu- ton would bring about
 The convention was attended by from 40 to 150 delegates from all parts of the state. The annual banquet was held Tuesday evening and a business session Wednesday will close the con Vention-
