and loved Georgia w. Jay, short,
blonde and pretty.
The meeting happened at Sioux
City. Iowa. five years ago, and from
that time until Christmas, 1911, the
romance progressed until whisper
ed Eyes" given during an automo-
bile ride in Chicago ended all uncer-
tainty, the young woman says.
Much of the romance was carried
on in the tabernacles of George Bic
derwolf. whose choirs Rodeheaver
formerly led, and where repentants
knelt on the floor of sawdust. In
terspersed throughout the years
were concert tours, little pleasure
jaunts and visits to Miss Jays moth
er, Mrs. Laura Jay, OF $500 Univer-
sity avenue.
The romance faded Christmas.

at Miss Jays home, told her that he
could not marry her. Hence the suit

ing 100000.

The suit is being heard by Judge
Lockwood Honore. of the Circuit

betrothal by saying that Miss Jay

 GOT HIS NEWSPAPER

 Citizens of Lyme Into Trouble

Mike Topaz of Lyme was arrested late Friday afternoon on the complaint or Frank Mack, also of Lyrre, charged with assault and breach of the peace. Iopaz was arrested by Deputy Sheriff J. Fl. Tubbs. The arrest was the re- suit Of an assault on Mack by Topaz m which 1t is alleged that Topaz struck nm Wath club on the head infiicting laeeration which necessitated three stitches to close,
 The trouble arose over the postman 'del1vering wrong newspapers to both men. The postmaI, who is new on the job there. left the Topaz news paper at A1ack's house and Mack's s newspaper at the Topaz house. Both men are Poles but the Newspapers are Tn different dialects so that Mack was unable to read Topaz's paper and To- paz was unable to read Macks.
 Mack took the paper which was de- llVered to him and went to Topaz's house to give it to it's rightfuI owner and to get his own paper. He alleges that a woman came to the door when he reached Topaz's house and she asked him to wait a minute as Topaz wanted to see him. He stepped inside the yestibule, he claims, and was hit on the head with a stick yielded by Topaz. He was taken unaware and received an injury which confined him to his home for several days.
 Topaz asked continuance and he wilcl be presented before Justicec of the Peace Marion R. Davis Monday afternoon

Two hundred people who packed the town hall at Montville on Satur- day afternoon at 2:3o in expectation of hearing the evidence produced against Grand Juror Fred Spencer whom Joe Galipeau had accused of firing a revolver at him were disap- pointed when the hearing before the justice resulted only in the filing of 8 demurrer, which was overruled by Justice of the Peace Henry H. Pettis of this city. Justice Pettis found probable, cause and bound the accused over for trial before the next session of the superior court. Bonds were placed at $500 which we're secured by Grand Juror Spencer. He was bound over on the charge of assault.
 Clayton B. Smith of New London was attorney for the grand juror, but in Mir. Smiths absence Justice Smid- dy entered the demurrer. Attorney Edward T. Burke appeared for the prosecution.
 Grand Juror Spencer was arrested Wednesday afternoon by Constable Meyer Blumenthal on a. complaint by Joseph Gaipeau, also of Montville, charging him with assault with intent to kill GaHpeau by firing a revolver at him. Galipeau, the complaining witness, is at present out on bonds of $500 waiting trial at the next criminal term of the superior court charged

with assault and breach of the peace upon Spencer.
 Spencers arrest is a sequel to a tight which took place about three weeks ago in Montville as the result of which Galipeau was arrested on complaint of Spencer, charging him with assault with intent to kill with a crowbar. Spencer alleged at that time that he went to Galipeaus barn to warn him against sellin giiqupr illeg- ally and that Galtpeau struck him on the arm with a heavy croWbar, in dieting severe wound.
 After eluding the authorities for about a. week, Galipeau was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Manuel J. Martin as he was about to board a Central Vermont train In this city. He was arraigned before Justice of the Peace William Srniddy in Montyille. The charge of assault with intent to kill was changed to assault and breach of the peace. Probable cause was found and Galipeau held.
 Now Galipeau brings a counter charge against Spencer of assault with intent to kiIl. alleging that Spencer came to his place drunk on the night in question and fired a revolver at him. The bullet missed him and en- tered a wash tub near a point where Galipeau was standing.

NEW FEDERAL TAX
 WILL BEAR ON MANY.
Will Provide Government Income from
 Numerous Lines of Business.

Nearly everybody who does business would do well to seek information con- corning the federal tax to be imposed under the act to increase the internal revenue. Most of the bankers in the city know about the tax of $1 they or their banks, must pay on each $i,000 of capital used or employed, but retail cigar dealers, may not know that they are liable under the law for a tax of $4.S0 per annum.
 Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Farrell at New London has received an invoice of literature bearing on the new tax. It is interesting to note that about every form of business is pro- vided for under the new tax law and us proprietor must pay from his prof it's into the coffers of the government.
 For instance, the owners of pool ta- bles which are used in trade are liable to the U. s. tax of $5 per year for each table. Billiard tables are to be sini- larly assessed. That the owners of such tables in Connecticut pay a tax to the municipality of $10 per year Is not taken into consideration. Owners Of bowling alleys are taxed at the rate of S5 per alley.
 Dealers in cosmetics and perfumes must pay tax. on their trade in these iuxurles as well as cigars. Pawn brokers are liable to a tax of $50 per year. Theatres are taxed according to seating capacities. Most of the local amusement places seat more than 800 and are liable to a tax of S1f0 .ner year. The tax is assessable from Nov.
 From Dec. all insurance policies except life, personal, accident or health or the strictly mutual policies. arc taxable one.half of one per cent to be paid on each g or fraction of s1 of the premium charged.

A CHRISTIAN HOME AND
 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Are Two of the Allies ThatIWin, Says
 Rev, pr. SIocum

| An attractive feature of the evening service at the Central Baptist church on Sunday were the cornet solos Beautiful Home in Paradise and The
 Holy City, rendered in creditable man. ner by Master Harry Allen, year old son of MT. and Mrs. John A. Allen, of Occun1. In spite of the stormy weather l there was good sized congregation and a. very helpful and interesting ser mon was delivered by Rev. Joel B.
 Slocum. D. D.. the pastor. in his series
 upon Allies That Win.
 In his sermon Dr. Slocum brought out in an emphatic manner the value or a Christian home and a Christian education. His text was taken from
 III Timothy. first chapter, fifth verse,
 The home," said Dr. Slocun, ifs the
 essential unit of society,". Continuing,
 he said: The home is the moral foun- cation of society, and the stability of
 the foundation will depend upon the
 character of the home Therefore
 there is one ideal for the home, that
 IS 1t should be Christian home. The
 ineal or this fundamental unit is that
 It should be Christian and thoroughly
 Christian. Jesus Christ has contrib
 utede more towards the Christian home
 In all these centuries than any other
 one individual. Jesus was a normal poy, normal in that he exercised and
 played. In his boyhood he presented a.
 normality that appeals not only to the
 poys, but to the grown-ups as welt. Alter reviewing the more important incidents in the life of Jesus in Nag areth, Dr.. .Slocum went on to- contrast e!ie QiHefence in the home without any 1deal, Without Christianity and without any attractions whatever, with the Chr1stlan home where Christian love and ideals abound
 Jesus recognized the importance of 1nrlstlanlty in the home and he also recognized the value of the lives of noyS and girls. Jesus transformed the world in this respect After discussing Jesus in the sphere of boys, pr. Slocllm went on to speak of him in the sphere oL woman. m many ways" said pr. SiocuIn, Jesus recognized woman on equality with man." There are many cases, he continued, where women ministered to him. A woman re- ce1ved his first clear cut declaration or his Messiahship, and a woman was the occasion of his first miracle Wonl- en were the last at the cross and a woman first believed in the/ resurrec- ton; There is no home that can be Justly called Christian unless it fully recognizes the worth of woman. Wherever Christianity Nhs been taken ineo foreign lands, among the first things It has accomplished has been the transformation of woman.
 Among other things, pr. Slocum E9 9L Ite transIormafIon brought apout by Jesus relation to work. Jesus showed what a Christian educa- ton, an education with Christ in if. ought to be by his attitude toward lapor There is no education that is 3 real education without Christ in ft
 In concluding, Dr. Slocum said: :. consider seriously these practical things, Christian home and d Chris tan education. Let us see to if that we recognize these Christian princi- p!es and make 1t easier for boys ani siFls to come to Jesus Christi
