MAYO SUED BY HIS
 NEW HAVEN WIFE
Action Filed In Supreme Court of New York for $25O,OOO Damages
 For Fraud.

New York, Oct. 27.-Virginius St. Julian Mayo, head of the Mayo Rad iator company of New Haven, Conn, who was brought into the limelight last February through the suicide of a Brooklyn girl employed as a stem ographer in his office, was again in volved in litigation yesterday when his New Haven wife. Mrs. Wilhelmina Mayo, filed suit in the supreme court here for s250,00o damages for fraud. The plaintiff who describes herself as Wilhelmina Meyer, otherwise known as Wilhelmina Mayo, bases her suit on allegations that her hus- band induced her to marry him some years ago through pretending, that he was single man, when, as a mat ter of fact, he had a wife living at the time.
 Mayo's marriage to Wilhelmina Meyer. the plaintiff in the suit brought here today, was the result of an elopement in 1902. Mayo, then in the electrical supply business in Brooklyn, caused Miss Meyer to break an engagement with another man, it is claimed and to wed him at a church of the Latter Day Saints in Brooklyn. She later inherited an estate from her grandmother, Mrs. Minna Meyer, of Newark.

Principal Judd and Miss Brock to
 Have Charge Of Glasses
TOWN AGAIN TRANSFER POINT
Glasses Will Have Two Sessions Each Week-Anticipate Much Activity at Freight Yards-Society as Nursery Rhyme Characters-Briefs.

Arrangements for the opening of the towns evening school have been completed by the school boards spe-
 cial committee and Secretary A. l.. Rogers announced today. that the classes will begin their studies Mon day night The school will be in ses- sion on Monday and Wednesday nights from 7:15 to 9:15.
 Interest taken in the school, par ticularly by non-English speaking residents indicates that there will be a large enrolment and that the at tendance will probably be far ahead of that shown in the records last year when the school was established. Principal Orrin L. Judd will have charge of the advanced class while
 the beginners will be instructed by Miss Nellie Brock.
 The school will be held in the old building instead of the brick school house and will start with two rooms,
 an extra grade being provided later if the attendance warrants such action. Although the town has made an ap- propriation to cover the expense of
 the school an effort will be made to
 have the pupils pay a part of the
 
 formance with the suggestion of Rev. H. T. Walsh made in his report as acting school visitor. Some of the young men, who are anxious to join | the classes, have expressed a willing l ness to contribute towards the ex- pense of the school and contributions | will be received from them, although l the payment of any money on the part l of the pupils will not be essential to
 admission to the sessions. It is planned to continue the school 1 through the winter if the interest
 does not lag.
 Society in Nursery Rhymes. Local society people will leave this | mundane sphere tonight and will take | a journey into the land of nursery l rhyme, assuming the characters made 1 famous in children's stories, and | serving in their odd costumes as at | tendants at the Mother Goose fair, which is to be held this evening, and | tomorrow afternoon and evening in 1 the Town hall, under the auspices of the Woman's club. All the arrange ments have been completed and the club is now ready to take the patrons ] of the fair through an enchanted | land. The Town hall has been trans | formed into a veritable fairy garden. The decorations are novel and entire | ly in keeping with the character of l the fair.
 ] There will be countless attractions l on the midway through which the Mother Goose characters will prom | enade in search of stray shekels and l it will be a hard heart that cannot be touched by their. pleas for dona- | tions to the cause.-the enlarging of | the library fund.-

 Pay B I-7 Cents Per Hour
 At this time, when there is nation wide agitation for shorter hours anu more pay for the workingmen' the New Haven railroad is to be comph- mented on the generosity it IS dis- playing towards the gatemen wnosc dutv if is to protect the West Main street crossing. The company mas is- .rod orders increasing their working tours from eight to twelve hours a day. or twenty-eight hours week. for which they are to be paid at tho rate of three and four-sevenths cents an hour for their overtime.
 The increase in the freight busi- ness. brought about by the relocating of the transfer station here and inc constant use of a switcher in the vicinity of the station, will make IL necessary to have the gates at the West Main street crossing in operation day and night. The crossing is pro- tected at tho present time for but six teen hours a day.
 The gate tenders have been notified that within a few days their working hours will be increased from eight to twelve hours day and, because of the change they will find an extra new crisp dollar bill in their pay envelopes every week. The men are naturally anything but enthusiastic over tho "kindness' and they are os going on strike.

 Transfer Freight Here.
 While no official announcement has been made by the company it is learned on good authority that New Haven road has made plans to re- store to Plainville the transfer station which was moved to New Haven and Hartford year ago. Heads of various departments in the yellow building were here yesterday to make the necessary arrangements and in a few days it is expected the work of trans ferring the freight will be started, a force of nearly 100 men being em- ployed as soon as the necessary changes can be made.
 Plainville, owing to it's central To- cation, makes an ideal place for a transfer yard While it is said that freight can be handled more expedi- tiously on the western division when it is transferred here it is believed that the saving of time is not tho only reason for locating the yard hero at this time. T
 There is a big strike of freight handlers in Boston and some difficult ty is being experienced in moving mer- Candise from one car to another at transfer points. By restoring tho transfer business to Plainville the ex- change of shipments can be made here, at least a large percentage of those sent over the western division relieving the congestion in the Mass achusetts yards.
 In connection with the relocating of the transfer station in Plainvil!e, a switch engine is to be put in opera

The school board helds it's annual
 meeting yesterday afternoon and

 The same men, who served so faith
 fully for the past term, were chosen
 to act in the same capacities. They arS as follows: President, J. T. Mo- llumphy; vice president, s. M. Cowles: treasurer, F. N, Bacon, and secretary, A. l.. Woodruff. The president will ap- point the members of the finance, teachers and repair committees be- fore the next meeting.
 After a short discussion it was voted to ask the town for an extra appro- priation of $500 to secure a new teacher and to fit up another room in the basement of the Kensington Grammar school. At present there are forty-seven pupils in the first grade and both the teachers commit
 tee and Superintendent Dows feel this is too many for one teacher to handle properly. There is not enough
 time for individual instruction and
 the 4work of the children does not get U a proper foundation The school kboard thinks another first grade teacher is necessary in order that the proposed amount of study may be given.
 On motion of Mr. Cowles 1t was voted that beginning on November 16 and thereafter all bills contracted hS the school board should be paid by orders drawn on the town trea- surer, in accordance with law as specified in the General Statutes, sec tions 22 and A.

HAD A BIG TIME.

The Ducktown party that started for
Chattanooga, last Saturday via automobiles,
had varied experience while enroute and
MANY tales to tell Of the condition of the
roads between here and Reliance
-Four cars started from here, but only
one got to Chattanooga Clint CLANCY.
Clint CLANCY and Roxy Campbell went
through and both are of the opinion that
''Hoyt's Cologne is not for sale IN Chat
tanooga- at least they claimed they could
not buy it.
The mystery Of the trip was why Clint
went to Soddy-and went alone. 1t is re-
norted that Clint would not have returned
alone if it had not been for the awful
roads.
Fate Morris was in a state OF chronic
disgust by the time Benton was reached
and upon consulting Mr. and Mrs. {. Nj.
Campbell they decided to stop there.
Clarence Taylor went around by Iellico
Plains and arrived home Monday evening.
Ii was the opinion of all that this end Of
the county has much better pixies than the
lower. The only bad place was on the
road to Springtown, which is not on the
pike.
They all claim they have had good time,
and on looking at the cars, we are inclined
to agree with them.
