The Polish Relief fund was in- creased by $2,960 as a result of yes terday's tag day, record that puts New Britain far ahead of other cities of it's size in the country. The 200 girlsawt bY0t1ght in $2, 20s.s0 in their coIlectfon boxes and the re- mainder represents checks and bills collected by the committee, pr. Julius Rupert himself collected $500.
 When the money was counted, 1t was found that $75 represented pen nies, $590 nickles, $754 dimes, $Ss0 quarters, $40 half dollars, and the rest in larger denominations. When the complete report is made, the com mittee will send a check for the to- tai receipts to Henryk Sienkiwicz, the Polish author who is at the head of the relief work in Poland.

.HOITY GIRLS TO SUE M'MAHON FOR SI0,OOO Say Theater Magnate Slan- dered Them Wouldn't
 Live in His Hotel.

l Were going to sue P. S. McMahon l for $1O.0O0, for defamation of char l acter.'' Thus spoke Miss Evelyn Shea and Miss Matey Claywood. until Itoday members of the Hoitey Toitey girls who are playing at Keeney's theater These two young women, with the Misses Agnes Grant and Leah and Dorothy Colhane, the last named being sisters, severed their connec- tons with the troop this noon and left early this afternoon for New Y ork where they say they will engage counsel and sue the local theatrical magnate for $10,000. Before leaving New Britain, h owever, these five girls visited Attorney F. F. McDonough for advice and as result they re- ce1yed what pay was due them from the theater.
 All five of the girls have a long list of grievances against P. s. McMaon, all arising from the. fact that ne ob- jected to their boarding at the Grand oHtel instead of his hostelry, they say. Miss Shea and Miss Claywood 9 assert that he up- braided them brutaly for not putting
 
 names to them that would bring blushes to the face Of a cigar storey Indian
 On Saturday night, claim all of the quintet, their pay was cut down s2 apiece without any explanation. On Sunday night they visited the movies in Keeney's theater and "P. s." or dered the house policeman to eject them, they claim. Yesterday they pre- pared to go on with their act, as usual, when they allege, the proprietor rushed behind the scenes and, using vile language, told them to get out as he already had too many girls on his pay rol1.H When they demanded their pay he declined, as did Sol Fields who engaged them to come here. The girls then visited Lawyer McDonough and he convinced the theater man that the girls must be paid. But in order that we should get our money the rest of the girls in the troop had to sign I. 70. us for F. s. McMahon," exclaimed Miss Shea.
 All five of the girls are unanimous in declaring that they never before received such treatment as they have from the management here and the Misses Shea and Claywood instist that they will sue McMahon for $1O,000. The other three girls say that they will appear on the witness stand to corroborate the alleged slander by McMahon. x
 Before leaving on the afternoon train for the metropolis all five of the girls called at Prosecutor Kletts of flee but did not have time to wait until he came. It is supposed that they in- tended to ask for a warrant for Me- Mahon's arrest.
