VISITORS PROTEST
 NEW TRAFFIC SIGN
Can't See It, Claim Men Arrested
 for Ordinance Violation

Two out of town men, James Thompson of Hartford and w. T. Bidwell of South Windsor, came into the New Britain police court this morning and laid befort the court the fact that the signs suspended at the National Bank corner and in front of St. Marks church to tell autoists that the district between is prohibited for parking automobiles for more than five minutes at a time, it not notice- able to strangers and doesn't give all out of town motorist fair chance to observe the law. In each instance Judge kirkham suspended judgement
 No Precedent Established.
 It was charged that on August 27 MT. Bidwell permitted I1is.auto to re- main in the prohibited space for more than five minutes He pleaded guilty but explained the situation to the court, saying that he was ignorant of such an ordinance. T think that sign ought to be lowered as one can't see it in passing unless he looks up. In Hartford such signs are low enough to be seen. A stranger ought to have as fair chance in New Brit ain as they are given in Hartford" he said.
 MT. Thompson also pleaded guilty. On August 13 he left his auto in front of the National Bank for forty min utes while he had a conference with President A. J. Sloper of the bank. You can't see that sign. It is small and high up and unless you know it is there you are not apt to see it, he told the court.
 That ordinance is made to be ob- served, but without constituting a precedent for future cases I will make the same course, $5 and judgement suspended,'' said Judge Kirkham.
 Other Traffic Violators Fined.
 George Johnson, son of Henning Johnson, who said in court Saturday that it was his son who. left his auto mobile in front of a hydrant on Main street near LeWitt's block in violation of the traffic ordinance, admitted his guilt today. The young. man said he didn't know it was against the law.
 This particular hydrant in front of LeWitts block is being neglected as l see from my own observations, said Judge kirkham, who declared that the ordinance must be observed. He assessed a fine of $2 without costs on the accused.
 Cohen Case Continued.
 Lawyer Saxe sojourning at Rocka- way beach, the case of Mrs. Sophie Cohen against Aaron Cohen for non support was continued for another week.
 Throws at Man-Hits Window.
 Luigi Andrecki's aim is bad, which is bad for him for his bad aim cost him $20 and costs in court With a real or imagined grievance against Charles Courcht he picked up a stone last evening near the top of Webster Hill and hurled it at his enemy. The stone flew wild and crashed through the plate glass window in a store in Harry Kovorkian's block. MT. Kov- orkian rushed out and caught Luigi and Toney Dulch, holding them until the police came, but in the interim Luigi tried to throw away a razor he had in his hand It was found how ever, and this made it the harder for him today.
 Courcht said that he and Ernest Bronsman were passing the above named duo with three other friends when he accidentally brushed An dreckrs arm. He said "excuse me-" but Luigi's honor was not satisfied and he knocked him down and fol- lowed up this advantage with bonn bardment of stones. Whether the fact that Courcht is pro-German and Andrecki is an Italian had anything to do with the trouble is not known.
 While Andrecki was assessed $20 and costs his companian, Dulch, was fined $5 and costs.
 After an absence from court of sev- eral months, Genarre Palmeiri again appeared this morning in the role of Italian interpreter.
