FIRST MRS. HEFT
SCORES IN SUIT ,
FOR ALLOW ANCE
Defense Loses Motion That
She Be Compelled to File
More Information.

Frances Helene lneft of Mauch
Chunk, Pa, who claims the late Col.
N. H. Heft of this city concealed from
her the real value of his estate, won a
preliminary victory in the superior
court this morning when Judge Case
denied a motion by counsel for the
Heft estate asking that Mrs Heft be
compelled to file a more specific state
ment.
Lawyers for the estate wanted Mrs
to supply details such as whether Col.
Heft perjured himself when he con-
cealed the value of his estate and
what articles of his personal property
he concealed. Arguments on this mo-
ton were made last Friday before
Judge Case.
Frances Helen Heft alleged that
when she obtained a divorce from Col
Heft in January 1903, he did not have
friendly feeling for her and for that
reason gave the value of his estate as
t$10o, 200. She was given $4,000 ALI
mony. She said the estate was worth
100000 and her alimony should have
been about $3.50, 900. An inventory in
the probate court there last July
showed the value of the estate as
about $500, 900 Mrs. Heft wants the
court to modify the divorce decree.
The present action is brought against
Mary J. M. Heft of this city and
George S. Heft of New York.

DANGER Turks IN
FALLEN WIRES IN
NORTH BRIDGEPORT
Policemen Stationed at
Street intersections Pilot
Pedestrians Home.


Grand street, from Main street to
North Washington avenue, was mass
of tangled wires last night, a dozen
telephone poles and cross trees break
ing off under the load Of wet snow. A
few minor fires were caused, but the
greatest danger came from the possi-
biIity of e1ectrocut1on.
Policemen were stationed on Main
street and North Washington avenue
and sent North End residents home
by roundabout routes Wires were
continually popping and it would have
been foo1hardy for pedestrians to pass
through the danger zone. The police
men encountered many newcomers to
the city, who didn't know their way
home except by way of streets that
were blocked. Escorts were arranged
for these be1ated ones where possible

Where there breaks are is not now
known, but crews were sent out early
today from both ends of the lines in
all direction to MAKE repairs.
Telegraph poles from Housatonic
avenue to the city line also went
down last night and generally
Throughout the city, poles and wires
came into the streets, sometimes caus-
ing slight fires but generally creating
no damage except to public service
corporations.
The Southern New England Tele-
phone Co. issued a statement to the
effect that the storm had interfered
greatly with it's local and trunk lines
both in Connecticut throughout an
area approximately so miles wide, ex-
tending along the shore line from
Guilford across the state in a north
westerly direction.
So far as reported, the statement
says 'tThe company has between 900
and 400 poles down and its exchanges
at Manchester, Rockville, Stamford,
Chatham and Orange are isolated
through breaks in trunk lines. OF
the larger exchanges. Bridgeport has
suffered most, having approximately
900 stations out of service, with New
Haven next with 400, while Hartford
and Waterbury escape without serious
interruption"
The work of repairing is being
pushed energetically, the statement
says, and it is thought that within a
week opditions will be normal.

The Southern New England TeIe-

storm of last night at Bridgeport,
which was the hardest hit exchange in
the state. Manager w. w. knight re-

The first serious trouble began at
about 6 O'Clock last night when ice
began to coat on small wires of lit

On Main street. near Grand, a. number
of poles were carried into the street
at 10 O'Clock, narrowly missing Pc
destrians and automob i1ists.
These were wires of the American
nicating with Danbury, Derby and
New z ork, and service with these
points was greatly crippled. Later all
wires into Danbury, Derby and
points up country were DESTROYED.

) DON'T OvERPAMPER CHILD.

Don't start out with the idea that be-
cause an only child is so very precious
he is naturally delicate also. He is
probably quite as strong as other little
ones, but you will make him fragile il
you take too much care of him.
Don't keep him all to yourself, but
encourage him to mix with other chill
dren as much as possible. AS he has
no brothers and sisters. he needs a
whole host of little friends u keep
him In good spirits.
Don't wait on him hand and foot or
call him poor lamb" or spoil and in
dulge him because he is the only one"
If these things are permitted they will
make him quite unfit to hold his own
among other boys. and when he goes
TO school he will have a very miserable
time indeed.
Don't interfere too much with his
games and amusements. Children.
eve IL they have brothers and sisters,
often like to play alone. 1t is a mis-
take to think that an only child needs
entertaining all the time. If you let
him get into the habit Of expecting this
he will very soon become a nuisance to
himself and every n else in the house.
