Return Auto License
 To saugatuck Man

Hartford. July 28.-After a hearing before Secretary of State. Charles D. Burnes yesterday, Carl V. sSch1aet of Saugatuck was given back his auto mobile license, which had been sus- pended for several offenses.
 Driving an automobile at TrunbuI1 park with the nuff1er open was his latest offense. Schlaet failed to ap- pear at previous hearing. His att torney explained this by saying that his client was away on a. boat trip and did not receive the notices sent. He stated that the only offense which stood against SchIaet, was having the muffler cut-out open, and that it was open in the daytime and not at night when it could have been considered a nuisance. He thought that Schlaet had learned his lesson, as every syoung g man had to do. In regard to the Faireld offense he said that proof was lacking as to reckless driving and he was cleared by the justice He admitted having been convicted in Westport for an offense and acquitted by the jury on appeal at. Bridgeport. At Trurnbull he said he was running with eut-out open and he said he told he told the officer that he was not sure whether he had his registrati tion papers with him, but found them af- terward under his car seat. His speed he said was 25 miles an hour, going
 
 very cautious to keep out of trouble in the future. The cut-out had been open for an hour and he had driven through the center of Trumbull. SeV- eral complaints had been received of Schlaet driving about with the cut out open since his latest offense, and his car was pretty-wen known, the secretary said. The license was re- stored with the explicit injunction that the next offense would cause the for feiture of his license.
 William l.. ShanIey of LftchfeId, who was concerned in an accident in which Cornelius Maloney of Water bur, received. injuries from which he died, January 5, was on the carpet. He failed to appear at a previous hear ing, of which he was notified, because he was away, he said. He could give no clear idea. of where he1 went or when he departed. He has since ap- piled for a license. Contrary to the record, he said that it was proved that MT. Maloney's death was not the result of the accident. He said that .MaIo1ley came from behind a car and that the street was covered w5.l- ice. He subsequently, said they were dry except for two streets of ice. He said he started to slow up when he saw Maloney, was clfnging to the radiator. A wheel passed over -MaIoney,s leg, fracturing his ankle. Shan1ey stated that he had not driven a car on the road since. The charge against him was no1Ied by the court, he stated. Decision was reserved.

Dear Sir
Yours of January 9Th just received,
containing County Order No. 2197 for
81, OS5.24.
You state that you found an over
charge of fourteen days for Alma
Pascha, and I wish to explain that
matter to you. 1t has always been the
custom of the school, when a girl es-
capes to keep her on the count for
two weeks. Every endeavor is made to
locate her and return her, and most
frequently more money is paid out by
our steward, whose duty it is to try
to trace girls. than the two weeks
board would be.
So, you thus see it is a legitimate
charge, and I would be very glad If
