DESERTED HIS WIFE
DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
New London Woman Secured Divorce
Never Gave Her But rs Cents.

On the uncontested divorce list in the
superior court here Friday morning be-
fore Judge Gardiner Greene a divorce
was granted Ada Chadwick Dyer of
New London from Timothy P. Dyer of
the same place, and she was given
permission for change of name to Ada
Latham Chadwick. She alleged deser-
ton since Dec. &C. 1911, which was a
little more than a month after their
marriage on Nov. 5, 1911. Attorney
John J. Lawless presented her case.
Mrs. Dyer testified that the sum to-
tai she ever received from her hus-
band in the way of support was three
25-cent pieces. He never bought her
clothes or supported her, although be-
fore the wedding he had promised her
a home. Afterwards he referred to
that as a joke.
The mother of the plaintiff, Mrs.
Emma Whiteman Chadwick, said that
her daughter was married when she
was IS, but it was not known to the
mother until two hours after the mar
riage. Her daughter has not worked
for a, year, she said.
Mrs. Alice L. Cutten, an aunt of the
petitioner, testified to hearing Dyer
say that he was going to leave his wife
and he told her he would not go to
his mother-in-laW'S home to see his
wife
Through some questions that Attor-
was brought out that Mr.. Dyer is a
Catholic and that when he was vexed
with his wife he would swear at her
and call her a Protestant. At one time
he said he was going to Philadelphia,
but he did not do so.
Mrs. Dyer testified that they were
married in New London by Elder
Brown. She now lives with her moth
er, and her husband is also living in
New London, where he is a, machinist.
Three days after they had been mar
ried he took her to the home of her
grandmother IN Noank and on the first
Christmas day after they were married
she asked her husband to provide a
home for her. He left the next day,
telling her she was well enough off.
They have not lived together since
then. Before the separation the wife
had also lived with her own parents
and with her husbands parents. There
was some trouble about a handbook
she had, and the husband once asked
his wife when her mother was going to
get a divorce for her daughter.
The divorce suit of Shirley A.
Thompson VS.. Maria A. Thompso, which
is brought on a cross-complaint, was
postponed.

REFORM LAW
Wonaen's Clubs Federation Reform
/. Charges This to Legislature of
1Q15

Thompsonville, Conn, May 21.-At
the 10Th annual session of the Con-
necticut Federation of Women's clubs
here today the committee on civil ser
vice reform presented a report which
was accepted, critizing the general
assembly in the matter of civil service
reform. The report read in part as
follows:
1.-THE work done by this federation
for the advance Of civil service reform
in our state for another year has been
recorded. How sorely our state need
ed every bit Of concerted influence has
been shown by the disaster which has
befallen our state civil service reform
law. which was adopted in 1913. The
legislature of 1915 has so mangled the
hill as pracC1cally to make void the
EIerit system"
After quoting the words of former
President Taft. the reports says his
appeal was in vain" Continuing, the
report says bad politics prevailed.
This fact proved how important it is
that this federation should rouse it
self to work vigorously to create pub
lie opinion in favor of the merit sys-
tenn"

Before Judge Gardiner Greene here
Friday at the short calendar and mo-
ton list session of the superior court
a motion to strike out was argued and
granted in the suit brought by the
town of Lisbon against it's former
treasurer, Charles D. Wolf, and others.
The party defendant is the Fidelity
and Deposit company, which was on
his bond for $4,000. suit having been
brought on the claim that as treas
urer of the town he had received GER
tain monies which he had not ac-
counted for. but had appropriated to
his own use.
One motion to strike out was brought
on behalf of the defendant Wolf and
the others by the Fidelity and Deposit
treasurer. 1t was claimed that the
amounts asked to be stricken out
were irrelevant and no failure or neg
lect of duty or breach of conditions OF
the bond during it's continuance was
alleged. because it does not appear
that said sums were paid to Mr.. Wolf
during the period covered by the bond,
viz, subsequent to Oct. Is, 1911, and
because it does not appear that said
sums were paid to said Wolf during
his alleged term Of Office but prior
thereto.
On June 6, 1906, $232.06, paid by Tax
Collector Lorenz kraus; 5000 in Sep
TENDER, 1908, paid by treasurer of the
state of Connecticut; $497.0S on Sept.
4, 1909, paid by Tax Collector Herman
Leonard: $195.6S in August, 1910, paid
by treasurer of the state of Connecti-
cut; $20S.96 in November, 1910, paid
by treasurer Of state of Connecticut;
$27.29 in November, 1908, and $30.S5 in
the same month, paid by persons I'M
known.
There was also another sum, $209 Is,
paid on Nov. 20, 1913, by Francis H
Johnson, tax collector, which it was
alleged was paid after VOLTS term of
Office expired and after his liability on
the bond had terminated. Another
amount is $24.7S, which was admitted
by Wolf, in January, 1914, to belong to
the town. The total amounts stricken
out were $1,489.15.
This left only the item of $2,609. SO
paid on April 2, 1913, by Tax Collector
Francis H. Johnson, which is not
stricken out of the plaintiffs amended
complaint.
Attorneys A. NJ Brown and A. A.
Browning for the defendants and v
P. A. Quinn for the town of Lisbon
made the arguments.
A foreclosure judgment was granted
the Savings Bank of New London
against Edwin A Card, Warren B.
Burrows, conservator of Mr.. Gard, and
Edward T. Pettigrew, trustee of the
bankrupt estate Of Edwin A. Card, all
Of Groton.
The suit was brought to recover on
three notes. The first was $4,000, Civ

MUST ELECT FAIR
DIRECTORS EARLY


Special to The World
OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 1S.-An
opinion that will be Of no little inn
portanre relative to the organization
of free fairs in the townships was
given to Basken r. Lawson of Wag-
oher county by the attorney general
today.
The statute relative to the free
fairs provides that directors for these
fairs must be elected in November for
the next two years before the county
commissioners may declare the law in
erect in the various townships and if
these directors are not elected then
there can be no occasion for the com
missioners to declare the law in cf-
feet and no fairs may be held.
1t is also held that a majority Of
the townships of the county may elect
directors and the county commits
sioners may appoint directors in the
ether townships of the county in
which no directors have been elected,
but if majority of the townships
have not done so, then it would be as
if no directors had been elected In
any Of the townships and no fairs
could be held.
The attorney generals office has
received probably more inquiries con-
ccrninE the free fair law than any
other one subject, aside from the
school land office, and opinions have
been given on every angle Of the free
fair law, This is the first time, how
ever that this phase of the matter
has been construed by the states
legal adviser.

WILSON'S POLITE DISMISSAL.
How the President RidS Himself of
Unwclcimc Visitors.

In the January American Maga-
zine is an unusually interesting art-
Gle by James Hay, Jr., on the working
habits of the president Of the United
States. In it he gives the following
description of how Wilson rids him
self Of unwelcOme visitors
"When Mr.. Wilson first came to
Washington, senators and members
Of the hous of representatives tried
to follow their old system of taking
up as much of a presidents time as
possible. They were astOnshed to
find that the thing could not be done
Unless the matters on which they
called and for which they had made
appointments We're of unusual import
ance, each conference was expected
to last anywhere from three to five
minutes. At the end of the allotted
time Mr.. Tumulty would walk into
the presidents private office and the
president would rise TO mis- feet and
say:
Now you may be sure that this
will be looked into"
There was no way Of refusing to
accept that polite dismissal. After
each one had departed, Mr. Wilson,
who is himself an expert stenog-
rapher-so expert that a page from
his notebook is as clean and clear
cut as a piece Of engraving would
make a shorthand note of the callers
business At the end of each day he
would go through the notebook and
give directions or dictate letters, dis
missing the days work. These rules
he follows today"
