Besides being a big success as a
Theatrical production through the
fine work of the Norwich amateurs
who were in the cast, the opera Pima
fore which was given last Wednesday
at the Davis theatre under the au-
spices of the Woman's auxiliary of the
Young Mems Christian association,
had decidedly satisfying financial re-
suits. Without all the returns in
from the numerous ticket sellers, it
is now predicted that the net returns
to the auxiliary will be between $3.50
and $400, furnishing a sum which will
be very welcome at this time as it
will at once put the auxiliary in shape
to fulfill it's pledge of $400 to the as
sociation which the auxiliary made at
its recent annual meeting.
With tie balance which was in the
treasury at the time of the annual
meeting and the proceeds from Pima
fore the pledge can be easily met
Hard work on the part of the COM
rnitees in charge and the generous
services of those in the cast, in which
the principal female parts were taken
by Miss Elsie D. Brand as Jose
phine," Mrs Reuben P. Potter as Lit
tie Buttercup.' and Miss Florence
Weller as "Hebe," We're all contribut-
ing factors in the successful result
and have ELECTED hearty thanks from
the chairman and members of the
executive committee of the Woman's
auxiliary.

PROTECTS THE CHILD
: OF DIVORCE LITIGANTs.
Judge Burpee Induces Parents to
: Avoid Court Hearing in WarrenvilIe

Judge Lucien F. Burpee made it
known in the superior court session at
Hartford Wednesday morning that it
was his desire to protect Anna Mil
idred Wright, who was born in War
TenVille, town of Ashford. July 4, 1905.
She is the child of Mary Elizabeth
Wright, who was Mary E. Button, and
who lives in Hockanum, and Earl Ros-
3coe Wright, who lives in Warrenville,
and in whose custody Anna, is. Anna S
parents were involved in a divorce
proceeding, before. Judge Burpee. Anna
was in the court room and while her
father was contesting the right of
Annals mother to be divorced the
really serious element in the case was
the custody of Anna. Her mother
wanted legal custody of her, and SO
did the father, and Anne. was really
the cause of the fight.
The proceeding in itself was GER
tainlY a great day for Ashford and
Warrenville. There was a large at
tendance and many of those present
were residents of the eastern part of
the state, to be witnesses on one side
or the other. Mrs. Wright charged
her husband with habitual intemper-
ance and intolerable cruelty: Royal w.
Thompson was her lawyer. William A
King and Samuel B. Harvey, both of
Willimantic, appeared for Wright. The
case was brought few months ago to
the superior court of New Haven coun-
ty. Mrs. Wright at the time of the in
stitution of the action being a resident
Of NJ Aford.- a few weeks ago, however,
tire case was transferred from New
Haven county. to the superior court of
Hartford county for the convenience of
the parties.
The couple were married at Hebron
on July 4. 1899. Mrs. Wright lived in
Turnerville then and taught school in
Warrenyille.. After the marriage, she
and her hsuband went to live at the
home of her husbands parents in War
renville.
Judge Burpee told the lawyers that
he would suspend the hearing for the
time, as he had an appointment to so
into the conference with the judges of
the supreme court. He said that the
invariable rule with him in such cases
had been to put the child in the Gus
tody of a third person. In speaking to
the lawyers he said that he would sug-
gest that you gentlemen, not as law
yers, but as gentlemen" get together
and see if something could not be done
to avoid the necessity of an open court
hearing for the sake of the child and
the parents.
A conference was held and the attor-
neys agreed on Judge Gideon H. WEIGH
of Torrington as a committee to hear
the evidence.

FORBIDDEN BUT UNPOSTED
COLCHESTER PATHWAY,
Norwich Auto Party Held Up for Three
Dollars by Village Authorities.

An auto party of Norwich people
was taken to Colchester Thursday
evening by Joseph E. Spicer, and while
driving about the village the car was
hailed by a constable and the driver
warned that his number had been
taken and he would hear from the Off
cial later
1t was found that the use of a path
across the green wider than the auto
tracks by about two feet had been pro-
hibited by vehicles, but that there is
nothing to indicate this to a stranger,
and the path was being used under the
supposition that it was a highway
The constable and a justice of the
peace were hunted up later and the
matter adjusted by a payment of SO,
but the Norwich party was especially
sore over such treatment where there
was no intention of evading the law
and no signpost to indicate that it was
forbidden to vehicles. From statements
made to them by Colchester people. it
was declared to be a, trap" in which
others. have been caught and made to

pletes his fourth year of service as di-

ularity with the men and boys of the
city has grown steadily since the day
of his coming in 1911. The various ac-
tivities of past years have been re-

sons why We look forward with so

fifth time as president of the Y. NJ.

the association, held Friday evening
in the parlors of the association build
ing, The meeting was TO have been

Following the secretary's report of
the last annual meeting, President
Case read his annual report which
was in part as follows:
To the Members of the Association:
The close of the year marks the Goth
anniversary of the history of the Nor
witch Y. M. C. A, and on such an oc-
casiOn one naturally is led to compare
it's present condition with certain pc
RODS of its past history. The work of
the year just past is such as to make
most favorable comparison with any
similar period since our organization,
for. because of the very efficient lead
erShip of our general secretary, Mr.
Hill, and the hearty cooperation of
every officer, director and committee
member our statistics at the present
time show much larger average than
ever before There have been no
changes in our officers, and many of
the committees have retained the same
membership as in other years.
Business Department.
For the tenth consecutive time we
have closed our books without a deficit
for current expenses and the treas
urerS report shows a statement of all
bills paid and balance in the treas
ury. This is especially gratifying be-
cause of the fact that certain of our
contributors have felt the pressure of
the times and some of our larger con-
tributions were necessarily withdrawn.
Death also has taken from our list of
contributors q number who have been
exceedingly generous in days past The
finance committee mas recomm ended
the raising of our funds for the new
year in the same manner as has been
followed in the past four years. and |
again ask your very earnest and pray
erful cooperation in the financial
campaign which begins next week.

President Case spoke of the need of
more adequate quarters for the asso-
citation because of which during the
year the trustees and directors unant-
mously voted to sell the present build
ing at such time as a favorable offer
might be received, and steps ITO this
end are being -rar11e d fa,aKardz-

In speaking of this department, Mr..
Case said: Mr.. Nickersons work has

never had so satisfactory an all

year just closing. This has been espe-
cially true in the class work and much
personal benefit has been derived by
MANY of orr VOlng men.

CIRCLE OF SUBMARINES.
Flotilla of Providers Prepare TO Sow
Mines

London, Feb. 25-The British Isles
are hinged with German submarines.
The admiralty has ordered every
port to be watched with extraordi-
nary vigilance, as a steamer was
sunk rear it's pier at Eastbourne.
The ship Western Coast has been
sunk off Beachy Head, either by a
mine of a German submarine. Her
crew was landed at Portsmouth to-
day.
Astonished by the German daring
ard skill that has sent the under-sea
craft into the closed waters of the
hitherto tight little ISLE" the Brl-
fish admiralty received word today
that a flotilla of trawlers was on its
way to sow floating mines up and
down the British coast.
Repeated submarine attacks on
rerthant shipping and further, des-
truction of vessels by mines in the
war zone has exasperated the British
people and constant demand IS made
that the government order an i'm
mediate and effective naval blockade
of the German coast even at the rlsR
of the loss of one or more OF the ma
tion's first line battleships.

of feeling concerning the attitude OF
Italy has been noticeable in diploma

greater concern. The reasons for TINS

clare that since the readiness OF Italy

crown stronger.
II is is declared in reliable quar-
ter that Prince Won Buelow, the Ger
man Ambassador to Italy has sum-
married. the Italian situation to his
government substantially as follows:
Italy has spent nearly $4OO,O0O,'
600 in war preparations since the out
break of hostilities; consequently ac'
ton on her part is daily becoming
more imperative. Furthermore for
internal reasons, all political parties
are asking the government to obtain
MS q result of diplomatic negotiation
@. through the use Of the Italian army
or navy, the fulfilment of. the aspira'
tons of the nation particularly IN re-
turn for the heavy sacrifices already
made.
Germany has urged Austria Hun-
gary strongly to cede to Italy her
Italian: province of Trent, and por-
ton. of the Istria peninsula, with the
idea of keeping Italy neutral at the
present time, and enlisting her favor
for the future.
1t has been asserted in Rome thai
Prince Won Buelow has said Austria
must he induced to accede to his views
concerning territorial concessions Ia
Italy. else he would resign his post.
