court had sustained the objections that might have disposed of the suit All of the defendants were equally interested in the decision.
 The complaint, filed on Aug. 30 last, accused the defendants of conspiracy among the specific charges being the loss to the New Haven of $133, 3,OOO,- 900 by the alleged unlawful purchase of various corporations, and the loss of $2,000,000 in revenue by injury to the freight and passenger business, and by the expenditure of money in acquiring newspapers, influencing ac- tion on bills pending in the legisla- ture, etc.
 The plaintiffs got twenty days by Judge Hough's order to amend certain technical errors in their bill. In all other respects it was sustained as it stood. Judge Hough said
 'I do not think that any portion of the plaintiffs pleadings, certainly no relevant and material portion, as- serts that the defendants or any of them, were at any of the times men, toned, or in respect of any of the acts complained of guilty of fraud.
New Britain herald., 1916-12-12

| By saying that fraud is not shown 1 it is not meant that a wrong has not l been done, assuming the allegations l of the bill to be true. Of course all
 frauds are wrong, but not all wrongs 1 are frauds"
 ] Judge Hough said that in such civil action as the one at bar he was
 unable to comprehend what benefit
 could accrue to 8 plaintiff who plead
 ed conspiracy. He added:
 Let it be assumed that all of 1 these defendants desired and intend
 ed to violate the statute laws both of 1 the nation and of the several states.
 If they had done this to the pecuniary
 benefit of the corporation of which ] they were directors it is not seen how any action would lie either by the l corporation itself or by any of it's 1 shareholders after the acts had been i committed and the probable results
 thereof were in the coffers of the cor i poratiOn or the pockets of it's share 1 holders.
 ''The logic of this bill in my judg- ment is contained in the paragraphs I wherein it is stated in substance that 1 the defendants made the purchases and expended the money complained of while knowing that the prices which they caused to be paid were at least double the fair and reasonable value of the things acquired, and that such things were not and never
 would be worth any such sums of money"
 The opinion said that failure to prove conspiracy was not necessarily
 destructive of the suit, and that the plaintiffs should not be called upon at this time to specify the precise per sons responsible for the alleged wrongs complained of. The plaintiffs are Edwin Adams, Julius c. Morse, George c. Fisk, James F. Ray and Mary M. Clark. They own 1,O56 shares of stock.

TRY THIS TO BANISH
 ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS

People who have been tormented for years-yes, even so crippled that they were unable to help themselves have been brought back to robust health through the mighty power of Rheuma.
 Rheuma acts with speed; it brings in a few days the relief you have prayed for. It antagonizes the pois- ons that cause agony and pain in the joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness completely disap- pears.
 It is a harmless remedy, but sure and certain, because it is one discov- cry that has forced rheumatism and sciatica to yield and disappear.
 Try a 50-cent bottle of Rheuma and if you do not get the joyful relief you expect, your money will be re- turned. Clark & Brainerd company always has a supply of Rheuma and guarantees it to you.

WILLIAMSBURG TO HAVE
An AFTERNOON PAPER


williamsburg. ancient capital OF
Virginia, In TO become. the home OF an
afternoon daily newspaper within the
next few weeks, the williamsburg
Gazette. one of the oldest newspapers
In the United States, established In
1885. having been sold,to DIR. Lawrence
T. Price and associates OF this city,
DIR Price stated last night that the
flrst issue of the paper will appear
within the next few weeks.
Williamsburg. having become the
center of the latest of the DUPONT de-
velopments. comes into the fold OF
cities too large and too busy to walt
a week for its news to appear In
print and to supply this need. DIR. Price
and associates have decided to pub
fish an up-to-date afternoon news
paper. With the prestige gained by
the Gazette in its $50 years of exis-
tence as foundation, and a growing
city. whose news 1t will carry to the
world the new venture should prove
n success.
The paper will be managed by ex-
perienced newspaper men. The person
mel of the editorial and news stats will
not be announced for some time, though
corps of reporters, the editors and
tho business staff have already been
secured. The promoters of the new
daily have purchased 60xle0-foot lot
on which they will erect a two story
building to house the newspaper plant.
Machinery has been ordered and just
as soon as the buitiing can be erected
and the machinery installed the paper
will be printed In Williamsburg. In
the meantime, IL Is probable that the
paper will be printed In Richmond and
sent down to Williamsburg on an af-
ternoon train The work on the plant
is to be pushed to early completion and
the new daily will come from as mod
ern a newspaper plant as there is to
be found in the state.

grtticn OF at least zoo virginians came
here today to hear Billy Sunday preach
at the Tabernacle on The wlthered
Hand" They came from Norfolk,
Hampton, Newport News and other
spective churches. They occupied a
specially reserved. section in the big
shed. and at times Billy's thrusts were
punctuated with "Amens' by the
delegation. Mr., Sunday noticed this
ard said he was glad to know that
some real Tdethodists were in the
audience. At FIRST the "Amens" caused
SMILES to creep over the faces of
the large crowd In attendance. but
when the "AmeRs'' became more
freqL emit. these smiles passed away and
others took up the word.
II have known mon who have had
their hands in their pockets 80 long
IL would be impossible for them to pull
one hand out with a dollar for the
Lord" This was one of Billy Sunday g
thrusts that brought forth applause
and hearty "Amens'' from all quar-
tiers.
Some people have lifted booze SO
long. their hands are withered and
they can't open the Bible; some play
cards until their hands are withered
and they can't do anything for Jesus
I've as much right to play cards as
you have. but IL I did you people

ssThc Raiataon Between England and
Virginia In Sl1akcspcarc's Time"
The Relation Between England
ana virsinfa IN shskcspesre's Time
was the subject Of q lecture by Mrs.
sally Nelson Robins distinguished
novelist, at the Jefferson Hotel yes
terday afternoon. This lecture was
arranged by Mrs. william II. ospen-
heimer in connection with the Shakes
peare pageant.
The Tempest" written by Shakes
peare IN 1911, was the basis of Mrs.
Robins talk. The lecturer said: In
July, 1909, the Sea Venture, with
somers, Gates. Newport, John Rolfe
and many others. was wrecked on the
Bermudas, from which they escaped
10 Virginia in 1910. At least I'VE ac-
counts were soon published In Eng
land. Lee states that shakespeare
has Incorporated many hints from
these pamphlets, and that there IN no
reasonable doubt that the shipwreck
suggested this play.
another of Shakespeare's friends
who might have interested him in vir-
ginia was the poet, Michael Drayton.
who himself, a worcestershire man.
was frequently at Stratford. In 1905
he had written the ode to the Vir-
Einta Voyage which calls Virginia
'earth's only Paradise
"Eeverai of Shakespeare other
friends had interests and connections
in Virginia. Richard Quincy, whose
brother, Thomas, married the poets
Youngest daughter. Judith, removed
to London and entered into partner
ship with John Sadfer. also n STRAIT
ford man, whose uncle. Hamnet Sad
Ter, was one Of Shakespeere's intimate
friends and godfather to one OF his
sons. The partners prospered and In
vested some of their profits In the
purchase OF Martins Brandon (now
'Brandon') in Virginia. The estate
was owned by several generations Of
their descendants.
when the end came and posthumous
honors were being paid TO the great
poet, the first folio was dedicated to
william Herbert. Earl OF Pembroke.
one Of the foremost men of the vir-
gtn,a Company, who once owned 3o.-
600 acres here and had river named
for him, while Leonard Digges. a very
minor poet, but uncle OF our Governor
Edward Digges was one of those who
contributed Mandatory verse to the
volume.
Az these desuitory notes began with
the relationship OF q Virginia family
to the lord chamberlain, under whose
patronage Shakespeare's company fast
gained fame. SO It may begin with a.
sort OF fn-law' relation to his last de-
scendant. This was his granddaugh-
ter, Elizabeth Hall, who, when tho
widow Nash. married. In 164g. John
Bernard, afterwards Sir John of Alb
ingdon Manor, near Northampton. Sir
John Bernard, who was born in 1904
and died In 1878. had a nephew, WILL
liam Bernard, who emigrated to vir-
sinia about 1870, became member
OF Council and has many descendants
among Us. Bernard was. therefore,
nephew-in-iaw TO Shakespeare's last
descendant. Had he been gifted with
prophecy, or had he asked his Amt
Elizabeth for some relics of Shakes
peare we might have had some article
of great interest to be exhibited at the
great Shakespeare pageant 20 be held
here"
Mrs Robins read several pertinent
passages from Shakespeare's play.

her talk.
