HERALD FILM IS READY FOR RELEASE
First Run Will Be Made at Tox's To- morrow Evening-COnteSt
 Leaders Invited.

Word was received from the offices of the Mirror Films Co. yesterday that the film taken in New Britain of To- cal talent chosen by the Popularity Contest conducted by the Herald was ready for it's final ''cutting'' and would be ready for presentation here beginning Sunday evening. The de- sires of local people to see them selves upon the screen will be grati- fled at that time unless some of the scenes for ineXplicable reasons have been lost" The film will run for a week at Fox's theater.
 It was necessary, during the week in which the pictures were being taken here to retake several scenes among which was the scene taken at the Fox's theater on Monday evening, December Ii. Unforeseen complica- tions interfered with the proper pres entation of the scene upon the screen. However a retake was made under conditions similar to those which ex- isted upon the first 'shot' and the Herald expects that this time the presentation will be all right as it has not been advised to the contrary.
 In order that the principals of the drama may be able to be present upon the first run of the film Manager Youngson of the theater has kindly invited those who accompanied the party to New York to be present to- morrow evening and will try and re- serve two loges for the party's use. It will be necessary however to reach the theater earlier than usual as the house will open at 6 D. m. A repre- sentative of the Herald will meet the leaders in the contest in the box office or lobby.

 Local MGn

Fearl t.. Williams of Plainviile wa given divorce from Nelson F. w;l- llainS Of this city and the custody Of one child by Judge Milton A. Shum- way m superior court at Hartford yesterday.

Immediately following the cerc mony they started for California and lived for two and a half years in Napa Valley in that state.
 In her testimony. Mrs Williams claimed that her husband did not treat her properly in the presence of other women and spoke in an insult ing manner about her while thcv were on the honeymoon trip. The first summer that they were in Cal ifornia, she testified, he compelled her to go on a camping trip when she was physically unfit to do SO and never provided her with a decent home.
 She said that he was iliterate. never read himself and refused to allow her to read. In fact, she said. he shot at her one night when she insisted upon reading a book. After wards, she said, he stood her I'D against the wall and, at inc point of 9 revolver. made her promise that she would never tell that he had shot at her.
 Much of the time that they were in California was passed on a ranch and for months at a time she did not leave it. According to her testimony, they came East in May, 1913, and Williams continued his abuse and would not treat her properly. She continued by saying that several times he had threatened to commit suicide They separated during March of this year.

FREE CONTRIBUTIONS
 ARE FALLING OFF
Fund for Public Christmas Tree Is Swelled by $13-More Money
 Is Needed

Despite the fact that Christmas Day is not far off the contributions re- ceived today at the Herald office to the fund for the public Christmas Tree on Central park were few in number, and fell far below the aver age upon other days. There was but $500 as a total after subscriptions had been entered. This makes a grand total of $2S3.24 in the fund, not enough by fifty dollars to pay the ex- pense.
 Nevertheness, the committee has taken it upon itself to see that the times are represented, and well rep resented, by a shining symbol upon the park and the lights will glitter no less gloriously because of the fact that but a few individuals have given of their means to support the project. Probably there will be enough re- ceived within the next few days to pay for the tree. Let us hope so at any rate. Those who contributed today

WOMEN IN FOOD RIOTS
Fair Sex of Dresden March Past Kings Palace and Huri Epithcts at His Gates.

London, Dec. 23, 6 a. m.-A Rot terdam despatch to the Exchange Tel egraph company says there was food riots in Dresden on December IT. IS and 19, especially on the 10th, when troops were called to help the police in suppressing the troUble which arose from the closing oe several food shops on Sunday because they were without stock.
 The despatch says women stoned the shops on Sunday and then marched through the streets but the police did not interfere. There was another parade on Monday when the paraders passed the kings palace shouting for food. Several women are said to have been arrested for using insulting language about the king.
 The disturbances were renewed on Tuesday when a sharp fight occurred in which 100 women and three pO- licemen are reported to have been wounded. The soldiers then charged the crowds and cleared the streets.

INJUNCTION STOPS
WORK ON RAILROAD

The Hillsboro Enterprise says that
work on the extension of the Hillsboro
& North Eastern railroad stopped sud-
denly. The contractor ceased work at
noon in response to an injunction
brought to stop the work until settle
ment was made for some right of way
at this end of the Hne. The delay is
only temporary and work will probably
be resumed again soon. The injunction
proceedings were threshei out before
Judge Higbee at Lacrosse when the
contractor was enjoined from throwing
any more rock into the pond. A settle
ment will probably be made between
le railroad and the land owners so
that work will not be delayed longer
than necessary. 1t is said that condem
nation proceedings have already been
started.
