 Complications in Suit.
 Testimony concerning cOmplica- tiOns in the litigation between Roger w. Egan and William J. Sanders of New Britain, which is a sequel to collision in which autos belonging to the men involved, occurred in Plaln- vile several months ago occupied the attention of Judge Markham in the court of common pleas yesterday aIt- ernoon. Decision was reserved, the court taking the papers in the case.
 Both men denied responsibility for the accident, each planes the other. After the accident Egan sued Sanders and although the latter defaulted de- cision was returned for him in the justice court. Sanders then brought an action against Egan and he de- faulted the court returning a verdict for the plaintiff. Egan took an ap- peal to the court of common pleas and yesterday the attorneys argued l the case before Judge Markham. Trees Are Safe.
 Since the selectmen issued a notice l of the hearing to be held on June 19, when the matter of accepting the new highway layouts for Broad, Bohemia and North Washington streets and F'orestville avenue, a number of property owners have protested against the proposed changes owing to their belief that if the maps are ap- proved by the board it will be neces- sary to cut down shade trees which the survey shows extend onto the high way.
 Selectman Johnson gives assur- ance that the board has no intention of making any such changes. The adoption of the street lines will make no difference for the present at least. with the position of any of the trees and only in case cement or flag walks are laid will 1t be necessary to dis turb them. Even in that event it will probably be possible to make the inn provements with out cutting down any of the naples or elms which serve to beautify the different streets.
 Goes to State Farm.
 Acting on the suggestion of the To- cal authorities Judge Curtis yester- day afternoon sent Jack O'Hara of this place to the state farm for in ebriates for a period of not less than one and not more than three years O'Hara was bound over from here as a common drunkard and in the su- perior court he entered a plea of guilty to the charge.
 O'Hara is a BarleycOrn victim and TOT d IuIIlDCI u CoIS IlC IloS lllduS frequent visits to the court for intox- ication. Jail sentences did him but little if any good and the authorities believe his only chance of reclama- ton is in an extended stay at the state farm.
