PRINCIPAL WINS
 IN FIRST CLASH
 WITH LANDLORD
K. Everett Cortright Won't Be Restrained By An
 Injunction.

Principal E. Everett Cortright of Shelton and Island Brook schools has won a preliminary legal victory in his battle with the cruel landlord who sought to eject him from his North Main street apartment. Judge Gager in the superior court this morning overruled a demurrer filed against the injunction and prayer for relief which Cortright brought against John Scanlon, the landlord. This allows the injunction to stand and gives the school principal opportunity to pros ecute his suit.
 On Sept. l, 1915, Cortright leased the premises from William Hogan for a term of three years. The principal drew up the lease himself, but there were many legal flaws in it. When Hogan sold the place to Scan1on, the latter refused to recognize the lease on the ground that it was faulty. He asked Cortright to move and when the latter refused summary process proceedings were brought.
 Then Outright got an injunction restraining Scanlon from pressing the summary process action. Mean while the principal is occupying the apartment and doesn't have to pay any rent. The landlord won't accept ia for fear of invaHdating his legal rights. Attorneys DeFtorest & Klein represent Cortright

State Health Board Should Have Broader
 Powers, Says Brown

More power for the state board of health, which is now subservient to the local boards of health, is advo- cated by Dr. w. H. Brown, head of the local health department.
 s"The state board of health is vir- tually powerless in Connecticut" said Dr. Brown today. "On the other hand. the local boards of health have pretty nearly autocratic power" Dr.. Brown cited an instance of the kind in Massachusetts where practically the same conditions exist. In Penn sylva11ia, he declares, if the board ordered general ctoslng or the schools because of a serious epidemic, no local health board or school com mittee could override the rule.
 Preparations are being made here to guard against an incursion of small pox, which seems to be working it's way southward in this state.
 we have no cases of smallpox, but we have observed some of chicken pox. kindred disease said Dr. Brown.
 ..Every case of chicken pox should be given medical attention immedi- ately. People have the habit of say ing oh, it's only chickenpox,' and they neglect to get a physician. This often is a fatal error.
 .eNo cases hould be unattended. If a family cannot afford a physician, let if get in touch with the health de- nartnent and we will see that treat ment is given

Dewey today like wise supported the. statements of his wife Two papers signed by a num- Der of neighbors were introduced by AHys- Beecher and Garfield testifying to the good character of MT. and Mrs Dewey. Atty. E. O. Hull for the Hu- mane society offered a statement from Mrs. Mary J. Plumb, signed in the presence of Josephine B. Li1ls and Mabel L. Goldman, to the effect that the Deweys did not maintain their home properly.
 Attorney Hull in summing up for the prosecution declared that Mrs. Dewey had perjured herself. Both MT. and Mrs. Dewey cried at frequent intervals during the hearing today. Judge Miller reserved his decision.
