TROLLEY ROADS IN STATE SHOW
 BUSINESS BOOM
Fares Jump Million a Month During the Past Year.

Hartford, Dec. S.-The phenomenal growth of large industrial centers in Connecticut, due largely to the i'm portation of thousands of workers in great munitions factories. is indicated in the annual report of the. state pub- lie utilities commission made public today During the past year the street railway companies alone caf- ried 12,000,000 more passengers than in 1915. The unusual amount of freight, passenger and express business found the transportation companies unprepared, says the report. with the result that the service was much be- lew the standard
 'There is reason for serious ap- prehension pertaining to railroad transportation" the report continues. 'The companies are still unprepared to handle satisfactorily volume of business equal to that of the previous year, although to a limited extent they are better equipped"
 During the year the public service companies under the conission's s jurisdiction, including companies do- ing business without the state de- clared dividends of over $53,000,000, an increase for the year of over $5,- 000,000.
 The increasing numbef of accidents calls for a word of warning from the commission. During the year 49 more fatalities and ~ more accidents than in the previous year were reported. Total fatalities were 210 and total ac- cidents 5,615. The commission urges a state law requiring the installation of standard advance signs on the line of highways, three hundred feet from railroad tracks at grade crossings. Only three grade crossings were elim- mated during the year. This number was less than required by law, but the elirninations were not ordered because "the financial condition of the com panies did not warrant such an or der"

Start Fight to Stop Wyckoff Action For 
 Separation in Nevada

The fight by Vera B. Wyckoff to get an injunction restraining Spofford F. Wyckoff, wealthy Stamford manufac- turer, from prosecuting his divorce suit in Nevada, started today in the superior court before Judge Gager. Attorney Thomas E. Cullinan, repre- senting Mrs. Wyckoff, said his client could not afford to go to Nevada to defend the action. Inasmuch as Mrs. Wyckoff's suit against her hus- band was pending in this state he thought the court should restrain Wyckoff from continuing the Nevada action.
 Attorney Cullinan declared Mrs. Wyckoff was on hand prepared to tes- tify regarding her financial condition. She would also tell about Wyckoff' 8 threat that he would go to Nevada and start proceedings there. Judge Cager said he did not care to hear Mrs Wyckoff Judge Carl Foster opposed the granting of the injunction on behalf of Wyckof. He said Wyck- off was bona fide resident of Nevada and had a legal right to bring action there. The court declared he would clIow the case to stand for week so that the motion could be put in differ ent form.

GOOSE RATTLE
 MAY RESULT IN
 ARREST OF TWO
Failing to Win, Subscriber Steals Fowl, and Owner
 Complains.

When subscriber 10 lottery fails being raffled to grace the Thankggiv- ing table of the winner-is he justi- fled in stealing said fowl, and is the person conducting the raffle acting discreetly, when he explains the cir cumstances to the ploice and obtains the arrest of the raider of his coop?
 These questions probably will be answered in the city court when James Forbes, of S59 East Broadway Stratford, and Patrick Flahaven, own CT of the Bronx hotel, are arrai igned; the former charged with stealing 8 live perfectly healthy goose and the latter accused of conducting lottery.
 Forbes, it appears, visited the Bronx hotel, conducted by Flahaven and his brother, the night before Thanksgiv ing. He bought a ticket Tor a ratfie for which three prizes were to be awarded; a goose, turkey and a chicken. Subscribers to the raffle had merely to walk into the back yard of the hotel, where they could view the fowl happily clucking in a coop.
 Forbes failed to win. He walked into the backyard, ripped the door of the coop. grasped the goose firmly by the, neck and went to a nearby saloon, where he decided to enter the railing business for himself, the police charge. He made some crude tickets sold them to the saloon habitues and cleaned up $3.50. which he imme- diately spent at the bar, according to the police. But the railing business was a prosperous one, so he returned to F1ahaven's coop to get the turkey and the chicken. but was seen and chased away by the hotel owner. the police allege.
 Then F'lahaven, whose raffle was badly muddled, as he had no goose to give the winner, swcre vengeance. He went to the police who listened to his story The auth critics would arrest Forbes. ''Sure they would,' but Lieut.. F. O. Cronan states. what right did Flahaven have to raffle a goose. It's violation of the law"
 Lieut. Cronan is an officer of the law. sworn to do his duty. He bears a dislike for thieves, and lottery op- orators are next in his category of wrongdoers. He dismissed com ment on the case by simply remark ing "It will be funny for F'lahaven as we'll as Forbes before the thing Is over." s.

ONE OF DEWEY CHILDREN WILL
 BE COMMIT TED
Judge Miller Finds Environ ment Not Conducive to
 Welfare of Girl.

Today Judge Miller committed Louise. aged five years, child of Lee D. and Louise Dewey, 429 Connecti- other child, Raymond, aged two years IS at the Fresh Air home in Fairfield and the charities officials are endeav- oring to bring proceedings by which the little boy may be taken from the Custody of the parents. Much testi- mony of a sensational nature develop ed at the hearings in the case during the last two days.
 Judge Miller in his finding today said that there was no evidence that the child committed had been cruelty treated or was dependent in the sense that outside aid was needed for its support He found, however, shs was neglected in that she was living in an 4nvironment unfitted and un- suitable for clild. as alleged by Connecticut Humane Society off, cials.
 A clause in the finding in which Judge Miller says that the. solicitude and affection displayed by the parents for their children and seldom met with in a case of such character makes it doubly hard for him to make the commitment, but in view of the evil dence he is left no other alternative. This clause, undoubtedly, will aid the parents in procuring custody of the child should they remove to some other place. The parents are now preparing to bring action to get cus- tod of the little boy.

writs OF error were yesterday re-

D. c. Lampkin and w. w. Bird
against J. T. Skeen, on appeal from
the decree Of the Circuit Court of
Russell County in favor of the de-
PENDANT. The action grew out of the
execution OF a contract between the
parties which gave Skeen possession

ing 1t of timber. The petitioners
claim he has not carried out his con-
tract, and want possession Of the
property.
