CHURCHMEN IN
 OPPOSITION TO
 CARES CABARET
Trinity Church Society Ob- jects to Renewal of
 Liquor License.

Annoyed by the sounds of revelry from Tom Carr's cabaret the mem-
 bers of Trinity Episcopal church have filed remonstrance against the granting of a renewal of Carr's liquor license. The remonstrance was filed
 this morning with the county com
 missioners. The petition was signed on behalf of the church society by Wallace A. Smith. It states that Carr's location at Cannon and Broad streets is unsuitable for a license be- cause of the proximity of the church. .. Two years ago the church remon- strated against Carr but at that time compromise was reached and the remonstrance was withdrawn after Carr had agreed to close the Broad street entrance to his cafe.
 The remonstrants claim that the law clearly states the commissioners shall not grant license when the proposed location adjoins a church, f there is objection. Under the con- dftions of this case, they assert, there is nothing for the commissioners to
 do but to deny the license, unless some
 agreement is reached with the church
 members. ].
 A remonstrance was also filed today
 against Col. T. J. Murphy, who
 sought to renew his license at 31 Un-
 ion Square. After he sold his Main street building Murphy transferred
 his license to the Union square loca- tion. He never conducted a saloon there, however, John F. Murphy,
 owner of the premises, filed the re-
 monstrance. He says the location is
 unsuitable.

FINDS HER CHILD AFTER SEARCHING FOR MANY YEARS Hartford Woman Locates Daughter Taken from Her
 12 Years Ago. GETS COURT ORDER
 FOR GIRLS RETURN New Haven Couple Who Cared for Her Claim
 Adoption.

Hartford, Dec. After a search of 12 years, through Philadelphia, the mountains of Pennsylvania, Chi cago and portions of Connecticut, Mrs. Florence Padmore of this city has found her daughter, Dorothy, now High school girl in New Haven. At a special session of the superior court in this city today, Judge Jo- seph F. Futile ordered a writ of ha- beas corpus issued directing Eli J.. Brickley and Hattie Brickley, hus- band and wife of 1887 State street, New Haven, to produce Dorothy Pad more at the superior court in Hart ford Tuesday, Dec. 5, at ,10:30 a. m., and show causew hy the, custody of the girl should not be turned over to the mother.
 The petition for the writ was pre- scented to Judge Futile by Benedict M. Holden, Mrs. Padmores attorney, and the papers were given to Deputy Sheriff Peter McNerney of New Ha- ven, to serve
 Mrs Padmore said today she had not seen Dorothy since she was spirited away from her in Philadelphia a dozen years ago, but she feels certain that her long search will be reward ed by the return of her daughter, though the girl, who is 15 years old. does not know her real mother and has probably formed an affection for the Brickleys whose names she uses.
 The facts obtained from Mrs. Pad more are:
 Dorothy was born in Pittsburgh, Dec. 4, 1901, a daughter of Charles G. and Florence ,Padmore. In 1903 the Padmores lived in Philadelphia. where MT. Padmore was ,retoucher for a photographic concern. Mrs. Padmore went on a. visit to her mother who was ill and because she did not return. at once, MT. Padmore wrote her she need not return at all, and he sold out the household fur nishings. Mrs. Padmore went sbnck with her husband. She worked in a department store for SC week and supported herself and Dorothy
 Through a. friend she learned of MT. Brickley, who was an expressman in Philadelphia and also conducted 8 milk station in his office. The Brick l0yS na0 no Cn1lQren ana LOOK lIItlo Dorothy to board, Mrs. Padmore pay ing $50 a week for her for a time. Finally when her funds got very low the Brickleys said she need not mind aout the payments. Mrs. Padmore visited her baby every night, but one night twelve years ago, when she went to the house she found the Brickleys had moved and she could get no trace of them.
 The anxious mother took every of locating, her daughter: She appealed to the police, to detective agencies and to a Philadelphia news paper which published her story. About two years afterwards she re- ceived indirect word from the Brick leys that they claimed Dorothy under an agreement signed in 1903 by Mrs. Padmore consenting to adoption.
 Mrs. Padmore said today, she never signed an agreement of adoption, but did sign paper that she would be responsible for the child and would see that it's father left it alone. It is learned that petition for adoption was led in Pennsylvania but was de- nied because it did not bear the pa- rents signature.

 HILL ST. PLOTS
Modern Office Building to be Erected in Place of Three
 Structures.

Three important purchases in Col den Hill street, announced by Zim- mer Brothers, for the purpose of erecting a large office building near Main street, awoke the realty dealers of Bridgeport this morning after their Thanksgiving holiday.

Louis J Bangor. The Fox Wall Paper Go. and Mary E. Clancy. With the addition al piece of property now occupied by Trimmer Brothers as a real estate of flee and by Tracy B. Warren and M A. Kenny, real estate and insurance agents, the new office building would have a frontage of 150 feet on Golden Hill street with a depth towards Elm street of between 53 and 70 feet from east to west.
 MT. Samuel Zimmer confirming the reported purchase this morning, said "Zimmer Brothers have purchased the three buildings east of the present office occupied by them upon option As soon as title is searched and deeds have passed, we propose to erect a modern office building on the site of the four buildings. We believe that with modern stores on the ground floor and offices above te the extent of eight or ten stories the investment will be a profitable enc as the central location of the site is most desirable for lawyers, business men and oth- ers''
