S0LL0WAY HELD ON CHARGE OF
 CHECK FORGERY
Real Estate Dealer Again Involved With Police Be-
 cause of Activities.

Maurice Solloway, of 25i Rosedale street, real estate operator, whose checkered career the last five years has attracted widespread attention, was dragged from his bed early this morning, by state policemen and talk en to New Haven to answer charge of forging a note, which was pay able at J. M. Staples & Co., in this city, for s35O.
 Solloway recently purchased the Golden Hill Hotel, Harrison street, for s30,oOO and his activities in the real estate business in this city have been quite extensive. It is alleged that the first part of this week, while in New Haven, he forged the endorse ment of a prominent New Haven busi- ness man to a note for $350.
 The note was rendered at the Staples bank in this city for payment, when the supposed endorser repudfat- ed his signature and told the state police, who were called into the case, that he never signed the note. The state police obtained warrant for Solloway's arrest and early this morn ing went to his home.
 They broke into his room forced him to dress and took him to New Haven for trial. The case was con- tinued and he was released in bonds of $1, 900. Solloway denounced the state officers and insistently proclaim ed his innocence of any wrong doing.
 The defendant first became known as a result of his arrest while a member ot the firm of Solloway & Katz. wholesale grocery dealers in New Haven, on a charge of arson, it being alleged that he set fire to the storagehouse owned by the firm in Waterbury. State policemen went to his home January II, 1913, forced him into cab intending to take him to Waterbury to answer the arson charge.
 He resisted their efforts to arrest him and in a free-for-al fight which ensued le was so severely injured that he had to be taken to St. Vim cents hospital. He created a sensa- ton by charging that the police at tempted to force a confession of in- cendiarisn1 from his lips as he was recovering from the effects of ether at the institution.
 which found it's way into the federal courts produced much litigation and Solloway was indicted by the federal grand jury in connection with the case. Tn February. 1915, he appear ed as the correspondent in a suit for divorce brought by Samuel Hornstein of Bridgeport, against Rose Hornstein of New York.

 been quietly progressing with the re- suit that nearly every large yacht to include his boat in the fleet. All that remains for the naval officers now coming to Bridgeport to do is to inspect the craft, enroll the recruits necessary to man the boats, inspect the health and physical qualifications of the men and assign and drill them In the work. Blanks of application are even now being printed and forms 'M health certificates are awaited from the Brooklyn navy yard. Naval sur geons are expected in this city dur ing the first part of next week.
 The Naval Reserve Coast Defense Squadron is what in naval parlance Is known as the fourth line of de- fense. The duties will be subna- rine chasing, coast patrol duty, mine field patrol duty and scout duty. It will supplement the large scout cruiser which will be kept at base, probably Bridgeport, as well as Newport and New York for immediate use upon wireless call by the mosquito fleet.
 : Recruits from this section will be. taken from among the oystermen, yachtsmen and from all classes of men capable of remaining out upon the sea for long periods of time in small boats There twill be need aboard for navigators. machinists signalmen, quar1ermasters, etc.
 The coast defense will be divided into three divisions, probably from Maine to Boston, from Boston to New port and from Newport to Bafnegat Bay, N. J. The third division in which Bridgeport lis located will have it's first base at New York city under command of the Brooklyn Navy yard. The divisions will be in squadrons of 12#boats under command of a lieu tenant and these squadrons in units of six boats under Junior lieutenant.
 With Bridgeport as sub-base, it is likely that unless headquarters are changed from the federal building that structure will soon have high powered wireless instruments install ed which will be in communication with the Brooklyn navy yard and will in turn transmit message to the wire less apparatus that will be installed on the flagship of each unit.
 Though 10th to discuss the details of the Naval Reserve Coast Defense Squadron here, Lieut.. Merritt said that the formation had long been un- der way and that it was practically complete with the exception of re- cruiting 1000 men who will be taken from Fairfield county, ranging from Milford to Greenwich. The govern ment officials are highly pleased with the efficiency shown by the state of- fcers and committee who have en- gineered the forpation of the division here.

Start Tomorrow
 and Keep It Up
 Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinkInc a glass of hot water before
 breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make cur stay agreeable. Let us live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, and look we'll What a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in- Ivigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid ap- petite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who arc bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders anC sickly complexions are urged to get g quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on htt subject of inside bathing before break fast.

Prohibition scored rapidly in the closing hours of last week. The sen ate passed "bone dry" bill for Alas ka, and the house promptly gave its sanction to the measure; Oregon's "dry" law went into full effect; the Indiana senate passed statewide prohibition bill that had already pass ed the house, but with an amendment that is yet to be acted upon, and the governor of Tennessee signed the bill which puts an end to the shipment of liquor into that state. Distillers, brewers and saloon keepers would be consulting their own interests, 1t would seem, by keeping a sharp look out for legitimate business opportunt- ties.

Marie DOrO in
 6he Lash'
"The Lash" is a Thrilling Story Produced by Lasky and Will be Shown Monday.

Centuries ago, the little isolated island of St. Ba'tiste was colonized by few peasants from Brittany, and since, while all the world has been progressing this little island has stood still, tranquilly content and following infinitely the footsteps of the past. The way girl, transplanted from here to the world of society, finds it's life complicated affair at best, and tries blindly to remedy it by the crude means utilized in her childhood at St Ba'tiste, are all part of the story of the Paramount picture, "The Lash, produced by Lasky, in which Marie Doro is starring.
 Miss Doro plays the part of "Si- donie," daughter of the prefect of the : little settlement. When Pierre Broule her fisherman admirer, makes love to her, she turns cold shoulder and it remains for Warren Harding, a wealthy Englishman to awake the real love in her heart.
 Henriette, a woman who has re- ceived the usual punishment meted out to women who transgress the laws of the island, that is a public flashing at the hands of the prefect, in mad jealousy and revengefulness tries to turn public opinion against her en- emy's daughter, Sidonie.
 She succeeds so we'll that Sidonie is sentenced to be whipped but happily for her, she elopes with her English man the night before and is received cordially by the set he moves in.
 All goes we'll until Sidonie discovers her husband making love to another woman, although she does not know that he has been compelled to do it Furious, Sidonie strenuously applies the cure used in her native village, the lash, afterwards flying back to her father for refuge.
 Not being able to produce a hus- band, she is again accused of trans gressing the laws and is just about to receive the usual punishment when her husband appears in person to stay the hand of her prosecutors.
 Miss Doro is ably supported in this quaintest of photoplays by a cast in- cluding Elliott Dexter. James Neill, Veda McEvers and others.

SERVANTS SET
 HOUSE AFIRE AT NIGHT

Many houses are set afre, usually at night, by trusted household ser wants in the form of electrical irons, coasters, plate warmers, curling irons and similar contrivances which are coming more and more into common use, says a circular just issued by the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau, of Little Rock. The only absolute safety that lies in the use of such things is to make it an invariable rule to discon- meet them from the source of electric supply when they are left unattended, even if one is going but to answer the door bell There is always a chance that one may not return as soon as intended and he who realizes that even good memory is often treach- erous saves himself much trouble If you leave an electric iron with current on and unattended the chances are you won't remember it until you smell smoke and that, says the bulletin. may be too late. It is further pointed out that many fires of this nature happen at night hours after the ap- plianee has been left.

FOOD, FEED AND FERTILITY


 soa and fertility are the foundation sofe farming, according to the vI.;tod States Department of Agri- ,,lture A circular sent-to farmers, tankers. and business men in cotton .srr;tory by the chief of the office of axtension work in the South says; Tot us feed the people, feed the live .+ock and feed the soil. When we sovo done these three things, then no;se such acreage in money crops as wo have the labor to tend.
 The circular points out that the 4.uo value of cotton to the farmer IS +o great extent hte amount of food and feed that it will purchase. The a,;oo of cotton has risen, it is true, b,t so has the retail price of all other forn produce. By growing all cot ion says the author, "and exchang- ;ne it for living you are simply swanping high-priced product pro- duced by your labor for high-priced product produced by the labor of the otber fellow. When you follow safe farming, however, you produce your own food and feed at cost and sell vour cotton for the other fellows dol lars
 Safe farming is defined in the cir cular as including these items:
 a) A home garden for every fam jly on the farm. from one-tenth to one-fourth acre, well located, we'll tiled. and tended as carefully as any other crop on the farm, planted in rotation to time the vegetable crops so as to have a continual supply for the family table as many days in the year as possible. To this should be added one-fourth of an acre of pota- toes, either Irish or sweet, or both, to be used as food for the family.
 @ Enough corn on each farm to last the family and the live stock for one year, with a little excess for safety.
 (3) Sufficient oats and other small grain to supplement the corn as food for one year with certainty. These small grains conserve the soil in win ter and provide summer grazing for live stock.
 (4) Hay and forage crops to sup ply the live stock on the farm for one year, with a little excess for safety. The legumes, which add fertility to the soil and produce the best hay, should not be forgotten.
 (5) The necessary meat, eggs, and milk for the family The meat should be procured by increased attention to poultry and hogs because of the rapid lty with which these can be produced. Every family should have at least two cows, so that one can be in milk al! the time. A sufficient number of brood sows should be kept to produce the pork for the family, with some excess for sale. The average number of poultry per farm should be gradu- ally Increased to at least 30. There should be eggs and poultry for the nome table, with a sufficient excess Tor sale. The live stock on the farm should be gradually increased so as 10 consume the otherwise wasted pro- uucts and make productive the unpro- uuctlve and untillable lands.
