AUCTION SALES FIRM
DEFENDANT in SUIT
UNDER VENDORS ACT

Notice of a suit which is believed
to be the first litigation in the state
to be brought under the act concern
ing itinerant vendors have been filed
with Attorney General George E. Hin
man and State Treasurer Frederick
S. Chamberlain. The action is brought
by J. j. Fyfe of New York against
Weldman & Krause also of New York.
The defendants were doing business
some time ago in Stamford under the
name of the Stamford Auction Sales
room. After brief stay they left
the city and opened a place in Bridge
port under the name of the Bridge
port Auction Sales. The suit is
brought to protect the creditors.
Under this act, itinerant vendors
are required to file bond of $500
conditioning them to continue bust
ness in place for at least one year.
The act also provides that the action
may be continued. That part of the
act relating to continuance, passed in
1908, follows:
''In case any person prosecuted for
doing business in violation Of any of
the provisions Of the sections of the
general statutes relating to itinerant
vendors shall claim or testify upon
his trial that he has commenced such
business with a bona fide intent to
conduct the same as a permanent
business in the place where he has
commenced the same. the court be-
fore which such action is prosecuted
may, in it's discretion, continue such
action from time to, time, not exceed
ing in the whole one year, taking a
sufficient bond from the accused in
a sum not exceeding $500, conditioned
for the appearance of the accused at
the trial of such action so continued
and, at the continued trial of said ac-
ton, evidence may be introduced Of
any act, fact admission or circum-
stances arising since the institution Of
such action and affecting such claim
or testimony of the intent of the &C
cused."

BETTER RURAL
SCHOOLS ASKED
BY THE GRANGE
State Master, In Annual Report.
Says Facilities Should
Be Improved.

Norwich, Jan. 9.-The influence of
the grange in every department of
life was emphasized by the state mas
ter, Charles T. Davis, Of Middletown,
in his annual address to the grange
which began it's session here today.
Making this reference his keynote,
State Master Davis said that the
grangej is measuring up to the en-
HANGED responsibilities, that more and
better work is being done and broader
fields are being entered upon.
The past year has been one of large
results, the state master said, and
conditions are the best evidence that
can be produced to show that coop
Grafton is as essential to farming as
to any other business. The gran2l
has been asked to join hands with
the allied temperance forces in the
movement to amend tho state consti-
tuition to prohibit liquor traffic; it was
asked by the state chamber Of COM
merce to assist in regulation and
equalization of taxes; to assist tn
forming an international peace body,
and by the state commission on tax
alton to assist in codiflcation Of tax
laws.
The executive and legislative COM
mittees lent their efforts the past year
in securing shipment of milk by So
called open car system instead of the
leased car system, with a result which
was, a victory for the producers.
Master DaFis spoke of the, loyalty
of rural America to the best Amer1-
can traditions and believing that the
honor of America should be MAIN
tanned at home and abroad he rec
commended that a suitable resolution
be adopted setting forth the position
Of the grange towards the organiza-
ton Of worlds court for promotion
of a lasting peace.
Mr.. Davis also referred to the need
OF better rural schools and said that
the grange should encourage the sort
Of education which develops a better
manhood and womanhood throughout
the land and in the order. He asked
each member to put more thought,
more work, more constructive criti-
cism into the work of the degrees and
SO lift the work to the high plane 1t
deserves

is to this Samian, also, that we are

the Spheres for as a corollary to his
theory of the solar system, which, by
the way, antedated Copernicus by 1000

spheres, by their swift motion through
space produced musical notes which
were too beautiful to be heard by call
