SONG COMPOSER AND DR. JONES
 MARRY IN N. '. Dentist Takes Anita Owen for Bride After Brief
 Courtship. MET HEIR THURSDAY, MARRIED ON MONDAY "Little Church Around the Corner" Scene of Cou-
 ple's Nuptials.

Nile met her at a New York soiree on Thursday, ardently wooed on Fri day; proposed to her on Saturday, was accepted on Sunday and welded on Monday.
 Such is the history of the rapid fire romance of Dr. A. G. Jonesl who has his dental offices at 925 Main street and interests in other dental parlors in Bridgeport and New. England.
 The friends of Dr. Jones were startled to-day when they received the news of his sudden marriage at the Little Church Around the Corner, in New York, last Monday, to Miss Anil ta Owen of that city, who has at tained prominence as a writer of pop ular song hits.
 Dr. Jones, who is more or less ac- tive in local social circles, took a busI- ness trip to New York last Thursday. That evening he attendedTa a fashion able soiree, and was, introduced to Miss Owen, composer of Daisies Won't Tell" Dreamy Eyes," and other musical hits.
 She is a fascinating brunette, with blue eyes, and highly educated. Jones fell desperately in love with her. He invited her to come to Bridgeport the next day and. attend the ball of the Criterion club, at The Stratfeld, which took place last Friday evening.
 At the dance speculation was rife as to who the pretty partner of Dr. Jones was and inquiring eyes noted the devoted attention he paid her. Saturday Dr. Jones left his business here and hurried to New York city to see Miss Owen. With the impetu- osity of a Lochinvar he laid siege to the girls heart. Saturday he pro- posed and was accepted, Sunday. Monday the pair obtained a marriage license and hurried quietly to the Little Church Around the Corner where they were married.
 Dr. Jones with his bride returned to Bridgeport yesterday and he re- stunned his professional duties this morning. The bride is a New York girl and for several years has been writing and publishing songs. It is reported the couple will make their home at the present address of Dr. Jones, 2O3 Golden Hill street
 Dr. Jones was born in New Hamp- shire and recently came into public notice as a promoter of dental par 1ors. The county health officer brought legal action to prevent him from practicing dentistry claiming he was not licensed practitioner. He later became promoter and his suc- cess in this line was immediate. He sold the dental par1or wherc he is now located to Dr. J. Nelson Sher- wood, for $20,000 in 1915. He later regained possession of business and is now associated with Dr. J. Henry Pagan.

ULLMAN. AND HIS HENCHMEN GIVEN HOT LAMbASTlNC Senator O'Sullivan Climbs Aboard New Haven Boss
 In Judgeship Row. SAYS FOLLY SMILE"
 RULES COMMITTEE Merit and Worth Thrown Aside to Meet Wishes of
 Boss, He Declares.
Especial to The Farmer)

Hartford, Feb. 21.-Col. Isaac Ull- man and other supporters of the Hoyt- Caplan slate for the New Haven city court came in for verbal iambasting at the hands of Senator Patrick B. O'Sullivan, minority leader. when the Senate today took up the Judiciary committees report recommending the appointment of Hoyt and Caplan. yThe system which brought forth the re- port, too, was unsparingly handled by MT. OSullivan.
 After Senator Klett, chairman ot the judiciary committee, explained that the committee unanimously endorsed the report which would turn down John R. Booth, the present incum- bent, the fireworks started. MT. Klett admitted the committee was divided at first and refused to give the result of the ballot He insisted that the final report, however, was unanimous.
 This report" said Senator O'Sul- livan, smelling vilely Of the rotten system that brings it forth, cannot gain the respect of those who believe that merit, worth and qualification count more than the smooth words and oily smile of some political jobber.
 "The trouble is that a man named Ullman, reputed political boss of the minority party of New Haven, and a crew of his political parasites, came here before this committee to favor this ticket. His henchmen! like toys, were wound up and made those speeches evidently prepared in >ad- vance by .Ullman.
 Their arguments before the com mittee could be summed up this way:
 "'Fellow Republicans, in the se- lection of judges for the New Haven city court, all thought of merit. worth and judicial qualifications must be set aside-for, otherwise, my two henchmen might not get by and Judge Booth would. |
 '"'What you must remember is that I am the boss andI don't like some body who does like Judge Booth. So he must walk the plank!'
 And, then, continued Senator O'Sullivan, "the argument runs along like this:

President to Ask Additional Power
 To Protect Ships

Washington, Feb. 21.-President Wilson virtually has decided to appear before congress prior to adjournment on March to ask for more authority to protect American ships and men from German submarine operations.
 While officials said there was a bare chance that he will not carry out the plan there was. every indication that he would make his address either late this week CT early next week.
 The Presidents position, as outlined authoritatively today, is that congress before adjourning should pass broad resolution giving him additional au- thority. Authorities generally expect, ed that sooner or later arms will be furnished to- American ships.
 Tn spite of the statement of the British government that g. very small percentage of vessels going to and from the war zone weres unk by Ger man submarines, officials pointed out today that most American vessels in the transatlantic trade were still held up.
 It was emphasized today that when the President appears before con- gross he will not do so with the pur- pose of asking for a declaration ot war. While it is realized that the pacificist element in congress has some strength, the president is known to believe that the situation is such that when action is needed there will be little division
 The President has decided not to call an extra session of congress un- less there should be an unusual emer- gency, and it was generally accepted today that he, will not call the sen ate in special session after March 5. While reticence on the Austrian situs = ton was observed today, it is under stood that the administration believes the negotiations so far have been un- satisfactory.
 Ultimately a break is expected un- less Austria changes its position.
 Sinking by gunfire from a German submarine of the Norwegian steamer Dalbeattie, on board of which were the state department to the list or Germany's illegal acts which are slowly accommodating and testing the patience of the government.
 Consul Frost reported from Queens town that after the ship was sunk last Saturday the men were rescued. but their lives were endangered by shell fire before the crew had botten away in boats, and by drifting about at sea for nearly IS hours.
 After the cabinet meeting late yes terday there was no indication that President Wilson had made known what his next step will be or when it will be taken. At the state depart ment it was said the situation re- mained as serious as 1t could be wifh- out war.

 to Change Judgment.

Joseph Savatello,H of 3S5 Main street labors under the misapprehension that a man is at liberty to beat his wife any time he chooses and resents being given g. suspended small jail sentence for his action. Hence when Judge Frank Wilder in the city court this morning gave him a 10 days suspend ed jail sentence Savatello resented the courts finding and appealed.
 The court promptly set the bonds at $500 and revoked the first sentence, giving the defendant three months in jail, something worth appealing. Sav- atel1o became angry when he found his wife had gone on shopping tour and he beat her on the head with a broom stick when she returned.
