Wafer of the court of common pleas at New Lon don on Monday to compel Amos E Chapel and Amy Chapel of Waterford tc remove 8 fence obstructing the right of way to the Jewish cemetery in Waterford. The action is brought by a committee of Baron Hirsch lodge, consisting oe Sidney Sulman, Louis Lubchan$ky and Jacob Lub- cilansky.

 It is alleged fiat on Sept. E. 1918, the defendants built a high fence across the right of way and are main
 tatuing it and obstructing the ap- proach, so that it is impossible to en- ter the cemetery to bury deceased members of the lodge.
 The lodge asks that the defendants be compelled to remove the fence and wants s10o0 damages. Judge Charles F. Waller has set Thursday. Oct. 24, as the date for the hearing.

POSTPONE LAUNCHING OF
 GROTON STEEL STEAMER

The launching of the steel steamer Pollard at the yards Of the Grcton Iron Works has again been postponed, due to the falling of a big electric crane four weeks ago that disarran get the schedule of work.
 As matter of fact the ship can be launched at any time now, but it is a much more expensive proposition to place the boilers and machinery in the boat after she is in the water than when on the ways, and while some shipbuiiding concerns have made unusually fast time in getting boats into the water, some of them have not been as nearly completed at the time they were launched as is the Tol- lard at the present time while on dry land. It is the delivery of the com p.eted ship that counts, r1ore than the mere putting of hull into the water.
 Edwin A. Morse. president of the Groton Iron Works. stated Monday af- ternoon that the launching has been postponed for two weeks, and it is noW set for Saturday. Nov. 3, at 1.3o O. clock ?. m.
