Steiger was the sheriff selected by Barnith Sachs, a real estate operator. to attach material belonging to the Park City Construction Co. in the suit he entered against the company for S6O,oOO because of their failure to fulfill the contract he had with them for building 20 houses on plot of ground owned by him in Stratford,
 Included was a Ford car, a large number of barrels of lime and other building materials whose total value amounted to nearly $4,Oo0. It is al legged in the complaint that after the attachment was made the company went into bankruptcy. which auto matically released the attachment.
 Demand was made on Steigler to return the material which he refused to dc. The complaint further states that the deputy sheriff not only ex- ceeded his legal duty, but that he aI- lowed this material to become dam aged while in his possession. Hence the suit which Is returnable to the September term of the superior court

DRAFT BOARDS MEET TO STUDY
 REGULATIONS
Gather at Noon at Univer- sity Club to Talk Over
 Next Registration.

At meeting of the chairmen of the various local draft boards in the city, held today at the University Club on Golden Hill street at 12:30, plans were formulated to handle the regis tratton of the men who will come un- der the new selective draft law calling for all males between the ages of IS and 45.
 Instructions regarding the enroll ment of the men to be designated in the new draft proclamation, procur- ing of registrars, and other details for handling of this work were today re- ceived by the local boards.
 It is estimated that fully one and one-third times as many more reg istrars, clerks, etc, will be required on this new enrolment. As hereto fore the various local boards will have immediate direction ond supervision over the registrations of the various voting precincts in their respective jurisdictions.
 When the Presidents proclamation will be issued, which will probably be early in September, the plans formu- lated at today's meeting of the local boards will provide for efficient handling of this new gigantic task.
