LITERATURE AND ART
 ... Conducted by LEW HEAD -.

GODS MAN" is not a new book but it has had Q mighty hard time -et- ting into the hands of readers. Prac- tically speaking, it is George Bronson Towards maiden effort. The son of an eminent dramatist. young Howard, lor he is still a young man, inherited rom his talented batter a keen instinct for action; where his bent toward fsordid realism originated is probably better known to those who know How ard personally, than to the ~eneral reading public. My opinion is that Coward, who is a lover of the bright lights, intimately acquainted with the ''ins and outs of New York, and general good fellow, just naturally picked these things up" in his rounds. His last book, Birds of Prey" being pages from the book of Broadway" as he states, is good and sufficient evi- dence of the latter theory.
 Gods Man" is a revelation of the opium smuggling days, just following the action of con"ress placing the eter- nal ban upon this drug. The 'heavv" character, one Waldemar, is pictured as member O. congress, with inside info on the passage of the law; who buys futures in opium; retails t through an alleged industrial organiza- ton: grows immensely wealthy; and lis killed during raid on @ ship load of opium about to be landed on the New York coast. On Waldemar hangs the tragedy of the book itself. A New York politician. whose name l omit believing himself to have been mal- igned by Towards description, insti- tuted libel proceedings against the young author. These included an in junction against the distribution or sale of the book pending the hearing. Following the trial, young Howard was living in Los Angeles, where he re- ceived the information that Judgment had been rendered against him in the sum of many, many thousands of dol lars; more than the author had made or stood any possible chance of mak- ing out of the story.
 But the restriction against distribu- ton was lifted from book dealers and libraries all over the United States, and now we are permitted 10 read it at liberty
 Gods Man" is intensely interesting If carries the reader through the vary ing moral eras of the life of Arnold LHommedieu, from whose name in

terpreted we have the title of the book. Arnold is just boy; just New York boy. His ancestry, that is the fine quality of blood in his veins, is all that prevents him from succumbing, entirely, to the environment of evil women, blase men, convicts, crooks and gentlemanly law breakers. At the end, though, just when we all expect our hero to come out with laurel wreaths upon his brow, he confesses himself into the peniten- tiary Maybe that's one reason why Gods Man" hasn't become a "best seller but frankly, it's also one req son why I like it. L'Hommedieu. in my judgment, makes better denoue- ment to the story by. the very grim ness of what he does, rather than by ending it all as such silly triflers as Robert Chambers would have had him do.
 "WlLD APPLES" is one of that sort of books that is not quite li~ht enough to be diversifying, and not brilliant enough to be anything else. It is en- tertaining. After reading it, one can- not help wonder whether the author did not start out with a plot that he afterWard abandoned for a lesser one.

"THE MAN NOBODY KNEwv is

d JUS QtNQtlOu, Dy IIietuOi AlhlllSOa, strikes a responsive chord.
 THE MAN NOBODY KNEW" is another worthwhile and absorbing novel. that has come recently from the pen of Holworthy Hall It is reminis- cent of ''Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde,' pre- senting new idea in modern fiction, very ably handled.
 The story deals with Dicky Morgan, who joins the French army after being virtually ,ostracized from his home city in New York, and whose face has to be remade by surgeons when he is severely wounded. In his disgust, Nor gan tells the surgeons to make him look like Christ, and the result alters him beyond recognition.
 Returning to America, Morgan as- sumes the name of Hilliard and agrees to sell mining stock for a fake pro- motor named Harmon. He takes his former home for his field, and estab- fishes himself with his former &C., quaintances, by delivering to them a dying" message from Morgan.

NORWICH TOWN

Many are complaining about a worm that is spelling the bean crop and much anxiety is expressed in re- gard to the situation as pole beans are affected, as well as bush beans: It is a brown moth which lays the egg, and when matched the worm de- velopes to about an inch in length and is green, much like a cabbage worm. This pest eats the blossoms, leaves and vines. which stops the growth of the beans. The vines when killed turn yellow, and the leaves full of perforations look as though they had been shot at. Thus far within the past week, reports of this kind have come from residents on Wauwecush i'll, Town street and Tfading Cove. People who were fortunate- in having early beans escaped this trouble but the late beans are suffering in a marked degree.

WALSH WARNS MERCHANTS
 AGAINST FAKE COLLECTOR

Collector James J. Walsh. of the h. ternal Revenue has been advised by Commissioner Daniel .. Roper, that one Earl smith. alias R. C. Hughes, has been posing as deputy collector in the Tennesse district and fratidu- iently collecting special taxes on jew elry. soda and other taxes that might be due by merchants operating a general country store. The principal collections rlfade by him appear to have been made on jewelry and he has heen furnishing receipts on "Areo Safety" forms.
 Smith, alias Hughes, has probably at some time been in the revenue service or else in close touch with rev enue officials, judging from the sue cess of his game.
 He is a man feet. 10 inches in height, rather sienderly built and be- tween the ages of e5, apd 30 years. His hair is sandy or brown and his teeth. irregular in length, are irregulerly set in his mouth. At one time he wore light grey suit and a panama hat and on another occasion wore a blue suit. It is his custom during his vis- it's to merchants to display a metal badge and in his conversation refer to raids carried on in Kentucky by him and others.
 It is quite pdssibls that this man may work his way into this district and for this reason Collector' Walsh warns all merchants. especially coun- try towns. to be on the lookout for him. Should he turn up, they are re- duested to notify the police and the revenue office at once.
 lector carries his commission with the collectors seal on it. with him. and it is. the privilege of the merchant to ask him to see it.

PLAINTIFFS GIVEN S23, 100 JUDGMENT

Judgment or s2s.1oo in favor of the
 plaintiffs is directed by Judge Case in a memorandum of decision filed in
 the office of the superior court in this city on Wednesday in the case of Elias Frank Morgan. ct. al. Of New London vs. Savings Bank of New London. The ease was a controversy over the ownership of certain secar- ities and the plaintiffs had asked damages of S56 900 in addition to the return of the disputed securities.
 In his memorandum or decision Judge Case says:
 The defendant lays some stress ap- pArently, upon the facts that Fi- cardo practically nanaxed the Iron until the sale of the property, that his mother looked largely, if not en- tirely to that business for her sup port during the period and that ina-
 mediate upon the sale Of the prop erty Curtis was given nianaeement and control of the fund resulting from the sale.
 The inference suggested by the de- fendant is that Curtis was, as a mat ter of fact. taken in under some fam fly arrang cement to CO., operate with Ricardo in supporting their mother and that absolute discretion was therefore given them both as to how the fund should be handled to that end.
 The sale Of 1906 was not only of the Iron Works, a corporateN concern, but of tho land upon which the plant stood, which land belonged to the cid CT Morgan and for the use Of which the company paid rent to him, and later to his estate. Two separate funds came from this sale. one went to Ricardo to settle up the. eorporas tons bills; the other amounting to $So, ,0eo. which had nothing whatever to do with the corporation but was the net price received for the Morgan land, went to the Morgan estate. It was the substitution of this cash for the estates real property that made Mrs Morgan trusteeship as life ten ant something more than nominal and it was naturlay and quite to be ex- pected that she should ask fos. the ap- pointment of one of her sons either to share the. management Of the fund
