  non suited in the superior court Tues day, in his case against Hugh German of the town of Brooklyn. The case had not proceeded far when Attorney Harry E. Back, representing MT. Cor man, filed his motion for a non-suit and it was allowed by the court. Tine point made was that MT. Lewis had not recorded a conditional bill of sale within a reasonable length of time, it being established that he had carried the bill of sale about with him for several months without having it re- corded. The case grew out of the purchase, at an auction, of a COW by MT. German. It appeared that the COW in question had been sold by MT. Lewis to the man who was conduct ing the auction, on conditional bill of sale, and that when MT. German bought the animal MT. Lewis tried 70 repelvin her.
 Court adjourned until this morning at 10:3O.

 There are several reasons that will l contribute toward bringing out a | large attendance. but a chief one is the new law that requires children under I6 years of age who are at work during the day and who had not completed grammar school course through the eighth grade must attend evening school. Unless such children who are at work do not at tend the night school they will be re- quired to give up their work and at- + tend day schools until they have the eighth grade course It was also stated tuesday by a school official that t is likely that the com mercial course at he night school will l be dropped this year. although that matter has not been definitely de- cided as yet
