Rich Father Can't
 Take Son Out of
 State, Says Court

The alleged plan by wealthy Ed ward H. O'Flyn of Stamford to take his minor son out of the state was foiled by a decision handed down to- day by Judge Curtis of the Superior court who decided that the boy, Ed ward M. O'F'lyn, should remain in the custody of the mother, Florence Knapp O'Flyn during the summer
 Counsel for the father claimed the boy had been i'll and unable there- fore to maintain standing in his stud ies at a Stamford preparatory school For that reason the father wished to have custody of the boy in order that he might provide a tutor to instruct young O'Flyn- Judge Curtis said the father might send the tutor to the mothers home and she Is ordered to let the tutor see the child two hours daily.
 The O'F1yns were married in 1907 and were divorced last March. Their marital affairs proved very stormy. The husband was finally given de- cree on the ground of inf1delity. O'F'1yn was ordered to pay S100 week alimony for the support of the child.

NO HIT WITH
 MAYOR WILSON
Not Pleased Over Whitaker Project to Charge Grim inal Conspiracy in Ice
 Case.

The plan of City Attorney Sheri- dan T. Whitaker of New Haven to in stttute criminal prosecution against those concerned, if the investigation into the ice situation in that city shows there has been a combination or conspiracy as defined in the Con necticut statutes, did not seem to ap- peal very strongly to Mayor Clifford B. Wilson when he was questioned on the subject today.
 The mayor was shown an article in another paper in which MT. Whit aker Is quoted as saying he wolud take steps to hold certain men criIninally responsible. The mayor after read ing the article said: 'I have nothing to say. I have not heard of this un- intention or would consider such pro- ceedings in Bridgeport, the mayor egnin replied q have no comment to make"
 Meanwhile the people of Bridge port, somewhat treasured that they will finally get 50 cent ice, are wait ing for the dawn of Monday, to see if the promises become a. reality.
 Mystery still surrounds the details of the agreement by which the may or was able to induce Harry Walker and Earl D. Sprague to reduce the price. Neither fine mayor nor Mir. Sprague seemed inclined to furnish the missing links
