 Some months ago Mrs. Jacobs insu- tuted suit for divorce. charging her husband with into1erable cruelty, and Mrs. Jacobs asked that she be award ed custody of the child born of the marriage, and alimony. Jacobs filed an answer a cross bill, in which he fense committed at Neptune Park, Ocean beach, and he asked to be di- vorced from her under the cross bill
 The divorce action was referred to John W. Coogan. as a committee. He found that none of the claims made by Jacobs had been proved. He found that Mrs. Jacobs had proved her case, that she was entitled to divorce. ali mony of s40.000, and the custody of the child. A remonstrance was filed to the acceptance of the report. The attorney for Mrs. Jacobs filed a de- murrer to the remonStrance- Judge Haines sustained the demurrer, and then Judge Haines. at the request of Judge Futile. permitted an amend ed remonstrance. The amended re- monstrance is pending. no action hay ing been taken under it, and conse- quently the divorce action has not been finally disposed of.
 Mrs. Jacobs cause of action insti- tuted Saturday is based upon the mat ter contained in the husbands cross bill in the divorce suit. she contend ing there was no justification for her husband making those charges and that they were defamatory of her. If the plan of adjustment which was dis cussed yesterday is carried out. the decree of divorce will be entered for Mrs. Jacobs in accordance with the report of the committee and a set tlenent be made of tn other bill.

SETS ASIDE DEED TO
 GROTON LONG POINT AOtSE

Judge Frank D. Haines has filed a decision in the superior court for the plaintiff in the case of Egbert L. Hills or Manchester, this state, administra- tor of the estate of his wife, Mrs. Mary F. Hills, who for many years conduct ed a rooming house in Hartford against James H. Atkins of Hartford
 The effect of the decision is to set aside a deed by which Mrs. Hills on May 22. 1918. conveyed to Atkins a dwelling house and land in Prospect street, in the Groton Long Point sec tion of the town of Groom.
 MT. Hills and his wife lived apart for some years prior to the date of the conveyance to Atkins Before her death Mrs. Hills instituted suit to have the deed set aside and on the death of the wife Hills succeeded her as plaintiff and as administrator of her estate. There was no consideration for the deed. Atkins had roomed in Mrs. Hills house and on the witness stand he admitted he had had relations Of an adunerouS nature with the worn- an. The act of execution of the deed by Mrs. Hills was voluntary on her part, Judge Haines finds. However, it was not her intention or desire to turn the property over to Atkins at the time or to surrender title to him unreserv- edly. The statements the woman had made to her counsel showed this to be true the judge said. and he said there is at least a fair question as to cording of the deed. It was recorded by Atkins. who had it in his posses sion. The judge finds that Atkins ex- ercised considerable influence over the woman and but for this the judge says he believes the deed would never have been made by Mrs. Hills or al- lowed by her to get into his posses Sion The woman'S act in executing the deed. the judge finds. was not free and voluntary within the true intent 9 mi irv nf

co. WANTS TO .,
 ENCOURAGE TROLLEY RIDING

The Connecticut company will do nothing in it's attempt to increase it's revenue that will tend to keep people from riding on its cars, according to the statement forthcoming from the New Haven office of the trolley com pany. That some proposal looking sented for the approval of the public utilities commission was admitted but nothing could be learned as to the form such a proposal would take or when it would be presented.
 The officials of the company are of course, watching with keenest inter est the experiences of the Boston ele- vated, the public trustees in charge of which increased the fare to ten cents. Indignation meetings were started throughout the metropolitan district in which thousands pledged themselves to walk to work or to use some other means of transporta tion rather than the trolleys.
 we want to induce people to ride in our cars rather than antagonize them, said one trolley official. land our next move will be made with that idea in mind I do not look for the although Connecticut has about the lowest in New England. It is possible that the company will seek to increase it's revenue by re-zoning some of it's lines or by introducing some sort of mileage plan. Just at present we are watching the hearings in Washington Of the federal electric railway com mission which is considering the troll ley problem from a national point of view"
 The Connecticut company is now just about paying it's operating exDenses with six-cent fare this official said Travel by trolley on lines between New Haven and Bridgeport has been heavy recently and it was from income thus derived that the company was able a few days ago, to pay it's tax due to the city of Hartford May 1: The big problem that ccnfronts the company now. of course is it's back debts; about S15p.0o0 owed the state for taxes S2,750,000 due the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad which has advanced money for Dayn1ent on leas- cd lines: s1.35o. 900 due the United states Housing corporation which ad- vanced money for one-nan cars some heavy truck cars and for extension of tracks in Bridgeport; and possibly a total of S500.000 more owed various municipalities throughout the state
 Yes, the Connecticut trolley situa- tlon at present is just about where the legislature left it" this trolley official adm ftted. As to the gain from the use of the one-n1an cars in Hartford this ofhclal said the savings had been ma ter1al but no concrete statement as to the amount was forthcoming.

HOME MADE CIDER AND
 WINE RULED INTOXICATING

Apples now are on the bough, and grapes are on the vine, in the Land of Steady Habits. The apples may be plucked from the bough and the grapes from the vine when the har- vesting season comes, but the cider mill and the wine press will produce only weak and watery liquids under the law. says the New Haven Times Leader.
 The proprietors of orchards and vineyards are looking forward to the manufacture and sale of sweet cider, vinegar and grape juice5 but not to ap- plejack or wine. An act concerning splrituous and intoXica ting liquors, en- acted by the 1919 general assembly and approved on May 14. has defined fer mented cider and all wines made in state as ''spirituous and intoxicating" so that the manufacturers thereof may manufacture only at their peril.
 There vii be a lot of sweet cider made nevertheless. according to early season prognostications, partly be- cause the old New England taste for apple juice is expected to be rather increased than abated under prohibi- is expected to bring a good price in the market.
 The apple crop will not be big one, so far the state board of agricul- ture can say today. perhaps not great CT than One-half the normal crop, be- cause of too much wet weather during the bloSSoming season. WindfallS of small apples already have been large, larger than in number of years past in some sections of the state.
 Since cider can be made from all most any sort or size of apple-if the fruit be not too sweet-there is ex pected to be no dearth of apples for cider making. But it will not be a hilarious harvest. Statistics on the apple crop will be issued within few days by the state board of agriculture.

 This is the second bridge in the town that the selectmen have been called upon to replace in the present year, without knowing in advance of the town meeting that the work would have to be done. so that no appropria- ton for either of them has been made. However. Selectman Bailey expects to be able to do the work on both with out calling for any more money, as he figures on econorhizing in other ex- penditures and so saving enough money to do the bridge work. 3
 The other bridge was the one over the Yantic river at Pleasant street, Norwich Town. which collapsed dur ing the past winter.
