Landlord Must Pay $500
For Arresting Tenant
Verdict Resulting From Contro-
versy Over Halted Elevator
Is Sustained on Appeal

Because Alexander We'll, hosiery
commission merchant, was vehement in
insistencc on his right to be taken up
in the elevator of the apartment house
at Al Pinehurst Avenue to his apart
ment on the fifth floor, Nathan Harris,
owner of the house, who also lives
there, arrested him. The Appellate
Division yesterday decided that this
action of Harris should cost him $500.
Mr. We'll and his wife returned from
the theater late one night. The Gle
vator door on the ground floor was
open and there was note saying the
operator was out to luncheon and
would soon return. Mrs. We'll is suf-
ferer from heart trouble and her hus-
band did not want to subject her to
the climb of five floors. Mr. We'll
called up the apartment of Harris and
suggested that the landlord or one Of
his sons come down and operate the
elevator. Harris refused. Thereupon
Mr.. We'll went to the Harris apartment
and rang the door bell, repeating his
request when the landlord appeared.
"If don't get up to my apartment
to sleep III be damned if Met you
sleep" he said.
Harris telephoned for policeman,
who refused to make the arrest, telling
Harris to arrest We'll himself if he
wanted him locked up. This Harris
did. We'll sued Harris for false ar
rest. He obtained a verdict Of $500,
from which the landlord appealed The
Appellate Division yesterday sustained
the verdict

 BENEFIT MUSICAL

The women's Christian Temper ance Union held a most successful musicale at headquarters, 229 Gilbert street, last night, when a large num- Der of members and friends were present. The committee in charge, including Mrs. R. Lampman and Mrs. Rose Wright, are to be congratulated upon their fine efforts in securing the services of the West Trio and the Mayfiower Quartet, who rendered in teresting selections.
 As a great surprise to the mem bers came the announcement that Jerrie Holmes, the well known local humorist, was to be present at the entertainment. He was heartily greeted in a monologue, full of wit and fun.
 The West trio included Alfred West, cello; Miss Gwendo1yne West, violin; H. Church, cornet, and Miss Ethel Pigg, at the piano. In the Mayflower Quartet, Herman Berg, Arthur Wingren, Frank Frederick son and Imanue1 Ahlbeng, participat- ed and rendered several vocal selec- tions. A violin solo was given by Chester Hayden, accompanied by Miss Ahlberg and a bass solo was given by MT. Ahlberg.
 The proceeds from the entertain ment will be given to one of the To- cal organizations.

"Hearts of the World D. w. Grif- fith's supreme triumph, will be the attraction at the Park theater for eight days starting Sunday, May 25.
 This production comes to this city in the very height of it's remarka ble success and with the record of hav- ing far surpassed MT. Griffith S The Birth of a Nation" and "Intol- erance," both of which eSta blish ed this dramatic genius the greatest pro ducer of entertainments and specta- cles.
 Contrary to the general impress sion, "Hearts of the World" is not a war play, although MT. Griffith spent eighteen months on the battlefields of Europe securing war material em- ployed in the latter part of his story. The producer himself describes it as '@The story of village; an old-fash- toned play with new-fashioned theme. While the present conflict in Europe is shown in all it's magni- tude and reality, it serves only as the back ground for a very happy story of the lives of the very simple folk in a small village in France, where lovers dream under the music Of on easement windows and where the very air has stirred the

STAMFORD HAS
 GROWN GREATLY

Stratford's population has trebled in the last five years and is fast becom- ing an industrial center. The atmos- phere is eXhilarating and the sur roundings ideally built up with new and modern homes. An especially pleasing spot which is speedily be- coming the most popular tract of land in the state is Paradise Lawn. The reason for this can be easily account ed for when you consider the handi- ness of this site for the Bridgeport business man who plans on building his own home. Paradise Lawn is only a stones throw from all the new and gigantic industries recently locat- ed in Stratford and easily reached by either of the Stratford street car lines. It is located right on the nat ural line of growth and development for both Stratford and for Bridge port We can think of no p1easanter trip on Sunday than a visit to this property if you are interested in own ing your own home.

Herndon the busi- ness manager, with, Frank T. Kint- zing as associate. The quality of en- tertainment will be strongly sugges- tive of the typical French light en- tertainment, the spirit of which will be transplanted to the Rialto.
 Charles Compton has commission ed M. c. Connolly, newspaper man of New York, to write a musical comedy for vaudeville. MT. Compton is closing his engagement as leading man in "Oh Boy'' this week after years and years of work with that company.
