THOUGHT DEED
 ONLY MORTGAGE

Francis A. Williamson, aged 'S2 years, has brought an action to the June term of the Superior Court in which he asks the court to set aside a deed of property valued at s40,000, located in Norwalk. which he signed in the office of an attorney on May 2S, 1914. The plaintiff claims he be lieved the deed was only a mortgage for $35 which the defendant had ad- vanced to pay taxes on the property.
 The plaintiff also says that he never understood that he had deeded the property to the defendant until re- gently and that he has been in pos session of it since the deed was made until the present time. He claims that because of his advanced age and un- familiarity with legal terms he was not able to understand the purport of the paper which he signed and that he was not represented by counsel at the time nor was he told that it would be advisable for him to have a law yer to look after his interests.
 He also asks the court to order the defendant to reconvey the property to him.

PRESIDENT DESCHANEI
 IS MUCH IMPROVED

Paris, May 25-President Descha- nel who was injured yesterday morn ing by a fall from a train near Mon targds, spent a good night and his physicians issued bulletin this morn ing saying his condition was satjs- factory as possible, although rest was necessary
 The bulletin added that the presi- dent was suffering from superficial wounds in the face and left leg and general prostrations-"
 M Deschanel did not preside at to- days cabinet meeting, as was ex- pected, members of the ministry in sisting that he obey his physicians orders and rest
 Orders that rooms at the Chateau Ramboui1let be prepared to receive night by Premier Millerand and it is planned that the president will spend at least ten days there to recover from his accident The chateau has not been occupied since President Fall Heres was in office
 President Deschanel, according to the Echo De Paris. owes his life to the fact that the railroad strike brought about suspension of a Paris-bound train due to pass the spot where the president plunged from his car at almost the exact time of the incident
 President Deschane1 rose at ! o'clock this morning and ate hearty breakfast He declared he felt nc i'll effects from his adventure He in- sisted that he was sufficiently fit to preside at the cabinet session but the doctors and the cabinet ministers eventually succeeding in persuadins him not to attend the meeting.

Warn Sugar HOarders
 Of Lever Food Act

Hartford. May 25-Connecticut Fair Price Commissioner William F. whitmore has issued a warning to persons who hoard sugar that they are violating the law and will be call ed to account if discovered and he also warns persons who sell an ex- cess of the comm odity, that they are leaving themselves open to prosecu- tion- A local case came to the ar- tention of the commissioner last week, wherein a man secured a quantity of sugar to be distributed in 100 pound lots to members of the Central Co., operative Society and steps were inn rnediately taken to show the person who obtained the sugar that such practice was in violation of the Lever Act The result was that not more than twenty-five pounds will be dis tributed to each member of the so- ciety-
 The commissioner further said: Several large lots of sugar have within recent months, been brought into the city by persons not regularly engaged as dealers and disposed of in 100 pound lots or more 10 per son. One hundred pounds of sugar is approximately five or six months supply for a small family. In times of scarcity, it is manifestly not for the welfare of the general public that a comparatively few families should stock up for so long a period.
 "It has been held that a period of thirty days may he regarded as a reasonable time within the meaning of Section 6 of the Lever Act. Any nerson therefore, who purchases a quantity of sugar in excess of his reasonable requirements for thirty days violates the law and becomes 1iable to prosecution and any dealer who knowingly sells such excess . quantity, becomes liable to prosecu- ton as a party to the violatfon.''
