RULE SHOP WINS SUIT
 BROUGHT ON PATENTS
U. s. Circuit Judge Decided Local Concern is Not
 Infringing.
Especial to New Britain Herald)

Especial to New Britain Herald)
 New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 29.-The Stanley Rule & Level company of this city was exonerated in the United States Circuit Court here yesterday on a charge of infringing on the patent rights of George Bedortla of Windsor. U. s. Judge Manton of New York presided and Rcdortha himself argued his case, explaining that he had been unable to secure an attorney.
 Bedortha's claim was that Robert Wood of Glasgow, Scotland, was the original and sole inventor of improve ments on a spirit level which is now made by the New Britain concern. He charged that in 1916 Wood transferred to him his patent rights in this coun- try. Further. Bedortha alleged that The Stanley Rule & Level company, since 1902, has manufactured and sold the level which patent is owned by Wood and Bedortha and after being duly warntd that it was infringing.
 The Stanley Rule & Level company contended prior art, that they had patented this same level two years before Wood had done so and thus killed the latter's claim to the inven- tion Various officials of the concern were subpoenaed. among them being R. N. Peck and Henry Walther After hearing both sides Judge Manton ruled that Bedortha's claim was in valid.

Norwich Court Imposes Penalty on Woman for ObStruCtins Traffic
ECHO OF FORMER INCIDENT
Mrs. Elizabeth c. Evans of Brooklinc, Mass, Was Previously Discharged in Similar Case in Same City a Fort night Ago.

Norwich, Conn.,. Oct. as.-Mrs. Elizabeth G. Evans of Brookline, Mass, was fined 1925 today on the charge of violating the city ordinance by obstructing traffic on the street An appeal was taken to the superior court and a bond of s2O0 furnished.
 This case was another in the series of test meetings. Mrs. Evans fig ured in a similar incident a fortnight ago and was discharged. as the court held that she obeyed the order of an officer to move on, while socialist speaker with her was fined because he did not obey the officer.
 Refused to Move on.
 Sergeant John H. Kane testified to- day that about 7:15 last evening there was no gathering of persons at the corner of Ferry and Main streets. At TAO a crowd began to assume form and about 600 persons were there. Three officers were able to keep traffic moving on Main and Ferry streets until the arrival of Mrs. Evans about s:15 or s:30. One of the local social ist workers placed a box in the center of Ferry street about 30 feet from Main street. On Mrs. Evans arrival the crowd surged around her. block ing traffic on Ferry street. The ser geant said the crowd did not quite reach to Main street as it did on the previous occasion.
 Sergeant Kane further testified that he stepped up and asked Mrs. Evans to move on." She stood on the box and made no attempt to move. He then told her to ''come along with him." Mrs. Evans asked Sergeant Kane if she could make an announce ment and he said mo-. Sergeant Kane said that with other officers he took Mrs. Evans to police headquar- ters. Officer Daniel O'Neil corroborat- ed Sergeant kane's testimony.
 Questions Right of Police.
 The defense put on no witnesses. but counsel for Mrs. Evans made an argument attacking the right of the police to stop d street gathering of this kind. and the legality of the traf- fic ordinance. He concluded, stating that ''an ass or a donkey has more rights than the individual if the United States constitution and the of the state of Connecti- cut relative to the right of free speech are not upheld"
 He said it was the duty of the po- lice to protect Mrs Evans in the eN- ercising of her rights and not to re- strict her. Deputy Judge H. H. Pet tis. in his decision stated that the right of the public in the highway is superior to the right of any individ- ual. Streets are for public travel, he said. and he found Mrs. Evans guilty and imposed the fine.
