WOULD DISOWN
 WEES CHILD

Claiming that he was not the fath- CT of a child born to his wife in 1915, Harry J. Robinson of this city, ap- peared before State Referee Joel H. Reed this morning to ask for a divorce from Florence Hewitt Robinson of Everett Mass. Mrs. Robinson, who is contesting her husbands petition, denied Robinson's charge.
 She said Robinson forced her to leave Roxbury, Mass, hospital while she was in a delicate condition and that same day he deserted her in a Boston subway station because she refused to return to her own home.
 If you don't go back there you can go to- the wife testified Rob- inson said. Two days later Mrs. Rob- inson became a mother.
 Mrs Robinson denied she neglected her children, as her husband claim ed, and she also denied there was anything improper about her life in the home of man named Brown in Peabody, Mass, where she is en- ployed as housekeeper. She testified that Robinson deserted her in March, 1915, because he did not want to support the children.

CHARGES MADE
 AGAINST POLICE
One Patrolman Has Re signed-Other Is Sus-
 pended.

Sensational charges made against Patrolmen Martin Griffin and Cliff ford Gorgas, by a Norwalk young woman who was recently arrested here, resulted yesterday in the reslg- nation of Griffin and the temporary suspension of Gorgas from the local Police department
 This action was taken at a spe- ciaI meeting of the Board of PoIice commissioners which was held yes terday afternoon, at which time the girl entered charges of immortality against the policemen Griffin ad- mitted his guilt, but Gorgas denied the charges and refused to resign. He will be arraigned for trial before the comm issionerS April 15.
 According to information secured this morning, it seems that the Nor walk woman was arrested short time ago by local detectives and upon being g1illed by the authorities told a story which implicated the two po- licemen- The girl was originally talk en into custody on a technical charge of breach of the peace.
 According to GorgaS- story, he and Griffin were standing in East Main street near Barnum avenue when the
  had a conversation, and then went in opposite directions. Gorgas claim4 that Griffin returned later and asked him to make an appointment for him Griffin, with the girl if she returned Gorgas said that the girl came back and he made the appointment with her for Griffin. Beyond making the appointment, Gorgas claims to be in :, nocent of any misconduct. He has ! refused to make a statement except to the police commissioners. Martin Griffin, was appointed to the police force April 1. 1918, and was on duty in the Second precinct. Patroiman Clifford N Gorgas was appointed July 2S, 1911. He served I! with the motorcycle squad for sev- eral years and always conducted the l duties of this department very eff 1 ctently. He was recently transferred to the Second precinct, where he has been doing traffic duty.
 The woman who preferred the 1 charges against Griffin and Gorgas, is about 6 years of age, and at the time of her arrest gave her address as NorwaTk- She had been noticed in the streets of the East Side for some time, and was finally taken into GUS tody by detectives, on a breach of the peace charge She was detained by the authorities until an examination of her mental condition could be made, and it was during an ofhcial questioning that she broke down and told of her actions with the two of dcers.
 Police Officials refused to discuss the case this morning, but it is not believed that any members Of the de partnent except the two already mentioned will be implicated by the IgirTs story.

FIELD MICE
 WORK HAVOC

Hartford, April S-The state board of agriculture, at it's monthly meeting at the Capitol yesterday, went on rec ord as opposed to daylight saving and requested the secretary of the board, Leonard H. Healey. to forward a tele- gram to Governor Calvin Coolidge Of Massachusetts asking him to veto the measure passed in that state The full membership of rne board was present at the meeting with the ex- ception of Governor Marcus H. HoI- comb and Wilson H. Lee of Orange the latter now being in the south.
 The daylight saving plan was thor oughly discussed by the board and members said that if people who live in the cities only realized the condi- tions on the farms they would never be in favor of turning the clocks ahead. One member said that the scarcity of farm help was partly due to the fact that manufacturing con- cerns are taking the fapn help away giving them higher wages. One in- stance was told of a farmer near New Haven, whose help was taken to a
 mill in Derby, where one of the farm hands, who had been on that parti- cukar farm for six years, got S33 a week at the factory. He is now ou, on strike.
 The matter of field mice destroying apple trees throughout Connecticut took up considerable of the time ot the board one member reporting that these mice did $2e, ,0e0 damage in one county. Another member reported that 1,0e0 damage was done in his town alone. Owing to the severe winter, the field mice were unable tc dig through the heavy crust of ice and snow into the earth, and ate the bark of the apple trees.
