 The cloth in question is some that was sold by the Hallvilie mill to the Chicago concern. 17 pieces in all, which were shipped in July, 1920, and were later returned by the Chicago people on the claim that it was not up to sample. There were 1,60O yards in the lot and the Hallville mill brought suit for $6,- 900 damages. The defendant company, it is understood, admits a value of $3,- 200, leaving &2,soO in dispute. Judge H. H. Pettis is counsel for the defendant.
 Attorney Edwin W. Perkins, counsel for the plaintiffs. called Delavan [. Smith of New York as the first witness. He is sales agent for, the Hallville mill and testified to the sale made to the Chicago firm.
 Deputy Sheriff Oscar H. Main testi- fled to taking the cloth on an attach ment after it had been returned. He had the r pieces of cloth in three big packing cases in one of the ante-rooms of the court; and after his testimony a recess was ordered by Judge James H. Webb in order that experts who had been called by the plaintiff might exam inc it.
 When court came in again, William G. Park of the Airlie mills. Hanover, testified that he found the F pieces of cloth all o. K, and up to sample, with no defects. Louis Henry Saxton of the Saxton Woolen Co. of Norwich Town

PLAINFIELD ELoPERs ARE
 HALTED IN PROVIDENCE

Two youthful eloping couples from Plainfeld, Conn.,, hurrying 10 New Bed ford to get married, were turned back at the Union station Monday evening by headquarters police, says the Providence Journal. Under the guidance of t sir parents. who came for them in an au- tomobile they returned to Plainhela Monday night.
 The lovers took back with them lot of advice given them at police headquar ters to the effect that marriage required at least a small capital. and that they were too young to get married anyway The police found that Albina Dion, 16 was the intended bride of Camille La couse, IS. and that Frederick Bauer. IS, had picked her sister, Louise, l5, for his life partner.
 It was further shown that the total funds with which Camille and Albina were venturing into matrimony was $2. Camille had turned his weekly pay en- velope over to his mother yesterday. and She had given him the s2 to keep for himself. Frederick was somewhat bet ter fixed financially for defraying housekeeping expenses, having $50 with him.
 The Providence police received word l by telephone from the Dion girls fa- ther' that they were running away and l were on the train due in Providence at 6.55 o'clock. They had to change cars 1 there in order to get to New Bedford. By the time Inspector Hall and Rogers reached the station the train had come and gone.
 In looking over the gathering at ths 1 Union station, however, the inspectors discovered the couples at the informa- i tion bureau. The young people denied 1 that they were the runaways sought. but ] surrendered when the inspectors called
 them by name. They were persuaded to l take trip to police headquarters to l consult Chief Mcguire.
 Word was sent to Papa Dion and he arranged ar automobile party to this city. in which he was accompanied by Camilles father and another man. When Mir Dion confronted his daughters and
 the two young men in police headquar- 1 ters, he expressed his feelings in French i His feelings against the young men for
