this years period was 17,236, as com pared to 17.7S0 in 1921.
 The drop in passenger car reg1- stratiOns may be attributed to the greater actual saving in the fee which Is gained. under the new system, by waiting until April l. The saving is the same in proportion to the rate for the whole year, as was possible under the old system but it actually amounts to more because the new rate for the year is higher.
 Notwithstanding theN decrease in registration of motor vehicles of these two classes. the aggregate fees for the reduced number registered this year amounted to S1,765, ,S57.6O, an increase of S56S.T56.41 over the az gregate fee for these classes a year ago. Registrations of all classes came to S1.SS5,4S6.60 in the past quarter, while those for the same period in 1921 aggregated S1.14S,29S.10. This includes motorcycles, of which S14 less were registered this year, side cars, dealers, repairers' and combi- nation reEistrations- Only SOP motor cycles were registered this year, less than half the number. 1.616, register ed in the corresponding period last year. 4 total of 5S1 SidecarS were registered, as against 1,04I in 1921.

Fewer Motor Cars Operated During
 Winter Just Past

Hartford May 13.-Contrary to the general belief. less automobiles were operated in Connecticut during the latter part of the winter just pass ed, than in the same season of a year ago The impression prevailed that, with the great increase in closed cars, cold winter weather was no longer permitted to interfere with automo- billing to the extent it had previous ly.
 Figures made public today by the motor vehicle department, however, revealed that 3,741 less automobiles were registered during the first quarter of this year than in the cor responding period last year. The great est drop came in passenger cars, os,- 403 of these being registered up to April, as agains 61 500 in the initials quarter of 1921. A drop of 544 in com mercial motor vehicles registered IS partly accounted for in the fact that therc was an increase of BPS in com bination registrations.

 called "confession'' or .'hysterica" letter in which Mrs. Anne U- Stlll- man is alleged to have confessed 10 Fred Beauvais had "come into her life,' was ruled inadmissible as eVi- dence in the divorce hearing py Rei- cree Daniel J. Gleason here today. Supreme Court Justice Morschau- ser had refused last summer to aoHliI the letter, but attorneys for MT. S- StlII- man made a second attempt to nave it admitted.
 Rejection of the letter was consi1- cred a great victory for Mrs Stlll- man and Baby Guy Stillman, whose paternity is questioned by Stillman. Letter Admitted. Another letter. written by Mrs. StiIlman from Buffalo on April 20, 1918, addressed to Anne StIilman, her daughter, and James A her hus- l band, at their New York home, was admitted The letter. it was report l ed, started Dear Family Among other things it said, ''I would be much better off if I had taken Fred's ad- vice.
 Mrs Sti11man was cross examined for two hours by Colonel William Rand. after which John E. Mack re examined her and she was dismissed from the stand.
 Most of the cross-examination was confined by Colonel Rand to attempts to have Mrs. Stillman identify vari- ous letters as being in her handwrit- ing.
 Tt looks like my handwriting, but they certainly are not my sent1- ments,' she said of the two ''kathi- tio'' letters, alleged to have been written by her to Fred Beauvals. If a person did not have such sentiments he would not write them."
 Then the witness was asked to take pen mad ink and write several phrases and sentences as dictated to her by Colonel Rand. She selected a stub pen and sat down at the stenograph- CTS table.
 What She Wrote.
 "Stillman vs. Sti1lman," was the first dictation she wrote. She was ask ed to and wrote Fred K Beauvais" and "We leave Three Rivers by the o'clock train" This is an excerpt from a letter she is alleged to have written to Beauvais as is also Ut puzzles me-" which she also wrote
 "It looks like my handwriting" was all Mrs. Stillman would say about eight letters alleged to have been written by her at various times to the late James Stillman, Sr., her daughter, Anne, other members of the family and other persons.
