 FOR S1O,0OO BY
 ADMINISTRATOR

An aftermath of an automobile fa- tanty that caused much indignation throughout the city last fall, came to nSht in Superior court today when papers in a suit for damages of S1O,- o0O were filed by L. B. Nickerson, as aumlnlStrator of the estate of the late Georglanna E. Nickerson. The de- fendant, John F. Reckord, alias John Record, who formerly lived on Broad street, found crirninaIly responsible by Coroner John J. Phelan, was heay- lily f1ned at the last term of Superior Criminal court.
 The papers, filed by the law firm Of Pullman & Comley, review the fla tal1ty, which occurred at 1O:l0 p m.. Sept. 24, the unfortunate woman passing away early the foIIowiug 2 morning in Bridgeport hospital. After paying a call at a home on Fairfield Mrs. Nickerson were about to board a trolley when Reckord alleged to have been in an intoxicated condi- ton, drove his automobile at cerIl- less speed. and beyond his control! passing other automobiles that had stopped behind the trolley and strik- Ing the victim with such force that she was hurled nearly 200 feet, and the automobile driven further before being stopped by Reckord, who ran back and wanted to know What did she step in front of my automobile for"
 There was much feeling against Reckord at the time, and the trial of the case will arouse more than or dinary interest The plaintiff is in charge of the local freight department of the New Y York, New Haven SS Hart ford railroad.

VOLCA PEASANTS TO BE FED WHEN
 SUPPLIES ARRIVE

Samara, Feb. 17-It will be a new experience for the peasants of the Volga area to be corn-fed when the famine supplies from America arrive there. While Indian corn has been generally used for bread and cassia in the Ukraine, which is as much of a corn country as Indiana or Iowa, the Volga area has confined it's cultivation chiefly to small grain. It has short seasons and less precipita- peasants know little about cornmeal and the art of making cornbread, hominy and cornmeal much.
 When it became known that the American Relief Administration would send large quantities of corn d1aise relief of the famine, Soviet of ficials in the Moscow food admin istration wired to all officials along the Volga urging them to be prepar- ed to instruct the peasants in the use of the strange grain.
 Plans were made to rush it imme- dfately to Rostof- and thence to famine relief central stations in the Southern Volga area and into the hands of peasants without any effort at milling.
 The Volga country is full of wind driven mills which can probably be adjusted so as to grind the corn. Or in case the peasants cannot get it ground In mills, the Soviet officials say the Russians are so accustomed to pounding up grain in mortars that they will manage somehow to crack it sufficiently so that it can be boiled into a coarse mush.
 Russians are fond of cassia, or mush, which is made of nniIlet, buck wheat and other coarse grain.

could be taxed for, their holdings
More recent statutes make such taxes

The provision that the State Tax
