 Dear Santa Claus:-We are not going to have any Christmas this year. But I would like to have some- thing from you. My brother and have been sick for month, and my brother is sick yet. I would like to have a good reading book and some games. My brother would like a choo-choo train. My smaller brother would like big doll, and my little sister would like sleeping Mama doll. We will be thankful and happy to get them.

BURNS BRINGS SUIT
 AGAINST PARK CITY
Wants Money for Cleaning Up
 Gambling Places

White Plains, Dec. 22.-supreme Court Justice Arthur s. Tompkins has begun hearing testimony in a suit brought by Randall w. Borough as assignee of the William J. Burns International Detective Agency, to recover s4,206.ss. balance due the agency 1t alleged, for services in cleaning up the city of Bridgeport of vice and gambling conditions in 1920.
 The suit was brought by the plain- tiff against John Stanley. former president of the police commission, and former Mayor Clifford Wilson, of Bridgeport, it being alleged that they had promised to become personally responsible for the services of the detectives in case the city failed to make good. According to the com plaint the total amount charged the city was $36,s62.21 and the amount sued for was the balance 1t Is alleged the city officials failed to pay.
 The plaintiff was represented by Tobias A. Keppler and Morton Abra- hams. while the defendants had the law firm of Loucks, Griffin. Comet & Cullen to look after their interest. The defense is that the detective agency was overpaid for the services it did in rounding up evidence of members of the underworld, who, 1t was charged at the time, were linked with Prosecuting Attorney Delaney, then holding office.
 Allen o. Myers, detective con- nected with the Burns agency, said that the agency had been engaged to "clean up Bridgeport" and that Mayor Wilson told him that Delaney was in league with the evildoers of the city. It appears that Mayor Will son was anxious to become governor of Connecticut and was after the scalp of the prosecuting attorney, who, 1t was alleged, was responsible for the conditions in Bridgeport. The witness swore that the agency at one time had as many as 75 de- tectives in Bridgeport. and that sev- eral were arrested. to fool those they were after.
