 Divorce Suit

Pending a conference between coun- sel, and an opinion by Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin, there will be no court action in the divorce suit of veneta c. Alden, Bridgeport. against George E. Alden, Yonkers. N. r..
 What had been anticipated would be a hotly contested suit may never be heard in court, reports from reli- able sources today. indicating that @ settlement satisfactory to all concern ed would be reached early this after noon.
 The Aldens have three minor chill dren. They are Veneta C., three; George E.. two; and Leroy A., one. The couple were married January 20. 1917, the plaintiffs maiden name being Brown. Intolerable cruelty was alleged to have occurred on and sub seuent to October 1, 1918. The de- fendant entered a counter suit accus- ing his wife of infidelity, and also cruelty. The case had been schedul- ed for hearing Tuesday morning, but was the subject of two postponements, until today, because of the illness of Judge Marvin, who was just suffi- cient1y recovered to hear cases today.

$24,OOO Todays s Total In Drive
 By Local Jews

Reports of the third monday luncheon of the Jewish Relief Drive held at the EGks' club. indicate that the allotted quota of t50.O00 for this city will be aeasily reached by Satur- day. According to the statistics avail able at noon over s24,0O0 has been raised to date. The largest crowd that has as yet attended a luncheon was present today and there is no doubt that the enthusiasm and pep which was somewhat dormant at the start of the drive is now at high pitch.
 A pep talk was given today by Charles Shapiro. state chairman, who urged the campaign workers on to greater efforts in their campaign to aid their orphan brothers. Chairman Greenspun presided at the luncheon and he also gave a short address. Another luncheon will be held at the clubhouse tomorrow noon-
 State Chairman Shapiro urged aA the workers to put the drive over and prove an inspiration to the workers in New Haven and Hartford.
 National Chairman of the Jewish Relief Drive David A Brown of De- troit, sent a letter to the local head quarters urging that the drive he continued for another week as New ' ork and the other large cities Of the country were going to continue the drive. It is probable that the drive will be continued another week in Bridgeport

The man en- tered the store and asked for a twenty ones. Itpen receiving the bill he handed the clerk eighteen one dollar bills instead of twenty The dis crepancy was called to his attention and in the meantime he placed the twenty dollar bill in an envelope. He then took the eighteen dollars back and stated he would go out and get two more dollars. He then returned the envelope but when he did not re- urn in over an hour the envelope was sopened and found to be empty.

Cenuario May
 BeDisbarred

Previously in the bad graces of the Fairfield County Bar association when Attorney Charles S. Garfield was President of the Grievance com nit Norwalk, is again in trouble, due to alleged malpractice, and disbarment action seems likely to follow.
 Several years ago. the young man was before the Grievance committee, upon a number of charges, among them being one of appropriating a clients funds The committee at that of Gen. Russell Frost, and Judge Taylor, the former of Norwalk, and the latter of Stamford. The decision of the committee at that time was to submit the affair to brother attorneys of Norwalk. Sentiment was about in favor of pushing disbaTment pro- ceedings, and those who were inclined to hold the charges in abeyance and give the young attorney another chance. The charges were not drop ped.
 Again in trouble, this time over a. di- voce matter handled in an alleged questionable manner, and with almost every lawyer in Norwalk holding a charge of some time or other against him, 1t seems probable that Secretary Samuel c. Shaw of the new Grievance committee and States Attorney Cum mfngs. will press the charges and dis bar Genuario. A hearing was held at the Norwa1k City hall a few days ago, at which startling testimony is said to have been heard.
 Tomorrow during the short calendar session of Superior court before Judge J ofln W. Banks an order will be asked requiring the defendant to file an answer or for decree of diSbarment-

Superintendent of Police Patrick Flanagan spent most of this morning at the railroad station Investigating the conditions existing among taxi and public hack drivers at the station. Passengers arriving in Bridgeport have made complaints to railroad of fcials at New Haven of the annoy ance of taxi men. Reports say that the taxi men literally seize grips of passengers and push them into their cabs in order to get a fare.
 Police records tell of a number of fights among the drivers over fares The railroad officials say that the drivers are on their property and that they will probably order them off.
 Superintendent Flanagan interview ed officials at the station and un- known to taxi drivers watched them as they attempted to get fares. His report will probably be made to the police commissioners.

Supre1neCourt Finds An Error
T wo Important Suits Settled At Sitting Of High Court In Hart ford.

Hartford, March 9-Error Is found and cause remanded with direction to set aside the judgment for the plain tiff and enter judgment for the de- In the case of c. D. s. Miller, and others, against Francis H. MacFarlane and others, all Bridgeport. The case was tried first in the Superior court logg, where judgment was rendered for the plaintiff.
 The plaintiffs bought from the de- fendants property of the Bridgeport Silverward Co.,, whereupon both the defendants agreed not to again en- gage fin the business of making CT selling casket hardware for a period of five years; For a faithful per bound themselves in the sum of $3,- 500. About year after this, how ever, the defendants did engage again in this business, and it was to recover the $3,5o0 that the plaintiff brought suit.
 Soon after purchasing the original concern, the plaintiffs caused 8 new corporation to be organized under the name of the Bridgeport SidverWare Corporation, and received 230 out of 240 shares of the capital stock. They did not, however. assign to the cor poration the bond sued on or any in terest therein.
 In the decision, it is pointed out that if the plaintiffs were still the owners of the business which the covenant against competition was intended to protect, the judgment would be not open for attack. He mentions, however, the fact that the plaintiffs sold the entire business, and received stock in payment for it. As suming that there were still stock holders in the corporation he says, they have no interest sufficient to entitIe them to sue for and recover for an injury to its business, except upon allegation and proof that the directors refused to bring such an ac- tion in the name of the corporation This action, however. is brought by the plaintiffs as individuals.
 Roth vS. ChatloS.
 No error is found in the case of Charles V. Roth against William Ghatlos, another Bridgeport case. The case was first heard in the Superior court of Fairfield county before Judge Kee1er and jury, and verdict and judgment for the plaintiff for S6,00O.
 The plaintiff was riding a bicycle in Bridgeport when he was struck by an automobile truck driven by the defendants agent. In the first case, of course, each held the other at fault. The appeal was from the denial of the motion to set aside the verdict, and for errors in the charge of the jury and for rulings on evidence. None of these objections was upheld.

From Committee.

Washington, March q-The soldier bonus bill will be pass ed by the House Monday, March SO, unless plans completed hy House Republican leaders today are changed. Under set rules of, the House the bill can be called upon on that date and by a two-thirds vote sent along to passage without opportunity being offered for changes and on a direct vote on the bill it. self. This will mean 8 vote for or a vote against a soldier bonus. It is confidently believ- ed that the bill will get far more than the required two thirds of all votes cast.
 The rules of the House on that day will limit discussion of the bill to 20 of the general interest in the bill an arrangement will be made whereby longer time for discussion will be all lowed.

Few of the House leaders favor sales tax, and no Republican leader will stand for an excess profits tax.
 The army appropriation bill will be brought out next Monday. There is to come 8 sharp fight on this army bill between advocates of the army i, as it now stands and those demandS ing an army much smaller in enlisted personnel and In officers It will take nearly all of next week to dis pose of this legislation.
