MISPLACED COMMA COSTS
 MEN THEIR INSURANCE
Coast Guard Service Employees Arc Said To Be Cut Out By
 Grammatical Error

] Washington, Feb. 2.-Misplac cement l of a comma in the text of the wal 1 risk insurance act took away from l thousands of officers and men in the after August 2S, 1919, in the opinion of officials of that service who ap- poared today before the house inter-
 state commerce committee to ask
 that the coast guard be placed again
 on equality with the army and navy.
 Lieut. Commander F. c. Billiard told the committee that the ruling that the coast guard could not come within the act after its removal from service un- der the navy, back to its normal sta- tus under the treasury department had been based on the wording of ar ticle four of the law, which authorizes insurance for "evcry commissioned off, ficer and enlisted man and every member of the army nurse corps and navy nurse corps when employed in active service under the war and navy 
 It was the contention of the coast guard that representatives framers of the bill, intended that the phrase when employed, etc" should be set off with a comma. making the active service limitation apply only to the nurse corps. Tn support of this con- tention. it was pointed out that an at torney general of the United States had ruled the coast guard a military service of the United States.

Judge Booth in Court of Common Pleas Awards Bridgeport Cafeman Judgement to Recover ssl2.5O
Decision Holds That Advent of Prohibition Made Li- cense Paid for by Prin- cipal Imperative.
FINDING STATEWIDE
 IN ITS EFFECT

Bridgeport. Feb. B. Ernest c Adams former saloonkeeper here to- day was awarded judgment to re- cover $312.50 of S750 paid by hin for a liquor license which was made imperative by the advent of prohibi. ton in July. 1919.
 Tho decision by Judge John R Booth in the court of common pleas is statewide in it's effect and estab- fishes the rights of TOO license hold CTS in Fairfield county to approxi- were voided by the prohibition act.
 Case of Great Interest.
 The case has been followed with interest by former holders of saloon licenses and by lawyers because of several principles involved. At the last general assembly the holders of licenses, which documents had become imperative by reason of the effective ness of the Volstead act asked for re- lief to the extent of rebate through the county commissioners of the por- tion of their license fees which cov- cred the unexpired Give months) part of the term of the license.
 Before that there had been a de- mand made on county commissioners for the portion of license money. The general assembly adopted statute which would give the county commis- sioners the right to pass upon the applications for return of money. The state, however, did not provide the money which might be available for rebates.
 Split Three Ways.
 License money had always been split three ways, 25 per cent to the state, 10 per cent to the county and the remainder apportioned among the towns.
 The case brought by Adams was re- garded as a test one and it was ar- gued in December. It is claimed that the rebates by commissioners would $1,000,O0O in the state if the statute was held to be right. Coun- sel for the commissioners of Fairfield county maintained that the statute was unconstitutional because it would require the payment of public money to private individuals. &
 Appeal Is Likely.
 It is expected that the state will appeal from the decision of Judge Booth that the constitutionality of the statute may be settled by the supreme court. !,
