LEGAL FIGHT ON IN
 DR. BLUMER'S CASE
Dr. Pennine Voluntarily Surren-
 derS His License

Hartford, Jan. 2S.-Attorney Gen. eral Frank F. Healy. appearing as counsel for the natureopathc exam ming board of the state, filed his re- turn today in the superior court in Blumer of this city for a mandamus from the court ordering the board to rescind it's order revoking his license to practice or show cause. Dr. Blumer has for several years been the head of the Blumer college of natureopathy in this city. and the state natureopathic board revoked his license upon facts laid before it by the extraordinary grand jury which has been investigating the diff ferent schools of doctors in the state In his answer to the writ, Attorney General Healy admits that Dr. Blumer was granted a license and that he practiced under it but the answer de- nies all the other allegations of Dr. Blumer's pleading. Dr. Blumer set up that he did not have due and suf- ncient notice of his hearing before the natureopathic board. that he was not given opportunity to retain and consult with counsel, and did not have opportunity to summon wit ness to be heard in his behalf.
 Dr. Saverio N, Pennine, of Provi- dence today came to Hartford and voluntarily surrendered his license to practice medicine. Accompanied by Dr. John Perry of New Haven. a member of the eclectic examining board, he first consulted Attorney General Healy and then went to the office of the state department of health where the license was sur rendered. To the grand jury he made the statement that he did not feel en- titled to the license and was com mended for his action.
 He was licensed in Connecticut in 1928 after being a student at the Middlesex college of medicine and surgery and the Kansas City college of medicine and surgery. He prac- ticed for while in New Haven. He is now dentist. Dr. Pennine is the first voluntarily to surrender & license since the grand jury investigation began.

 ON AUTO DRIVERS
Fines for Violations in Past Year
 Amounted to $14S,9i4

Hartford, Jan. 2s.--Fines reported to state motor vehicle department for violations of the motor vehicle law during the calendar year 1923 aggre- gated $143,914.5S, according to a compilation completed at the depart ment The total represents an in- crease of s47,760.62 over the fines reported for the previous year.
 The number of fines reported for 1923 was 5,7S3, an increase of 1,450 over the 1922 total, but the depart ments received s700 in fines on bod checks and sT4s.40 in trial fees in 1922, whereas receipts on account of those items were included under the general heading of fines for the past year.
 Reorganization of department sta- tistics for the year shows receipts of s4.32s.4S2.16 for 1923, as against sS.567.744.S4 in 1922, an increase of $761.6S7.32. The 21.S per cent gain was principally due to the registra- tion of 2S,ls7 more motor vehicles in 1923 than in 1922. the total registra- tions reaching 1S6,595 last year. Under the state law, all these receipts are turned over to the state highway department for expenditure in the inn provement of the state highway sys- tenn. Not even the expenses of the department are deducted from the receipts, direct appropriation being made by the general assembly for this purpose.
 Nearly one million dollars of the 1923 receipts were from sources other than registrations. Operators, of whom 21s,395 were licensed, paid license fees of s51s.692 in 1922. Examination fees aggregating s9s.0sS were paid during the past year. Such fees totalled $71,1s0 in 1922. paid by S5,590 persons.

 Fourteen airships were registered in, 1923 at cost of s52 to the owners. One was registered in the previous year for $5. In contrast to the situation with regard to motor vehicles where there are a great many more operators than machines, only half as many airplane opera tors licenses as there were airplanes 10 operate were issued last year, Tho license fee for an aviator is s2. An increase of fifteen brought the total number of motorcycles registered in 1923 to 2.s2o. Commercial car regis trations went from 25,e22 in 1922 to ?a,14o in 1923. There was an in- crease of thirty-nine jitneys through out the state, making a total of s2s, and a gain of ssi public service cars, such as taxicabs, bringing the whole number of these to 2,i91. Regis trations for private motor vehicles totalled 1ss.5s5, which was an in- crease of 6i,2sf.

WET TIDE TURNS

The Canadian vets hoped to follow up their VIC
tories in the west by 'reclaing the big popuous and
rich province of Ontario for liquor. They blocked
by dry&vctory, and the dry forces are correspond
ingly cheered.
.sThe tide of battle has turned, says the national
prohibition leader. We will not only regain the west
provinces to the dry column but will press for
ward unitedly for national prohibition. A Canada
free from the blight of booze IS our ideal.
That program means not only the regalnlng OF the
provinces that tried temperance briefly and did not
like it, but the drying of the French province
of Quebec the stronghold of the Canadian liquor tra1
fic.
The hopes of the prohbitionists may be unduy in
flated but that is by certain. Canadians
have been ndugng in sober second thought about
the liquor question: wondering whether after all, the
benefits of alcohol are great they imagined
to be by habua drinkers and represented to be by the
liquor industry Sefrespectng citizens too, have been
scandaliZed by the extent to which border cities have
become saloons for the thirsty Americans, and do not
care to profit by that kind of In that they
have the support of sefespectng citizens this side
of the border
There is perceptble greater regard for prohibi-
tion lately in our own country. The present of
feeling may be international in scope. 1t is not i'm
possible despite obstacles encountered here and there
that the continent eventually will be dry. At any
rate it seems destined to be drier than it is now rather
than wetter.
