SEEK TWO NEGROES
 IN H0LD.UP CASE
Alleged to Have Been in Party Which Robbed Meriden Man
ARREST BICYCLE THIEVES
Cherniack of Meriden Must Pay . His Fine--Bowling League Will
 Hold Meeting-Delegates to Pro-
 bate Convention.

According to information received two negroes said to have been in the car in which the assailants of George Schafrick of Meriden made their getaway last Saturday night, as a result of a tip dropped by Lesley R. Shields, one of the trio being held over for superior court.
 Schafrick's story as told in court in Meriden yesterday practically eliminated Shields from complicity in the crime, except for the fact that he drove the car in which the two women made their escape. The women approached Schafrick, ae cording to his story, and placed their arms around him as if in manifestation of endearment. He naturally sent them on their way, but found later that his pocketbook had been stolen.
 State Policeman Palmer happend to stop the wanted car in Wethers- field Sunday night, noticing that the tail light was not showing. When he learned their names, he at once effected their arrest, know ing them to be the people being searched for.
 Shields, the driver of the car, claims that he had nothing to do with the holdup, sayings that he was merely hired to chauffeur the party. Farewell Party Held

@~ All the necessary qualities for q req
 up-to-dats movie were furnished 1T the case of James Kapsis of 24s Washington street, charged with non- support in police court this morning
 The picture starts with the fond husband sending to far-away Greece for his wife and three children from whom he has been parted for four years, having come to the Land of Opportunity" to make his fortune. Then the happy reunion at the pier in arrival in Bristol where the family liv- cd happily for 10 months,
 But here the fates step in and the husband drinks a little too much liquor, which causes him to go home and beat his loving spouse, He is arrested and thrown into Jail, leaving bis family at the mercy of the city, The city supports them for a while and then the immigration officials come into the picture. It is found that the woman and her children have not been in the country for three years and, having become public charges, gre supteef TO deportaflons
 The woman, not familiar with the laws of the country. does not know that her husband has been sent to jail. and thinks he has deserted her.
 The papers are made out and plans completed, when a cousin of the wom- an appears and promises to care for her and keep her from becoming a public charge. He lives in New Hamp- shire where he is employed and he takes them there. after disposing of the furniture.
 Then the picture of the husbands return, finding his tenement deserted and his family absent. He inauires for them and is told that his wife has gone away with another man. Not knowing the circumstances of the case the husband thinks his wife has been nnfaithful to him. and swears that he will never contribute another cent toward her support
 2 The wife has moved to Chieopee Falls, Mass, in the meantime, and while there she learns of her hus- bands whereabouts. but he refuses to have anything to do with her. She stands it for a while and then comes to New Britain and swears out a war rant for his arrest on a charge of non-support.
 In the police court the usual happy ending scene of any good moving pie tcre is enacted, the husband learns all the facts of the case and forgives the wife forgetS, and the couple leave the courtroom arm in arm in search of a tenement.
 Judge William C. Hungcrford con flnued the case until April 1a in care of Probation Officer Edward c. Con- noliy. The story was nnravelled un- der the direction of Judge George Klett for the wife and Prosecutor Jos eph G. Woods for the state.

fused Until Further Notice.
 Berlin, April 4.-Applieants for 1isas to leave Germany were surprised to learn that the ministry of finance had ordered these refused until fur ther notice. and all frontiers barred 10 those seeking to depart. IL was in- timated that this was intended to check the exodus of Germans to Italy. Belgium. Switzerland and other coun- tries. which has been in progress for long time and has aroused adverse comment in the German foreign press.
 The newspape here have charged the temporary enigrsnts nith taking money out of the country to live with prodigal self indulgence in other countries where tie cost of living is cheaper. thereby depressing the. mark and giving the impression abroad that the cry of suffereinr on the part oS the German popplace is unfounded.
 The order to suspend Nisss is only temporary and IS being replaced i'm mediately by decree signed by Presi- dent Ebert, restricting pleasure trips abroad. The decree stipulates that only 900 gold marks may be taken out of the country by each traveller who. however. is allowed an additional limited sum of foreign currency for travelling expenses. this currency to be bought in Germany at the current rate of exchange.
 Every traveller will in addition be taxed 500 marks. exceptions to be made only in cases of traders and other legitimate travellers.
