FIND REAL OWNER
 0F ANDREWS HOUSE
Property ill Name of Man Who
 Was Under Arrest

A few minutes before Charles s. Andrews was to be put to plea in court this morning on charge that he violated the state tenement house act, Inspector A. N. Rutherford learned that Andrews wife is the owner of the building, and con- tinuance was asked to December 2S.
 The permit under which d two- family house was built on Lake Boulevard was issued to Gladys &. Andrews, daughter of the man against whom a warrant was issued. The building department assumed he was the owner of the premises and when complaints were received from neighbors his was the name men, tioned in conferences with the prose- cutor. Investigation this morning showed that the assessors carry the property under the name of Mrs Andrews and an amendment to the complaint must be made unless An- drews agrees to assume responsibil- tty.
 The complaint in the case alleges that a two-family house was con- verted into a hree-family dwelling and that three infractions of the tenement house act accompanied the change. Attorney Israel Nair was in court today to defend Mir. Andrews.

PENSION FOR WIDOWS
 APPROVED BY POLICE
Members of Department Object, OAIara Reports, Much to
 Chief Hart's Surprise,

Sounding the sentiment of mem bers of the police department rela- tive to proposed changes in the city charter governing the policemen's pension system. Officer William O'Mara, who represents the depart ment on the pension board, has found that there is opposition to a pension for widows. Chief w. C.. Hart, who Is strongly in favor of the widows pension, was greatly surprised to learn of the feeling of some of the men. who believe the payments made into the fund should be used by the men them selves and not their widows, except in cases where they are killed in the performance of their duty.
 Officer O'Mara has also learned that some of the policemen favor retirement on pension after 25 years service instead of 30 years as at present, and there is also a feeling on the part of some that the period of service preceding eligibility to pension should date from the time of appointment to the supernumerary force. At pres ent the service in the supernu- merary department does not count towards a pension.

ECLECTIC DOCTOR
 HEAVILY FINED
Stamford Man Assessed SS0Oa
 Files an Appeal

Stamford, Conn, Dec. 20.-IP- D. Bernard l. kafka, eclectic 'phy- sician whose certificate to practice was suspended by the state depart. ment of health, was fined $500 and costs by Judge Samuel Young today on complaints that he had been practicing. ..
 An appeal was taken. His attor- ney, John E. Dillon of Bridgeport, offered demurrer which was over ruled and he also outlined the con- tention that the statute under which certificates of a number of eclectic physicians were revoked or suspend cd was unconstitutional.
 The demurrer was overruled by Judge Young after long statements by MT. Dillon and county health of ficer James Marr, the latter being the prosecutor.
 Tho fine imposed was s100 on each of three counts with costs add ed. An appeal bond of $500 was filed.
 MT. Dillon's contention was that as the eclectics whose certificates had been suspended had had no op- portunity to present their case when state action was taken against them the statute was unconstitutional. He indicated that the cases would be fought along these lines.
 MT, Marr, however, in reply said that the doctors had had their day in court, and had carried their case through higher courts of this state and the supreme court of the United States, and had lost out, that when they had opportunity to go on the witness stand and explain their cases they did not do so.
 Decision of the supreme court he claimed, definitely ended the cases of the suspended eclectics.'
 Dr. kafka had practiced here several years. His certificate was suspended in December 1923.

 Houck, himself a psychiatrist, de- clared he had been very sick" but that he was getting better now.'
