OFFICER INJURED

Nevertheless, Constable OrYile VentreS ''GetS His Man"
TRUCK DAMAGED BY FIRE
Traffic and Not Much Else-Base- ball Games Played Here Over the Week end - Berlin Pharmacy Broken Into-Items.

Suffering from an ugly gash on the head, caused when the man he was seeking to apprehend threw a brick at him, Constable Orville Ven tres of the Berlin police department. corralled his man and took him to the New Britain police station for safe keeping before returning to Berlin to have the wound dressed at about ', 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning.
 The man arrested was Sam Kutz, who is being held for trial in the Berlin town court tonight on charges of drunkenness and resist ing an officer. The scene of the con- flict was the Stiles & Reynolds Brick yard, where Constable Ventres off ciates in the capacity of night ~atchman.
 kutz, 1t Is understood, was mak- ing a disturbance in barn on the companys premises. Constable Ven- tres investigated and found the cause of the trouble. at the same time ordering the man to leave the place. He started to do so, but he suddenly picked up a brick and threw 1t at the officer. The missile struck him in the head, inflcting a wound about two inches long which penetrated to the skull.
 The officer pursued Kutz and captured him. He returned from New Britain to Kensington, where pr. Matthew Fl. Griswold dressed the wound. When asked today if the man threw the brick at him Constable Ventres replied. 'That isn't half of it. He not only threw the brick at me. He hit me with it."
 Truck Catches Fire.
 A truck owned by the United Mo- tor Lines of Hartford caught fire on the Berlin turnpike short dis tance south of the Beckley crossing at about o o'clock last night and had it not been for the prompt re- sponse of Company No. 2 of the New Britain fire department, the vehicle together with the merchant disc with which it was loaded, would have been destroyed.
 It is believed that short circuit in the wiring system was responsible for the blaze. A state policeman no- tified the New Britain department that the truck was afire and Con- rany No. 2 responded. The prompt application of chemicals extinguish- cd the blaze. The two front tires were burned off and the wiring sys- tenn was badly damaged.
 Leakage os gasoline is believed tc have made the fire burn more furl- ouslv and for a time it was thought that the five-ton vehicle, together with it's valuable load, would Dc consumed.
 The incident caused traffic tie op which for time threatened tt assume serious proportions. How ever. the Berlin constabulary, aided by the state police, managed to keeE cars moving

HARLAIVD CALLS
FOR CHANGES

Pedestrian control at street inter-
sections where traffic is ruled by a
policeman or traffic lights. ma king
lit unlawful for d pedestrian to
cross the street in disregard of the
signal, was recommended to- the
District Commissioners today BY
Traffic Director William H. Har-
land.
The recommendation was included
In about forty amendments to the
traffic regulations proposed by Har-
land to the Commissioners az part
Of q new edition of the traffic
regulations, simplified and con-
densed to about half the size Of the
old regulations,
The traffic book has been con.
densed by eliminating an minor
regulations applying to parking re-
strictions, one way streets and
other rules which are, indicated BY
signs on the streets.
These regulations viii be issued
In q separate book If Harland' &
recommendations are adopted by
the Commissioners.
The pedestrian control amend.
ment Is worded as follows:
ON all public highways where
traffic Is controlled by any device
1t shall be unlawful for any pedes.

nal. .
Other important changes in the
regulations would prohibit CONNER.
cial vehicles from parking in front

In loading or unloading merchan,

They provide for the same kind
of lefthand turns at intersections

Harland also recommended that
the plan for distributing regisfra.
ton tags proposed BY superinten.
dent Of licenses, Wade III. Coombs,
be adopted rather than the plan
proposed by the Bureau of Effici-
ency.
Coombs' scheme provides for
issuing q receipt at the time OF the
application for a tag and mailing
the registration card later. after
the address has been checked.
The amendment proposed by

the District Supreme Court to

July BY Shea who charged the
Frenchman with having debanched
ana alienated the affections 81 his
pretty, young wife. Refine Rosa
Shea.
Sweeping denial OF every aliega-
ton contained In the damage suit
was made by Soyez in the answer
which was filed by Attorney Hewitt
Griggs Robertson. Specifically. the
answer denies that the former
emissary wr0ngfuily. wIckedly
and unlawfully" debauebed the
pretty French woman Shea married
IN Paris IN December, 1918, while
he was stationed at the French
capital as a member Of the A. e. F.
Separated for One Year !
After denying that he had in.
fluenced Mrs. Shea to abandon her

by Soyez alleges that the auditor and
his wife had been separated for
one year prior to the time that he,
Eoyez, first met Mrs. Shea at q

Shea told the court that he had

when he ran across Al perfumed,

Then on July s, Shea instituted
100000 damage proceedings against
Soyez. placing that sum as the
actual damage alleged to have
been suffered by virtue Of financial
loss. mental anguish and social
reputation through the alleged de-
bauchery OF his wife by Soyez.
On July 81, Soyez established a
precedent In District court annals
when he demanded bin of par.
ticuiars of Shea before the
Supreme Court. The action was
dismissed by Chief Justice Walter

an answer to the suit first and
then to ask for the bill of particu.

Prior to this step, bills Of par.
ticulars had been sought In civil
cases only.
Shea's wife. formerly RENE Rose

daughter of French official when

won her following termination Of

Upon his discharge from the
