SUIT over CANDY
SOLD TO ThEA7ER
Apert Claims Rotstein ct al Owe
Him for Supply

The suit Of Harry Alpert against
Morris Rotstein and others in which
the plaintiff claimed non-payment
Of balance on bill for candy,
was tried this morning in city court
before Judge Morris D. SAKE. No de-
cision will be reached until written
agreements are presented by coun-
sells of both parties.
1t was revealed in the testimony
that in January 1928 the defendants,
of whom there are four, came to the
plaintiffs place of business on Com
mercial street and ordered some
candy for their candy counter at the
Community theater in Plainville,
which was then in their possession.
At the time. the plaintiff testified.
an agreement was reached whereby
he was to bill the purchases to the
Community theater. which was sat-
isfaotory to him as long as he re-
ceived payments. In time the thea
ter went out of business and he de-
manded the money from the own
ers. each time receiving replies that
he should wait = while AS things
were rather slow and they had no
ready cash on hand.
The bill at the time amounted ia
little over 5000 and after many
requests and threats. the plaintiff
received two check payments of $50
each, he claimed. Further testimony
revealed that when he called one OF
the partners up or the telephone
about paying the balance, he wal
told that It isn't necessary to pay
him the rest and that he could dc
without it. Soon afer this incident
the plaintiff stated that he found
out that the partnership was cor.
poration, of which fact he was to.
tally ignorant, the defendants never
mentioning the fact to him.
The defense claimed that it wal
a legal corporation and that it filed
an application for dissolution and
being dissolved the individuals were
not liable for the debts of the cor
poration.
The corporation consisted OF Mr.
and Mrs. Morris Rotstein, the late
Max Berkowitz, against whose bene'
ficiaries q suit is pending in the L
s. district court in New Haven ovel
alleged misstatements OH several life
insurance policies, and Mrs. Ida
Horwitz, wife of the late Max Der
kowitz. Contrary to the statements
of the plaintiff, both women testified
that they never came to his place
Of business. while other witnessed
testified that they were there OF
several occasions.
Other testimony revealed that the
plaintiff approached Rotstein ant
asked him about paying the debt, a
which time Rotstein is alleged tt
have said that he hasn't enough t
buy himself a package OF cigarette!
and that all the money vas undel
the control of his wife.
Attorney Bernard Alpert. son o
the plaintiff, represented his fat.:el
and Donald Gaffney represented thu
defendants.

Missionaries Return
 Cautiously to China

MARKING, Dec. 21.-Foreign missionaries, chased out of Nan king and vicinity as a result of the Ranking incident of March, 1927, in which several foreigners lost their lives and foreign proper ty was footed by uncontrolled Chi nese soldiers, are beginning to re- turn to their posts.
 The gaunt skeletons of the burn ed and footed residences still stand as silent remainders of last years period of flaming hate toward the foreigners, but now the agitators responsible for that orgy are said by Chinese and foreign mission aries alike to have disappeared.
 Although the missionaries are seeking to resume their work here and elsewhere in interior China, they are going back to their sta tions without the approval, fin prac- tically all cases, of their respec- tive diplomatic and consular offi- cials in China.

 Movie Camera Misses

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. 31lThe fortunes of make-believe war are sometimes as harsh as those ot actual combat.
 For illustration there is the ex- perience of a motion picture con- pany which for months has been engaged in making a war film at the Oakland air port.
 A sudden gust of wind or an un- expected twist damaged the wing of the plane which was being "shot" few thousand feet up. It started a tumbling descent, a huge camera plane darting after it like a falcon for it's prey.
 The director on the ground be- low removed his hands from his eyes and ceased grooming in time to see the pilot of the disabled craft get it in on balance and make fairly smooth landing.
 He rushed toward the camera plane as it followed suit, shouting What picture. Congratula- tions,"
 But one of the camera men had tainted and the camera of the oth- CT had jammed.
