Attorney Monroe s. Gordon. counsel for Novek. appeared before Judge H. P. Roche in court today and asked that a date be set. Noveck, he said. was convicted on one. count of violation of the liquor law but took an appeal to superior court, where the case was nolled.
 Judge Roche said he believed 1t might be found that when the appeal was taken, the case immediately went out of the Jurisdiction of police court, and he requested Attorney Gordon to look up this point.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods said he was familiar with the law on this point, having looked into it in another case, and he was positive that the action must be brought in police court and if the state is suc- cessful, an appeal may be taken to the court of common pleas, civil side.
 Attorney Gordon said he has been unable to learn who has the custody Of the liquor. He has made request to Chief Hart for it's return and has been refused. MT. Woods said the state would be ready to proceed at any time and Judge Roche said he would hear it if both sides were satisfied that police court was the proper tribunal.

 >tBy the Herald Rsviswer)
 Jack Dempsey, forMer heavy weight champion of the world.-in the flesh-is appearing at Parsons theater. Hartford. the first part in the week in play built around events in his life. It is called you've guessed it--"The Big Fight" It provides three rounds of interest ing entertainment without contribut- ing single punch to the drama.
 What Broadway" is to night club life, "Burlesque" to the world of the galloping cornfeds, and "Ex- cess Baggage to vaudeville, "The Big Fight" is to the boxing racket. It is one of those stories which are described as-you've guessed 1t again-a cross section of life.
 The play is not the thing. John Harrison Dempsey is. The Manassa Mauler received 8 flattering recep- ton last night from the time of his first appearance until he won the gal. Six curtain calls followed the first act and as many followed the second. It was a personal triumph for Jack. who found that he has many warm admirers in this part of Connecticut. His auditors seemed to seize upon his every line as signifi- cant. For example when he declaim- ed that he had many good fights in him yet-speaking as a character in the play-there was loud handclap- ping. Other statements into which a double meaning could be read were applauded.
 Jack Dillon (known as the Tiger) is in love with Shirley Moore, a manicurist in a barber shop. His manager, Steve Logan. whose ob- jective is not matrimony. has his eye on the girl. Steve poisons Jacks mind against Shirley and another romance seems fair to go on the rocks. Shirley's brother, Lester, Is a weakling. . snivelling yellow crook. He double crosses Chuck Sloan, a big gambler, on a bet and Chuck sets his gang after him. In order to save her brother Shirley agrees at Chuck 8 suggestion to put dope in Jacks water bottle the night he meets Bat ting Baker in defense of his world heavyweight championship title. It is this way-Sloan and Logan have bet 8 million on Baker. But Shirley just can't 90 through with the scheme and the Tiger knocks Baker out in the second round. retains his crown. gets six hundred grand as his share of the gate and wins the gal.
 Harriet E. McGibbon, who is talk ing Estelle Taylor's place in the cast, makes an appealing Shirley Moore. The outstanding actor in the company is Arthur R. Vinton as the cynical. interruptions gambler who frequently asserts that when I pick.
