 At Washington there was meet ing Of the federal reserve board, with all members and ex-officio members present, but no announcement was made as to the purpose, or what &C., ton. if any. was decided on.
 At last nights conference betweer bankers and stock exchange officers the bankers explained that they had no desire to iniure the local securi- tic. market. Their action in de- mandng that their broker customers reduce their loans was forced. they explained, by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. which in tu~r acted on insistance from the fedora reserve board.

The St. Mark outfit is also anxious 10 turn in a win in order to secure re- venSe for the pre- ous defeat inflict- cd by the Congregatic nalists.
 The Stanley Memorial team put up surprisingly good scrap against the South church first team last Saturday and is hopeful of win in tonight's exhibition affair The South Church Reserves, however, arc determined to come through, and a close game is expected.
 The First Lutheran and South Congregational church arrangements poned game on Wednesday night. If the Swedes win, the victory car ries the championship with it. Should the South Church emerge on top, the tGo teams would be tied and play-off would be necessary to decide the title.

 ''Put Away for 50 Years"

Mrs. Marguerite Montanile, the erstwhile and missing wife of An thony Montanile, iceman and vengful husband, who lives at 143 Pennington avenue. is now some where in Vermont with her alleged paramour, William Earle Hotch- kiss, once her boarder. and they are dsporting the Montanile marriage license. claiming to have been welded years ago. according to the report made to Sergeant McAvay last evening by Anthony, after he had done little detective work of his own.
 "Yes,"he told the sergeant, "she took the marriage license, the dia- mond ring, and everything when she left She took all the pictures of herself and her child. She took $50 of my money. And now they are in Vermont some place, show ing my marriage license around.'
 And then Anthony launched into another tale of woe-like others which he has poured into the ears
  disappeared with the boarder who liked steaks-and got steaks while the husband had to eat leathery fried eggs.
 "All day Sunday I took my truck out on the road looking for them.
 I swear, sergeant. if I would have seen them l would have run right into them. Boy! was mad.
 Now listen, segeant. What would you do if you was married 10 a woman and she would run away from you with another man? Would you take her back?' No sir. I know you wouldn't. And I'm not going to take her back either.
 My first wife ran away from me five times and I took her back every time until the last time. Then that was enough. l divorced her and put her away for five years This woman-she' broke up my home. and I'm going to put her away for for-60 years when l get her."
 "Wednesday night Anthony was content to have his crrire spouse put away for four years. Thursday night he raised the ante.
 Later developments of the case will he heard by Sergeant McAvay tonight.

AUTHORITIES SHUN FIGHT OVER SEDAN
Waterbury Men Fail to Interest
 Police in Quarrel

Just who owns that large sedan is still something of mystery 10 the New Britain police department and to Arsene Quintin, Fairlawn street, Waterbury. Quintin claims that he owns the car. Leonard Bessette. also of Waterbury, claims that he owns it. The police department re- fuses to referee. And there you are.
 Early yesterday afternoon Quintin. wearing his black derby pulled we'll down over his ears, came into the police station and asked Captain George Kelly for the loan of cop He wanted his car and he wanted his boy. Captain Kelly referred him to the detective bureau, where Ser geant McCue assigned Sergeant Feeney to the case.
 It ran like this: A short time ago, Quintn. finding himself about to become insolvent and wanting to save his car. signed it over to Leonard Bessette in return for a promissory note for sl,20o. In thls way, he thought, he would save it when the crash came.
 But the crash did not come. Quintin tried to retrieve his car. Much to his astonishment. he found that Bessette, Quintin's young son. and another boy had taken the ca. and departed for unknown places. That was two weeks ago. Early yesterday morning Quintin heard that the trio were in New Britain. so he came here.
 Traces Car Here
 Yesterday afternoon the bows were found on Seymour street. where they had engaged rooms. They were brought to the station house, and at : o'clock last night they were still thrashing out the ownership of the car. Ouintin claimed that if was his. Bessette claimed that it was his. Neither would give in. Quin- tin showed the promissorv note. Bessette showed the bill of sale for the car.
 Outside the station house, where they went under slight pressure from the night force, who had tired of the argument, they continued their wrangle It started to rain. As one man. they dashed for the con- tested sedan, where they evidently finished the fight because they drove off-Bessette driving of course. for Quintin has no license-for Water bury and home.
