HARTFORD H. s. ASKS
 N. B. H. s. FRIENDSHIP
Capital City Students As- sured of Continuance
 of Relations

Four representatives Of the stu dent council of the Hartford Public High school spoke to the pupils Of the local Senior High school at to- days assem bly, and made d plea for continuing good relations between the two schools despite the incident which took place on the eve of the Hartford-N. B. H. S. game in which the local high school building was defaced.
 Introducing the Hartford repre- sentatives, Principal Louis P. Slade explained that he did not feel that it was necessary for the Hartford members of the student council to apologize for the defaciug of the building as it was the work Of indt- viduals and in no way affected the pleasant relationship between the schools. However, Principal Slade consented to having the four Hart ford representatives speak so that the pupils of New Britain High school may understand the good re- lations that exist between the schools. Principal Slade pointed out that the incident is better forgotten
 The first Hartford student to speak to the assembly was William Tench, president of the student council of Hartford High. Tench told the students that the clean sportsmanship which existed be- tween the Hartford and New Brit ain football teams on the day of the game exemplifed the good feeling between the two schools, and he said that he sincerely hoped that such mutual understanding would continue

TREE SALE ILLEGAL IN RESIDENCE AREA
Corporation Counsel Makes Ru,
 ing on Christmas Greens
WOULD OVERLOOK BOYS
Building Inspector Rutherford Says He Will Not Interfere Unless Spe- cific Complaint Is Made-Will Not Go "Snooping.'

If specific complaints are regis tered with the building department ! against the sale of Christmas trees in sections of the city zoned for any thing but business, action will be taken to stop the trade. Chief Build ing Inspector A. N. Rutherford said today. after having received the following reply from Corporation Counsel J. H. kirkham to an inquiry yesterday as to whether Section 8-6 of the zoniug ordinance prohibited Christmas tree sales in residence dis tricts: Answering your inquiry of Dec. 11th l will state that your in depreciation of Section S-6 of the zoning ordinance is in my opinion correct.
 In other words, conducting a sale conducting of a business and Section S-6 permitting greenhouses, nur- series, etc, does not grant exemption for sale of Xmas trees.
 Rutherford's Attitude
 Inspector Rutherford explained his attitude as follows: "I received a specific complaint that Christmas trees were for sale on the lot at the corner of Stanley and Allen streets and 1 ordered the business stopped pending an opinion from the corpo- ration counsel, as 1 was of the opinion that the zoning ordinance did not permit the business.
 The common council next We'd neEday night will have before it the recommendation of the board of ad- justment that a cf ange be made in the zoning ordinance tt permit busi ness uses Of the lot at Allen and Stanley streets. If l allowed the sale time, I believe I would be open to criticism, because the recommended zone change has not yet been made.
 Will Not Go "SnoODing"
 "I do not intend to go about the city seeking out places in residence zones where Christmas trees are for sale, but if specific complaints come to me about them, I can do noth- ing but enforce the ordinance. l know that Christmas trees have been sold in residence districts in the past, but so far as the building department is concerned, no con- plaints were known of.
 Personally. l can see no harm Tn the temporary use of unoccupled lots or the yards surrounding homes, for the display and sale of Christ mas trees for a week or two in December, but in view Of the fact that the building department IS charged with the responsibility Of enforcing the zoning ordinance l cannot see my way clear to do any thing but act on complaints. Should it be necessary to bring police court cases. which I doubt, compliments would be subpoenaed to testify for the state.'

 Residents Of the district whose children attend the school rejoiced today at their victory over the mayor. achieved only after main taning q stubborn attack on his hostility to the the project. Ever since the proposal to construct a new building was launched, Mayor Quigley has been adamant in the face of heavy fire carried on in the press and at meetings of the Par ents and Teachers association.
 Parents Determined
 The association assembled in the auditorium of the Lincoln school last evening prepared to continue it's az ltation for the new school building. Mayor Quigley had accepted an in vitation to speak and explain his op- position. Parents went to the gath ering in a spirit of determination. They were surprised when the mayor announced his surrender Someone in the assemblage suggested that the new structure be named the Quig ley school.
 The financing plan under which the construction program will be carried out is the creation of Louis w. Young a member of the board of education.
 Opposition Official, Not Personal
 After assuring members of the Parants and Teachers association that the battle had been waged not in a personal, but in an official ca pacity, Mayor Quigley disclosed what he termed "a surprise by saying, We're going 10 build new Northend school" The mayor had spent the first part of his talk in showing how unfavorable a time 1t vas for further public expenses.

EX-JUDCE PLANS DEFENSE
Denver Man Claims Grant Incident and Canadian Decision as Prece- dents-Says Church Law Does Not Forbid Interruption.

Forbid Interruption.
 New York. Dec. 1o LP-Trial of q misdemeanor charge against former Judge Ben B. Lindsey which grew out of his expulsion last Sunday from the cathedral of St. John the Divine was continued today until next Wednesday by Magistrate Breyer.
 Reaching back into Hebrew his tory, as we'll as into recent annals Of the Episcopal church. the former judge was prepared to use two pre- cedents to answer charge of dis orderly conduct based on his inter ruption of Bishop Manning.
 He planned to cite the case of the prophet Anon, who appeared in the kings chapel at Bethel, the north crn kingdom, and interrupted the high priest. Onaziah. to proclaim the injustices of the robles.
 Elected as Lindsay Was
 Anon was ejected from the chap eI. somewhat as Lindsey was thrown out Of the cathedral of St. John the Divine; then he vorte his lm- mortal prophecy.
 The judge also relied on an lnc1- dent in the church Of Rev. Percy Grant, rector of the Church of the Ascension. Rev. Mir. Grant eIlogized the late. Theodore Roosevelt from the pu,pit. A man jumped up and collected. Grant invited the man to have his say, after which the pastor repeated his eulogy and the man left the church of his own accord.
 Counsel for Lindsey said Eplsco- pal clergymen versed in canon law assured him there was nothing ln Episcopal laws or regulations to for bid a man to answer a charge from the pulpit,
 Hopes to Prove Revocation
 With Bishop Manning on the stand the defendant hoped to prove he had sufficient provocation for speaking out III dI45Nel tO bishop's attack upon his character
 Lindsey will be tried under sec tions of the state penal code which term the disturbing of a religious service misdemeanor and make It punishable by a fine of not more than $50 or six months in jail, or both.
 Bishop Manning has been re- ouested to bring a marked copy or Iindsay's book on marriage and letter and telegram which Lindsey sent him before the sermon. The author set forth his stand on mar riage and asked for a fair presen- tation from the pulpit.
 Arthur Garfield Hays, Lindsey $ counsel. said he would argue that his client had sufficient provocation in the bishops address to deman1 a. hearing within the church. He said he had subpoenaed two more witnesses but declined to reveal
