 of Court
ASKED S5O,OO0 DAMAGES

The suit of William Fl. Water man, once owner of the Waverly Inn in Cheshire, against the Way erly Inn, Inc, and his wife, Eliza beth J. Waterman of Cheshire was withdrawn in the civil side of the superior court in New Haven yes- terday by Thomas R. Fitssimmons, counsel for Waterman, after satis- factory settlement was made. Wa terman sued for $6o,o00 dam- ages.
 The amount of the settlement was said to be in the neighbor- hood of e3,000. Waterman, now separated from his wife, brought suit last year seeking to recover his half of the property in Cheshire where the inn is located. He pur- chased the property good many years ago and established the inn which gained some prominence un- der his management. He and~his wife decided to separate about two years ago.
 Mrs Waterman incorporated the inn following the separation. Wa terman, fearing of an intended sale of the property about year ago, brought suit against his wife to re- cover his half of the property. The action was withdrawn when sct-. clement was made after the prop. erty was sold about month ago to Rocco Diorio of Waterbury by Mrs Waterman.

Chicago. May 25.-(UP)--Boot- lcggers are buying new shirts and speakeasy owners are replacing their nicked glasses and cracked steins in tho belief the politica, conventions this summer will re- vive the Tagging beer and liquor trade.
 A general refurbiahing is under way in speakeasies within the loop and in the districts just north, south and west. Several gaudy new cabarets opened up in the near north side over the week end. Owners admit frankly that they are angling for the convention trade.
 Special "convention cocktails" are ready for. sampling of the bars. One Is made with Bourbon whis- key base, with 'seltzer, 0 dash of Jamaica ginger and an olive. An- other, known as the Democratic Donkey" consists. of gin, a cherry, soda and enough imitation absinthe to liven up an evening.

 Greatest hope for the rescue, of the flyers lay in the possibility they might be picked up by the Flu ropa, coast guard officials felt. as- suming that the plane was in the steamship lanes when the trouble was encountered.
 A report from Burncoat Light, N. S.. told of sighting a seaplare believed to- be the 8hlp-to-shore plane, at 12:20 D. m. E.D.T.
