SIDEWALK FALL
 CASES CONFUSE
Conflicting Opinions on Them Add Interest to
 Legislative Rulings

Conflicting opinions handed down by superior court judges tend to make more interesting and more confusing the legal controversy as to wh Sher a special act of the 1885 Gel. cral Assembly removed liability for sidewalk injuries from the city of New Haven to the adjoining property owner. Judge Patrick B. O'S lllivan in superior court yester- day decided that 1t did not; last December Judge Edwin c. Dicken- so.l held that the city was solely re- sponsible; and only a short time ago, Judge Carl Foster held Sn the opposite direction, that an injured person could sue the owner of prop erty adjoining a sidewalk, where a fall occurs.
 It is an issue that will find final sety.ement only in the supreme co.:rss, but as yet no case has been considered of a value to warrant appeal.
 The city of Waterbury, by act of General Assembly, can be held lia- bl Tor damages only in the event 1t can be proved that nuisance. was created by its acts or failure to acs in the caring for streets. side- walks and other municipal opera tior !. Most interesting of such cases ic the one now pending trial in the superior court in which the city is he responsible for the creation of nuisance in not properly adjust ing the street lights. and in not keeping street-crossings marked plai.lly. Damages of $l0,O0O are ask cd f the city by the estate Of the late Robert James. 7-year-old boy, who was killed when struck by an aut., on East Main street. Attorney Francis Mcdonald and Attorney P. sIuale DeClcco represent the plaint.f in the interesting case.

Wife Takes Divorce De- cree Today and Decides
 10 Forgive!

HEAD TO COME ... ... ... ...
 Mrs. Fanny Eckhardt Horowitz of Derby, who refused to sanction crim- inal action for abandonment against her husband, Eli Horowitz, even at the behest of Judge Frank P. McEvoy, was today granted a divorec on the ground of desertiol. Judge McEvoy also granted her the right to revert to the use of her maiden name, Fanny Horowitz. The couple was married May 16, 1890 and the desertion took place September IS, 1883. The divorce action was un- contested. 4f,
 Judge Displeased
 Judge McEvoy heard the peti- tioner's claim of desertion by her husband, a newspaper cartoonist and artist now of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in superior court last Friday, and immediately requested that she press charges of abandon ment against him. Three years im-' priSonment is the penalty for such an action. The woman, piano teacher, refused to take such action.
 The petitioner termed her hus- band as "artistically temperament tai" and unsettled" 8 man who refused to allow himself to be "tied down with wife" After reading a letter, written by the man shortly after his desertion, in which he re- fused reconciliation, Judge McAvoy added the term, "supercilious." The letter which is dated September 27, 1883, twelve days after the date of the desertion is written by Eli Hor- owitz, 124 Park avenue, Wilkes Barre, Pa, to Mrs. Eli Horowitz Hotel Clark, Derby, Conn. It is as follows:
 Dear Fan"
 Dear Fan: Hope you are feeling fine, glad you arranged about fur niture. Thought you might miss the piano. 15 years is . long time to continue 2 habit that Is mean lngless and does no one any good. But here's . happy New Year., ,..,
 'T haven't the least desire to see you at this time. and it would be perfect waste of time to make the tedious, tiresome trip here, and what is more important 1t would be . waste of money, which you might employ towards better ends. ThisiiS no time for baby talk and romantic burlesQue. It ause- ates me. I am appreciative of your work involving the future, but you forgot to mention that we also shared board and bed.
 Well-that's the past-on with the future-you have yours and I have mine. That's the situation.
 Best O luck, < If the ex-Mrs. Horowitz should change her mind, there's a possi- bility of the judges suggestion be- coming reality.

STANTON PARK BODY
FAv0RS SCENT FARE
Association Also Opposes Allow
ing Federal Employees to Drive
Taxicabs in District.

In opposing an increase in street
car token fare from 80 to IS cents
for four tokens, the Stanton Park
Citizens Association Endorsed the
movement for universal scent fare
at its meeting-the last of the current
season-last week in Peabody School.
Feeling that Government employees
are assured of reasonable income,
the association adopted q resolution
calling for the prohibition OF their
working as taxi drivers. It was felt
that in this manner the number of
taxis would be reduced and traffic
congestion eased.
Compulsory liability insurance for
taxicabs, as would be required by q
bill pending in Congress, was also
approved. Harry M. Stull, president
OF the association, said that even q
rise in rates would not offset the
advantages to be derived from the
insurance.
Action was also taken approving
the raising of the minimum marriage
age from l6 to 18 years and the
requiring OF three-day wait between
receiving the marriage license and the
marriage ceremony.
The association opposed the bill by
Representative Schultz placing an
excise tax on District stores, and
called the bill unfair legislation,
irregularly drafted in a manner to
force chain stores out Of existence.

RESERVE WOULD T.
HALT FUND CUTS
Objection Voiced to NaW
Taking Appropriations
for Regulars.

HaVlng IN mind severe cuts which
were imposed on appropriations for thu
maintenance Of the Naval Reserve in
favor OF the regular establishments
when it became necessary to reduce
FUNDS available, the United States
Naval Reserve Officers Association
mas asked that appropriations both
Tor the Naval and the Marine Corps
Reserve be more specifically earmarked.
They asked If in the future it becomes
necessary to reduce the funds allowed
by Congress, that the Naval Reserve
not be cut by any greater percentage
than the regular establishment.
When cuts were made, transfers were
made from the Naval Reserve moneys
to the regular establishment. How.
ever, 1t has been the stand OF the regu.
lar establishment on this that 1t "a
| incumbent on those directing the
maintenance Of the fleet to keep 1t at
top-notch, and II the regular funds
are short, then they should turn to
other funds, as they did in the case
OF the Naval Reserve
Officers Of the Reserve point out IL
the funds allowed by Congress for the
Naval Reserve are earmarked more
specifically it will not be possible for
the department to engage In the
practice which has caused criticism on
the part Of the Reserve.
Pointing out that is it necessary
that the integrity of such appropria.
tions be maintained. the association
adopted the following as irreducible
minimums for which funds should be
appropriated and left intact for the
purpose intended.
Not less than 48 drills per year for
all fleet class officers and men. Not
less than IA days active training duty
with pay for all feet class officers and
men each year. Allowance Of week
end cruises without pay. but with sub
sistence allowance. Fourteen days
active training duty with pay for not
less than 25 per cent of all volunteer
officers and men each year.
Command pay for officers OF the
volunteer Reserve who organize and
command units Of the volunteer Re-
serve. Transportation and subsistence
allowance for officers and men who ac-
cept training duty without pay. Funds
for adequate District and area ad-
minttration.
Adequate compensation for injury,
disability or death. not due to their
own misconduct, for all officers and
men on active duty, with or without
pay; training duty with or without
pay. at regularly authorized drills with
or without pay, or on authorized
missions.
An adequate supply of instruction
pamphlets. books and correspondence
courses, with an arrangement whereby
not to exceed 10 per cent Of all officers
and men Of the feet and volunteer
Naval Reserve may attend. on active
duty with pay, the specialist schools
maintained for the regular Navy
Adequate and reasonable allowance
Of shipkeepers and yeomen; at least
20 per cent increase over present
allowance.
