 Tn their action the association claims that Leary expended $6O0,- 900 in excess of legal appropriations, and therefore is personally liable.
 The application to amend their complaint with an additional count is seen as a move in answer to the demurrer which Leary filed recently, in which he claimed the association had no right to file suit against him. He contended that the city was the only authority with that right.
 The amended complaint would set up that Leary violated his duties as controller and as a result the city was cheated and defrauded. It sets forth that the Good Government Association comprises 2,000 rnem- bers, all citizens of the city. It is claimed that as citizens they will have to pay taxes to offset the over- expenditures. It also points out that

Indications that charges of oper- Ating horse race booking estab- llshment will be lodged against one or moro of the 54 men arrested Sep tember 2 in the local drive on policy and lottery operations, developed in superior court today
 Several of the men appeared in court before Judge Frank P, McEvoy today seeking the return of several articles of merchandise and money which were conflscated by the raid ing officers. Tn several cases Judge McEvoy ordered the goods returned when States Attorney Fitzgerald eX- plalned that he made no claim that 1t was directly connected as evidence in the cases,
 Horse Racing
 Fourteen slips containing horse plays for Saratoga Springs, Suffolk Downs, Narragansett and Marlboro tracks were exhibited in court this morning by MT. Fitzgerald, In con- ncction with the request of Joseph Brown, 47, of l60 East Main street that Sl24.i0 taken from his store during the drive, be returned to him, Tho request was denied,
 States Attorney Fitzgerald Is .nt- tempting to connect that $l24l0 to the horse race betting business, and 1t was in this connection that he displayed the race slips,
 Brown, who Is under arrest on charge of operating lottery, con- tends that the money had no con- nection with horse race betting, and gave vigorous denial when MT Fitzgerald asked him, "You were running a book, weren't you MT Brown2"
 He said that he accepted money from several friends and bet 1t for them when he went to the tracks, He made freouent visits to the tracks, he said. The bets could be relayed from Narragansett to any of tho other tracks where destr- able horse was running, according to Brown, and for this reason he accepted bets for almost all tracks
 20 "Plays"
 cne of the bet sheets had 20 or moe plays on 1t, Brown said that the fellow he gave the bets to at the track promised mo per cent"
 Brown said he was not In his store at the time the money and sheets were confiscated. His wife wal present, He said that the $l2k.l0 represented a portion of q larger sum which had been obtained fron the Prudential Insurance Company, and was for use in pay ing bills, The money was in tho safue pocketbook with the racing sheets, according to state Trooper Philip Schwartz Of the Hartford barracks, who made the confisca- ton, Schwartz testified today that Mrs. Brown told him the money had been saved by her and was to Dc used to pay the rent,
 Reading the law pertaining to such money seizures, Judge Me- Evoy said, When any money shall have been seized Cn connection With such casesl such money shall be divided equally between the state and town involved"
 Tn view of the fact that the amount Is substantial, Judge Me- Evoy ordered Mir. Fitzgerald to maintain the $i24,i0 separate from other moneys, and continued the matter pending the outcome of further proceedings,
 A Colt revolver was ordered re. turned to Anthony and Salvatore

CAKE THRILLS CHILDREN
Birthday Party Saved As Phone Call Brings
 Recipe Just in Time

Norwalk, Conn.,, September 12-A Nor- walk mother, who was trying to mix . cake from memory for her fve-year-old daughter, noticed that the color was not the same as the last time she had made it. A telephone call to her neighbor re. vealed that she had included less choco. late than the original recipe called for. The mistake was corrected in time.
 Indispensable" Says Mother "With children in the household, don't see how any woman can get along with out telephone service" she commented later. "So many little unexpected things happen, a telephone is almost ne- eessity."
 Mgr. McGOrty Cites Other Uses When F. J. McGorty, Norwalk telephone manager, heard the story, he said, "I believe men appreciate . telephone in the home as much as women. Odd jobs or new opportunities come so often by telephone. Men like to know, too, that in case of emergency help is as near as the telephone. Any telephone business ofiiee--or any telephone employee-wilf give you full information about telephone service for your home" The Southern New England Telephone Company.

 This will be my sixth B. A. A. mar athon. finished 32nd in 1888, 28th in 1884, 18th in 1885, first in 1886. Last year I did not finish.
 I began running at IA and used to race barefooted. The year I won, wore handmade shoes and fin- ished the race with no blisters. l haven't done much training yet for this years race but I am in better condition than was year ago.
 l am 23 years old and an Ameri- can Indian, Narragansett tribe. I am five feet, nine inches tall and weigh 148 pounds. have one little boy, the future marathon champ My tribal name is Deerfoot.
 The year I won the race, I ran each mile in about five and one half minutes. That's about the speed I'll go this year.
