 Proceedings

Starbuck Sprague of this city and the Starbuck Sprague O., of this city, were victors yesterday in an injunction action brought against them by the Sprague Electrical Sup plies, Inc, according to a ruling issued in superior court by Judge Kenneth Wynne.
 The Sprague Electrical Supplies, Inc, brought the action claiming it sustained monetary reverses after the defendant reentered business under his own name. It was claimed that in selling the assets of his previous business he had agreed not to enter the trade. When Starbuck Sprague was head of the Sprague Electric Supplies, Inc, 1t went into receivership and the assets were sold to creditors. Subsequently MT. Sprague became associated with a new company. known as Starbuck sprague Co., another electrical sup- ply company.
 Judge Wynne ruled that sprague had not agreed to refrain from business. He also said that the test of the case was the showing of financial loss. ''rhe stubborn fact is." nc said. "that no damage could be shown"

 London, May 25.-Maybe Adolf Hitler has heard the yarn about the man who went to his doctor in great pain. He said he did not care to live.

 Concluded the doctor: Maybe you are right. I don't see why you should care to live"
 REGULAR
 GALLANT
 Adolf the Great in the past has been reputed to be very much like that man.
 But now he seems suddenly to have come alive. Miss Marian Verne, a pretty nineteen-year- old brunette American dancer has drawn him out of his misanthropic shell. Until recently, she was the star dancer in Midnight Melody" most successful of Berlin reviews.
 Hitler blew in one night and liked her so well in her act that he came back two more times. He had her presented to him. He sent her flow- CTS. He did all the correct, decent, gallant things. He spoke about her to Fritz Fischer who is responsible for 8 revival in Munich of Franz Yehar's famous "Merry Widow"
 Fischer put her in the show. Re- gently Hitler, all dolled up in din- ner jacket, instead of his usual brown coat plus swastika, attended the show for the sixth time.
 The Fuehrer's applause led all the rest. He beat merry tune with his hands. He sent Miss Verne a huge bouquet. And later, he gave mid- night supper to the entire cast of

DEFENDANT GETS
 COURT JUDGMENT.
Road Builders $2O, 900 Suit Against Highway
 Department Ended

Judge Robert L. Munger in su- perior court yesterday entered Judgment for the defense in the $20,000 action of the Barbara & D'Aurio O., Waterbury road build CTS, against the state highway de- partment.
 An alleged excess of work on the construction of a road in Sterling, which the states engineers had al- legedly failed to outline to the plaintiff, was the basis of the liti- gation. When the bid was placed, the contractor claimed, he had no knowledge of a condition requiring the use of 12,345 cubic yards of fill.
 The highway department rnain- tained that its estimates revealed the amount of construction required under the contract.
 Judge Munger ruled that the pro- ject, according to the contract, was to have been completed by August 5, 1892, and that the plaintiffs had not given notice of the extraordin- ary work until November, 1892.
