JUDGE CONTINUES
CASE FOR FACTS
Additional Testimony On
Circumstances, Not Eli
quet Desired in Hearing

"And did the gentleman kick the
lady while she was lying on the
sidewalk"
This question, which was put to
a witness in city court today,
brought up the subject, unofflcially
of whether a man who kicks wo-
man on the sidewalk may be prop
erly designated as a gentleman.
And whether, incidentally, woman
who is lying on the sidewalk after
she was evicted from a restaurant
because she allegedly was under the
influence, can properly be called a
lady.
The question was not solved in
court, but attaches planned to draw
up a formal query to be sent to
Emily Post, etiquette expert.
The case, which was continued
for one day, involved Louis Lauren
cell, At, of 461 North Main street
charged with asSaulting his sister
in-law last Sunday night in the
North End section. Several witnesses
testified that the siSter-in-law wa.
lying on the sidewalk, but it was
not established that the accused
kicked her in that position.
Laurencell testified he evicted hi.
relative from his restaurant because
she had previously caused disturb.
ances there, owing to drink. Tht
case was continued in order to Sc.
cure police testimony.

bank officials to emphasize the pub
lie will to save.
For the six-montlls period de-
posits rose by $109, sol to a total
of $10,589, 1897, 1927, the record for al
most 1875 years of mutual savings
banking. New York led in gains

SIS, 1863 ,537.
Assets followed the slightly rising

New York had $44,032,333; Massa-
chusetts. $22,958,570; Connecticut
So, 500, $50. The total reached SILL

The upward swing in point of de-

for the six months, reaching the new
high total of 15,756,823. The three
leading states were New York, 1885,
242; Massachusetts,, 1887; Connec-

Combined surplus of mutual inSti-
buttons decreased Sill ,708,466 in the
period under review, standing at the
total of $1,288,095, 796, or 1920 OF

of reserve afforded any similar ac-
emulation of capital. This ratio
dropped two tenths of a cent per
dollar of surplus in the six months,
thereby maintaining a little more
than IL cents added protection for
each dollar of deposits.
Continued difficulties of investing
capital were shown by the lowered
average dividend rate to 2.20 per
cent for all mutual institutions, a
decline of 6-100ths of one per cent
in the period.

Removed - Accused
Fined SIS, Costs

william Oliver, A, of Wolcott,
charged with installing a bathroom
in a Bishop street house without a
license, was fined $25 without costs
after he pleaded guilty in city court
today.
Judge Theoba1d E. Conway, point
ing out that Oliver was not new "at

ing ordinance by working without
a license.
Plumbing Inspector James R.
Walker testified Oliver installed the
bathroom in "shirtless" manner,
and the fixtures will have to be
removed.
Attorney A. Henry Weisman asked
Mr.. Walker whether he knew that
Oliver once had license, and the
inspector replied that those were
the days when anyone could get a
license by posting $500 bond"
Oliver was charged with two
counts, but Judge Conway ordered
a nolle on the charge of plumbing
without a permit. He then passed
sentence on the no-license count.

|S25,00OO ACTION
SETTLED TODAY
Local Woman Seriously
Injured In Accident
Last September

The $4,000 civil action of Helen
Betancourt Of this city against Ar
mand Garand of Quebec, Canada,
was withdrawn from the docket of
common pleas court this morning.
Terms of the settlement were not
revealed. Attorney w. K. Lawlor
represented the plaintiff.
| The litigation was based on an
automobile accident, September /,
1889, as the plaintiff was walking on
a crosSwalk near the Motor Vehicle
Department on Watertown avenue.
She was struck by a car driven by
the defendant in an alleged reck-
less manner and knocked to the
ground. She states in the complaint
that as a result of being struck her
brain will be permanently affected.
Immediately after the accident
the plaintiff was removed to the
Waterbury hospital where she was
admitted in a dazed semi-conscious
state and suffering from a large
gaping, hemorrhaging stillate LAGER
alton of the scalp, which necessi-
tated immediate surgery. She also
is alleged to have sustained multi
pie abrasions and Commissions of the
knees, forearms and right hip.
Consequently, the complaint
states, considerable fluid had to be
drained from her spine every six
hours and that she was unconscious
for a long period and needed con-
slant nursing and care. Several
other lumbar punctures had to be
performed later in order to reduce
the spinal fluid pressure, the COM
plant states. She was not released
from the hospital until October II
and as result was forced to ex-
pend considerable sums of money
for hospital and medical treatment.
