delightful rendering of these plays.
, Her selections last evening for the
Hillside audience were Barrie's latest

‘will be represented.

The ob ects of this league will be to

waterways connecting our b.\~s and-
harborstio encourage the study of

The agitation which promises torev
suit in the organisation of the league,
is the outcome of the enactment of
a law at the..laatsossion of the legisll
lature which provides for the regis-
tration of all power boats, and the
payment of a tee with each registra-
l. on.

Since the enactment law, the boat.
men of the State have been indignant

at what they call "the unjust taxa-
reglstratlon'of the boats and the pay»
ment of the“‘fee. and,,they claim that.
the law is not constitutional. However,
there will be no session of the Legis-
lature wherein the law may .be
amended or repealed until 1917. and,
there appears no alternative except to.
abide by the provisions of the law. t .

They believe, however. that with
the organisation of the Connecticut
Waterways league, the interests oi”
the boaimen R the State can be better
protected in the filament: that such
a league will have pOWer to prevent
the enactment of any morc‘socalltu

Testimony in the suit of Harry 1).
Miller against James W. Morton and
others to foreclose on a mortgage on
property on Fair-field avenue. Bridge-
port, was given before Judge Case in
the Civil Superior Court yesterday
and the court reserved decision.

The facts in the case narrowed
down to the question of whether or
not Miller agreed to assign the mort-
gage of Alfred E. Austin of Norwalk.
Edward A. Godfrey of the Blue Rib-
bon Auto & Carriage company. Bridge-
port, says that Miller so agreed while
the latter denied the allegation.

The original mortgage was for
$4,800 but of this amount. $800 and
interest was paid by the Blue Ribbon
concern. The mortgage was due on
June’ZG. N13. and Edward A. God‘
trey, whole president of the Blue
Ribbon plant. asked Miller to extend
the e of payment folk one month.
He testified yesterday that his con
cern was ready to pay the amount aml
interest in June if forced to do so, but
that the company had spent more
money than it had contemplated ih
making improvements to its factory
and therefore” did not have any too
much cash on hand. He said he had
arranged with Mr. Austin to take the
mortgage on assignment from Miller
and the latter had agreed to that
form of action but early in July he
refused to carry out the alleged agree
ment.

Miller testified he had no knowledge
of any assignment of the mortgage
un'tii‘the early part of July and that
he did not intendsssigning it to any-
one. but was ready to release it upon
rfceivlng the amount due from tile
Blue-Ribbon concern... ‘

the State will be willing to contribute
such an amount annually to‘ inspire
greater protection to themselves and
their property. and to obtain many
needed. improvements in and about
the waters of the State. . ,_

it is ,expected that nearly every‘
host club in (Connecticut will send a
representative or two to the meeting'
for the organisation of the league
which will be held on November 10. l
