BORAH TERMS
WORLD COURT
PLAN A SCHEME
Condemns It as a Scheme by
Harding to Slip Into the
League of Nations.
ST. LOUIS. May 19.o—-The proposal
of President Harding for the United
States to become a member of the
court of international Justice was
gondemned as a scheme to coax this
county into the League of Nations.
by Senator William E. Bomb of Irahp.
in an address here last night.
«_ Senatof Borah insisted that the
world court is an integral part. of the
League of Nationa’that the league is
its foundation and thatthe proposal
for the United States to enter it is for
no other reason than to get the coun-
try into the league to bear the lea-
gue's financial burden.
"I can not. understand the argument
of those who say that we should go
into a. part of the League of Nations
and stay out of the rest of it." he as-
sorted.
Prediction that President Harding
would he renominated by acciamation
by the Republican National conven-
tion “but upon an air tight platform"
was made by the Senator in an in-
terview. He'dntimated that the in-
ternational court proposal would be
an issue in-framingrthe Republican
platform for the 1924 presidential
election.
"If anybody thinks that he can win
in 1924 by uprooting a system of for-
eign policies as old as the government
itself, let him get upon a political
platform and try to carry the elec-
tion" Senator Borah continued.
Disgrossing from his prepared ad-
dress. the Senator denounced the
French invasion of the Ruhr and,pic-
tured Premier Poincare of France as
”a menace to the peace of the world."

The Department of Motor Vehicles

the peltce warnings and prosecution.
' The Connecticut markers if placed
in the correct position and kept in-
tirely free from dust arethe most
easily read markers iii the country.
The most recent tests of markers
showed that the markers of this state
received a grading of 68 perfect read-
ings out” of 60 tests. 'New ”York was
second with 47 and Massachusetts re-
ceived a. grade of H.
The Connecticut motor vehicle law

Chief of Ponce Williamvll. Penning-
ton and Patrolman Albert. Ruler.
while at his home.
It is alleged in thewrit which was
issued by Prosecuting Attorney Cra-
mer, and upon which Williamswas ar.
rested that on September 22. 1020. he
married wife number one in Union
City .thls state. On Februtry 7 of this
year. he married Lillian Leg of Sau-
gstese, N. Y.. in this city. The couple
were married by the Rev. George B.
Tompkins 'of the Nopwalk Methodist
church.
Mrs. Williams number one has been
living at the home of William's par-
ents in Wilton during the pastfew
months. Recently she asked that Wil-
liams be placed under arrest on a non-
support charge and it was during the
investigation that was being con-
ducted into these charges that the
fact was brought out that Williams
was s. bigamist.
Mrs. .Willlams. number one. was st
the downtown police station this
morning with her two charming chi]-
dren. but Mrs. Williams number two
did not put in an appearance.
While in the cell at the police sta-
tion last eye‘s. William's admitted
marrying both of the women. but
stated that he felt sure that they
would both forgive him.
The second child was born to Wil-
liams and Mrs. Williams number one
kbout the same time that Williams
married Miss Legg. At the time of the
second marriage Mrs. Margaret Wil-
