Barnum 223 MILFORD GAMER FILES Democratic Leader Says Tax Collector Was Not Injured by His Remarks. MILFORD. Dec. (By Special Correspondent.) Action has finally started In the $23,000 slander suit brought last October by Tax Collector Noyes R.

Bailey against Lawrence T. Gallagher, prominent Democratic leader and builder, and some disposition will be made of the case in the January term of the New Haven Superior court. Bailey is suing Gallagher following -statements made at a Democratic rally In which it. Is alleged that Gallagher accused Bailey of appropriating $100,000 tax money for his own use. Gallagher also claimed that the amount had been reported by the collector as uncollected.

Controversy has followed the Insinuations, and It is apparent now that the case will not be dropped as a mere argument, but will be decided one way or the other In New Haven. It has Just been learned that Gallagher filed his answer to the suit with the clerk of the Superior court the latter part of last week. In the report the builder denies that he made such a statement, denies that ms statements had any meaning in connection with the appropriation and use of town money by Bailey for his personal usfc, denies that the words he uttered were false and malicious, and also denies Injury of Mr. Bailey's reputation. Recalls Words He lel.

Gallagher sets forth that what he did say was: "Now, there is the question ot unpaid taxes. This is something which the Board of Finance Is talking over tonight. Last year there was unpaid taxes, and sheriffs and policemen are now chasing around trying to collect some of these unpaid taxes. "They have been chasing around for weeks without much success, and In a great many cases people have receipts or cancelled checks to show that they paid their taxes. Judging from this, I should think, that the amount which has bee.

paid taut appears on the books as unpaid, would probably amount to nearly $100,000. How can the books be balanced if this money has been paid in but nevertheless appeals on the books as unpaid? They keep no cash book, and how can they balance their accounts if there is anything like this amount of money that has been paid and not been credited?" Error Is Corrected. Through a typographical error in Monday's Telegram, a line was inserted in the Item concerning the forming of a new women's social club, which met at Mrs. Louis Wolfson's home oil Friday, reading that the sum ot $47,000 was granted for the evening. The mention of the $47,000 was connected with the building of the new Devon school auditorium, and in no way has anything to do with the new social club.

Chemical No. 1 of Arctic company No. 1 was called to West River street, Monday noon (it 12:10 o'clock to tend a brush fire opposite the residence of Wellington Bristol. A bit humor was Introduced into the situation when the firemen arrived to extinguish the fire. Some unknown person, whose name was not taken by the firemen, was cooking a ham, and the smoke- eaters mad i attempts to extinguish the blaze and smoke which was spreading, the man produced a pitchfork, and attempted to prohibit the firfmen's endeavors.

However, the members of the fire company outnumbered the man. and easily "convinced" him that his tactics were not those desired. Legion Entertains Auxiliary. Mllford post, American Legion, entertained the auxiliary of the post on Monday evening at headquarters on New Haven avenue. It was acclaimed as one of the finest socials ever given by the organization.

A bountiful pancake supper was enjoyed, the chefs being Russe'l Norris, Chester N. Bailey and Leigh Pulver. Edwin L. White, state adjutant, gave an Interesting talk to those at the gathering, while Edwin Mallory entertained with several monologues. Music was supplied during the evening.

The Mllford Chamber of Commerce met in the Red Men's hall on Broad street, Monday evening, and discussed plans for the coming year, several suggestions being offered for publlr Improvements during 1928. President Simon Lake was unable to preside, being out of town. The group which assembled for the meeting later convened at the tea room of Mrs. Inez W. Boettcher.

and through the kind Invitation of Secretary Fred W. Lyon, enjoyed a fine repast. The condition of Patrolman Patrick J. Casey of the Mllford Police department, who has been quite ill at his home In Avon street. Devon, for few weeks, has not improved to any appreciable extent, and it has been decided that an operation will be necessary In order to assure recovery.

Officer Casey was removed to St. Vincent's hospital. Bridgeport, nearly two months ago. and was held at that Institution for six weeks, being under observation for ulcers on the stomach. It was at first thought, that an operation would be necehsriry, but Mr.

Casey was discharged responding to medical treatment, the operation not being deemed necessary. Tlie policeman resumed his in Devon. but a short time ago he was taken 111 again, and removed to his home, where he is still confined. It is not i nitely decided when the operation will take place, Will Present Plavlpt The playlet. "Mrs.
