(IS LET GO WITH LIGHT FINE Dr, Scott and Miss Clark Tell of Work Among the Heathen in India and South Africa—Conlon Pleads Guilty to. Breach of. the Peace—Briefs. Women interested in foreign mis- sions came here today from all parts of the country to attend the semi- annual meeting of the Hartford branch of the board of missions held in thHé Congregational church. There was a large attendance when the session opened at 11 o’clock this morn- ing and theé audience was subsequently angmented by several late arrivals. The representatives of the different church societies and delegations from local churches were welcomed by the ladies of the missionary organizations of the Congregational chureh, who also took part in the exercises of the day. The morning session was given up to informal reports and a conference at which there was a discussion of the methods of work which the secre- taries are conducting. After a basket lunch which was served at noon, there was a brief re- cess to give the delegates an oppor- tunity for social intercourse. The most interesting part of the program was given at the = afternoon session. Features were addresses by Dr. Katherine Scott and Miss Evelyn Clark, two well known missionary workers. \ Much of Dr. Scott’s remarks con- cerned the needs of modern medical skill among the neglected women of India. Dr. Scott has been located at Madura, India and for over two years she was a member of the staff of the hospital in that place. There are over three million people in the district and she was the only woman physician. Her description of the people and their habits, and the work that is being done by American mis- sionarcies to improve their Hving con- ditions as well as to convert them to Christianity was highly interesting, ' Miss Clark’s address was also listen- ed to with great attention. She has been in charge of a normal school in (Natal, South Africa and'is one of the ten mission workers supported by the board in session ‘here today. She magde a strong plea for the assistance of Americans in making possible the educating of the people of that country. Conlon Fined $1 With Costs. Thomas Conlon was fined $1 and costs for breach of peace by Justice M. O. Ryder last evening, charges of drunkenness and resisting an officer having been nolled by the prosecutor. The hearing was a sequel to Conloun’s arrest Sunday night. He was ac- cused of raising a disturbance in the H. C. Thompson lumber yard and was brought to the lock-up by Con- stables Marino and Downing, the 1at- ter having come to the assistance of his brother officer when Conlon de- clined to come along peaceably. It was expected that Conlon would be represented by counsel and would fight the case. He had no lawyer In court, however, and “entered a rlea of guilty to the charge of breach of the peace. Grand Juror M. A. Norton present- ed the case for the state. Firemen’s Entertainment. Another entertainment from wnten it is expecteéd a considerable amount to be added to the . firemen’s auto fund will be raised is now being ar- ranged for by the Hose company.

The funeral of Thomas G. Rus- sell will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock from his home on East Main street and at 9:30 at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy. A high mass of requiem will be celebrated by Rev. H. T. Walsh. The burial will be in St, Joseph’s cemetery. Mr. Russell had a wide acquaint- ance and it is expected that his fu- neral will be one of the largest held in Plainville in a long time. Keep Out of Debt. The selectmen are making an earnest endeavor to keep the town from going further into debt this Vvear and they are now hopeful that they will be able to pay all bills con- tracted up to August 30 on the tax receipts. Orders for $25,000 have already been drawn, but unless the school expenses during the next two months exceed the estimates, the selectmen expect to be able to “pay their way.” During the period from September to April it was necessary to borrow $11,- 000, as the town was literally “broke” at the beginning of the fiscal year and the selectmen had to call on the banks to make it possible to pay the bills until the tax money came in. There was some talk last fall of raising the tax rate to fifteen mills, the argument being advanced that fourteen, the rate adopted, would not bring in sufficient revenue to pay expenses. As the town :is building no new roads this year, the officials now fig- ure they will be able to strike a bal- ance at the end of the year without showing an additional debt. Pleased With Results. Officers of the Business and Im- provement association and the select- men are well pleased with the re- sults thus far obtained from the clean-up campaign inaugurated on Monday. The town teams have al- ready brought a considerable ac- cumulation of rubbish to the dump- ing grounds and during the next three days it is expected several ad- ditional loads will be carted away. Rubbish was taken frém Broad and ‘Whiting streets today and tomorrow the teams will move to West Main and Washington streets. Church, Canal, Pierce, Bank and Pearl streets will be attended to on Friday and the campaign will close on Saturday when Forestville avenue and the western extremity of West Main street will be made spotless.

The lecture was held under the auspices of the grange and fol- lowed tle regular business meeting. Despite the inclement weather there was a large attendance.
