Ten Norway Maples Will Be Planted Tomorrow.—.Aged .Woman Falls Down Stairs—Worthingtons Defeat- ed by Independents—Brief Items. '™ After a trial of about two hours’ du- “ ration in the Berlin police court this . morning, Joséph Dowling of Crom- #well, a commission flower peddler .in the employ of Magnus Pearson, the | ‘Cromwell florist, was convicted on a eharge of having violated the law re- garding lanterns on vehicles. Judge George Griswold imposec a rnine of two dollars and costs, but suspended the dine on payment of actual costs, $ 3 While the testimony of all witnesses, “both for the state and defense, proved Meonclusively that Dowling was guilty, i 'the trial was made long and interest- .Ing by disputes over minor technicali- ties and an eloquent appeal by Judge Dempsey of Middletown, who ap- Ipeared for the accused. After quite a chase, Dowling was «.r- rested late Saturday night in front of ! Mechanics’ hall by Deputy Sheriff James Clark- - He was ariving a three /spring business wagon. According to \witnesses for the'defense, a lively ar- ‘gument ensued in which much profan- Alty was heard. Sheriff Clarke allowed %im to proceed on his way after “in- lviting” him te be present in court this morning. The sheriff’s testimony went to show “that Dowling tried to race with his Shorse, upon perceiving that he was being followed. The officer was Ariv- " ing in his carrfage with Tax Collector I Elmer E. Austin. When prisoner was inclined to be saucy, " ¥stated the sheriff, and was about to ' give a fictitious nawie, when one cf the youngsters with him objected and told the officer the correct names of all. Both boys, Stanley Pearson, aged “twelve, and Arthur Bloomberg, aged thirteen, testified, after it had been _proven that they understood the grav- ity of taking the oatn. Their stories differed in many re- spects to that related by Tax Col- lector Austin and Sheriff Clark. The boys stated that there were no ights on the sheriff’s buggy and “Judge Dempsey argued that it was | “poor policy’ for an officer, Who was “itbout to make an arrest, to be violat- ng a law himself. The sheriff proved, (however, that his lantern had been knocked off while driving over a rut the roadway, and that he held the i jantern with his hand at the side ot & e buggy, in such a maner as to be ble from both sides. The law, regarding lanterns on vehicles, was amended at the last seés- ion of the general assembly, and this the first case tried since. When the state had concluded sum- up the facts of the case, Judge v caught the | Dempsey made an eloquent plea, in which he stated that it was necessary for the court to prove that several minor facts of the law were true be- fore sentence could justly be im- posed. He asserted that the statutes must be proved by evidence and not by presumptious, referring to the fact that the state had not brought out the time of sunset on the night of the arrest. Prosecuting Attorney William R, Gibney promptly retaliated and a hot argument ensued. In. passing judgment, wold said that, while the evidencel had been of a conflicting nature, it had been proven, without any reason- able doubt, that the accused had vio- lated the law in question, which was passed for the preservation of proper- ty and the safety of drivers. 8 The law requires that all vehicles, other than motor vehicles, having springs or rubber tires, shall display lights, which can be seen from a dis- tance of 100 feet from both directions, East Berlin Property Sold.

At the Middlesex hospital in Middle- town today, it was said that the five- year-old Hungarian youth who was run down and injured yesterday by an auto owned by John H. Trumbull of this place, was resting comfortably and is apparently in no danger. The little fellow is evidently suffering from bedy bruises and an examinatiion failed to reveal any internal injuries. The boy is known to the hospital authorities as “Johnnie,” They have been unable to get his name from him and his parents have not as vet put in an appearance. The accident occurred yesterday af- ternoon on the Cromwell road near the railroad crossing. From all ac- counts, Mr. Trumbull was not at all to blame. The little fellow was play- ing by the roadside and as the Trum- bull car approached he suddenly dashed into the highway, making it impossible to avoid hitting him\ Mr. Trumbull rushed the boy to the hospital in his auto and after seeing that his injuries were attended to, drove to the police station where he reported the accident. Williams Back in Asylum. Irving B. Williams is again an in- mate of the Connecticut hospital for the Insane at Middletown. He:' was taken to that institution yesterday by Constable Cornelius Downing, acting on instructions from Selectman John- son. Since he made his getaway from the town home in New Britain, the day following his transfer from the asylum, Williams has been living with his aunt in Waterbury. During the past few days he has been making considerable trouble and yesterday the selectman was advised that the town would have to do, something with him. Mr. Johnson and Officer Downing went to Waterbury later in the day and persuaded Williams to return to Middletown. Snake Hunters Have Success. The White Oak Rattlesnake club went on a hunting expedition yester- day and on their return exhibited seven good-sized reptiles which they had captured on the mountain ledges near the White Oak stone quarry. Four rattlesnakes, two red adders and a huge black snake were shown as evidence of their skill in hunting the venomous creatures. The captures were made by Leland Hart, Clarence Hosford and ‘‘Barney” Mason. The snakes were found on their ledges, where they were taking sun baths, having apparently come out of their winter’s hibernation- with- in a few days, A few other “crawi- ers” were discovered, but they man- 2ged to get away. One of the rattlers was over two feet long and carried thirteen rattles in its wake. The black snake meas- ured five feet eight inches from head to tail. The club is planning for another hunting trip next Sunday and it is expected that their forces will be greatly augmented by that time. Entertainment Postponed.

Again Proves Worth as Light Wea- ther Flier. Bristol, R. I, May 11.—The cup sloop Resolute gave further proof as a’ consistent light weather yacht yes- terday in a five hour trip with De- signer Nat Herreshoff, Robert W. Emmons 2d, George Cormack, George E. Nichols, John Parkinson and Charles Francis Adams 2d on board. Nothing could stop her, not even a lack of wind, at the start a few minutes before 10 o'clock. Passing the Pappasquash bell buoy in a mere drift, the topsail filled while other sails slatted, she quickly reached the off rig and beat surely but slowly to Newport, the light air . being from southwest, but often’ baffling. The spinnaker and balloon jib were set and taken in off Dyer’s Island and Resolute, taking the wind from the northwest, fetched her mooring on a reach. Messrs. Emmons and Cor- mack stated afterward that the Reso- lute is working admirably. Other tests will be had this week in Nar- ragansette Bay, and outside of New- port. AUTOS TO RENT By Hour or Day. J.

Ike Masolian, who gave his age as nineteen when arrested and sixteen in police court this morning, Wwas fined $15 and costs for the theft of a bicycle from Stephen Dudack, a well known ball player, by Judge James T. Meskill. Dudack placed the wheel in the cel- lar of his home, 14 Beatty street, last Friday and found it missing when he went to get it vesterday. Later in the day he saw Masolian riding it at the corner of Main and Lafayette streets and stopped him. Masolian was es- corted to police headquarters where he told Officer Bamtorth he had hired the wheel for a couple of hours for twenty-five cents. He was locked up. Considerable difficulty was experi- enced in court in securing an inter- preter who understood the Persian language. One well known . citizen was rejected by Judge Meskill. An- other volunteered to act and his term of office lasted for about two minutes. He repeated the charge of theft to the prisoner after it had been read by Clerk Andrew. Masolian gave a lengthy reply. “He says he is not guilty,” said the interpreter. The in- terpreter was questioned closely and he admitted that Masollan had told him of going into Dudack’s cellar and taking the wheel. The inter- preter was ordered out of the case. Finally Baba Y. Jones, the Myrtle street merchant, was secured. He talked with the prisoner, who ad- mitted going into Dudack's cellar yesterday and taking the wheel with- out permission of the owner. Was Taking “French Leave.” Wadislaw Tomaszeski was fined $5 for drunkenness and was allowed to go to the police office to get a bond which he had filed, saying that he would pay his fine. He failed to re- turn and Chief Rawlings caught him traveling down Commercial street. He was brought back and paid his fine. Made Trouble at Home.
