All plans have been completed for this year's Memorial - day exercises and the veterans of the war are pa- tiently waliting Saturday morning when they will pay their annual tri- bute of respect to their departed brothers. Although the ranks of the survivors of the terrible struggle are being gradually diminished each year, Berlin can stil] boast of a good sized representation. Col. Charles M. Jarvis, marshal for the day, has issued the following or- ders in regard to the program: All veterans should be ready to léave their homes at 9:30 A M. as an automobile will call at that time. The exercises wil] open at the Ken- sington monument at 10:30 A. M, Autos should leave Kensington monument for Beckley cemetery not later than 12 M. Autos should deliver the veterans at the Berlin Congregational church by 12:45 P. M. where luncheon will be served by the Ladies' Aid society of the Berlin Congregational church. The line of march will form in front of the Berlin Congregationat chureh ready to move at 1:45 P. M The veterans will march from ths ¢hurch to Maple cemetery where the exerciseg will be held at 2 P. M. Vet- erans who feel they are physically unable to walk should advise the marshal and conveyance will be pro vided. After the services at the Maple eemetery the veterans will take au- tomobiles back to the Berlin Congre. | gatiénal church where services will bs held at 2:30 P. M. After these zer- viees the veterans will be conveyed to their hemes.

The floral committee, consisting of A. A. Weldon and E. I. Clark have arranged that the school children gather and contribute the flowers to be used for decorative purposes. These flowers are to be left at the Berlin Congregational church. The marchers will consist of the veterans, the D. A. R, Sons of Vet- erans, Boy Scouts and school chil- | dren. The veterans will be escorted | by the Sons of Veteérans and the Boy Scouts, the latter in charge of Scout- | master Fiske. The music will he | furnished by St. Paul's T. A. and B. Fife and Drum Corps of Kensing- { ton. ; Auto Smashes Buggy. An automobile belonging to Wil- ilam H. Allen of John W. Allen and | Son, New Britain, ran into a rubber tired buggy, containing Clair P. Up- son of 267 Shuttle Meadow avenue and Miss Helen Dickinson of 61 Rob- erts street, New Britain last evening about 10:30 o'clock. The accident happened on New Britain road, a short distance above the Berlin town line, both vehicles coming from Ken- sington. The buggy carriéd a reg- ulation lantern as required by the new law and as the road is well lighted at that point the cause of the smash is somewhat vague. 'The automobile struck the team from the rear, snapping the king belt. The horse ran away at once, dragging the fore wheels of the wagon with him and the occupants of the buggy were thrown into the road when the | main body of the tearm toppled over. | The horsé was stopped a short dis. | tance above the scene of the smash lnnd driven back to New Britain, ] | while the auto proceeded practically | uninjured. | Mr. Upson and Miss Dickinson had | been visiting 8. M. Cowles, an uncle | of the former and were returning to New Britain. Both were scratched and bruised by the accident, and as Miss Dickinson was in the trolley accident in Newington yesterday af- | ternoon the shock of being in two | accidents in one day is a severe one to her. Funeral of Mrs. Bushnell. The funeral of Mrs. Huber Bush- nell was held this afternoon and was largely attended by her many friends and relatives who came to pay their last respects to the highly respected deceased. The services, held at the house at 3 o'clock, were conducted by Rew. John E. Adams, pastor of the Trinity M. E. church of New | Britain, of which Mrs. Bushnell had been a member. The bearers were . I. Clark ani H. L. Porter of the G. A. R., Daniel Webhster and Walter Brown, repre- senting the Berlin Grange and George Collins and Hérbert Damon from the Sone of Veterans. The intermeént was in Maple cemetery and the Grange burial service was conducted at the grave. Play a Success, A largé and appreciative audience | ttended last night's performance of | “The Rebellion of the Daisies,” held | at Athletic hall, East Berlin, under the auspices of St. Gabriel's Guild. The parts wére portrayed by the children of the town and the youthful cast de- serves great credit for the manner in which they carried off the play. Re- freshments were served during the evening and a fair sum is expected to be realized through the entertainment. Ashes to Be Burled. The ashes of Mrs. Addie P. Ives, who was cremated at the Springfield crematory vesterday will be reéturned to the New Britain undertaker in charge of the funeral and will be later buried in Fairview cemetery. Wind Plays Havoc. The severe wind storm that bore premise of a much needed rain—buf. ouly the promise—created quite a little trouble in several parts of the town yesterday afternoon. Limbs of trees. and even some medium sized trées were toseed to the ground by the sirength of the gale. A large limb fell across the trolley tracks in front of the Berlin post office and blocked ali traffic until removed. One resi- dent had a calf tied to a young sap- ling and the bovine was peacefully riunching grass when a strong blast of wind removed the tree from its mooring. Several housewives in Ken- sington who did their Monday wash- ing yesterday are vainly scouring the neighboring country for several parts of the family apparel. The wind lifted the dust from the roads and deposited clouds of ground stone all over the town. News in Brief, A daughter was born on May 23 to Mr. and Mrs. Herbert P. Cleveland of Smyrna, N. Y. Mrs. Cleveland was formerly. Miss Naney Judd of Berlin. Miss Lottie Warren of Bpringfield is visiting Postmaster and Mrs. Henry L. Porter. Miss Warren is a sister of Mrs. Porter. The state authorities oiled part of the New Britain road today, starting at the railroad bridge in Kensington and extending toward the Hardware city. The new concrete walk in front of the bank block in Kensington was firighed yesterday afternoon by the Reéehe company, who had the contract, The walk is 60x18 feet and adds greatly to the appearance of the prop- erty. A curb has also been construct- ed in front of the walk, W. 8. Brandegee and daughter have gene to Pine Orchard for a visit of ebout two weeks.

JUDD INVITED TO REMAIN School Board Also Re-tlects Neariy s Entire Staff. ONLY TWO VACANCIES EXPECTED Oommittee Has Confidence in Mana- ger of Schools—Omne Teacher Re- signs and Southington Young L.nd_v‘ is Elected—Briefs. Orrin L. Judd, principal of local | schools and practically his entire stalf | were Invited to remain here for an- | other yeéar by the school board at u ! special meeting held last evening. The reported opposition to Mr. Judd showed but little strength, as far as| the school board was concerned, that | body endorsing the work he has done since he assumed the duties of man- ager of the schools. Contracts will be those who were in a few days and the board | expects to recelve notice of their | acceptance or declination before the June meeting. Mr. Judd and the members of his staff to whom invi- tations to return will be extended are eéxpected to accept the board's offers and there probably will be but few ¢hanges in the personnel of the force when school reopens in the fall. The school committee is well pleased with the results accomplished | by Mr. Judd and his assistants and takes little stock in the complaints that have been made concerning the former. The principal is a strong disciplinarian and his efforts to im- prove the deportment of the young- sters have sometimes evoked criti- | cism from some of their parents. | Most of the stories have been greatly | exaggerated, however, and Mr. Judd's ré-election s evidence of the confi- dence placed in him by the board. There were but few salary increases at the meeting, the wages of nearly | all the teachers having been raised a year ago. While there are com- plaints in many towns concerning the small compensation given to school teachers, there is now but little kick here, Plainville being ahead of most of the places in this locality as far as teachers’ salaries are concerned. The resignation of Miss Ruby Car- ter, one of the teachers, to take ef- fect at the close of the term, was received and accepted at the meet- ing. Two other teachers, whose names have not been given out by the board, for reasons best known to the members, will also leave this year. Unless some of those re-elect- ed decline to remain here which seems improbable, there will be but two va- cancles to fill, Miss Mildred Nelson | of Southington having been chosen last night to succeed one of the teachers who will leave. Commander’ Streeter to Speak. Frederick V. Streeter, commander | of the state department of the G. A. R., has accepted an invitation to give | a patriotic talk to the children of the local schools tomorrow afternoon at 1:30. Commander Streeter will talk under the auspices of Newton Manross post. He will tell some of his experiences during the Civil war and his entire address will be appropriate for the Memorial day season. All local veterans and the par- ents of the children who are inter- ested, are invited to listen to his re- marks. Had to Postpone Funeral, The funeral of Louis Deflet, whose body was found in the Pequabuck riv- er Saturday, which was scheduled for this morning had to be postponed ow- ing to a misunderstanding on the part of the man's relatives. W. A, Bailey and company, which had charge of the remains, was notified last night by the man's brother to send the body to Avon this morning for interment in the Catholic ceme- tery in that place. At tHe time permission had not been given by the church authorities in Avon and this morning some time after a team bearing the body haa left Plainville, word was received that the burial could not be in Avon, The undertaker sent an auto after the outfit transporting the body and had it brought back to the vault in West cemetery, It will probably remain there until tomorrow when arrangements will be made to have the burial here. Joseph Deflet, the dead brother, came to town last night to claim the body. He visited the vault in West cemetery and after viewing the remains supported H. C. Thomp- son of this place and T. H. Woodford of Unjonville in their identification. Caught 112 Shad. Local fishermen made one of biggest shad catches of the vesterday from the Scantic Broad Brook, taking 112 splendia specimens of this t ¥ member ot the finny tribe from the water. They | forwarded to re-elected with- | man’'s the season river at for distribution among their friends, having given the balance to their helpers in Broad Brook In the party were Grand Juror M A. Norton, J. J. Murphy., John Cas- sidy, ‘‘Barney Mason and Frank 8trunz and his son. The shad never ran better, ing to the Broad Brook natives, Buy three hauls of the net were made, forty shad getting entangled in the meshes in the first, thirty-eight in the second and thirty-four in the last. acord- | yesterday The fish averaged ahout six pounds each in weight.
