The offenders were Albert Gaudette and Miriam Perkins of Bridgeport and William V. Brady of New Haven, all arrested yesterday for violation of the muffler law. The trio was held up late yes- terday afternoon by Sheriff James -, Clark and several other local officers ‘who were stationed along the highway below Berlin. The arrests were made at the hill near C. F. Muller's to- bacco farm, a short distance from Durkee's corners. The' sheriff ana #onstable Harry Chapman testified that Gaudette and Perkins were speeding along with the mufflers of their machines wide open. The de- fendants both pleaded not guilty, Perkins claiming that his single cylin- \ def machine was running poorly yes- erday, his épark being low and the belt slipping continually. At the top of the hill the engine picked up ana several heavy explosions resulted, but ag far as the muffler was concernea Perkins denied that he had openea #t. He has been operating his ma- chine ahout three weeks and this was his first offense. Gaudette testified that his one- cylinder machine makes as much noise with the muffler closed as when open. He stated that he and Per- kins wefe returning to Bridgeport from Windsor Locks and on svexamination Prosecuting Gibney caused the prison~r tradict himself on severa' no'nts in his testimony. He has been running a machine for two vears and this was nlso his first offense. He denied hav- g his muffler open. Brady told a different tale. He ad- mitted his guilt from the first, stat- Ing that he had been stalled by an automobile for several hundred yards the machine blocking his progress ana gkeeping him. from passing. Finally as a last resort he opened his muffier for a brief spell and by this noise was able to attract the autoists and pass by them. Just as he passed the ma- rhine the officers stepped out and ar- rested him. He admitted the offense and stated that this was his first after everal years of motorcycling. After hearing all testimony Judge G old imposed a fine of $1 and on Gaudette and Perkins and ed Brady to go after paying the fees. « The judge will com- Attorney to con- cross- | municate with the secretary of state in regard to the licenses of the offenders. Another case scheduled for this mcrning’s court was that of Mike Hammel, arrested for driving a spring wagon at night without a lighted lan- tern, as required by law. Hammel is a driver for P. 8. McMahon, the New Britain theatrical man and as he was ing and did not show up, the local authorities are going to use more con- vincing means to have him before the judge tomorrow morning. Berlin has long been speeding motorists who are continu- te occur most frequently on Sunday, the police are going to keep a strict watch on the speed centers during the present season. Several narrow escapes from accidents have been re- ported and the authorities are out to lessen such dangers. Local Corps Wins Prizes. The drum corps of St, Paul's Y. M. T. A. & B society of Kensington, re- turned early this morning from Jersey City, N. J., with a few fresh laurels gathered at the national convention of fifers and drummers held im that city Saturday and Sunday. Clarence Walker of New Britain, baton swinger of the corps won the American cham- rionship in the twirling contest, de- feating a field of some of the best baton swingers of the country. This event is always a big issue at the an- nval convention and the fact that its twirler won is a big feather in the hat of the local corps. The drummers also won second prize in the drum- ming contest, an event that was en- tered into by every organization. pres- ent. The corps is highly elated over itc success and deserves just ¢redit for the fine work at the convention. Civil Sult in East Berlin, Dr. T. C. Hodgson of East Berlin has brought a suit against Géorge Cole for professional services ren- dered. Cole claims that he and his daughter performed varlous tasks for the doctor for which they were not pald. The doctor treated the Cole family, which was recently visited by a siege of diphtheria and rendered a bill for his services. Cole offered himr an amount qual to the difference be- tween the medical bill and the charge for his (Cole’s) work but the doctor refused to accept this sum and imme- dietely brought legal proceedings to recover the amount. The case will be tried Thursday morning, June 4, in | the local cot Judge Cramer of Fortland appearing for Cole and At- torney Arthur Upson of New Britain representing the plaintiff. { Funeral This Morning. The funeral of Mrs. Amy L. Smith was held at 10 o'clock this morning from the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. R. Starr of Hudson street. After the services at the house the remains were conveyed to Suffield, the former home of the deceased, where the Lurial was held. Berlin Protests Increase., Selectman W. H.

So fierce was the conflagration that the build- ing was completely consumed in about on the property place, on took fire an hour from its discovery. Insurance covers a part of the total damage of approximately §$4,000. The place ‘was owned and occupied by Robert Gra- ham, formerly of New Britain ave- nue. The blaze was first seen by a fire- man on a passing freight train. He his train and blew several the whistle to spread the He then left the train ana went to the house, which was by that time in a lively blaze in the rear, but found that the family dog had been before him. The animal had broken the door and awakened the ocs cupants, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Graham® and their three children and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hayden and two children They had only time to a stopped Flasts on alarm, in own escape, and practically of the furnishings of the house wa: saved.

The club has had a most successful vear and has served to keep the men of the parish Interested in church work. Want Oil For Roads. There is considerable local criticism of the highway vommissioner's office for its failure to provide oil for the trunk highways which pass through the center of the town and unless something is done by the state with- ir a few days there is talk of asking the selectmen to have the streets about the center sprinkled with water, the expense to be paid by the prop- erty owners in the area benefited. The streets in the center are thick with dust and with eevry breeze their is a cloud of dirt whirled through the air and into the stores. Merchants are greatly annoyed by the conditions and they have registered several pro- tests against the neglect of the of- ficials who have charge of the mat- ter. Death of Former Resident. Mrs. Thomas Nolan, a former well known resident of this place, died Saturday night at her home in Southington, She had been ill for but a brief period and her death was a big surprise and shock to her friends in Plainville. Mrs. Nolan's mother died sudden- ly here a few years ago and since that time her daughter has been in Southington. Mrs. Nolan is survived by her husband, who is a well known contractor, Livery Horse Dead. A horse owned by a Meriden livery man was taken {ll while being driven through Plainville Memorial day, dy- ing at Hart's stables, where it was taken by the young couple who had hired it for the day. The animal’'s death was due, it is thought, to indigestion and there was no evidence that it had been abused. Crowds at Compounce. Nearly twenty thousand people, it is estimated, paid a visit to Com- pounce Saturday or Sunday, and the owners of that resort report the larg- est business of any two consecutive days in their recollection, Both the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company and the Connecti- cut company reaped a big harvest of nickels, and while there were several extra cars run on both days it was impossible to give anything like ac- commodations during the rush hours. Out-of-town people waited in Plain- ville for some time before they could get transportation, most of the cars heing taxed to their utmost capacity by the time they arrived here Get Oil For Amiesite. Shipments of oil to be used in mix- ing amiesite for East Main street have been received by the Connecticut and Rhode Island company, which has the contract for laying the pave- ment and this morning workmen started preparing the material which is to be used on the highway.

Now that summer is arriving on the tango-heels of spring, all nature cuts | up capers. This appears to have been | esfecially true in Kast Cleveland, where the dogs have been biting free- Iy of late. Not that there has been any mad dog scare; but canine ex- | uberance has resulted in infantile lacerations, and thereby hungs this somewhat stubby tale. An East Cleveland mother called Chief Stamberger on the 'phone some time ago. “A little dog has bitten my child,” she explained.. It does not | seem serious, but to be on the safe | side I wish that you would keep the | dog under observation for the proper period of time, to ascertain whether it has rabies. The chief detailed a policeman and called up a doctor, and these two | were sent to the given address to ap- | prehend a certain Alredale terrier and keep it under observation for ten days. The cop and the doc went to the aldress and demanded the dog This dog’s owner made an awful roar —she claimed that her little pet had | never bitten anybody. But the majesty of the law and the authority | of raedicine combined were too much | for her. The little dog had to be sur- | rendered. When the period of observation was | over and the dog had developed noth- | ing more alarming than an increased appett o, broken Feme tles were re- newed. It wasn't till then that it was discovered that the policeman and the doctor had gone to the wrong house They had put an innocent black-and- tan in durance vile, while the sus- pected Airedale had run at large. | However, neither the bond nor the | free had developed any symptoms. | Each for His Own Profession. “When good fellows get together,” particularly if they are of different callings and inclined to be ”s]-nrnn”‘ the result may be interesting, as is| shown by an incident mentioned by the | New York correspondent of the Pitts- | burg Dispatch: Four men, a lawyer, a doctor, a banker and a merchant, sat down to play a little game of poker in the doctor's apartments, not far from the white lights of Broad way, a few nights ago During the game the banker, who had a sore throat, asked the doctor to recom- mend a cure The doctor obliged, and then reaching over he took n blue chip from the banker's pile and added it to his own. “What's the idea”" demanded the banker. "My usual fee for medical advice,” replied the doctor. A few minutes later the doctor asked the lawyer a ques- tlon inveolving a point of law The Jawyer rendered an opinfon. Then reaching over he helped himself to a blue chip from the doctor's stack “My legal fee,” he explained. It was time for a little refreshment. “Just leave your cards and chips where they are,” said the doctor-host, “and we'll adjourn to the buffet for a bite to eat. When they had returned to the card room to resume their game the doctc calmly helped himself to three blue chips from the lawyer's stack. “What's the idea now?" inquired the lawyer. “That's for the .cocktail” said the doctor. “You cannot around to my house charging for legal advice and expecting refreshments gratis. You've got to pay for what vou drink And the next mor ing the lawyer approached the doc- tor's house with an officer and had | the doctor arrested for selling liquor without a license.
