Berlin News _ FONSTABLE CHAPMAN ASSAULTED BY NEGRO y Struck in Fage While Armlma tored Lawbreaker. OFFICER ASSISTED BY MOTORMAN Assailant and Comrade Pay Fines and Heavy Costs in Court—Signal Sys- - tem Affected By Lightning—St. Paul's. Lawn Fete Tomorrow. Claiming that colored men are en- titled to as much but no more respect than white men when allowed to as- soclate with them in public places of thiy vicinity, which privilege is denied them in their own states, Prosecuting Attorney William H. Gibney recom- mended in the Berlin police court this morning that Philip Claybrook and Peter Blue, both colored, be sent to jail for assaulting Officer Harry Chap- man in Kensington last evening, be- cause of fancled grievances. The _prisoners barely escaped jail terms when they were able, with great dif- “ficulty, to borrow enough money to pay their ten dollar fines and costs. According to the testimony of wit- nesses, Blue resisted arrest in a Ken- sington saloon last evening, striking Officer Chapman in the race a number of times before the latter succeeded, with the aid of a trolley motorman and several townspeople, in hand- Jéffing him. His comrade, Claybrook, is said .to have grabbed a chair and attacked those assisting the officer in making his arrest. Peace was not re- stored in Kensington untl both' of- fenders had been lodged in the town lockup, ‘When he appeared in court this Forning Claybrook was inclined to be saucy in his answers to the prosecut- ing attorney. After being reprimand- ed.and reminded that the matter was not so big a joke' as he seemed to ,think, he decided to ve less evasive in_his answers, admitting statemenus which he had denied previously. The row is sald to have started when Blue flared up at the use of the ®vord “nigger” by William Luby while engaged in a discussion with Patrick Maloney on the Irish Home ltule situa- tion and the present condition of the south in this country. The colored mahn became very abusive and threat- ened dire things. Officer Chapman, who happened to be present, explained to Blue that the remark was not made as an insult to him, but was unable to convince him. Before the constable had finished his statement he received '$ blow on the forehead. He hastened to inform his assailant that he was a custodian of the peace, demanding that he either become more orderly or submit to arrest. At this juncture, it is said that; Claybrook, who had been sitting nearby, leaped to his feet and wiela- »&d a chair at everyone who came near him as he attempted to release his comrade. Still fighting ilke mad, both were forced out of the saloon door into the street. A passing mo- torman, who is a special officer.on Lawn Fete Tomorrow.

Berlin girls fainted from early this morning when a bolt of lightning ran along the trolley wire directly over the car in which they were riding, burning out the motor and bringing the car to a sud- den stop. They were revived in a short time and continued on their way to work in New Britain. Their names could not be learned. This accident, coupled with the fact that one car could not pass under the Kensington railroad bridge because of the water and mud which had ac- cumulated there, delayed schedule for about twenty minutes and sevéral people were late in arriving at their places of employment. the has Three PUBLIC GOLF CLUB! fright National Association Will Have About Chicago, July 7.—Fifty public golf course clubs of the United States and Canada have signified their intention of joining the Association®of Public Golf Clubs, it was announced here today from the headquarters of the Jackson Park Golf club.

PRISONER HAD LAPSE OF MEMORY Officer Marino and Have “old Offender™ Tussle at Center—Grange Meeting to Open Early—Pythians to Nominate Tonight—Bricfs. Dexter E. Cowles, an. old offender, gave Constable Philip Marino a hard tussle last night when the officer attempted to place him under arrest for intoxication and breach of the peace, and before the prisoner could Ve marched to the lock-up the as- sistance of George Fait had to be called for. Cowles is a thorn in the side of the constables every time he goes on a ‘“tear” and he has the repu- tation of being an exceedingly hard prisoner to handle. When Officer Marino placed him under arrest last night he put up a stubborn resistance and struggled so violently that he was locked up with difficulty. The officer saw the man on Central square. He was trying to sing the six parts of “Lucia de Lammer- moor” and at the same ume navigate towards home, His’ brother was as- sisting him, but as he was meeting with indifferent success the officer started to lend a helping hand. Cowles objected and started to abuse the officer. He was then placed under arrest. He kicked and struggled to get out of the officer’s grasp and threatened to annihilate the entire force, With George Fait's assistance the officer finally carried his prisoner to the town building. In court before Justice E. P, Prior, Cowles this morning admitted his guflt, but said he had no recollection of resisting the officer. I was pretty drunk and don’t remember anything that happened,” he said to the court. Cowles promised to ‘“sober up” if the court would not send him to jail. Justice Prior took him at his word and imposed a fine of $6 and costs, with the understanding that the man is to go to jail the next time he appears In court. The case against him was pre- sented by Grand Juror F. O, Thomp- son. 5 ! Grange Meeting at 7:30.

Complaints have been made to the authorities regarding the alleged In- discriminate sale of beer at outings and dances held at Silver Grove in the Mountain View section and an inves- tigation is being made. The officers have been advised that liquor has that there have been several disturb- ances. A delegation of constables visited the grove Friday night but found nothing to warrant action by thern.

Nicolo Lestonio, Philip Bardino ana Frank Julino have settled with the court for fines and costs imposed on them yesterday for their connection with the row which took place at a christening celebration on Maple street Sunday. Over $50 is added to the town treasury as a result of the fracas. Considerable credit is due to Con- stable Marino for his prompt action in the case. It was through the offi- cer's investigation that two of the men who escaped after the fight, were apprehended in New Britain while on their way to Hartford where they In- tended to take a train for Winstea, their home. Had he failed to act promptly they would undoubtedly have made a successful getaway. Big Colony at Camp Grounds. There is considerable activity at the camp grounds, members of the Con- necticut Chautauqua association, who have already moved into their cot- tages, being busy making prepara- tions for the annual assembly to be been sold regularly at the place and o held from July 13 to the in- clusive.

The tennis court which was put in shape last year is proving very popular with the early arrivals and it is in use a greater part of each day. Methodist Mceting July 24. Rev. G. B.

In the recent past the Chronicle dealt -editorially with Woodrow Wil- son as a leader who leads, and since that time he has so borne himself that men have come to know that he is essentially a leader who fights. It is not meant that he fights with blustering or in any spirit of bitter- ness, He carries no “big stick.” He questions the integrity of purpose of no man. He does not dictate nor seek to bulldoze. He reasons and per- suades. He has an intellectual vision of luminous clearness, and keeps in touch with all the varylng changes -of sentiment and ‘conditlons, and diag- _noses with wonderful accuracy the re- sults of legislation already enacted, and perceives what remedies are yet needed to complete the task he has undertaken, ‘With him the party platform is not a mere collection of phrases, put to- gether in compliance with party pre- cedent and conventional custom, to be laid aside and ignored as soon as the convention adjourned, or when party expediency seemed to require its aban- onment, It means to him a pledge to be kept, a contract to be executed, a guide to be followed, and under pressure the most tremendous, under assaults by friends and foes, he has abided by it. Men may differ as to the wisdom of his persistency, but no fair-minded man will question his fidelity to his convictions, The platform promised a reduction of the tariff, and against flerce op- position he kept the faith. It prom- ised a reform of the fiscal system of the government, and at once those who were the beneficiaries of the then existing system, and who assumed to be the repositories of all financial wisdom, predicted widespread disas- ter; but without halting or hesitation he went stralght on with the task to which the people had called him, and fought his way to victory, and those who had been pessimistic prophets of evil hastened to applaud. He came to believe, contrary to for- merly expressed opinions, that the na- tional honor demanded a repeal of the free tolls provision of the canal bill, and, undismayed by charges of incon- (sistency and of surrender to England and of giving away the canal, he held to his purpose and recorded a tri- umph, Tremendous pressure has been brought to hear upon him to stay his hand for a season and stop all anti- trust legislation. His answer is that sgitation will cease only when definite A PICTURE OF COMFORT This veranda is furnished with Kaltex Veranda Furniture and you can buy the very same pieces here.

Mr. Wilson is not making war on big business, He knows this is an age of big business. He knows that com- binations of capital and equipment and resources are essential to reduce prices and meet the necessities of pur- chasers. He is not trying to stifie legitimate combinations, but trying to prevent such combinations as wish to crush out competition as preliminary to such prices as monopoly may choose to fix. He believes he is serving the peo- ple. Je looks upon himself as the chosen leader of his party, and he leads, He finds that he who leads must, if he keeps the faith, fight, and he fights—fights not with a bludgeon, but with a rapier; fights aboveboard like a gentleman who, while holding tenaciously to his own convictions, re- spects the honestly different opinions of others, yet never ceases to strive to make his own convictions realities in legislation. Bullding Dams on Ice. (Scientific American.) The government engineers on the upper Mississippl have:found that by constructing the dams on the ice in the winter they can often build them in shallow places and across sand bars' which are inaccessible to the barges and steamers in the summer months. The work can also be done much more cheaply. The willows and rock are hauled upon the ice by teams and unloaded at the place where the dam is to be constructed. The building crews follow the same method as is used in the summer months. A mattress of willows s made, loaded with rock, a second wil- low mat s lald on top and so on un- til a dam of the proper heightis con- structed. When f{t is finished the ice is cut away and the structure sinks to the river bed of its own welght. The work on the ice has been pro- gressing for three vears all along the upper half of the river, ILess has been accomplished this year than usual because of the thinness of the ice. Cock Fighting in the Tropics, (Century Magazine.) We lived near the cockpit, and nevér were permitted to forget it. Roosters in the tropics crow all night. On Sundays the easiest way to find the cockpit is to wait at the doors of the cathedral till the worshipers come out. The cathedral is near the cockpit, and the male part of the con- gregation moves in a mass, without unworthy detours, from the cathedral to the pit. There the soft-voiced, dignified Camagueyan becomes a mad creature. As a bettor he would shame the most wonderful western gambler who ever drew the breath of life in an American novel. A cattle king wilt bet his herds, a peon will bet his horse, his saddle, his spurs, even his sacred ma- chete, Everybody goes to the fights. Officials, doctors, lawyers, cowboys, po- licemen and servants shake their fore- fingers at one another and shriek bets in perfect equality, It {s no strange sight, after one is used to it, to see a grave gentleman enter a trolley car with .a game cock, which he holds by a string tied to one leg as if he were leading a pet dos. CHINESE SMUGGLERS CAUGHT. Seattle, Wash., July 7.—Unfriend- ly gales drove a launch carrying two white men and two Chinese into a fish trap in the S8an Juan Islands yes- terday. The launch sank and the men were rescued by a fishing ten- der, which took them straight into the arms of immigration officers at Friday Harbor. All four were ar- rested, the white men being charged with smuggling aliens into the United States. —————————————— Eat Less and Take Salts For Kidneys Take a glass of Salts iIf your hurts or Bladder Bothers.
