BERLIN PASTOR LEAVES TOMORRO Rev. Samuel A. Fiske to Attend Con- .lerenco at Silver Bay—New Bflmhx 40 Relieve Seme Slmflon—-ulss North’s Funcm Tomoriow. Fires were kindlell for the first time this morning in the boijers of the en- gines which are to operate the ma- chmery in the large $10,000 factory building on New ;Britain road, Ken- sington, which has just been complet- ed for the G. Prentice Manufacturing company by the B. H. Hibbard Con- tracting company of New Britajn and “within a period of two or three months a force of about 250 hands will be employed to attend to $20,- 000 worth of machinefy and, in other svays, assist in supplying large orders for buckles. In a talk today with a Hep d re- porter, President - George Prentice stated that fifty presses have already arrived at the factory and.have been;| set up, some of them being jn use at the present time. More are on the road to this town and busyyscenes take place at the shop daily as the machinery is unloaded and ° shifted into position. By the addition of the new 96x40 foot, three-story structure, the ca- pacity of the plant will be quadrupled. About seventy-five persons find em- ployment at present in the 45x30 foot RQuilding which was purchased only recently’ from Louis Lanza, following the purchase of a large piece of land in the rear from the American Paper Goods company of Kensington. “We've got barrels of work,” says President Prentice, “and the open- ing of our new plant will facilitate our handling several large orders which ‘would otherwise have to {pe turned down.” It is estimated that between ten and fifty men apply for work daily at the Prentice 'factory, a few being taken in each day. As soon as all the machingry' is set up, the payroll will be greatly increased. Tweo thirty-five horse power ' en- gines and one ten horse power motor keep the machinery now in the fac- tories in operation. The company as already made plans, however, for the installation of a new $10,000 en- “gine some time in the future. Officers of the G. Prentice Manu- facturing company are the president, George Prentice; the vice-president, Frank H. Johnston and the secretary and treasurer, A. B, Porter. These officers, together with R. O. Clark, Dr. Martin and Thomas Prentice ‘of Bridgeport, constitute the board of “directors. Attending to Sewer Bed Situation. At the meeting of the common council of the city. of New Britain held last evening, Mayor George A. Q\fl;ley Wag authorized o appoint a of four-to mlpeec m | systems in other cittes with a viltw of | making recommendations in regand jto changes to the OPERATIONS BEGIN IN sewer beds at Beckley Quarter. This committee will be allowed not more than $1,000 to spend in this . investigation, which promises relief to local people. There is a possibility that, acting upon the recommendations of George W. Fuller of New York, a sanitary engineer, the city of New Britain will decide /to install sprinkling Imhoff tanks at Beckley asa substitute for the filter beds, which are far from. satisfactory. As has been made clear at many times by local people, it was brought out at the Hardware city council meeting that the sewer beds do not ccme anywhere near to fulfilling the purpose. for which they were con- structed. Sewage cannot filter through clay. Berlin people said so in 1901 when the general assembly granted New Britain the right to locate the beds-here. The keepers and those acquainted with the conditions in Beckley know that this opinion has been sustained by experience. It was remarked also at the council meeting that the iron sent into the sewer system from the factories was an- other obstacle in the way of proper filterage. It will be remembered that Mayor Quigley told tthe Berlin hoard of se- lectmen about three weeks ago that ‘hig city would look.into the sewage situationiat once’and ‘take some ‘défi- nite action within “thirty days. ' This promise was made immediately ‘after the local selectmer ‘dnnouficed their decision to bring a suit for damages, following an inspection by ‘an expert chemist from Boston. It ' relief is afforded, the Berlin authoritiies® will" court abandon the idea of action. Miss North’s Funeral. The funeral of Miss Catherine Me- linda North, who ‘passed away yester- day following her second shock of apoplexy, will be heéld at 2 o’clock to- morrow afternoon from ’the ‘Second Congregational church " in Berlin, taking Rev. Samuel A, Fiske, the pastor, will’ officiate and burial will be in Maple cemetery. Definite announcement to this effect was made this morning upon the arrival of a nephew, Alfred North of Philadelphia. About two years ago, Miss North presented to the Second Congregation- al church, in memory of her father, Deacon Alfred North, the clock which is now located in the belfry. She was an active member of the Village Improvement society and personally supervised the setting out of some maple trees a few weeks ago. Pastor Leaves Tomorrow. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske will for Silver Bay, N. Y. immediately after the funeral tomorrow. He will go there as a delegate of the local Christian Endeavor society to the Missionary Education conference, ses- sions of which begin tomorrow and continue until July 19. Mr. Fiske was to have left yvester~ day but altered his plans upon learn- ing of the death of Miss North, The delay will make him one day late for the convention. No More Help Wanted. 4 bulletin, which Postrhaster Henry L. Porter has posted at the Berlin post office contains the information that the bureau of immigration of the United States department of labor has been notified by the state officials in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri that a sufficient number of men have proceeded to those states to meet the demands for help in the harvest fields, and South Dakota advises that many apvlications are being received in that state. . leave ——All RefAona Axe eecordingly ad- | James -J.

S. S. Children on Sail, About thirteen -children of the classes of the Misses Flora Norton and Hattie Roys and Mrs. Frank 'L. Wilcox went to Hartford last evening, took a sail down the Connecticit riv- er as far as Middletown on boéara one of the steamers of the Hartford and New York Transportation com- pany and returned to Berlin via trol- ley.

CONSTABLE CANNOT LOCATE HIM Men in Court for Row at Christening “Peach” ‘Who Escaped— Not Satisfiea With Paving—Caught a Lone Perch. on Pal Italians fined in court for their connection with the fight which at- tended a christening celebratiod on Maple street Sunday are jealous of the success of one of their number, who made a getaway, and they have complained to the authorities regard- ing his activities in the brawl. While they were disappointed over the ac- tion of the court in imposing fines on them, their feelings were hurt most by the knowledge that the real prin- cipal in the row escaped without any punishment. After those who remained at the house following the fight were taken in tow by the officers and two others who got as far as New Britain were captured, an attempt was made to get the facts in the case and place re- sponsibility on thé right parties. At the time none of those acquainted with' the conditions were willing to give much information and as a con- sequence the authorities could get only enough evidence to secure con- victions of the trio taken into cus- tody. Prosecutor Norton -and the police concerned in the case believed that with Monday’s court session and the payment of -fines, with which the ac- cused were taxed, the row passed into history. They learned last night, however, that such is apparently not the case. The ‘men in court at that time have since held a conference and accord- ing to the information obtainable de- cided to' “peach” on the man who they claim was responsible for the affair. They explained that they felt sore because they had to pay from $17 to $20 each for their connection with the row and they thought it only just that their “friend” should also be compelled to make a contribution to the town’s treasury for starting it. Constable Joseph Marino was dis- patched -to a cabin near the quarry at White Oak last night, the inform- ers having stated that the culprit was one of its occupants. The officer learned, however, that the quarryman, fearing that an effort would be made to arrest him, had departed Mon- day morning and has not since been seen. He has some pay due him at the crusher and the police hope to get him when he makes a demand for it. Attorney Visits - Bristol. Judge Thomas Welch of Southing- ton, counsel for the town of Plain- ville, this week paid a visit to Bris- tol for the purpose of conférring with the charity board of the neighboring city concerning theé town’s bill for care of the Onerato family. The matter of settling the bill was a bone of conteéntion ‘for some time between the officials of both places and when the Bristol people flatly refused to. pay the account which he rendered, Selectman Johnson placed the case in the hands of Attorney Welch with- instructions to bring sult unless it was liquidated. Bristol has protested against pay- ing the bill'on the grounds that al- though the family-is a legal charge of the city the local selectmen spent too much money for the care of its members. Attorney Welch was umable to get any satisfaction out of the charity department and his visit was not fruitful of the desired results. He will probably draw up papers for the litigation of the c¥eim and'the ‘courts will have .to decide on the meyits of the bill. Caught a Single Perch. After a day and night's fishing at Lake Congamond, John H. Trumbull C. W. Jones, C. F. Spaulding and A. J. Bordeau returned home late yes- terday, exhibiting a single perch as a demonstration of their skill. They nad spent several hours on the lake and the perch was the only ‘“reward” they got for their efforts. During the latter part of June, tbe fishing at the lake was excellent and the splendid catches made by some of the Waltonians resulted in~ the augmenting of the line and reel ex- perts at the resort. Over twenty-five boats, occupied by fishermen, were within calling distance of the local party, and judging from reports they were about as successful in their at- tempts to coax the fish to the surface. To Have Charge of Commissary. Myron E. Rogers, the local baker, ‘has again been selected to take charge of the commissary department at the Plainville camp grounds while the Chautauqua and Methodist camp meeting are in session. Mr. Rogers is already sending supplies to prise party at her home in East Ber- lin Tuesday evening. Miss Ruth Lawrence of Lakewood, N. J., is visiting friends in East Ber- lin. An owl hunt is in progress in East Berlin at present. Several screech owls have made their homes in the Grove and have been known to attack pedestrians by chasing them as they pass by after dark. the grounds for the vanguard of the Chautauquans, Wwhich awaits the opening session next Monday. There are newcomers at the grounds every day this week and by Saturday it is belleved that few cot- tages will be without tenants. The cottages of the Bristol, Forestville, Southington and Plainville members of the association are already filled and the occupants are busy making preparations for the opening session. At Adventists’ Grounds. Dunham’s grove on the Southing- ton road, which serves as a meeting place every summer for the Adven- tists of the state, is already well pop- ulated, although the annual camp meetings are not to be held before the latter part of August. Several Adventists from different parts of the state have cottages at the grove and they make the grounds their summer homes. Many of them have already moved in and- several new arrivals are expected next week. Southington Starts on Sewer, There is considerable local interest in the huilding of a sanitary sewer in Southington, work on which was started yesterday, as it is believed that the success of the neighboring borough in financing the proposition will have a decided effect on future activities relative to sewer plans in Plainville. ‘When the sewer committee’'s rec- ommendations were rejected by the voters a few months ago one of the strongest arguments used by the op- position was that the estimated cost Wwas unreasonably high. The fact that Southington proposed to build a much larger sewer than Plainville at an expense not much in excess of that which this town would incur was used against the local committee, members of which explained at the time that the estimate of the engineer in the borough was entirely too low. Their contention has since been up- held and experts who have looked over the layout in Southington predict that it will cost nearly twice as much as had been originally estimated. This makes it apparent that the local committee’'s figures were secured after a thorough investigation and were probably close to correct. Paving Was Unsatisfactory. First Selectman Johnson, who s personally supervising the work of making highway improvements on East Main street.and at the center, was not satisfied with the manner in which bricks were laid at the curve in’ the trolley rails and yvesterddy he ordered the pavement taken up from a small area and relald to correspond with his wishes. Although the improvements are to be paid for by the state and trolley company, and while in reality the town has no connection with the work, the selectman is paying close atten- tion to it. In all cases the contractors have respected his wishes and it 1s not likely that there will be any con- | filct regarding authority. Brief Items. Sequassen lodge, I. O. O.

(New Haven Unlon.) Of course it was rather discourag= ing news for the progressives of Con- necticut to be informed that the col- onel would not be able to get into Connecticut before the middle of August, for they had been expecting him on July 23. But like the phil- osophers that they are in this politi- cal game, they have accepted the news of the postponement cheerfully, and they will from this date on be- gin preparations for a rousing old- time welcome' to the leader of the Bull Moose. It is readily understood that the irabilitv of the colonel to keep the original date was his physical oon- dlllon and the condition of his voice, The republican party of Connece ticut will not go into sackcloth and ashes over the information that Col« onel Roosevelt will not be able to speak in Connecticut until later. The republican leaders would be just as well pleased if he confined his ora- torical efforts to New York state al« together. They don’t want him in this state at all. General Roraback! and those who are high up in thel councils of the Roraback Rangers, the guides and the managers of thi republican party of Connecticut, ha little use for the colonel, and the; do not hesitate to say that, there no occasion for him to butt{into Con- necticut. They are prettyiconfids that If he says anything at all whi addressing the progressives of Co necticut, he will not let the ch g0 by to give the republican lead: of this state a blow or two they be apt to remember for a few d at least. He has no love for men at the head of the Connec republicans, and has never had. his judgment they are practically same stripe politically as Penrose Pennsylvania and his kind. sel bosses who are never working in interest of the people. The leaders of the Connecticut p: gressives, it is certain, will have litth to do with the existing political maw chine that is in control of the re publican party here. They have re peatedly assailed Chairman Rora. back, and their warfare on the ener| getic chairman of the republican state committee has never ceased. Does any one suppose' that the pro gressives would go into political bat tle with General Roraback in com- mand of the forces and the Bul Moose of Connecticut !rlllln. on be. hind ? . And these same, progressives wh have been after General Rorabac and his henchmen in republi leadership are sure to fortify the ool onel with abundance of material show why there is little hope of form in the political conditions this state with Chairman Roraback| in power. They will also emphasize, the statement that no good can comse, from a coalition with the Connecticut| republicans while the present state| machine is running republican polie( tice. Does. any one think for a momen that Mr. Roraback and those who re gard him as a wise and faithful lead. er in his party will step into pri life just because the progressives ha pointed to him as one of the polith cal factors that must be elimin ' from the activities of the republ party of this state? And we hear ' occasionally 1 Waterbury and like hopeful. intelll. gent sports that the republicans an the progressives may come ia the s=me political tent this year. /
