HAVING AN AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY FOR NEW BRITAIN YOU CAN DEPEND ON PROMPTLY RECEIVING ALL DRY GOODS PURCHASED OF US. Berlin News HIT BY AUTO AFTER STEPPING FROM CAR New Bmam Man Irjured by Ma- * chine Driven by Lawyer Alling. SCHOOL BOARD CONS DERS REPAIRS Renovations to Be Made at Many Schools During Summer Vacation— Vital Statistics for June—Adminis- trators Appointed for North Estate. Struck by a Buick automobile, driven by Lawyer Benjamin W. Alling of New Britain, as he alighted from the 5:30° Berlip bound trolley car, opbosite Depot Square last evening, Paul Durzie of Cherry street,. New Britain, was thrown to the ground with such force as to injure him quite seriously both internally and exter- nally. ~After receiving temporary freatment from Doctors Roger M. and ‘Mitthew H. Griswold of Kensington, he was removed to the New Britain General hospital, where it was stated today that he is resting comfortably. It is believed that he will recover. Speaking over the ’‘phone to Herald man this morning, Mr. Alling, ho is the son of Judge Willard T. Alling of Kensington, said that the machine he was driving was traveling at a rate less than ten miles an hour when it struck Durzie. “We were kardly movin said the lawyer, “and I don't think the machine was going any more than five or six miles an hour. Of course that's the same old story, but it's true.” ' Mr. Alling and his Charles A. Bence, the New Britain expressman, were the only ones who scemed able to give a clear account of the accident. The former states that he was driving down Farmington avenue towards Upson's corner and was just about to pass the trolley car, ywhich had stopped opposite Depot Square, when Durzie rushed blindly from behind headed for the railroad station. Even before seeing' the man the lawyer savs, he sounded hix horn to warn any passengers that might have gotten off the car. he suddenly perceived the figure of a guan directly in front of his car it was 00 late to avoid hitting him, but he brought his car to an almost im- mediate stop. Fortunately the é1d not pass over Durzie's body, but he received serious injuries in being thrown to the road. He sat up in the road in a semi-conscious condi- tion and began rubbing his head with his hand, when picked up and rushed ‘to the doctor's office in the machine which had sgruck hifh. A superficial examination proved that his left lower Wyelid had been ripped open, that there were friction burrs on the collar hene, a deep cut on the temple and that he was suffering from concus- sion of the brain. After first aid was rendered, Durzie was taken to the Kospital by Mr. Alling, Dr. Matthew Grigwold accompanying him. It a companion, out | auto | | was ‘ascertained there that he was in- ternally injured, particularly in the vicinity of his chest. Two stitches | were requifed to closs the wound on the temple. At the time of the accident, Mr. Alling was trying out one of Mr. Bence's new cars. While it could not be learned - definitely, it, is said that the lawyer had no license. This would not be_a violation of the law, however, in view of the fact that Mr. Bence, who is a licensed driver, was in the car with him at the time. Lawyer Alling is well known _in Bérlin, not only because of his hav- ing resided here formerly, but be- cause of the many times he has de- fended clients in the local police court. His last appearance was in the case of Louis Seiple of New Brit- tain, who was . tried and fined $150 and costs for reckless driving. School Board on Repairs. The town school committee at its July meeting held last evening in the town clerk’s office, voted to make re- | pairs of more or less importance, at practically all' of the local schools. While no statement as to the exact amount to be spent was made, it Is estimated that. the repairs’this year will be =slightly in excess of those made last vear, which cost about $400, , Probably ‘the biggest change is to bé made at the Blue Hills schopl- house. Here the ~old-fashioned floor will be torn up and replaced by a new and modern one. ‘At the South school many holes in the plaster on the walls will have to be filled and considerable whitewashing done. The concern that installed the heat- ing system at the Kensington Gram- mar schoel will be consulted in re- gard to arrangifg for imbréved cir- culation., ' No expense will be_ at- tached to this work as it is included in the contract. At the Beckley schoolhouse, the 0id stage on the second floor will be removed and the space_ utilized as a room for the primary department. This Toom is well built and, after the changes have been made, it will be one of the prettiest country school- rooms in the state. In one of the rooms on the sec- ond floor of the Worthington Gram- mar school, a large crack has de- veloped between the false celling and the walls, it being possible to see daylight through it when sitting at the teacher’s desk. . It will be nec- ) essary to have this remedied and !some painting’ and kalsomining done. Small things will tended to in many other rooms and | the supervision of the repair ork I will be left with the repair com- | mittee, which is composed of Presi- dent John T. Molumphy, Secretary Arthur Woodruff and William H. Nye. H. H. Hanford will loo% aftsr the work to be done at the Percival school in Kensington, as it is lo- cated very near to his residence. As the fiscal year closes soon the school hoard may be obliged to hold its August meeting late in July for the purpose of getting all its reports |ready for the annual town report, Which is jssued early, in September of each year, . Vital Statistics for June. From the vital statistics, which Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw pre- pared today for the secretary of state, [it is seen that, during the month of June, there were three marriages, three deaths and eleven births in the town of Berlin.

Johnson and men in charge of the paving of East Main street and Central Square had a lively tilt this morning over the lack of progress made by the con- tractors and their attempts to tear up the south side of the highway be- fore opening up the north side to traffic. With the exception of a short; stretch in front of Gleason's lunch | room, the north side was finished a | few days ago but for some reason, | unknown to the town authorities, the contractors left this spot uncovered, thereby blocking a good part of the highway and impeding vehicular traffic. X Selectman Johnson stopped them from tearing up the south side of the street this morning and as they were unable to get enough amiesite to keep | all hands at work, the contractors today laid off a portion of the help. They agreed, however, to finish up one side of the street and open it to the public a soon as possible. While the contract calls for the completion of the ‘entire job within twenty-five working days after May 25, the date on which a start was made, it would not be surprising if another month is reduired to finish the task. To Have Lawn Festival. The Men’s Parish club of the Church of Our Saviour will give a lawn festival tomorrow evening on the grounds at Maplehurst on Wost Main street. The lawn will be at- tractively decorated and a number of young ladies have been engaged to serve refreshments, The committee has arranged to have ice cream delivered to homes from 4 o’'clock in the afternoon until nine at night.

TANNENBAUM TIRES OF HERD BUSINESS I W. W. Leader Asks for Work After Taste of Solitary Confincment. New York, July 14.—Frank Tan- nenbaum, who is serving a vear at Blackwell's Island as a result o his I. W. W, campaign last winter, hauled down his banner of defiance yesterday and asked to be permittad to go to work again. He is one of the eighteen men at the Island who arc in solitary confinement as punisn- ment for starting the various out- breaks of last week. When the trouble broke Tannen- baum ranged himself on the side of the rioters, and when Commissioner Davis and Warden Hayes descended upon the ringleaders he loudly pro- claimed himself one of them. Nothing Against Warden, “I haven’t anything against you, warden,” he said. “You know that. I have been treated fairly since I came here, and as for general condi- tions I can stand ihem If othere can. But, you sec, these men, my broth are revellivus against the constitu: authorities and my philosophy «f life is just tua. So 1 murt stand with them in any such.contest.” “All right, Frank,” said the warden. “You shall stand with them. And when you get tired of standing you can lie down on the cement floor of the cell into which I am going to put you. And to make you conscious of the fact that you are really one of them you will get one slice of bread a day, just the same as they are go- ing to get. I shall not forget that you are one of them.” Explaing to Warden. That was all right until yesterday, when more than 1,200 of the men went to their shops and began to work as if there hadn’t been any re- volt. Two more men were added to Tannenbaum’s crowd and no word came that the ringleaders were to re- ceive their beds and regular food for some time. Tannenbaum began to think that there wasn’t much need of being a hero any more. He called the warden and told him how he felit. ‘I guess I'll be good,” he said. “You know I can work iIf I want to. and if you'll give me a job I'll take fit and drop this business of rebelling)against the authorities for as long as I am a prisoner here. But say, warden, can't you put me somewhere ' else than in the brush shop. You/know I sald things to those fellows and the way they're going to guy me for gi ing in won’t be very pleasant /for mi ““Well,” sald the warden. “It's the brush shop or solitary for you. You can take it or leave it.” Back to Brush Shop. So Tannenbaum gave in and back to the brush shop he went this morn- ing. Everything was working smoothly at the Island when Commis- sioner Davie left there after a brief visit yesterday. She says she expects no more trouble, but hopes the war- den will be able to find a féw more of the ringleaders. Warden Hayes isn't saying anything about there be- ing no more trouble. Long experi- ence has made him cynical in . the face of promises from prisoners. {ie hopes, but doesn’t build on his hopes. His game is, he says to be prepared for anything. Commissioner Davis seemed; pleased that Sweet Marie Ganz, who spoke yesterday on conditions at the lsland, found nothing in the present admin- istration of the penitentiary to eriti- cise. Marie spoke near the muniel- pal bulding for an hour. Right at the start she said thut she wanted to set herself straight with the publie that reads of her exploits. She said she is not an anarchist and wants nothing to do with anarchists. She is for the workingman she said, anda had been assured by Deputy Com- missioner Rubin that she is not in the police records as an anarchist. Raps Board of Estimate, Marie hammered away at the board of estimate, declaring that it evident- ly has a grudge against the depart- ' mentment of correction, because it persistently turns down applications for gppropriations by Miss Davis, Bhe asserted that money ought to be spent freely on the Island, where, she sald, conditions are almost un~ bearable. She agrees with Commig- sloner Davis that prisoners should ba classified In order to keep healthy persons healthy and give those who are not healthy a chance to become 0. Sho said that she is going to the Island to conduct an investigation, | 8o that the public may be informed with particularity as to just what is needed there, Commissioner Davis vouchsafed no comment as to Marfe's investigation. The present commis~ sloner has already let it be known that she Is perfectly capable of con= ducting her own investigations.
