Bying- ton was prepared to proceed with the case when advised that the children could not be found and he agreed to a postponement. Albrecht was fined and sentenced to Jjail last Saturday for failing to sup- rort his family, the conviction having been obtained as a result of the Humane soclety’s investigation. Miss Mary J. Lally, one of the state humane agents, explained that Al- been spending most of his carnings for liquor and that his family was in destitute circumstances. She also told the court of the inten- tion of the society to have the chil- dren removed from their present en- vironment and sent to an institution. After court, Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart was commissioned to get the three younger children, whose ages are ten, thirteen and fifteen. He visited the Albrecht house but couldn’t find the youngsters, Mrs. Albrecht and | the other members of the family, who were at home, refusing to give him any information, It was the inten- tion to take them to the town home in New Britain, keeping them in that | institution until such time as the pro- Late court disposed of the Humane saciety's petition. Subsequent efforts to find the chil- dren have also fajled and when the case came up before Judge Byington | this morning, Miss Lally admitted that it was useless to hold the hearing today. Mrs. Albrecht; who 1is a cripple, was wheeled into cougt in an invalid chair, Her eldest son and a married daughter were also, to protest against sending the children away. They had told the authorities that they were willing to help ‘support the youngsters but the Humane society’'s representatives believed that it would be better to commit them to the county home and they were op- posed to any compromise. Hence the postponement of the hearing.

Arrangements have been made for the elimination of the toll line oper- ator inasmuch as calls between Plain- ville and New Britain and Plainville and Bristol are concerned and after Sunday telephone connections between these places will be completed with- out requiring the subscriber t6 ask for toll liné or to hang up the re- ceiver on his telephone and wait for the return call. As far as the subscriber is con- cerned the procedure will be exactly the same as on a local call, except, of course, that it will be necessary to prefix the desired number with the name of the exchange in whica it is located and to give the number of the ’phone from which the call is being made. For illustration, if a subscriber in Plainville, whose telephone number-is 62 ring 4 wishes to call numbgr 160 in New Britain, he will say to the local operator, ‘“‘New Britain 160 for 52 ring 4,” and remain at the tele- phone until the connection is made. The new method is expected to give a more speedy and satisfactory service between Plainville and con- tiguous cities. Will Settle Old Estate. According to the records of the probate court, Farmington district, cf which Plainville was at one time a part, the estate of Mary N. Tyler has never been settled, although she died over forty vears ago. This fact has been discoveréd by Frank 8. Neal, executor of the estate of Mrs. Tyler's husband, Miles M. Tyler who died several months ago. 3 . Judge Neal has filed a petition with the probate court for letters ot administration on Mrs. Tyler's estate to give him an opportunity to prop- ' erly settle that of her husband and give their heirs legal claim to prop- i erty left to them. According to Mrs. Tyler's will, her husband had the life use of her estate. The formality of settling it was never complied with, however, and to make it possible for Mr. Tyler's heirs to establish a clear claim to the property the executor of his estate wants permissidn to settle his wife's also. A hearing will be given on the pe- tition in the probate court on July 20, Judge Byington presiding. New Post Office Open. Postmaster P. J.
