Very Little of This Fruit This Year— * Parlor With Brakes Set Dropped From Express Train—Re- pairing Troublesome Switch. Car With a view of expiditing the de- livery of produce in New Britain by the farmer, a number of prominent local agriculturists, including several members of the Berlin Farmers’ club, are taking steps towards organizing a ccmpany of the fruit and vegetable | growers in the towns of this vicinity, which shall take definite action in regard to establishing a public market, or exchange, in the Hardware city. s Plans are yet only in tentative form, but one of the instigators of the idea, while talking to a Herald man this morning, made the statement that a meeting of the infant organization would be called sometime in the course of a few weeks and that mat- ters would be rushed right along so that the members could derive bene- fits from the market in the late sum- nier and early fall. The place of the meeting has not been settled definite- 1y, but those interested are in favor of a hall in New Britain. At present farmers are obliged to loze considerable time in delivering their produce in the city, owing large- I% to the fact that, under the new administration in New Britain, they are denied the privilege ot congrega- ting on Main street early in the morn- ing and exchanging their wares. Where, at one time, the farmer could come into the city shortly after & o'clock in the morning, dispose of his produce immediately and return | _to his farm and attend to other duties, he must now drive about the streets And take a chance on meeting some middleman who will buy his produce. | In the majority of cases, he is obliged | to put in several hours driving about the streets before he has disposed of his goods. The only feasible plan which will eliminate this inconvenience is to %fl.b“l‘h a public market ' at some | pice in New Britain which is easily accessible to the many farmers. This [Bcan be done by the city itself or by [fthe farmers’ organization. If the iformer turns down the proposition, {¥the agriculturists can themselves pur- '$rhase a plot of ground for the pur- pose. 4 Tt is probable that the first meeting pf the new organization will appoint commiittee to confer with the mayor New Britain, this committee to ke a.report at a second meeting to pe held shortly after. The instigators have considered everal places in New Britain which pould be suitable for a public market. bne In ourtlcuhr is regarded favor- ly by all interested and, unless the city ul_:u’up the matter in the interests of its merchants, the or- ganization will purchase this place. Letters explaining the proposition, will be sent to farmers of this vicinity in a few days. Repair Troublesome Switch, Trolley workmen began work this morning repairing switch “J” which is located in front of M. E. Taylor's hook and eve shop in Kensington. New turnouts will be installed on both ends and the work will consume several days. Motormen have experienced con- siderable trouble of late - with the turnouts on this switch as they have: had a tendency to jar out of place after the first truck of a car passed over them. When they first began to have trouble, the motormen suspected that rowdies were tampering with the switches and a sharp lookout was kept. "One evening, a trolley car coming from Berlin ran onto the wrong side of the switch and barely missed crashing into the car coming from New Britain, passengers being given.a severe jar when the car was brought to a wery sudden stop. Repairs have been made to the switch at the Berlin Fair grounds, from which a large piece was brok- en a few weeks ago when a car passed over it. Fraternal Assemblage at Cowles’ Eight members of the local fratern- ity of Sigma Psi, Trinity college, with friends, were the Buests of Edward Cowles Saturday afternoon at his home in Kensington. Games and stunts were enjoyed until supper time when a picnic lunch was served on the lawn. ‘During the evening, there was a marshmallow toast in the orchard with singing of ‘- college songs about the fire. Those present were: George Fran- cis, Ray Segus, Ray Bentley and Ray ‘Woodward, alumni, all of Hartford; Don Linton, Trinity '15, of West Hartford; Randall, '16, of Providence; Ripley '15, of Glastonbury; William- son '17, of Norwich, and the following young ladies: Misses Segur, Krehut, Egert and Tucker of Hartford and the Misses Ruth Chandler and Esther Barchelder of Rocky Hill. First Peach Crop. - President John T, Molumphy of the Connecticut Valley Peach Or- chard company, told a Herald man today that he would pick his first crop of peaches next week and that, in spite of the poor season for this fruit, he would realize between six and seven hundred baskets. The main crop, he said, would be ripe and ready for picking next month. He will be able to get several thous- ands of baskets from his orchards, but the total number will be far less than those picked last year. “l con- sider myself lucky in getting any at all” said Mr. Molumphy, “in consid- eration of the very small crops which several of the largest peach orchards in this vicinity are to give.” He explained that the very severe weather which was ' experienced throughout Connecticnt during the past winter was responsible for the small crops, the extreme cold having killed the dormant buds. S Hauled Car With Brakes Set. OWwing to a defect in “The Atlan- tic,” one of its parlor cars, which caused the brakes to be set tight against the wheels, Train No. 270, which is due in Berlin at 9:21 a. m., was more than a half hour late this morning, arriving here at 10 o'clock. To maintain schedule, it was neces- sary to drop the car from the train, and it was uncoupled and left in the local yards for repairs. , As is required, not only in the rail- road ?Il‘l. R\_n by law, the train flagman was obliged to go back sev- eral hundred feet and place a tor- pedo on the track, while his train was switching the parlor cars onto a sid- ing here, and to save time, the train was backed down the road for a con- siderable distance to pick him up. People standing on Farmington avenue thought, upon seeing the train backing down the track, that it hdd struck some one, and in a very short time, a large crowd had gathered. The engineer had great difficulty in getting his .train started out of the Meriden depot. and on the . up-grade to the Peat Works pond. The wheels on the mischief-making car were held tight and slid along the tracks causing a great hindrance. ‘When he located the trouble and informed the conductor, the passengers on “The Atlantic” were transferred into an- other car. Another Ice Cream Social. Officers of the East Berlin Village Improvement society were so well pleased with- the success. of . their ice cream’ soclal held last Friday evening on Mrs. Willlam Vance’s lawn, that théy have decided to hold another similar event on Friday evening of this wéek on Mrs. Victor Belden's lawn. ‘Will Take Long Auto Trip.

While representatives of the necticut Humane society were con- ducting a state-wide search for over a week for three of Christopher Al- brecht's children, who it was said had been spirited away by relatives to prevent their commitment to the county home at Warehouse Point, the local authorities learned today that the youngsters did not leave Plain- ville until last night and were evi- dently hiding in their home on Canal street. Relatives of the children refused to give the authoritles any informa- tion concerning their whereabouts, but it was believed that they had been removed from town. Friends of the family, well acquainted with the children, told Deputy Sneriff Hart to- day of having seen the youngsters, in company with an older brother, board a Hartford bound train at the local depot about 9 o’clock last night. The officer notified the humane so- clety’s agent of the report he had re- ceived and an effort will be made to get track of them. If they are ap- prehended the probate court will be asked to issue an order sending them to the county home. Owners of the house in which the Albrechts live are making a deter- mined effort to evict them, but thus far they have been unsuccessful. The family had promised to leave without SRR Do (ST GRSy his horse a few weeks ago, has re- covered sufficiently to allow his get- ting around with the aid of crutches.

(Special to the Herald.) ‘Washington, July 20.—When Sena- tor Newlands asked unanimous con- sent that a day be fixed upon which a vote should be taken on his federal trade commission bill, Senator Brandegee objected, saying: “I will say to the senator, to spare him need- less waste of time in going through such requests for unanimous consent to vote on this or any other bill in- volving a grave change in govern- mental policy in the question of the regulation of corporations, there will be no unanimous consent given to this or any bill on any day until every bill has been thoroughly and ex- haustively debated, so that there may be at least an approach to some pre- liminary understanding of the mean- ing of the terms employed in the bills; and that date, that happy date, I con- sider to be remote by the period of weeks, if not months.” As the river and harbor bill can- not get the right of way until this trade commission bill is disposed of, either by vote or returned to the com- mittee which reported it, it would seem that the river and harbor bill will not be passed in the very near future. Showing Their Teeth. The friends of the river and harbor bill, becoming tired of the repeated criticisms of the bill and the efforts that are being made to block Its passage, are showing their teeth for the first time, and while their re- marks are couched in senatorial phases it is evident that there is go- ing to be an old-fashioned fight when the bill really gets under way. Senator Simmons of North Carolina, who is in charge of the bill, in answer to a criticism of Senator Burton of Ohio, who has been chosen to repre- sent the opposition, said: “If we are to continue river and harbor work in this country, we have got to appro- priate the money with which to do it, and under the conditions which now exist. If we should not pass the river and- harbor bill at this session of con- gress there would be a suspension of at least one-half of the river and har- bor works that are now in prosecu- tion.” No Apology Necessary. Senator Smith of Michigan said, with all the force at his command, that “ninety-nine.per cent. of this bill is recommended by the board of en- gineers. There is not a single item for which the committee ought to apologize or make excuses.” Senator Ransdell of Louisiana, presidént of the Nationdl Rivers and Harbors congress, said ' that the charge of “pork” and “graft” in re- lation to the rivers and harbor bill was a serious reflection upon every member of the senate committee on commerce and the river and harbors committee of the house of represen- tatives. He asked the direct question of the senate for a bill of particulars as to the items in the pernding bill that were put forth for the ,personal beriefit of some senator. He said he was tired of hearing the vague insin- uations and he called upon the critics of the bill for a “show down.” Defends Engineer Corps. “They make accusations,” he said, “without pointing out the items in controversy, without giving a bill of particulars, without even treating the friends of this measure as an ordinary thief is treated; for when a man is indicted for stealing he 1s presented with a copy of the indictment, and that indictment charges specifically just what is alleged to have been stolen.” He defended in the strongest pos- sible way the engineer corps of the United States army, and said that there were but two items in the bill which had not received the entire and cordial approval of the engineer corps.’ One of these was the Arcadia project in Michigan, costing $25,000, which has been under way for many years, and the other a project at Lake Contrary, on the Missouri river, where $75,000 was appropriated sev- era] years ago and a like sum appro- priated by local ‘people. receiving a legal notification, but seems to be in no special hurry about moving. The charity board of New Britain will be communicated with unless the family moves soon and an effort may be made to send Mrs. Albrecht to the Town home. It is said that she is not recelving proper care at the hands of her children and this morn- ing Sheriff Hart asked the humane agent to again investigate her case. Center Now Open. Central square was again opened to traffic this afternoon, the work of laying amiesite on the highway, which has been in progress for three days, having been completed. Selectman Johnson made an effort to have the contractors complete this part of the work on Saturday in or- der that the center would not be blocked on Sunday, but as the paving material was not cooled sufficiently for rolling the finishing touches could not be put on until today. Men were stationed on Whiting and West Main streets to direct autoists over the roundabout route which they were forced to take on account of the blocking of the center. With favorable weather continuing the contractors hope to finish their work here by the end of the week. Brief It®ms.
