CONTRACTOR WITHHELD THE PLANS Herbert Goodrich Dissatisfied With Division of Contract, It Is Said— , Swrprise for Miss' Gibbs—Winners at Flora Night Entertainment. Due to a great deal of divided sen- timent and subsequent il] feeling under which the members have been labor- ing for some time. past, it is extreme- ly probable that the Berlin Grange corporation, which was merged from ~ the otd Berlin Grange last month, will be obliged to abandon the idea of erecting its new home during this year at least. An important meet- ing was held last evening in connec- tion with the regular grange session, but owing to the policy 6f extreme reticence ‘which the prominent mem- bers have assumed it was difficult to Jearn .today just what action was taken, .One director, however, admit- ted during an interview this morning that the corporation had decided defi- nitely to lay. aside the plans for the new structure for the time being. Other members said that the matter was simply tabled and that it would “ be threshed out at the next meeting, which will be held in Mechanics’ hall on Worthington ridge Tuesday even- ing, August 31. . As far as can be learned the trou- blesome controversy originated over a disagreement about«he contract for the new building, which was to have been erected on a valuable new site ¥above Louis Anderson's residence on Deacon North's hill. Acting upon the. recommendation of the special building committee, which was head- ed by Charles Weldon, the grange, at one cf its recent meetings, awarded the contract for the erection of the new home to Herbert Goodrich, a granger who drew up the plans, He pcontracted to put up the building, with the exception of the foundation. for $2,500. it is said. For the pur- pose of economizing as much as pos- sible, the grangers decided that they would excavate for the foundation themselves and then have Louis An- derson, tie local gaason, lay the stone work. It was voted and announceq Satucday, August 1, should «Grange day,” at which time all tho members who felt able should in a few hours exc ng for the foundation. The ,women of the or- zanization, who were quite enthusi- astic over the project, had agreed to get dinner for the workers and serve it to them on the grounds. The morning of the big day was * favored With ideal weatner, but fo=- some reason the grange-lot was not the scene of the promised activiti On the contrary not a soul was to be geen in the vicinity. A series of meetings of the governing board fol- lowed and’ the town gossips began that be put | wagging their tongues until the agita- tion became quife general. Various stories were circulated, but were dis- credited by the directors or the infant organization. They refuse to dis- cuss the situation. Although Mr. Goodrich would not admjt it, a reporter learned from a reliable source today that he was do- sirous of getting the contract for the foundation as well as that for the building proper, his price béing in the neighbdrhood of $700. It is said that he took offense when the governing board voted to award the foundation contract to Louis Anderson, who had put in a bid considerably lower than his, and that he withheld the plans from the members so that they could not proceed with the work they had planned to start on the first day of this month. Nothing could be done without the plans and for this reason nothing was done on “Grange day,” day to a reporter. It is said now, however, that Mr. Goodrich has sur- rendered the coveted plans and speci- fications, The matter seems to have gone too far now, and the fecling runs so high that it is difficult for the offi- cers to arrive at any decision. Some of the members have severed their connection with the Grange and others have refused to join the new Grange corporation. Even Mr. Goodrich is said to have threatened to leave the organization. His two daughters, the Misses Sarah and Ethel Goodrich, are no longer on the membership roll, despite the fact that Mr. Goodrich denied this last evening. Mr. Goodrich gave a reporter to understand that there was no trouble whatever at the present time and that he had intentions of beginning work on the building very soon. He was unaware of any friction in the Grange, he said. Many of the members hope that the trouble can be settled speedily and that work may be started on the new Home, which the Grange is sorely in need of. They have worked hard to raise funds to help defray the debt which will be caused by the building of the structure, giving rum- mage sales, etc., and they are still willing to pitch in and do their share |if matters can be straightened out satisfactorily. Flora Night. Daspite the disagreement in the Grange, those members who attended | the Flora Night entertainment, given last evening in Mechanics hall, had a very enjovable time. Troubles were forgotten for the time being i while the members took time for recreation. Owing to the fact that Lecturer Mrs. George B. Carter is at the sea- shore at present, Mrs. Edwin B. | Adams acted as lecturer last eve- i ning. | Mrs. Charles Warner of Kensing- ton, as the Flora, had charge of the program and, guided by the decision of the three judges, Mrs. George P. | Dunham, Miss Georgiana Gibi: and ! Miss Davis of Enfield, awarded first second prizes, respectively, to Lawrence Watkins of Kensing- ton and Mrs. Edwin B. Adams of Berlin, for bringing in the most beau- | tiful bouguet of flowers raised in their own Gibbs Surprived. | At the conclusion of the program, | the Grangers: ‘tendered a surprise | party to Miss Georgiana Gibbs of | Kensington in honor of her ap- proaching marriage to Archie Hovt of New Canaan. She was made the recipient of a number of useful arti- cles, such as a mahogany rocker, a according to an explanation made to-, beautiful parlor 'lamp and a set of flat irons. Refreshments followed. Miss Gibbs’ wedding will take place in the course of a few weeks. The bride-to-be is the daughter of Mrs. M. A. Gibbs, and is one of Kensing- ton’s most popular young ladies. She and the groom-to-be will make their home in New Canaan. Returning From Europe. Local people will be interested to learn that S. N. D. North of Wasgh- ington, D.

Inspired while on her recent trip through England, Ireland and Scot- land, from which she returned to her home in Berlin last week Monday, Miss Adele Murray wrote the follow- ing lines during her stay in Killarney: Ireland. “Here’'s thank God for the race of the sod, Said Kelly and Burke and Shea.” My heart is in Killarney, Where I left it one bright day, And though I cross the ocean To my own land far.away I leave my heart behind me, In vou land of want and toil— Where 1 feel ’twill throb with life anew In dear old Ireland’s soil. Yes, I leave my heart behind me In your land of sun and mist, 'Mid mountain peaks so lofty That the dew at morn hath kissed. Erin’s soul is ever calling To her sons across the sea And I leave my heart behind me, '"Twill not return with me.

Doctor’'s Daughter Recovering. Miss Esther Griswold, daught:: of _Plailiville News NEW BRITAIN MAN IN AUTO HIGH JINKS Touring Car Torned Somersault on Southington Highway. DRIVER ESCAPED SERIOUS™ INJURY Starr W. Andrews Could Not Explain How Accident Happeneg—Court Discharges Bristol Man—Selectmen Want More Lights Next Ycar. Starr W. Andrews of 581 West Main street, New Britain, driving a Maxwell touring car, met with a pe- culiar accident while speeding along the Southington road in front of Han- sen Bros. factory shortly after 6 o'clock last night. According to eye- witnesses of the accident the automo- bile, without a moment's warning, turned a complete revolution in the air and started to' travel in the op- posite dfrection. The two occu- pants of the Maxwell, Mr. Andrews, who was driving, and a yvoung man were badly shaken up but not serious- ly ‘injured. The wrecked auto carried the num- ber C 6094. In the list of registered automobiles issued by the secretary of state there is no name opposite this number. Inquiry at the office of the secretary of state brought the information that Mr. Andrews owned the machine. The owner of the car remarked after the accident that he had taken.it from a garage yesterday morning after making a payment .of $100 on the purchase price: A touring car owned,and operated by Neri Brothers, the local confec- tioners, had passed the Maxwell com- ing towards Plainville a few minutes before the car came to grief. The New Britain autoist was traveling at a good rate of speed. A teamster who was driving towards Southington called out to the flve occupants of the Nerj car, saying: “Hold up there— look back of you.” ‘When they stopped the car and' looked back they saw ‘the Maxwell headed towards Southington. Clinton J. Morse of this town, who came along in his Ford car right after the accident, says that no one could give an explanation of just what hap- pened. Apparently the Maxwell was traveling along and something went violently wrong. The car must have turned a somersault, because the windshield was smashed to bits and the cap on the radiator was stove in. The spokes on one of the rear wheels were taken out as cleanly as though they had been sawed and the top was wrecked, The engine did not appear to be damaged. Mr. Andrews$ complained of an in- jury to his shoulder. His face was cut in several places by flying glass from the windshield. The young man who was riding with him injured one of his hands and had a slight bruise on his face. Mr. Morse and the Neri brothers agree that both men had a narrow es- cape from death. They figure that high speed of the car gave it sufii- cient momentum to make a complete turn in the air before it struck the highway again. he wrecked Maxwell was hauled to the side of the road and left there for the night. Neri brothers carried the owner of the car to his home in New Britain. . Local automobile owners said to- day that the accident ought to serve as a warning to the speed-maniacs Dr. and Mrs, Roger” M. Griswold of Kensington, is recovering from an operation for appendicitis, which was performed upon her a few weeks ago at the Charter Oak hospital in Hartford. Berlin Briefs.

Court Case Dismissed. Herman Keller of East Briétol ap- peared before Grand Juror Minton A. Norton in the local town court yes- terday afternoon in an attempt to prove that he had been robbed of a wad of money amounting to $76. Ho named Andrew Renzolle as the de- fendant. Lawyer Jennings of Bris- tol was present to represent Renzolle. Keller told rather a weird tale when called upon to present his case. In the first place he represented that he and the defendant were very good friends, that they often went out to have a good time together and that he had invited Renzolle to go out with him Saturday. On Sunday Kel- ler took a long nap in the woods to the north of this town. He did not remember much about what hap- pened Sunday. Monday morning he was found on Main street in an in- toxicated condition by Constable Philip Marino. He started to make a complaint against Renzolle but was not able to make himself understood. He was placed in the lock-up until he could become sober. Yesterday afternoon he testified that he had recently sold property in Bristol with a profit of $125 to him- self. He claimed that he had spent $60 Dbefore Renzolle stole the re- mainder from his pocket. Renzolle submitted evidence to show that Keller, himself, had told three local citizens (n Saturday that Renzolle did not take the money. In view of the tardiness of the com- plaint and Keller's condition when the complaint was made, the court decided ‘to dismiss the case. Looks Like Even Break. First Selectman Willlam Johnson said today that he could not tell positivgly whether the town books will show an even break for the past fiscal year. He thinks that there will be no deficit although there is. the usual amount of back taxes that has not been collected. Mr. Johnson says that he has not carried on any new negotiations with the United Electric Light & Water company in regard to new. lighting arrangements. for the center of the town. He does intend. however, to include in the call for the annual town meeting, a consideration of the need for more lights in the outlying districts. The selectmen think that it would be more advisable to scat- ter a’ number of new lights in the outskirts where they are needed badly, than to invest money in larger and more powerful lights for the cen- ter of the town. This matter will be put up to the voters and tax payers at the town meeting. John Norton Hale and Hearty. John C. Norton, Plainville’s “Grand Old Man,” hale and hearty although he has passed the ninetieth milestone in his long and useful career, greeted the Herald reporter this morning and said that he was anticipating with great pleasure the forth coming gathering of the Connecticut Old Men's association for-a barbecue at Lake Compounce. Mr. Norton can remember right well how years ago he happened to be at the lake when the association was formed. Alice Norton invited a few of her friends to join and the local Tresidgnt, “since his name was Norton, was elected president. This is an office that Mr. Norton is still proud to hold today. He thinks that the old gentlemen will have their usual time swapping reminiscences between crunches of fried corn and roast lamb. The date for the bar- becue has not been set. Progressives Are Strong. “The progressives are stronger now than they were in 1912, said William J. Dent this morning and he said it with’a finality that meant business. Mr. Dent is one of the recognized leaders of the bull moose organization in Plainville. He says that nearly thirty of the Roosevelt followers have signed enrollment cards and he knows fifteen other local citizens who are progressives, although they do not care to sign the cards. When asked if there were any Plainville progressives of two years ago who have returned to the sre- publican fold, Mr. Dent said that he could not say. He thought that the new party had probably lost a few by the back-sliders’ route. Mr, Dent reiterates Chairman Wil- liam Fox’s recent statement that the progressives will not place a local ticket in the fleld this fall. Funeral This Afternoon. The funeral of Clayton J. Foster was held at 2:30 o’clock this after- noon at his late home on Unionville avenue. Rev. Henry S. Still of For- estville officiated.
