She observed her ninety-first birthday last December and was considered very hearty for a person of her years. She was a native of East Berlin and lived in that community during all but the last four years of her life.

Ac- companied by Deputy Sherift McCabe of - Southington, he came to Berlin | Monday night and paid for the dam- age which he had done to Mr, Wood- ruff’s property. He was profuse in his apologies and attributed his fool- ish action to the fact that he was un- { der the influence of liquor at the time. He had been notified by Deputy Sheriff James Clark of this town to either settle up or stand the conse- quences of a court trial, As was reported in the Herald Mon- day evening, Mr. Woodruff had just begun pouring gasoline into Mz, Fran- is’ car, wwen the latter shouting “That stuff won't burn!” took a matcn from his pocket, scratched it on the sole of his shoe and threw it into the partly filled funnel. The grocer bare- ly escaped being burned. The autoist then drove away when Mr. Woodruff went into his store to apswer the telephone, without paying for the damage or the gasoline. A bystander got his number however, and this aided the authorities in ap- prehending the autoist. Pastor Expected Home. The ladies of the Berlin Congrega- tiondl church spent considerable time this morning in getting the parsonage into condition for the homecoming of the pastor and his family, who it was expected would return this af- ternoon from their vacation, which was spent at York's Camps, Loon Lake, Me., Shelbourne, Mass, and Hartford.

PROGRESSIVES 10 HOLD WEEIING Bull Moose Want More Men on Their Town Committee.~Sunday Baseball Games at Woodford's Field Will Be Stopped By Owner of Proparty. First Selectman William J. John- son, author of the suggestion to lay a storm water sewer in Maple street to give work for Plainville’s unem- ployed, has written the following let- ter to the Herald to explain his views on this much-talked-about undertak- ing: ‘Gentlemen: 1 shall be out of town for'a few days so I thought perhaps you would like to know my’views on the sewer question in Plainville. he following paragraphs press it: “l have not had any practical ex- perience with: sewer systems, but it does not seem to me the best way to put a surface sewer in Maple street and connect it with Whiting street,,as 1 understand that the whole of Maple street cannot be drained in that direction. It would leave East street, which needs-a drainage system more than any other street in town, without a sewer. My inquiries to the Plainville Bus- iness and Improvement association were made with the purpose of find- ing out if it would be practical to drain East, Maple and the east end of Broad streets in some other direc- tion so that all could be taken in to- gether. ex- “Yours truly, #“WILLIAM J. JOHNSON.” In this letter Selectman Johnson makes it plain that he agrees with the large number of property owners who are opposed to the construction of a storm water sewer in Maple street. In regard to Mr. Johnson's propo- sition to devise some drainage system for the eastern end of the town, it is thought that the matter is of such magnitude - that it will be allowed to go over until after the annual town election. At this vacation season when many of the residents are away from home there is no sentiment for a special town meeting to consider the sewer question. If Mr. Johnson is a candidate for re-election ahd the voters return him to office, as his friends confidently expect, he will probably have a thor- ough investigation of the proposition which he suggested merely as an expediency ‘to relieve the wants of the unemployed. The letter printed by the Herald is Mr. Johnson's first public utterance on the plan. Progressives Once More. Just to show the republicans and democrats that the Roosevelt party, although not engaged actively in local politics, is still very much alive, William J. Dent, leader of the local progressive party, has called a meet- ing of the town committee for next Thursday evening. He sent out the notices today. When interviewed about the pur- pose of the meeting Mr. Dent said that the progressives intend to increase the membership of the town commit- tee from five to seven. They will al- so have to fill two vacancies in the present committee. Howard Gladden, the contractor, has moved to Fenwick and one other member has notified Mr. Dent that he will not be able to serve another year. The committee will endeavor to have William Fox continue as town chairman. He has veen one of the most consistently ardent progressives —eeeeeeeeeoo Get Rid of Cuticura Soap and Ointment Will hel Unsight}; a bar to social advancement and you when all else fails. complexions are often business success.

Mr. Dent reiterated his statement of a few days ago in which he said that the progressives would not at- tempt to run a local ticket this fall. “We believe, in town affairs, that we ought to support the best man for the job, no matter what his politics is,” said Mr, Dent. The report that the progressives would enter the local political field gamed credence early in the summer when it was rumored that George S. Babcock would run for first selectman on the bull moose ticket. This story has been denied and it is understood that Mr. Babcock will be a candidate for the office on the regular republican ticket. Mr. Dent says that he expects see the progressives a force to reckoned with in state politics this He is keeping in close touch with Joseph Alsop, the progressive leader for this district. To Stop Sunday Baseball. George C. Woodford of East street and Woodford avenue, has notified Manager Herbert Ewald of the Plain- ville Athletic ciub that he has decided to refuse permission for the playing of Sunday baseball on his field. The announcement came as a great sur- prise to the local plavers and the fans who have been following the game. In his notification to Ewald. Mr. Woodford makes it that the recent Sunday observance agitation is not back of his decision. He says that the crowd in attendance at the Sunday games has been causing to be damage to his garden and that several | complained | of his about the actions fans. It is understood that Mr. ford’s field of buckwheat trampled down after the game last Sunday afternoon. In view of the actions of the crowd who do not re- spect the rights of property and who do not appreciate the privilege ex- tended to them, Mr. Woodford has called a halt on Sunday games. One of the players on the Plain. viile Athletic club said today that while they regret to hear of Mr. Woodford’s decision, they could prob- ably arrange to play Sunday games at the Allen race track where local horsemen work out their steeds every Sunday morning. The local ball tossers are scheduled to play the New Britain Y. M, T. A. & B. society next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The fans are waiting to hear from Manager Ewald in re- gard to the securing of a field. Bids on Town Report. Clerk George S. Babcock of board of seleeimen, has received two bids from printing firms that would like the contract for printing the an- nual town report. One of the bids is from a Bristol concern which had the contract last year and the other figure is trom a New Britain printing shop. The selectmen are going to try to economize on the printing of the new town report. Last year the report was issued with -seventy pages and plenty of incidental information not essential to an understanding of .the town finances. The vear before the report contained onty forty-fout pages and was just as satisfactory from the point-of-view of general in- formation. Clerk Babcock is planning to re- duce the number of pages in the forthcoming report by the elimination of useless material. In wnis way a considerable sum of money will be saved to the town ana the taxpayers will have a more compact, ‘handy book of reference on town affairs. As soon as the report of Town Treasurer Charles W. Hird is filed with the selectmen, a final statement of the town's financial condition will be issued. ¥ive Hunters Prosecuted. Officer John Conlon reports that Game Warden Peuse of Thompson- ville has determined to put a stop to Sunday hunting in the = vicinity of White Oak. In all five hunters have been prosecuted during the last month. The game warden and his assistant from New Britain made a clever catch Sunday morning when they arrested Tony Volino and Thomas Tolina, two laborers employed at the Connecticut Trap Rock company’s quarries in White Oak. The game warden had breakfast at 4 o’clock in the morning in order to get ‘over to White Oak and lie in wait for the hunters They soon came along carrying Winchester shotguns with a gener- ous supply of cartridges. Game War- den Pease brought the men to Plain- ville, turned them over Officer Con- lon, and they were fined $20.41 each as told in last evening’s Herald . Residents in White Oak have been making complaints frequently con- cerning the hunting, that was being carried on_in direct violation of the new Sunday law, Want Pavitg. Brick Removed. Business who have establishments fronting on Central Square are won- dering when the Connecticut com- pany is going to remove an unsightly pile of paving brick that has been standing against the base of the sol- diers’ monument ever since the cen- ter of the town was permanently paved. The bricks add nothing to the ap- pearance of the center from an or- namental standard and they are a hindrance to traffic from the center to the railroad station. Lecture on Japan. In view of the fact that Japan has become involved in the present great European war, the announcement of a free lecture on “A Trip to Japan” at the A. M. E Zion church tomorrow night, is of special interest. The trip to the Island Kingdom will be made by way of a stereopticon lecture, the views showing life in the Orient in its most attractive aspects. The lec- turer, Rev. Mr. Hunter, will be intro- duced by the pastor, Rev. William Franklyn. neighbors have of the baseball was Brief Items. L. J.
