STEVENS QUT “FOR DEPUTY JUDGE x-Senator Said fo B¢ Candidate ] for Court Position. PRESENT INCUMBENT INELLIGIBLE Charles F. Lewis Cannot Serve Again Because of Being Tax Collector— Ex-Representative 'Webster Ru- mored a Candidate for House Supt. 1t was learned today from an au- thentic source that ex-Senator Cldude W. Stevens of Kensington, who rep- resented the fifth senatorial in the upper house of the Connecticut General assembly during the past two yeans, is a candidate for the position | of deputy judge in Berlin to succeed C. W. STEVE] Lewis, the present incum- inelligible to reappoint- Charles T°. bent, who ment an candidac next se: convenes in Stevens enjoys a among many of by virtue of h them, the possibility named is strong. U time, no other townsmen out_as candidates for judgeship. As to the ex-senator's qualifications for the position to which he aspires, It is understood that he has spent considerable time of late in the stud, of law. s There is no regular salary attached :0 the deputy judgeship, the person who holds the office being paid three | jollars for each case he tries by the b jJudge of the court, who receives a gular salary of $250 a year. Representative-elect Roger M. Griswold said in a conversation with reporter today that he had heard a accordance with the st will be tutes, considered on of the legislaturc January, 191 wide acquaintance the state le have the come district | his | to the present | , deputy | rumor to the effect that Mr. Stevens was a candidate for.the position which Mr. Lewis is to vacate next July. Judge George G. Griswold made a similar statement. Because of the fact that he will be- gin his new duties as collector of taxes in the spring of next vear, Mr. Lewis will be inelligible to reappoint- ment to the court position which he now holds, the law on that point be- ing that any person liable to testify in court cannot act as judge. Even though this were not true, it is im- probable that the recently-elected town officer would seek renomination, owing to his increased duties. Dur- {iqg the past year, he tried only one | case, that being the one in which Judge Griswold testified against Elmer Annis, whom he caught , - stealing | chickens at his henneries. This was on the first day of the present year. Asked whether or not he wolild ac- cept renomination to the judgeship if he were named, Judge Griswold stated that, as vet, he was undecided. When his term expires in July, he will have served four years, being the successor to Judge Willard I. Alling of Ken- sington. The consensus of opinion about town is that he has fulfilled the | requirements of the office in a con- | scientious and able mafner and, with due respect for the records of 'his | predecessors, he is considered the best judge who ever held court in Berlin. It is within the authority of the judge of the court, to appoint the | prosecuting attorney. Soon after he | accepted a second term, Judge Gris- { wold H. Gibney ta act §n that capacity. The | 1atter did not accept, however, but | agreed to hold the position until such |time as the judge made another ap- | pointment, which was never done. Mr, | Gibney's capability is unquestioned. Ex_Representative a Candidate. Now that the state election has passed into history and the successful andidates are getting ready their pla attention of politiclans several contests for various office$ within slatnre, As has been stated previously in these columns, the name of Stewart Webster, the son of ex-Representa- tive Daniel Websier, is being men- tioned for house messenger, His can- didacy is sald to he regarded favor- ably is turned appointments ta the jurisdiction Today it became known that Daniel ' \Webster himself is out looking for one of the political plums. He gained so good an impression of the state cap- itol at Hartford, while serving there during the past two years, that he has a vearning to return and is said to be u candidate for assistant superin- tendent of the capitol.

After try- ing in vain to extricate the machine, the driver abandoned the project for the night, leaving for New Britain shortly after 7 o’clock. ~ Out for Chicken Thicves. That the local authorities are de- termined to apprehend the thieves who have been robbing Berlin chicken coops so relentlessly of late, is evi- dent from the cfforts they are exer- cising. 3Theré is hardly a day which passes that some suspicious looking character is not held temporarily for examination by the prosecuting at- torney. Last night Constable John Hackett perceived a*number of chickens in a wagon. which had -been standing in front df Muzzi and White's saloon on Farmington road for several hours. Ascertaining who the driver of the outfit was, he arrestéd him and noti- fled Prosecutor Gibney. The latter upon questioning prisoner became satisfied that the fowl had not been stolen and dis- charged him. The prisoner,-who saia he was Edward Tracey of New Brit- Aln, told that Harry Maxon, a New Britain butcher, bought the chickens in Berlin from a Polish man and en- gaged him to drive them to his place on Hartford avenue. Maxon rode on the wagon with Tracey until he became drenched by the storm, when he got on a trolley car at Boston Corners and hurried home. the Evidences of Accidents. A farmer driving in from the south- ern part of the town reported this morning that he had scen three breaks in the guide fence along the Turnpike road, which were probubly caused by itomobiles colliding with the struc- ture during vesterday's storm.

STRONG CASE AGAINST MORENCY Affair Will Be Given in Congregation- al Church—Funeral of Gustave Peterson—Creditors Will Apply fo | Letters of Administration. Plainville is preparing to do its share toward the relief of the sufferers in Belgium and announce- ment was made today that an effort will be made to raise funds for this worthy purpose through a concert to be given in the Congregational church on I'riday evening, November 27th. The affair will be under the auspices of the Congregational Sunday school classes and the arrangements are progressing satisfactorily. The concert is to be given by Miss Alice C.

Churches and civic and fraternal | organizations throughout Connecticut as well as other states are doing a great deal to help the people of Bel- gium in the hour of their great need. The public is making a generous re- sponse to the appeals for assistance ! and Plainville people will no doubt show interest in the cause by giving their patronage to the coming con- cert. Miss Wilcox is now arranging the program and it will be given out in a few days. The tickets are expectel to be in big demand and a capacity audience should result. Funeral of Gustave Peterson. Funeral services for Gustave Peter- son, of Farmington avenue, who died at the New Britain hospital Wednes- day from injuries sustained nearly two weeks ago when he was acidentul- | 1y shot, were held this afternon at 2 o'clock in Erwin Mortuary chapel in Fairview cemetery in the neighbor- ing city.

Prepares Strong Case. State's Attorney H. M. Alcorn s building up a strong casc against H. Morency, of Waterbury, whois to be tried at the December term of the superior court for stealing a horso | belonging to Mrs. Fannic Jenkins of this place. His assistant, Attorney | Maltbie s interviewed the witnesses for the prosecution during the pz few days and claims to have a wealth of cvidence against the accused. Morency, who is now in jail await- ing trial, having been unable to get | bonds, claims that while he sold the horse in New Haven, he was acting as business agent for another man, | whose identity he was unable to give, and that he had no knowledge the animal was stolen. He declared to the local police that he knew the wo- man who bought the horse was in the market for a good roadster and he offered his services as agent when a stranger advised him that he was trying to dispose of . Mrs. Jenkins’ property. He denied that he had been in the other man's company at various places where an attempt wi made to sell the horse. Witnesses, who are to be subpoenaed to the trial, are said to have told the state’s attorney that Morency tried to sell the horse to them. One of theam, a New Haven liveryman, claims he even went so far as to or- der the men from his stable as the price they wanted was SO ridiculously e i be permitted to vote on an equality with men.”” The disputants upon the affirmative are to be E. O. Dean and C. F. Johnsson, upon the nagative A. 1. Moffatt and Ora Fdgerly. The meeting Monday evening, Janu- ary 25, will be in the chapel at Up- son's corner. There will be an ad- dress by Rev.

Strunz has been offered for probate by the testa- tor's brother, Attorney Willlam E. Strunz of Florida and Judge!Byington will give a hearing concerning its admission next Tuesday. Mr, runz was reputed to be worth considerable money. He acquired substantial amounts during the past few years, having been a beneficiary under the wills of both his brothers, Otto and Willlam V. Strunz. They were well off at the time of their death and their two brothers, Frank and William, received the larger part of their estates. Creditors May Apy Creditors of Walter S. Jones are ex- pected to make application to the probate court for letters of adminis- tration on his estate, the deceased in- ventor having no relatives in this country. Judge Byington, a few days ago, re- jected the old man's will because one of the witnesses did not sign in the presence of the testator and the es- tate must now be settled as inte- state. In the absence of relatives from the country, creditors are the only ones qualified to apply for administra- tion papers and men to wham Mr. Jones was in debt are preparing to ask the court to appaint an adminis- trator in order that the estate may be settled. Benefit Whist. Plainville was largely represented at the whist and soclal given last even- ing in Firemen's hall, Forestville, by the Altar socliety of St. Matthew's church. Miss Bessie Crowley and James Murray captured first prizes at whist and the consolation awards went to Miss Nellie Brock and John Moran. At “45” John Kilcoyne of Danbury won first, John E. Garrity, secand and Rev. H. T. Walsh, third. Dancing was enjoyed during the evening and refreshments were served. To Decide on Police Rules.

Some minor changes may be made tonight, but it is probable that they will be accepted Clean Snow From Highway, The selectmen will also consider the filing of a protest with officlals of the New Haven railroad against the prac- tice of depositing snow removed from the Broad street crossing in the center oZ the highway.
