The authorities requested the local town officer to look up any relatives which the ceased inmate might have in but, after . investigating., Mr. found that there were no survivors in this vicinity, a lone brother who oncg lived on South Main street in New Britain having died while visit- ing in Italy a number of years ago.

Unger the circumstances, Biusini is classed as a state pauper, so the state will be responsible for all ex- enses brought about by his death. There are a number of people in when e lived there.

He advocated an open vote on the choice of commis- sioner so that the people could know how their representative stood. The Kensington speaker quoted figures to show that it was cheaper for the state to eliminate license than to collect fees from it. He called atten- tion to the expensive operations of the county jail, the inmates of which, he thought, are largely victims ‘of alcohol. Five prominent druggists in a large city of the county have written the speaker, according to his remarks, urging him to advocate legislation of the eradication of the state laws cover- ing the sale of liquors in drug stores. in closing he asserted that druggists were doing more harm in debauching youth than saloons and the number of decent drug stores is growing very small. Discussion on Birds. “The Berlin Literdry society, at a meeting held last evening at the home of Miss Julla Hovey of Worthington ridge, enjoyed “A Talk on Birds” by Mrs. F. Benham, Mrs, Frank L. Wil- cox and Miss Ida Wilcox. The sub- Ject was most interesting. There was also a discussion of current events by Dr. George P. Dunham and Mrs. E. Stearns. Mrs. Benham spoke on the migra- tion of birds; Mrs. and Miss Wilcox on ““Our Common Winter Birds,” and Miss Emily Brandegee on “Birds of Killingworth.” The next meeting of the Literary be held Monday evening, December 7, at which time the local playwright, Harry James Smith, will give a paper on “‘The Modern Drama.” Miss Caroline Savage and Robert Deming will talk on current events.

The commissioners, while granting a renewal of the license, despite the op- , virtually decided for the re- monstrants as they had concentrated their efforts on having the patrons discontinue the use of the Whiting street entrance, which they declared caused the immediate locality to be made a rendezvous of idlers and other undesirable characters. At the hearing a week ago, the re- monstrants declared that the side en- | trance should be taken away from the cafe. They declared that ‘“bums" made Whiting street, near this door. a hang-out and that the entrance did much to encourage ‘‘can parties,” par- ticularly among minors. Mr. Murphy told the board that he was willing to make any changes that the members might suggest and that the entrance had the approval of the commissioners a few years ago. No changes had been made since, although he was agreeabie to whatever the board favored. Murphy’s cafe now has but a singie entrance. This morning ther- was a disposition on the part of some to criticise the decision of thae commis- sioners on the grounds that the 'saloon as a public place shov.d have two exits for safety in case of fire, if for no other reason. The town’s fire com- missioners, or fire marshal either, they believed, would have the authority to order the Whiting street door opened, should they see fit. Mr. Murphy will probably abide by the decision of the board, however, and it is not like that any other officials will be appealed to. Ttalians Are Recovering. At the New Britain hospital this morning it was said that the condi- tion of Felix and Frank Pulamno, who received numerous stab wounds in a fratricidal struggle on Maple street Sunday night, are in comfortable shape and unless unlooked for complica- tions set in, the men should be in shape to stand trial within a week. That one of them at least was not fatally injured is considered remark- able as many of the wounds on both bodies are close to vital spots. Their cuts are healing satisfactorily and within a week the hospital authorities believe they can patch them up well enough to permit of their appearance in court. ‘While both charged with counts will undoubtedly be when they are given a hcaring. the evidence in the possession of the authorities points to Frank as the instigator of the fight, it is probable that a charge of assault with intent to murder will he pressed against him. Friends of the injured broth- ers declare that he has threatened to kill. Fellx on several occasions and that the latter did his best to pre- vent a clash in which cither of them might be harmed.

Isaac Rudenski of Hartford, whose dry goods wagon was stripped of the Potter | clothes it contained Saturday night by thieves who visited the barn of Fred- erick Callen on East street, where the vehicle was kept, has furnished the police with a description of the miss- ing articles and the officers expect to get trace of the culprits through the sale of some of the plunder. Rudenski’s inventory shows the following articles to have been taken: Two brown overcoats, two blue suits, two gray suits, two pairs of corduroy trousers, two pairs of serge trousers, a half dozen suits of men’s under- wear, three gray flannel shirts, ten working shirts, three boys’' sweaters, one woman’s sweater, three union suits, two skirts, five children’s over- coats, one child’s rain cape, one pair woman’s shoes.

AN DYKE SILENT e | American Minister to the Netherlands Returns Home o Visit Oculist, New York, Nov. 24-—Henry Van Drke, Netherlands, reached here today from The Hague, aboard steamshiz Rotterdam, The suggestion, published originally in Amsterdam, that the time was ripe for the Tnited States and the Netherlands to in con- American ninister to th the act | cert to bring about peace in Europe was brought to his attention. He re- fused to comment on it. He was asked if the report was true that he was the bearer of a sug- gestion, looking toward such action, from the government of Holland to the United States. To this, also, he declined to reply Apparently Dr, Van Dyke anticipat- ed being questioned by reporters, for wien they boarded the ship at quar- antine and sought him out he ‘had ready for them a statement which he had prepared in advance.
