The Hardware City has b-cn made the defendant in a number of suits prought by East Berlin parties, among | which are the BEast Berlin Milling company, Richard Beckley, Mrs. Mec- Clintock and Mr. Budack. Since the local board of selectmen pccompanied Mayor George A.

Prosecuting Attorney William H. Gibney today resumed his investiga- tion into the accident on New Brit- ain road Saturday night in which Oscar Beckstrom, a New Britain hod carrier, lost his right leg. Motorman Andrew Nelson and Conductor G, E Provost, who are alleged to have responsibility, have not yet been approached. This afternoon the prosecuting at- torney examined the report which the trolley crew made to Superintendent Frank L. Beardsley of the New Brit- ain division. He consulted Mr. Beardsley yesterday afternoon for tae purpose of securing the report, but was informed that it had already been sent to the Hartford office. A number of those who were pas- on' the car which is thought have run over fthe unfortunate man, have volunteered information to Mr. Gibney. One man called the prosecutor on the telephone last night and made an engagement with him. He claimed to know all the circum- stances.

The Herald printed the same cut I at the time when Mr. Jones was fin- ishing his work a short time ago. i Change in Bank Charter. Representative Roger M. Griswold has introduced a petition in the house | and lunch. relating to banks, and to conform with the statutes, it will be necessary to change a word here and there in the charter. Dr. Griswold will make an effort to get the state appropriation of $4,500 for the Connecticut state fair associa- ; tion of Berlin again this year. To ask for more money at this time, when expenses are being cut all around, would be out of the question. No Opposition to Nominees. There was no opposition to the names of George G. Griswold and ex- Senator Claude W. Stevens when they were taken up by the judiciary com- mittee of the general assembly yes- terday as nominees for the judgeship and deputy judgeship of the Berlin police court Owing to the fact that Representative Griswold was called away, Representative E. W. Schultz, of New Britain, appeared at the hear- ing in the interests of the candidates whom the doctor had recommended. Alr. Stevens will succeed Charles F. Lewis, superintendent at the Ameri- can Paper Goods company, who takes over the reins of the local tax collec- torship in May.

TRUMBULLS “MOVIES” HIT WITH HOME FOLKS Local Manufacturcr Gives Interest- ing Tak on Wyzming. HOUSE “SOLD CUT” FOR TONIGHT Assured of Substantial Profit for Library I‘und—Egan Gave Permit—C(Claimed to Be An Indian. Having assurance of another capa- city house this evening all having been disposed, members of the Woman's today had cause for gratification over the success guar- anteed for the lecture and picture exhibit given by John Trumbull for the benefit of the brary fund. The ladies were elated this morning aver the enthusiasm of the townspeople and the manner in which they gave their patronage to the movement which it is expected will eventually make possible the erec- tion of a new building for the pub- lic library. Not only tickets club motion H. li- was the “S. R. O.” sign in evidence early last evening when Mr. Trumbull gave his first Plain- ville lecture on his recent hunting expedition in the wilds of Wyoming but it was necessary to turn away a number of people before the en- tertainment started, so great was the attendance. Mr. Trumbull’'s trip was a most interesting one and the peo- ple of the town were amxious to hear a recital of his experiences and to witness the detalls of life among the cowpunchers in that part of the west that is still untamed as de- picted in the motion pictures taken by one of the members of the local manufacturer’s party. They also de- sired to co-operate with the Woman’s club in its efforts to raise funds for the Ilibrary and as a result the sale of tickets was extremely large. Mr. Trumbul talk was greatly enjoyed. He gave all the details of his visit in the Jackson Hole coun- try, told of his experiences in hunting elk and mountain sheep and graphi- cally described the cowbays who spend their lives on the ranches. Near- ly a mile of motion picture film, which Mr. Trumbull had taken by an expert during his trip, was shown. The audience was greatly pleased. with the picturesque scenery and en- joved the pictures of cowboys ‘‘bust- ing’”” bronchos, roping steers, branding cattle and doing other ‘“chores” that fall to their lot. The trapping of a coyote is one of the most novel features of the pic- ture series. The camera man suc- ceeded In getting a good.picture of tne animal as it was held in the jaws of the steel trap. Hunting elk was also explained in the pictures. About 350 people, including a num- ber from New Britain and Bristol, were entertained by the lecture last evening and the sale of tickets indi- cates that the Town hall will accom- modate an equal number tonight, when Mr, Trumbull repeats his story. &m: Gave Permit, Permission to operate a motion picture machine in the Town hall for Mr. Trumbull's lectures was secured yvesterday afternoon from Chief Egan of the state police force after a rep- resentative of that department came ‘nere to look over the building. While the officer believed that the circumstances in connection with this entertainment warranted the granting of a permit, he explained that with- out extensive changes in the lay-out of the building the department would have to refuse ot allow motion pic- tures to be shown in the building with any degree of regularity, On account of the fire hazard the rules governing motion picture shows are very strict and unless every pos- sible precaution for the safety of the audlence is taken, the police refuse to glve permits for an entertainment of this character. To make the Town mnall suitable for motion picture shows, changes would have to be made in tne exits, Chief Egan’'s representative explained, and it would also be necessary to put fire escapes on the building. There is not much demand for the hall for motion pictures and it is doubtful if the selectmen will go to the expense necessary to make the changes recommended by the state police.
