LOCAL NEWSPAPERS Yo » ex-Senator Claude W. Stevens, BRICE THREE CENTS. NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1915 —TWELVE PAGES. MUCH MUD SLINGING AT BERLIN MEETING ‘Administra{ion Criticised, Colleclor Scored, “Star Chambers” Deplored. BOOKKEEPING SYSTEM ADOPTED #Recommedations of Special Commit- tee Acepted—Vote to Remove Tel- ephones—Resolution Censuring Ex- Senator Stevens Defeated. # Personalities were indulged in and some bitter things which were said made the second adjourned annual town meeting in the Berlin Town hall last evening one of the hottest ever. At times it was almost impossible to preserve order ad frequently speakers were hissed. Although the adminis- tration wag scored, as predicted, much of the criticism was directed at +Tax Collector Elmer E. Austin and at a certain body of voters who were <accused of trying to railroad matters "in an alleged star chamber session. The so-called “opposition” faction from Kensington presented a num- ber of resolutions which were passed, one of which provided for the elim- ination of three of the town tele- phones, one for the payment of $50 to each of the three members of the ispecial committee, one for the instal- ! lation of a new and modern system.of bookkeeping in the town clerk and treasurer’s office and another for the continuance of the special committee until August, when another meeting is to be held. Richard B. Murray, the prominent Berlin brick manufacturer, intro- % duced a resolution to the effect that who is the chairman of the special com- mittee, be censured for withholding extenuating circumstances relating to an apparent deficit of $831 in the ac- counts of the town court. It failed 7 $o pass. a Would Print New Reports. For several fmoments after Mod- erator Clark nad called the meeting and Town Clerk Shaw had read the minutes of the last meeting, there was silence in the room. Finally William . H. Webster launched out with a resolution to the effect that the original town report, with the cerrections of the special committee, be accepted and placed on file. After ¢ Questioning- Selectman Gibney and > learning. that to print 700 coples of the revised report would involve an expente of about ninety dollars, he made a suggestion that the report, as corrected, be printed so that copies could be placed in the hands of those who preserve the town reports from year to year. “About a month ago, a solemn con- clave was held here,” said Richard B, Murray, “to formulate plans by which expense could be saved. The watchword was economy. Now that the town has gone to the expense of printing the special committee's re- port, why not let this statement sup- plement the original town report just as it is?” Dean After “Star Chamber” Men, Mr. Murray had barely time to be- come seated before 1. O, Dean,, a Blue Hills resident, demanded the floor, and in a burst of oratory such as has seldom been heard on the floor of the Town 'hall, attacked those who had taken part in “star chamber” sessions, He had been informed through the paper, he said, that a select body of men had seen fit to meet in the town court room to dis- cuss the matters of the towpn with the town officers. Later, according to the information he had received, another body of voters held another “star chamber pow-wow'’ in Kensing- ton. “I am one of the large majority who did not attend either of these meetings,” declared the speaker, “and I'am proud to say that I did not find it necessary to lock myself behind closed doors with a few ofhaer voters, and a few town officers possibly,-to act on matters concerning the entire town,” he shouted. “If these people were acting in good faith with their fellow townsmen, why couldn’t every- body who wanted to attend thelr ~ meetings? The special committee was appointed by the whole people of the town and any explanations the members have to make should be given before the voters as a whole and not before only a few of the so- called ‘political "leaders.’” The peo- vle of 7 wn of Berlin are capable of han this question and they are going . do so, ‘star chamber’ sessions or nas > Too Tender for Office. Turning upon Tax Collector Elmer . Austin, who sat in the front row, Mr. Dean, alluding to him as the *“jl- lustrious gentleman,” questioned him about the $15.000 in taxes which have been owed to the town for many years, “We demand to know why the other man does not pay his 7 taxes!” he shouted. “I would like to state that when the gentleman came to me, he made me pay mine with full interest. Such stories as those relat- ing to poor widows and orphans are told, being offered as reasons for the large amount of uncollected taxes. I know that poor widows and orphans own a very small portion of that $15,000. I yield second place to no one in town as regards charity to- (Continued on Ninth Page.) SEPARATE PEACE BY AUSTRIA IMPROBABLE Military Organization of Dual Mon- archy in Hands of Germany, Declares Italian Newspaper. Rome, April 9:15 p. m. via Paris, April 6, 5:30 a. m.—An effort by Austria to conclude separate peace is considered highly improbable by the Giornale D'Italia, which de- i clares the military organization of | the dual monarchy is in the hands of Germany forming with her “Only one body if not one soul.” The paper argues, therefor, that Germany might prevent even materially any effort of Austria to come to terms separately with the nations now arrayed against | her. Such a step also would humiliating to Austria in her rela- tions with Serbia, the Giornale D’Italia says, as well as a confession that the central empires considered themselves beaten. “Austria,” the paper says, ‘“repre- sents merely a military embarrass- ment for Germany, but she repre- sents also a large contingent of men and materials diverting the Russian avalanche from Germany., Germany might permit negotiations only if she desired them to be the first step to ward a general peace.” FRENCH AVIATOR BRINGS " DOWN GERMAN TAUBE Adelphe Pegoud Captures Pilot and Observer of Kaiser’s Aircraft. 5, be highly i | Paris, April 6, 5115 a. m.—Another daring exploit has been added to the long list of those successfully car- ried out by Adolphe Pegoud, the French aviator, who is reported to have attacked and brought down a German Taube near Saint Mene- hould, while he was alone on patrol duty April 2 The report of the incident says that when Pegoud saw the German approaching he flew rapidly towards the hostile aircraft and sent it to earth with a few well placed shots, He then landed beside the Taube and took prisoner the German pilot and observer, neither of whom was in- jured: v » Earller in the same day Pegoud is reported to have driven off three other German aeroplanes, one of which had dropped nine bombs on a railroad station, Pegoud, who first gained fame in 1913 as the originator of the feat of flying upside down in an aeroplane, was awarded the French military medal early in March for services rendered the army during the war, FRAUDULENT USE OF MAILS, Charged Against Clarence V. Baldwin Under Bail at Bridgeport. Hartford, April 6.—Clarence V. Bald- win is under bail at Bridgeport to ap- pear before United States Commis- sioner Wright at New Haven Thurs- day and answer to a charge preferred by District Attorney Frederick A. Scott on information from post office inspectors, that Baldwin is guilty of fraudulent use of ‘the mails. The | authorities claim to be in possession of evidence that Baldwin advertised in the papers, an opportunity for home industry and then through corres- | pondence as the Central Neckwear House he got his customers to send him $1 for a sample necktie and pieces of silk from which to make other ties. Almost invariably~the ties made were unsatisfactory and those who had been industrious at home received no recompense. It is expected Baldwin will contest the fraud charge on the ground that he made an actual sale of the necktie for $1. U. 8. Marshall Sidney E. Hawley took him into cus- =tody Saturday. i e l MASONIC BALL FRIDAY. | 1t is expected that masons from every city in the state and from near- by states also will be in attendance at the grand concert and ball to be given next Friday evening in Hanna's army. ‘Governor Marcus H.

Newport News, Va., April German converted cruiser Eitel Friedrich remained at her wharf this forenoon, plume of smoke floating lazily from one funnel.
