Miller’s Coop Last Night -G, .B. Jones Sells Property— Briefs. The fifteenth anniversary of the St. | Paul's Y. M. T. A, & B. society was fittingly celebrated last evening in St. Paul's parish with an entertain- ment, banquet and dance. Addresses ™, Hon. Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden and by Rev. J. C. Brennan were great- ly appreciated by the Tabs and their PRESIDENT C. B. FAGAN. guests. Rev, J. J, Fitzgerald and Rev. M. J. Regan, who were sched- ul¥d for addresses were unable to at- tend because of illness. Opening remarks we guests were made by Pres Fagan, who spoke as follows: “In behalf of St. Paul's T. A. & society T bid you one and all a cordial and a hearty welcome to this, our . fifteenth anniversary. “Fifteen years ago last Sunday night our former pastor, Rev. Dr. M. A. Sullivan called a meeting of the men of the parish to form a society of total abstainers, and found fifteen men responding t6 his plea. I am the B. oming dent C. proud to say that a goodly number | aré with us tonight and still loyal to their pledge. To Promote Temperance. “The society was organized to pro- mote temperance in all, by advice and example, and t6 impress upon the giinds of young men the importance bf sebriety and self respect, Young uen are admitted into thé organiza- tion at the age of sixteen years and any young man who is a practical tholic and has reached that age should enrole at the earli possible date. . If you have a brother who .is eligible to join do not hesitgte to make the suggestion to him, for. his, as well as your own future good. The | society ‘nas continued and prospered and has accomplished the purpose for which it was organized. It is a credit to our church, our town and the in- dividual members themselves, and I trust will continue as such. for vears to come, “The committee in charge has spared neither time or expense to make the event one of the best in the history of the organization, and we trust the fine program and banquet which has been prepared will be appreciated.” Rev. J. C. Brennan. Rev. J. C. Brennan, the first speaker of the evening, was introduced by President Fagan, Tather Brennan | spoke briefly, ¢congratulating the mem- bers of the society upon the occa- sion of its anniversary.. He said that | temperance wuas a splendid cause to strive for, and although- there were many obstacles, hardships and dis- | couragements, the members of the St. | Paul. society showed that they were able to weather the storm. The | speaker.said it is impossible to legis- i latc morals in a community, but they | are dependent -upon .one’s self. In i closing his- remarks, Father Brennan | urged every member to live up to the itrue Christian standards, and he iwished untold prosperity and good fortune to the organization, i President Fagan introduced the Hon, Thomas L. Reilly, the speaker of the evening, with the rollowing re- marks: “The president of this great United States has assumed the policy of, ‘watchful waiting’ and has heen so far successful in preserving peace in this country. “You have likewise been following that same policy here tonight in wait- ing to.hear:- remarks from one who | has so faithfully served our state and country during the last congress and whom President Wilson has said ‘is a champion of public interest.” It 1s { my pleasure therefore to introduce to you Hon, Thomas L. Reilly of Meri- den, Conn.” Mr. opening | tuld the audience that he would make | @ short speech as he did not wish to | | teilly on Temperance. in his address Mr. Reilly wke up any of its time for dancing ard eating. He said that it pieasure for him to return to Kens ton to meet several of his old time triends, Ex-Congressman Reilly spent the early days of his youth in | Kensingten at the home of his la- mented uncle John F. Fagan. = He 1cmarked that he thougnt it was a family reunion when he first slanced over the prog saw the names of Reilly, Kinir: four Fagans, all relations of his, ii. Mr. Reilly to any T.

When ne remarked to a friend before entering the hall that he couid not undersiand why he was invited as the orator of tae even- ing since he did not belong to ai temperance society, the friend joking- Iy remarked that probably he had been invited as horrible mple.” Mr. Reilly satd that he azreed with the former speaker, Rev. J. C. Brennan that the regulation of morals was a personal affalr and could not be regulated by law. He said that the St. Paul's society of Ken- sington - was = comparatively: mueh smaller t.he,n‘ nfiher 8such societies wa said he dves not belong | | {pose the St. iaid | the | community, about the state, nevertheless, in pro- porition with the others it could be held up as an example. He con- gratulated the society for 1ts rapid growth notwithstanding the changes in the community which naturally would have hindered its growth. Effect in Washington. A clear insight into temperance as applied to the national government at Washington was given by the ex- ccngressman. He said that total ab- stinence or temperance today at Washington is quité = different from what it was fifteen years ago. It has heen said by close observers of the conditions as they existed fifteen years @go that the saloons under the domes cf the nation’s house and senate were the best paying saloons in Washing- ton at that time. He said he could recall several in- stances where these saloons wreaked great havoc upon officials, many of them spending almost their entire salaries in the saloons. He told of one man who was sent to Washington who spent only forty days in the nouse while there. Reports showing what he was doing proved that he was not a member of St. Paul's society or any other temperance union in the country, He said that it is a credit to the nation that these saloons have been done away with, The doing away with these saloons showed that we are coming to total abstinence. A man who expects to retain the con- fidence of those who sent him to the czpitol cannot afford to get drunk. Temperate Representatives. The speaker said that even those who are not temperate as well as those who sell liquor do not like to see their public bfficials under the influence of liquor. Drinking leads ta public scandal. He said that the sentiment among the 445 members of the lower house today is in favor of temperance while a large number believe in total abstinence. The time has gone by when it was considered smart for a young man to become intoxicated. He said that it was impossible for a man to re- tain the “fespect of his family, the community or the public at large if he was intemperate. Speaker Can- nen, the, veteran of national public life, who has served for thirty-six years and is geing back to congress next vear, once told Mr. Reilly that he could count more than ten times over -the fingers of both hands, the names of many big, brainy, brilliant young men whose public career was cut short because of drink and the evils derived therefrom. He said that the. curse of the American pub- lic life today is the drink curse. A temperance society is a better safe- guard for -thig country than either the army ‘or navy. The best citizen in the long“fun is the citizen who is temperaté, “In times of ‘stress the reliance bf 4 nation depends upon its sober men.

In do- ing this they would not only be do- ing good for themselves but for their the state and the coun- try at large. They would be doing just as much good as those who offer. their lives up for their flag. He urged cleanliness and that the voung men should refrain from us- ing profain language and blasphemy as much as possible. He said that they should not only be cleaner mor- ally, physically and mentally, but to be clean in their language which they used.

A N v o Pe News LEADER OF RIOTERS GETS TERM IN JAIL| Thomas Coylc and James Smith of New Britain in Court Here. GULTY GF BECGING ON STREETS Ilead of Gang Which Starved Memor- able Fight of Two Years Ago Falls Into Hands of Local Authorities— Checks for Dead Trees Arrive. Thomas Coyle, the ‘recognized leader of the gang which started the memorable riot here two years ago, made his second appearance in the local court this morning when he was put to plea before Justice A. H. Con- dell for drunkenness and vagrancy. He was arraigned with James Smith, also of New Britain, and after they had admitted their guilt sentences of sixty days in jail were 1mposed on cach of them. Both made pleas for leniency but Justice Condell said that their records showed that they had failed to take advantage of chances pieviously offered them and he had no alternative but to send them to Jail, Officer Philip Marino arrested the pair late last night. He had received complaints that they had been begging aboul the streets ear in the evening and had seen them “rushing the can’ for a “beer party” in progress in ths rcar of Russell's block. Citizens had informed him that they had given nioney to the men to enable them to get out of town but they used it in buying liquor instead. Two of the officer's witnesses, who agamst the prisoners didn’'t show up in court until after the men had agreed to plead guilty and their services were not needed. One of them, an employe cof Deputy Sheriff Hart, told the court that the latter had told him to remain at work as it was unnecessary for Iim to attend the hearing as no papers had been served on him. Smith told the court that he had been arrested six or seven times in New Britain for intoxication. He said he had work to go to and if he was given a chance he would promise to stop drinking. Coyie was In court in New Britain eight times for a variety of offenses and was also fined here for his connection with the riot of 1913. He has been out of jail but a few days and he begged for another chance, The court couldn’t see how a fine or suspension of judgment would be of use to\either of the men and the recommendation of Grand Juror S. 8. Gwillim that sentences of thirty days on each count be imposed was ac- cepted. Checks for Trecs Arrive, Checks for twenty-four local prop- erty owners in settlement of the Gamage which they suffered as a re- sult of the loss of trees, killed by gas, were deposited at the local natiomal bank last evening by the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company. In the aggregate they amount to $4,455. The checks cover the loss of the property owners who put their claims in the hands of the special committee, separ- ate settlements having been made with a few who had their own at- torneys. As soon as they sign the necessary veuchers, relieving the company from further liability the property owners will receive the money due them. The matter of settling the claim of the town for the damage Wwhich the selectmen claim it sustained will be considered later. Judge Henney is now preparing to take it up with Attorney N. E. Pierce, the tramway company's legal representative. Given Miscellaneous Shower. | Mrs. Joshua Pinder, a bride of three | days, was tendered a miscellaneous shower last evening at the hame of Miss Allene Bunnell on Broad street. Covers were laid for twenty-six and each of the guests was presented with | a Yama Yama cap, bearing the “Circle | T,” the trade mark of the Trumbull| Electric company, in whose plant Mrs. | Pinder was employed for the past three years. Musical selections, both instrumen- tal and vacal, were enjoved. Mrs. Pinder, prior to her marriage on Sat- urday, was Miss Alice Peace. Funeral of Mrs. Stoutenburgh. Funeral services for Mrs. Ida Stout- enburgh, whose death occurred yes- terday, will be held tomorrow after- noon at 2:30 at the home of her sister, Mrs. Moody of Ledge Road. Rev. J. W. Denton, pastor of the Advent Christian church, will offi- ciate. The interment will be in West cem._ | etery, Selectmen May Complain. The selectmen have sent a query to the public utilities commission for information regarding the rule con- cerning the aperating of freight cars not equipped with air brakes on trol- ley lines. The local board is under the impression that the commission recently issued an order forbidding the aperation of trolley cars carry- ing freight unless the same had air brakes. The hauling through the streets to the plant of the Hart and Hutch- inson company in New Britain of freight cars from the tracks of the steam railroad is responsible far the selectmen’s inquiry. There have been many complaints against this practice, chiefly because of the damage, said to be done to the highways by the deep flanges on the wheels of the cars, but the téwn has never found any way to force its discontinuance. If the air brake rule ¢overs the sit- dignity of the country by upholding sobriety. Sobriety will bring us as a nation through any crisis which may arise. Hon. Thomas L. Reilly closed his address by reciting a poem of his own composition, “Your Flag and My Flag.” Musical Program. The musical part of the entertain- ment was furnished by Miss Mary Ndonan, Miss Margaret Sullivan, John Kiniry and John Jackson, all artists from New Britain. John Kiniry sang “When Its Moonlight in Mayo” and “Good-bye Girls I'm all Through' in an entertaining manner. ‘’'Till the Stars Have Ceased to Shine,” was rendered by Miss Noonan. She gave as an encore “'If I Had a Sweetheart Like You.” John Jackson very cap- ably sang “I Hear You Calling Me." Miss Sullivan presided at the piane. After the entertainment the Tabs and their guests retired to the ban- quet hall where an appetizing menu was served by colored waiters. John A. Hart catered the following ap- petizing menu: Oyster Cocktail. Celery Olives Tomato Soup Roast Vermont Turkey Mashed Potatoes June Peas Cranberry Sauce Lettuce Salad French Dressing Ice Cream Cake Toasted Crackers and Cheese Coftee After the supper fourteen dances were enjoyved, the music being fur- nished by McKeon's orthestra. The grand march was lead by President C. B. Fagan and Miss Anna Carey. Officer William J. Ritchie prompted. The hall was artistically decorated in pink, green and white. The ban- quet hall was decorated with flags. Committee in Charge. The success of the affair reflects much credit upon the committze which had charge of the affair. The following committee, of which John A. Moore was chairman, made the arrangements: Christopher B. Fagan, John A. Fitzgerald, James C. Hart, William Ryan, George W. Sullivan, Albert Bergeron, Paul Giana, Henr)y Fagan, Edward J. Moore, Philip Fagan, Michael Hart, Joseph Carbo, James E. Corr, William Binardo, Wil- liam W. Fagan. Chicken Thief Raids Miller’s Coop. After a short period of inactivity the chicken thievés have again in- vaded Berlin. Charles H. Miller of Hudson street is the victim and he is mourning the loss of five of his best Rhode Island Reds taken from his henneries some time last night. The thief did not leave the slightest clue behind and it is probable that he will never bhe apprehended. Before locking up his coops last night Mr. Miller counted over his chickens and found eighteen. This morning he was startled on find- ing them to be only thirteen in number. A close scrutiny of the vard failed to locate the miss- ing fowl. Mr. Miller jis positive that the thief was a bird fancier and knew something about chickens. The marauder chose five of his plumpest and most highly prized birds. The loss will amount to about eight dol- lars. The coop from where the chickens were stolen is situated near the house where Mr. Miller resides. The thief evidently worked very carefully as not the least noise or squawk was heard. Dog Licenses Coming in Slowly. There are but three days left for licensing dogs after which an extra dollar will be charged to delinquents, still only about one-quarter of the dog owners have secured licenses. Town Clerk Shaw says that this year has been the slowesgt for securing thé licenses since he has been town clerk of Berlin. He expects to do a rush. ing business the next few days. Jones Sells Property. A warranty deed filed with Town Clerk Shaw yesterday records that G. B. Jones of Berlin has sold to A. J. and Anna Frank, one acre of land on Turnpike Road, with the buildings thereon. The land is bounded on the north by land of Emma and John Seibert, east by the highway and south and west by the land of J. E. Root. Berlin Briefs.

That there is but little fear of the spreading of diphtheria among the children in the local schools is the opinion of the health officer and mem. bers of the school board and one of the school committeemen stated to- for alarm to the parents. Every- thing possible has been done to free the school buildings of any germs | that might have been carried into the rooms by children who assoeiated | with the youngsters now i1l with diph- theria. - The raoms have been thor- oughly fumigated and the health of- ficer has advised the school board that there is no need of closing the school. Some parents, thé school béaard members believe, * are needlessly alarmed over the fear of contagion and they have kept their children home from school. The board, does nat believe that their action is nec- essary as the members are of opinion that the youngsters attending school are in no danger of catching the disease. Brief Items.
