An ice cream peddler named Marker Confoy of North street,' Néew Britain, ‘while passing through Kensington yes- | terday morning remembered that 4 man in Hartford owed him a bill. Straightway Confoy brought his team. to a halt on the Beach Swamp road, tied his horse under a nearby shed, and took the next car for Hartford. This was at 11 o'clock in the morn- ing. At 8 o'clock last night neighbors noticing that the horse still remained under the shed, notified Officer W, J. Ritchie. The officer put up the out- ‘it in Kilby's stables, where it was later claimed by Confoy. ' Whether he collected the bill could not be ascer- tained. ' Sheriff Clark After Barrett.

Griswold of Kensington, who has just finished a term as a member of the Connecticut General Assembly, has expressed himself as neither a suffragist or an apti-suf- fragst.- He, however, has expressed some ideas about the rights of wom- en. Dr. Griswold is quoted as declar- ing that women already have more rights than men. - As far as voting goes Dr. Griswold sees no reason why. .women should not voté if they ‘want to, but he sees no reason why they should want to. . A woman has the property rights a man has in Connecticut. She can dispose of her property’ without the consent of her husband, but the husbdnd cannot sell his property .without his wife agree: ing to the sale. A woma can: do anything she wants to with her mon- ey, but the husband must provide for her as well as her children from his income. All the laws made by man are dis- tinctly favorable to women ‘in ' this state. What women can accomplish by making new laws cannot be seen. There is no immediate fleld for women, but all professions are open to her, as they are for the men, of course excepting those which require more physical strength than women usually have. e > Dr. Griswold pointed out that the duties of women are, first, she should be a wife, second, a mother and third, she should educate her children as well as she is able, Delegates to New Britain, Thomas' W. Emerson and ' C. F.

Brandey Plainville News T SHERIFF INDIGNANT READY T0 FAGE JURY Officer Hart Prepares (o Conlcsll Conviction n Bristol Court. PROTESTS AGAINST HIS ARREST Argues That He Did Not Violate Law —Trumbull Funeral Held in Bridge- port—Runaway Caught Here and Returned to County Home—Briefs. Indignant over his arrest and sub- sequent conviction for violating the liquor laws, Deputy Sherifft W. C. Hart has decided to contest in the superior court the decision of Judge W. J. Malone of Bristol, by which he was fined $5 and costs for delivering beer in a no-license town without having a written order from.the owner to show that he was acting as his agent. The sheriff also held himself responsible for the fine imposed on .James Lee, his teamster, &nd before .the higher tribunal he proposes to seek the dis- charge of himself and His.employe. He has notified .the Bristol court of his intention to appeal and it is prob- able that his case will be taken before State’s Attorney Alcorn in time to get it on the docket before the June term, opening next Tuesday. Sheriff Hart does not agree with Judge Malone in his interpretation of the statute governing the delivery of intoxicants and he is willing to allow a jury to decide on the merits of his claims. Hence his refusal to pay the assessment of $43 levied in the Bristol court yesterday. The officer maintains that he is a liveryman, and consequently recog- nized by the laws as a common car- rier. He frequently rents his teams without making any inquiries as to what use they are to be put.to and he cannot understan@. why .he should be held personally liable for goods car- ried by them. - ;i In the case in question he admits having knowledge that beer was to bé delivered, but he. maintains that the errand of his teamster -was legitimate inasmuch as he had been paid for the work and the liguor had been proper: ly purchased. He has done the same thing on other occasions and never gaye a thought -to the possibility of an arrest .resulting, . His teams had never been held up before and he supposed the Bristol authorities recog- nized his right as a ecommon carrier to make the deliveries. - When renting ‘his teams to saloon- keepers, who wished to deliver in For- estville or' Bristol, he always insisted on an agent, representing the liquor dealer, accompanying him, as he knew he would be vidlating the law by doing otherwise, Serving as a common car- rier for an individual, he believes, is entirely different and he feels con- fident that the superior court will con- cur in this opinion. He has been ad- vised that the law covering this point has never been interpreted in the higher court and he now proposes to test the ruling made yesterday. Attend Trumbull Funeral. " Plainville 's well represented at the funeral o’ isaac B. Trumbull, held this afternoc: from his home on Mill Hill avenue in Bridgeport, a number of friends going from here to pay their respects to his memory. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Trum- bull of Maple street, and his brothers, John H. and Henry. Trumbull, were among the mourners at the services. Former Plainville residents, now liv- ing in Bantam, who are employed in, the Trumbull-Vanderpool factory, in which the unfortunate young man was interested, also attended the funeral, making the trip ffom the Litchfield hills in automobiles. , The Bantam factory shut down at 10 o’clock this morning to give the employes an op- portunity to be present at the ser- vices. The body was brought to Bridge- port late yesterday. The steamer New York, .which brought the remains »f Mr, Trumbull and eight other victims of the Lusitania disaster, arrived in port yesterday. At the pier was Al- bert H. Trumbull, one of the young man’s brothers, who accompanied the body from New York to Bridgeport. With Rev. J.- O. Ferriss of New York officiating, the fumeral services were conducted at 2:80 o'clock this afternoon at the Trumbull home. The casket, which encased the body, was literally puried under huge floral trib- RN IR e of Kensington have left for a visit to Pine Orchard, Mr, and Mrs. J. L.

The boy had been loitering-around the center, soliciting funds to pay his fare to Waterbury, when the officer discovered him. The little fellow was cold and hungry and his story at first created a great deal of sympathy for him. He contradicted himself so much; however, that the suspicions of the policeman were aroused and he de- cided to put him in the lock-up. The boy then confessed that he was an inmate of the new Haven institution and had broken ranks when the boys were on their way to Bible class Sun- day making a getaway with Luke Fitzgerald, another youngster of his own age. The boys came to Plain- ville on a freight train‘and were try- ing to raise enough money to bring them to Waterbury where they ex- pected to get help from a sister of Bockwish. ! Bockwish told the officer that he had become separated from Fitzger- ald after the pair reached Plainville. The officials at the county home were notified of the boy’'s capture and today they sent a representative here bring him back. Bockwish told the local authorities that he is _an orphan and was committed to the home three years ago. He got tired of the monotony of life in the insti- tution and ran away Sunday, hoping to.find shelter at his sister's house. Fitzgerald could not bé located and the police in surrounding towns were notified to be on the look-out for him. Rebekah Whist. Martha Rebekah lodge gave a suc- cessful whist last evening in Odd Fellows hall. There was a good at tendance and the affair was thorough- ly enjoyed. First prizes went to Mrs. Mildred Morse of this place and George Coleman of New Britain. Mrs, E. D. Warfield and Hayden Grifith captured the second awards and the consolation favors went to Mrs. Florence Bunting and H. T. Charters. Going on Fishing Trip. John H.

Mr. Trumbull plans to devote a part of his vacation in.the lakes in northern Maine. Mr. Tisher’'s health has been poor for some time and he is making the trip in the hope that the rest will benefit him nhysically During Mr. Usher's absence, Mer- ritt O. Ryder will act as town clerk. He will be at the office during the noon hour and’ will maKe ° appoints ments for the transaction-of business at other times. On Superior Court Docket. True to his promise to Grand Juror S. 8. Gwillim and Justice A. H. Condell, State's Attorney Alcorn has put on the docket in the - superior court at the June term, which opens next Tuesday, the cases of Richard Cafferty, James McNally, Paul Leo- nard, Frank Graham. and Eugene Parkinson, convicted here some time ago of charges of breach of the peace, brought by Constable Philip Marino. The young men took appeals and it thhought in some quarters that their cases would be thrown out as being to trivial to try in the uppey court. The local - authorities, however, made a special plea to the state's at- torney to insist on a settlement of the fines imposed here or the alternative of a trial before a jury. They argued that a nolle would have the wrong moral effect on the young men thern- selves as well as ohers not showing the proper respect for the law. Mr. day, here Al¢orn agreed with them and stated | that he would list the cases for trial. The case of James A. Lutes, who appealed from a fine of $10 for refus- ing to exhibit his motor driver’s li- cense on demand of Officer Marino, is also on the docket. Won’t Answer Call to Colors. According to residents of the Italian districts here, subjects of King Eman- uel, mgking their homes in Plainville, are not particularly excited over the entrance of Italy in the war against the Teutonic forces, and it is unlikely that any of them will respond to the call to colors. ‘While their sympathies seemingly are with the land of their nativity they have no desire to return to fight and it is likely that they will remain here. » There are about two hundred Italians in Plainville, only a few of | Wwhom have been naturalized. Most of them are employed at the quarry near White Oak. Brief Items, Funeral services for Frederick G. Stephenson were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at his home on Church street, Rev. R. H.
