Through the generosity of the American Paper Goods company of Kensington, employes of, the factory are able to indulge in baseball and other outdoor sports during the noon hour and Saturday. The company at its own expense have had a lot laid out as a baseball diamond. The em- ployes. of the factory, assisted, but the greater expense' was borne py the officials of. the factory. * It is also understood that the com- pany proposes to have a tennis court uaid out in order that the fair sex may also be able to enjoy themselves, In this way the American Paper Goods is keeping up with the most progres- sive companies in the country by com- bining pleasure with work. g Rain Disturbs Slumber. It's a cruel, cruel world. Such is probably the- opinion of a knight of the road who was peacefully slum- bering on the wayside th:s morning _near Ventres’ blacksmith shop on Farmington road. The hobo was evi- dently sleeping off a last night's Jag whn the rain dripping from a tree, ander which he slept, woke him. With a look that sent cold shivers down the spectators’ spines he arose and when last seen was wending his way towards New Britain. Attending Mangini Trial, A number from this town and Ken- sington went to Hartford this morning to attend the Mangini trial, which came up in superior court. Prosecu- tor William H. Gibney and Mr. and Mrs. Renaldi, at whose home it is al- leged the crime was committed, were gummoned as witnesses for the state. Brickyards Short of Help, Although it 1s reported that a large number are walking the streets in the cities the brick manufacturers of this town complain' that they are unable to secure sufficlent help. This is the busiest time of the year ror the brick manufacturers.. All of the plants in Eerlin are receiving their share of the orders and are having difficulty in filling them. 3 The Murray Brick company, which is one of the most pregressive con- cerns of its kind in the state, expects to have its automatic apparatus in- stalled in a few weeks. Electric motors and automatic shovelers are being installed which will turn out the work with greater speed. One prominent brick manufactur- ing, it is proving to be a boon to the industry. Many large manufacturing concérns about the country are mak- ing entensive enlargements on their ‘oulldings and the brick concerns of Berlin and Kensington are more than bricks: The Union Metallic company of Bridgeport, which has been receiving large war orders for amunitions from the belligerents in Europe, making large improvements on its factories. The Metallic company, wishing to have its bricks in a short ime, has placed its orders with many brick manufacturing plants about the state. Several plants in Berlin have received large orders from this con- cern. Richard Murray, of the Murray Brothers Brick company, said that his concern was more than rushed with receiving their share of tne orders for | has been, large orders. He said that the plant was handicapped in not being able to secure the right kind of laborers. L Berlin Briefs. Mrs. jRoger Chantion of Waterford is visiting Mies Etta L. Graham of Hudson street.

These fraternal delegates, twenty in number, reg- istered fat convention headquarters yesterday and are taking part in the procedirfgs. Miss Jeonora O'Reiily, who was a delegate) to the Women's Interna- tional peace conference at the Hague Was alsq to appear before the conven- tion today and report on her mission to Europe, - In th1 afternoon the delegates are to take b sightseeing automobile ride and attend a reception tendered by the local organization of the Woman's Suffrage (party, Plainville News et DRAGNET IS SPREAD FOR AUTO DRIVERS Marino Gets Quintet for Failing to Have Rear Lamps Burning TWO0 FINED IN COURT TODAY Three Others Will Be Arraigned To- morrow—Motorist: Who Refused to Tell His Name May Face Addi- tional Charges—Briefs. Following the example set by ae energetic police of Bristol, the local prosecuting authorities have started a campaign against autoists who neg- lect to keep the tail lamps on their machines burning and as a result of the activities already displayed by Patrolman Philip Marino two motor- ists paid fines of $1 with the costs of court added this morning. Three others were notified by Grand Juror S. 8. Gwillim to put in appearance tomorrow morning. Arraigned this morning before Jus- tice A. H. Condell were Frederick E. Howd of Thomaston and Clifford Dal- ey of Bristol. They were in the first batch caught in the meshes of tae auto dragnet spread out last night by Officer Marino. Howd was the first put to plea. He admitted his guilt, offering as an excuse tne fact | that as he uses an oil lamp the light the car in court becomes extinguished when is jarred. Daley reported | 1ater and a fine of $1 and costs was also charged to him. The total was $6.01. The owner of driver’s license “812" employed by the Britton company of Hartford, may have to face a series of charges when he shows up in court tomorrow. His employes will be notified by Prosecutor Gwilim to have him report at 10 o’clock in the morning for a hearing. His car was among those without a tail light stopped by the officer. Acording to Marino the man in charge of the car evidently had been drinking and was inclined to be fresh when halt- ed. He refused to give his name and invited the policeman to go for a ride with him. Officer Marino copied the number of the car “100 D.” At the secretary of state’s office Prosecutor Gwilllm was advised this morning that the Britton company held this license. The office did not have a rec- ord showing the name of the owner of driver's number “812.”" It is probable that the man will be carged with refusing to give. his name as well as other auto law violations. Prosecutor Gwillim and Justice Con- dell this morning advised the officer that he should have demanded the driver’s license and should have locked him up for not giving his name. Others notified to appear for a, hearing tomorrow morning are H. L Loomis of Watertown and James Norton of Saybrook. The names of these men appear on the record in the secretary of state’s office with the numbers copied from cars which the officer discovered passing through the town with the rear lamps not burn- ing. Since the advent of the jitney 1n jitney in Plainville complaints about motorists have been numerous and the campaign against the violators of the law governing lghts is probably the result. The town differs from ci- ties inasmuch as it cannot draft or- dinances or rules governing the oper- ation of jitneyvs or other cars and tae authorities will have to resort to ‘he state laws now in force to make any attempt to regulate them. Justice Condell and Grand Jurr Gwillim will probably be kept busy during the next few weeks handling the cases of the auto law violators if the campaign is waged with the earn- estness displayed in its inauguration and operators of motor cars will be called on to fatten the town treas: = with the fines levied against them. Team Had No Light. In ccnnection with his efforts to round up autoists whose machines were without lights Officer Marino had occasion to conside the case of a teamster who had a wagon not equipped with a lantern standing near Central square. The outfit was { owned by Michael McGill of Forest- ville. McGill made a satisfactory explan- ation to the officer and he was not asked to appear in court. The team was in charge of one of McGill's em- ployes and was sent on a trip to Southington early in the day. It was expected that it would be back in the barn before dusk and the driver failed to attach a lantern to it. On his way back from Southington the drive: let the horse get beyond his control and a runaway resulted. The incident delayed him for some time and it was dark by the time. the outfit reached Plainville. McGill had heard of the runaway and he came to Plainville to meet the driver. His explanation satisfted the pdlice- man and he was allowed to go. “Drys” to Meet Tonight. Local prohibitionists will attend g meeting ¢l the Pequabuck Valley No License league to be held in the Con- gregational Parish house in Bristol this evening when plans for the cam- paign to be waged against saloons in Bristol, Terryville and Plainville at the fall electionis will be formulated. The league is preparig to conduct a vigorous campaign in the three places and the members seem confi- dent of success, particularly in Plain- ville and Bristol. The neighboring city has been in the “dry” column for nearly two years and the prohibitionists hope to keep it there after the October elec- tion. Both elements are aiready at work lining up the voters and by mid-summer the campaign will be on in earnest. Nothirg definite seems to have been done by the no license people in Plainville. since the last election but surface indications all point to a stub- born fight again this fall. The church people will be represented .at the meeting in Bristol tonight and it is expected that the three places will conduct a fight together, the temper- ance workers getting speakers of | prominence to give addresses in Plainville as well a Bristol. | Native Strawberries In. Nattve strawberries and peas made their apnéarance in the local market yesterday for the first time this sea- | son. The serson has been backward for “egetables of all kinds and the pro- duce men have had troublesome times. The ¢old weather and frost coming without warning raised havoc with some of the crops and damage to veg- etation which resulted was attended | by big losses to the farmers. | Fear Blanders Spread. First Selectman W. J. Johnson thls morning issued orders to have the use of ‘public watering troughs in town aiscontinued owing to the prevalence of | glanders among hdrses in New Brit- ain. The water in the troughs has been shut off. The selectman’s action is taken as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the dread disease to Plainville. While there are no cases | here there is a mild epidemic in the | neighboring city and as the disease | may easily be carried the selectman was advised to take steps to minimizc the danger of contagion. | New Britain peddiers drive their ! horses through ~Plainville regularly, | and as they use the watering troughs there is a possibility of the glanders | germs being communicated to local | equines. | When the danger of contagion is | passed the troughs will be disinfected and they will again be put in ser- | vice. Special Trolleys for Banquet. , | The Bristol and Plainville Tramway company has arranged to run special trolley cars to accommodate those who will attend the third annual banquet of the Young Men’s Catholic club to be served at Lake Compounce Thurs- day night. The club has several Plainville members and the town will be well represented at the banquet. The dinner will be served in the| Casino which will be decorated in pink and white with the national colors in- termingling. There wil be an address of welcome by J. L.
