Holcamb designating Monday at ‘“Flag Day,” special exercises wil be observed at the .different schools in this town on that day. The children will be taught what the flag means to them and why it demands homage and reverence. “Flag Day” has .especial signifi- cance this year because of the great strife in Eurape. . In the proclama- tlon a- request is made that a gen. eral. display be made of ‘“Old Glory” on all public and private buildings. Local Lad to Wrestle. 4 A great deal of interest is being manifested about town, in the coming wrestling bout of Alvah Ventres. of this place and “Kid” Franklin of Hartford. The bout, will take place ‘Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock . in Fraternity hall, Comstock block, East Hartford. Ventres has made an enviable rep- utation for himself about the state as a grappler. . Although the local boy has been up, against some pretty stiff men he has yet to taste defeat. His opponent, Franklin, is also a wrestler of no small ability and it is said that Ventres will have his hands full when he grapples with him. Franklin is the champion of the' Major Athletic club,’ ‘Hartford, while " Ven- tres goes about with the title of Cham- pion of-Connecticut. The, local blucksmith demanstrated his abflity as 'a. wrestler last evening in New .Britain when he accepted the challenge of ‘a husky wrestler at the Moose Carnivdl.. ,The carnival grap- pler offered $5 to a,nybody who would stay on the mat with him for five minutes. Ventres not ony stayed the full five minutes but he almost downed his opponent. Miss Wilcox Entertains. Miss Margaret Wilcox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L.

THOMAS RYAN AND FAMILY. DECISION PLEASES DANIELS. ‘Washington, June 11.—Becretary Daniels today expressed himself as highly gratified over the decision of the federal didtrict court for the eastern district.of New York in the injunction -suit :brought by-the navy department against the -E. W. Bliss company, whereby that company was restrained from selling the so-called Bliss-Leavitt torpedo to forelgn pow- ers and from disclosing the secrets of manufacture to -any Indlvidu-.l. cor- | The attendanceat the: mission: ser-- cumulated a wealth of information on the subject. He has been selected to give the Congregational history at the anniversary observance. His talk will .| be a part of the historic service to be held on the morning of the 27th. -There will be a vesper service in the afternoon and a cantata by the church choir, followed by other exer- cises. Local ministers as well as ‘clergymen from Farmington, the mother town, will be be invited to speak at this time. The Congregational church is the oldest religious institution in Plain- ville, having been organized in March, 1840. In June of the same year the first church building was erected on Canal street and local Congregational- ists then left the Farmington church of that denomination where they had worshipped up to that time. Some years later the edifice now used was erected and it has since served as a house of worship. From a small beginning the church has grown steadily and it now has a large and influential membership. Its pastor, Rev. F. L. Grant, is one of the most - energetic clergymen in this lo- cality. To his untiring efforts for several years may be ascribed its rise to the position it now occupies. Regarding membership, Mrs. Mary E. Morse of Broad street, a nono- genarian, is the oldest person in town affiliated with the church. The oldest member, figuring from a point of age, is Mrs. Phoebe C. Cowles. She is now in her 101st year. A. N. Clark is an- other old member. Associated with the pastor in mak- irig arrangements for the anniversary celebration are R. C. Usher, Frederick Bullen and Miss Elizabeth Cowles. Another Autoist Fined. Another pair of auto drivers who came into Plainville without having tail lights on their machines ran afoul of Patrolman Philip Marino last night and were order to appear before .Jus- tice A H. Condell for violation of the motor vehicle laws. One of them, F. J. King of Water- bury, was in court this morning and was taxed the usual assessment, $1 and costs, making a total of $6.01. King at first entered a plea of. not guilty, but later changed it to guilty, explaining that he understood the writ to charge him with driving through the town without a light, whereas he only came as far as the center. He was arrested near the post office at 8:11, sixteen minutes after 'the time the law provides for the lighting of auto lamps. He had stopped his car to ignite the head- lights when the officer came upon him and arrested him because the tail light was not burning. King said he had the rear light burning when he left Hartford and he did not know it was out. 'Charles L. Holmes, his employer, declared that the driver was making no effort to evade the law. Grand Juror Gwillim and Justice Condell agreed that in this contention he was probably correct, but they had no course to pursue other than imposing the usual penalty. Had King per- sisted in his plea of not guilty a more substantial fine might have been im- posed, -Justice Condell explained. Steve E. Charland of New Britain was running a machine through the center without a rear light later in the evening. The officer halted him and instructed him to appear in court. Charland will be arraigned tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock. Believed to Be Insane. John Lennahan of Bristol, arrested vesterday afternoon by Officer Marino, was not brought into court this morn- ing. The man was seemingly in- toxicated and was raising a distur- bance at the center when the officer took him into custody. An investiga- uion, subsequently made, revealed the fact that Lennahan is mentally un- halanced. The case was reported to Selectman Johngon. He will confer with the charity department in Bristol in an effort to have the city take care of him. Attorney Woods to Speak, Attorney Joseph G.

Tramway Company Loses. The supreme court has returned a decision favorable to the defendant in | the case of the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company against G. A, Evaline and company, finding no error in the ruling or the superior court by which the trolley people were non-suited. The tramway company sued to re- cuver damages for defective work-, manship found in its gas mains laid in Plainville by the Evaline company. The joints in the pipes had been Im- properly sealed and as a result nearly one hundred shade trees were killed by the gas which escaped. rany had to pay several dollars for the loss of the trees, prop- erty owners having brought suit. . It also had to uncover all the mains in | town and reseal the joints. In superior court the tramway cor- poration attempted to get reimburse- ment from the contractors, alleging that it was through the:r negligence that the work was poorly done. Evaline’s lawyers set up the claim that according to the terms of the contract the tramway thanics furnished for that purpose by the contractors. The court threw out ' the suit on these grounds. In the higher tribunal a simflar aecision was rendered. Consequently all the expense which resulted from the gas leakage will have to be borne by the Bristol cor- poration. Successful Banquet, Plainville was well represented at the third annual banquet of the Young Men's Catholic club held last evening in the Casino at Lake Com- pounce. The gathering proved to be one of the most successful affairs in the history of the organization. was attended by about eighty young men from Forestville Bristol, Terry- ville, Southington and Plainville, The after dinner exercises were most interesting and the diners were en- thusiastic over the speeches.
