A., of Fort Wright, Fisher's Island, was in Berlin this morning taking a rough survey of the town preparatory to making a military map of the town. A detailed map of this country was commenced about six years ago by the United States army, for military information.* Work of preparing the map has just been terminated by Lieut. Leavenworth and five assisants in the vicinity of Bridgeport. It is now the plan-to start the work on the progressive military map around Berlin, Middletown and New Britain. While working in this vicin- ity the military men will make their headquarters in Middletown. Lieut. Leavenworth this morning said that it will take almost the en- | tire summer to get a precise map of this town and vieinity. Lieut. Leaven- worth has attended Yale university and has been .in the service of the United States for about three years. They attracted quite a little attention as they passed through Kensington this morning, making a preliminary reconnaisance of the territc pre- paratory to the work of making the progressive military map.

Goodison also admitted that he did | not have a driver’s license at the time was halted. Heg declared that he was at work arranging some flowers iu West cemetery during the afternoon and some one had stolen his coat, con- taining the license, from his machine. He had sent to Hartford for a dupli- cate. Justice Condell accepted his cxplanation and the charge of driving without a license was not pressed. Used Poor Judgment. That the arrest of Vincent Glynn of this place, on the charge of operating an auto without a rear light, was not justified, was shown when Judge W. J. Malone of Bristol ordered the roung man’'s discharge this morning. | Glynn was arrested by an officer in Forestville last evening. The young man drives a “jitney” Letween Plainvill and Bristol. As he crossed the railroad tracks in Forest- ville his light became extinguished and he stopped his car. He was bending over, ‘with a lighted mateh in his hand, to light the lamp when an officer put in appearance and ordered him to report in court. The Bristol police have been active | in their campaign against autoists and the arrests during tHe past few wecks bav been numerous. In Glynn's case it would appear that the officer over- stepped the bounds. Lennahan Sent Home, Acting on the suggestion of the Bristol police Selectman W. J.
