Dissatisfled with the methods at present employed in dealing with the police Frst Selectman W. J. Johnson contemplates conferring with coun- sel within a few days to learn if the board of selectmen or the voters at a town meeting Have the authority to appoint a commission to have charge of the constables. Mr. Johnson is anxious to have all police matters tak- en ‘entirely out of the hands of the selectmeén as he beliéves they could be handled to better advantage by a special board. The selectmen suggests several rea- sons for the plan he has in mind. While he admits that there has been an improvement in conditions since a regular officer was appointed, he maintains there is an,opportunity to do even better work. The selectmen and grand jurors have worked in per- fect harmony but under existing con- ditions Mr. Johnson realizes the pos- sibilities of friction developing, unsatisfactory results. The selectman explains that there are occasions where town paupers come in contact with the law. At such times the board naturally wants action taken that will keep down the expense to the town whereas a grand juror would show no discrimination and would deai with. them in the same fashion as he would any prisoner. Under present conditions the offi- cers look to the selectmen for instruc- tions and the orders given, Mr. John- son believes, might conflict with the ideas of e prosecuting authorities. As a res the constables might find difficulty’in properly performing their duties. ) Shotild a board be named to have charge of the police, the selectman believes, more satisfactory results could be obtained. He thinks it might be well to have the grand jur- ors serve on.the commission. This would put them in closer touch with the police officers and would make it easier for the constables. Members of such a commission ‘would undoubtedly be willing to serve without pay and Selectman John=on tinhks the town would have the au- thority to make appointments. He proposes to get legal advice on the matter before taking any definite ac- tion. Special Meeting Called. Responding to a request from the sobool board the selectmen today is- sued notice of a special meeting to he held next Friday evening in the court room in the town building, The voters at that time will be asked to take action regarding the matter of purchasing a portable building to be used for school purposes or con- structing an addition to the building on broad street, erected a few years ago. 3 Improvements in process of making in the town hall necessitate the clos- ing of that place. Hence the selection of the court room for the meeting. It is probable that the meeting will draw a large audignce ahd if court room is found too smali to accomo- date all the voters, adjournment to Grange hall may be taken. Members of the school board will probably recommend the purchasing of a portable building ana the opin- ion seems to prevail that the sugges- tions will be approved. It is not thought that an appropriation of more thap '$1,000 will be asked for At the Churches. Congregational: Rev. F, 'L, Grant, {he pastor will preach at the morning sérvice Sunday on “Exiles in Babylon.” Episcopal: Services will be conduct- ted in the Chiurch of Our Savior to- morrow motning at 10:45.

Mrs. Mary Yetupski of New Britain, and a woman friend, came to Plain- villt yesterday looking for mushrooms They couldn’t locate any and they were about to board a car for home ‘when they met two men at the center. They were invited into a hotel for a drink and when they left Mary was so drunk she couldn’t walk. He com- panions deserted her and Officer Ma- rino picked her up in front of the Clarendon hotel and brought her to the lockup. The two men, whom she said were with her in the hotel, “fol- lowed the officer and tried to get her | released. | One of them, Stanley Peroski an- noyed the policeman to such an ex- tent, that he also was given quarters in a cell. This morning the pair appeared be- fore Justice Condell, Mrs. Yetupski to answer to the charge of drunkenness and Peroski to explain his actions. The woman entered a plea of guilty. i She said she had only two drinks but | her capacity is so limited that they imade her drunk. She admitted that | she was arrested in New Britain for intoxication last Christmas and has rines been on probation. She has a { husband and two children. On ac- count of her family Justice Condell let her off with a fine of $1 and costs. Officer Marino wWas delegated’to ac- company her to her home in New Brit- ain, she having explained that she had ;nough money in the house to pay her ne. Peroski denied that he had tried to interfere with the officer. He ex- plained that he saw the woman in the hotel but he denidd that he was with her or that he bought any drinks for her. When he saw the officer take her into custody he attempted to pur- suade him to release her, because he didn't like to see a woman arrested. He disclaimed being acquainted with. her but he knew that she was of the same nationality as himself and he naturally sympathized with her. | The accused said he had lived in New Britain for fiftecn yeary and had never been' arrested - before. He worked in the Corbin Cabinet Lock factory for 12 years. He has a wife and foyr children. Justice Condell learrned that the man bore a good | rerutation and he discharged, him. 1 J. Birnhaum acted as interpreter for the pair. Autolst “Knew His Rights.” Officer Marino had a unique exper- ience with an autoist with whom ne came in contact last evening. The policeman had discovered the man's machine standing at the center with all front lights extinguished. When he suggested that the lamps be Kkept burning, he claims the autoist told him he knew more about the law than the officer did and could leave his car dark, except for the rear light, if he cared to do =o. The policeman claims he had no in. tention of arresting the chap at the time but when he learned that the consideration he had showed was not appreciated, he ordered him to ap- pear in court on Monday. The autoist defied Wim and said he had no inten- tion of coming back here for a hear- Ing as he had not violated any law. The number of his machine was se- cured by Officer Marino and was turned over today to Grand Juror { Gwillim, who will probably issue a warrant. License Suspended. Secretary of State Burns yesterday suspended indefinitely the auto oper- ator’'s license held by W. J. “Eph” Day of East Bristol. The action was taken at the sug- gestion of Justice A. H. Con-ell be- fore whom Day was arraigned a few days ago for operating an automoubile while intoxicated. Day was fined $25 and costs.

San Francisco, July 24.—Reporting or “Woman’s Influence and Possibili~ ties in Civic Betterment,” Miss Ida A. Jordan, superintendent of the Dea- cones Home in Chicago, told the mem- hers of the International Purity con- gress here today that in Illinois it was “pathetic to note how eagerly the men are expecting the women to grap- ple with certain probiems of civie betterment—their manncr being a readily understood confession of their own failures along many of these lines."” 8he said in part: “1 do not believe tha: many of the men of our country who have cast their votes in favor of woman suf- frage have done so with the idea of an indulgent parent, giving a child what he asks for just because he wants it, On the contrary they have confessed that they want woman's in- fluence in the purifying eof politics, in the demandings of a higher stand- ard of morals in our public officials and a greater consideration of the cnactment of such laws as directly af- fect the welfare of mankind. The government is constantly enlarging its functions in the commoh interests and more and more giving attention to such matters as pure m.ilk, pure water, clean streets, safe and wholesome Tecreation, living wages, widow’s pen- | gion, child labor and prohibition—all of which concern the home and In every one which woman has a prim- ery intedest. ‘“The fear that the suffrage granted to women would prove degrading and | coarsening to them is not being voiced | as it once was. As one speaker sail | not long since, in answer to the eriti- | cism that politics werc being dragged | into religion, ‘then lét us turn things | about and take religion into politics.” This, I truly believe, is what the women of our country are in a large way attempting to do. A few months ago the Woman's City Ciuo of Chicago put out a leaflet with ' this title— ‘Heart Searchings for the Women Voters of Chicago.’” Miss Jordan told of the religious tomc of this Iit- crature, and of its fervent appeal to women to vote as their consclence di- rected, rather than as the party dic- tated. In conclusion she said: “While the earth rocks with the aw. rul impact of warring nations and the longing for universal peace is ever present in Christian’ hearts, while the waves of temperance enthusiasm ! are daily growing higher and ‘we are caring to hope for world-wide sobri 1y in this generation, every right- minded woman may well feél herself an Esther, ¢alled for sugn a time as this. - 1 pray we' may mefin our Lord, our broth*on or'o ves.” + 3 A 7-14-17-21-24-28x stetement about “G { and that he did not b | lenders had been infl manner.
