In a convergation this morning Cohen ad- mitted that he has givén the matter consideration and that he has already consulted his lawyer, Judge B. F. Gaffney. i While passing underneath the rail- road bridge on Farmington road on Wednesday afternoon his machine became stalled. Begause of the heavy rainfall thé “witer had reached such a depth that it entirely covered his radiator. Cohen was further subject- ed to inconvenience and embarrass- ment when he had to get out of his machine and try to crank it. The water reached ‘up to his hips. The engine would not respond and it was necessary for him to secure a rope and aided by one of George H. Bald- win’s horses ‘the car was hauled from underneath the bridse. May Sue Berlin—Witness Missing. It is probable that the striking of a flowing well on the property of F. E. Williams of Farmington road, Ken- sington, yesterday afterneon will solve the problem of furnishing running water to the residents on Beach Swamp road and vicinity. This is the opinion expressed by E. H. Hamlin, a Hartford éngineer who has been su- pervising the digging of the well. The vein was struck about fifty feet below surface. The water is pure and is as clear as crystal. The pres- sure of the flow is so great that when a pipe was drilled down to the vein the water rose to the surface gnd gushed forth in large quantities. William Luby, who has been work- ing wells in this vicinity for years, was highly enthusiastic when he view- ed the vein today. He considers it a great find and states that it would not. be a very arduous task to lay vipes to surrounding houses and sup- piy themn with water. The Williams’ preperty is situated on a hill and easy access could be made to the sur- rounding residences as the water ¥would flow down-hill. A Jarge tank could be built and with the ald of an engine this could be kept full. People living on Beach Swamp road have been having considerable diffi- culty with their wells of late on ac- count of quicksand. Although there has been an agi- tation for a number of years to have W ew Britain supply water to Kensing- ton nothing has yet been done. There is no question about the necessity of having the water. The fire rates in Berlin and Kensington are very high. The local selectmen have appeared before th Hardware city authorities on numerous occasions in a vain ef- fort to try to interest them. 1 on the Williams' preperty furnish wa- ter.to residenmts in that vicinity looks very feasible, Plans gre being dis- cussd to engage an expert engineer to look over the vein and determine its strength. - American Papér Goods Excursion. . ¥ An excusion under the auspices of | the American Paper Goods employes will pe Held on Saturday, August 28. There i§ ‘a question in the minds of many " of the employes whether the excursion should be held at Savin Rock, or at Lake Compounce. vote ‘was taken today to determine this. 3 It is the plan to make the trip by trolley. A short dinner will be serv- .ed 'and a small fee wiil be charged “4to the exotrrsionists. Athletic games Jwiil be held, a feature of which will s | Still the .engine would not work. Cohen had to take it apart and dry [ the parts. After . considerable diffi- culty he was again able to proceed. But Cohen’s troubles had just com- menced. When he reached Meriden his engine went ‘‘dead.”Time and en- ergy were wasted on trying to start the machine as it would not work and aceording to Cohen, it will not work today and he is unable to discover the trouble. The results of wading in the icy water, he said, also had its effect. He had been confined to his bed ever 'since with a severe cold. Will Leave for Convention, Julius E. Woodruff, the local letter carrler, will leave for Detroit, Mich., cn Monday, to attend the four days’ annual convention .of rural letter carriers. He will be accompanied by J. F. O'Keefe. Mr. Wovudruff and Mr. O'Keefe are the delegates from Con- necticut. During Mr. Woodruff's absence As- sistant Carrier Charles Thompson will sabstitute. Dangerous Corner Fliminated. One of the most danserous corners in Keusington was climinated yester- Aday when Selectman Willlam H. Gib- i ney had the bushes and undergrowth { at the corner of Church &nd Hotchkiss streets cut down. The corner is di- rectly opposite the Kensington Metho- dist church and some very narrow escapes from accidents have been averted at this spot. The bushes and weeds had grown to such a height that the view of pedestrians approach- ing from opposite directions sas ob- structed. Fransen Was Importani Witness. Lawrence Fransen, the fourteen years old Beckley hoy wino has been missing from his home for several | weeks, was to be one or the most im- portant witnesses in the Rossenberz irial, which is to come up before Judge George G. Griswoid in the Rerlin town court next Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock. It is thought | that the state will -be greatly ham- pered in -trying the case if young Fransen is not located in time for .the trial. It is said that Fransen was the only eyewitness to the .accident in| which one man forfeited nis life, Arthur M. Rosenberg, a well known New Haven tailor of 599 Whitney ! avenue, will, appear. in the court to | answer.to the charge of reckless driv-’ ing. , He ig alleged to have driven his miachine down the Turnpike with such speed that it turned turtle, Te- sulting in the death of D. A. Logano | of Providence, R, I. The case was called several times but on each occasion it was necessary to postpone it because of the illness of the accused. The case promises to be 6ne ‘of the liveliest tried in the local court in some time. Attorney Jacob Goodhardt of New Haven will appear ‘or the defendant and’ William H. Gibney will prosecute, Berlin Briefs, Mr. and Mrs. George Griffith of Farmington road, Kensington, re- turned -home last evening from a two weeks’ visit to Downsville, Del.

MAY LOGATE, PLANT HERE Business Men Ga]tiflue Efforts to Land Hartford Factory | READY T0 FINANCE BUILDING Many Towns Are Bidding for | Con- cern—Local Directors Have Hopes That Plant May Come Here—Have Barbecue in September—Briefs, While representatives of towns in various parts of the state are making -energetic efforts to get the Hartford Auto Parts company to locate its | plant in their respective communitiss, officers of the local Business and Im- provement association have not as vet given up hopes of getting the fac- tory for Plainville, despite the f: that they cannot offer as many in- ducements as some of their compet:- They have advanced what they regard as a fair proposition to the heads of the concern, and as there is considerable local capital invested in the company they continue confident that their offer will receive serious consideration before any of the oti- ers are accepted. The plan of adding to the number of manufacturing establishments in the town was discussed at the August meeting of the directors of the asso- ciation held last evening in the Odd Fellows block. The directors neaid reports that some generous offers have been made to the officers of the Hartford Auto Parts company which wil have to leave its present quarters in the Colts’ factory building in Hart- ford. Nevertheless they were not dis- couraged and this morning President F. T. Whaeeler stated that hope of getting the plant here has not been abandoned. Mr. Wheeler declared that there are men in town willing to finance the erection of a building suitable for a manufacturing outfit. The land could easily be secured and he felt certain proper accomodations for factory purposes could be provided. He admitted that the town can offer little, however, in the shape of ten- ements for the workmen, should the factory officlals be willing to locate here. Tht concern employes about 200 men, most all of them skilled mechanics, drawing good wages. They would want good living conditions and it would be necessary to have ‘modern tenements for thelr use. J. H. Trumbull is a director of the company and a number of other Plainville people are financially in- terested in the company, which 1s now doing a splendid business. Other propositions for getting more factories here were discussed at tae meeting and the directors showed over the prospects. The Business and Improve- ment association is working hard to make Plainville more of an indus- trial locality and it would not be sur- prising if their efforts meet with suc- cess in the not far distant future. Plans for the annual outing of the organization were also considered by the directors and it was decided to have the affair take place at Lako Compounce some time in September. The outing will take the form of a sheep barbecue and there will be a program of athletic sports and other forms of enjoyment. The matter of having the zas mains extended to streets in town not served at the present time is to be taken up with the Bristol and Plain- ville Tramway company. The dircc- tors had been advised that many of the property owners are willing to have connections made ' with their homes and people residing on several well populated streets have signified their intention of taking the service if the mains are extended. The com- pany will be advised of the conditions and the business men will make a de- termined effort to have additional pipe laid. That the business men should show more pride in the appearance of the streets near the center was claimad by citizens who had written to the as- sociation regarding the matter of keeping the highways clean. Under present conditions the streets in h: bustness section are almost always lit- tercd with papers and refuse. The director propose to take up the mat- ter with the merchants and if the proper co-operation is given they ex- pect satisfactory results will be ob- tained. Since the advent of the “Jitney” in Plainville conditions at the center at night have furnished a problem to the town officials and while it has been considered from various angles no so- iution has as yet bcen reached. At last night's meeting it was discussed hut no action was taken. During the eariy evening the curbs on Central Square are usually decorated with human forms, seemingly crowding around the autos, which serve as com-« inon cdrriers, and consequently the sidewalk is practically blocked. Stands used Ly merchants for the dis- rlay of their goeds serve to make mat- _ters evenm worse and women are par- ticularly annoyed over tne difficulty they have in making their way through the street. Seemingly the town can make no rule preventing the congregating of men along the curbs. Officers have at- tempted to persuade them to either lkeep moving or select new neadquar- ters. They have met with little suc- cess, however, and the conditions do There is a question about the rights of the mer- chants to put their stands on any part of the sidewalk, whieh snould be open to travel and unless there is an im provement, ‘it' is probable the select We arc exclusive eclling agents for Hartford for the “American Lady” and “Madame Store Closed Fridnys At Noon Up To And Including Soptember 10th.

Until a few hours after the body had been placed in a grave in the new | Catholic cemetery in New Britain, Thomas Cavanaugh of this place, had not heard of the death of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Cavanaugn, who passed away at the New Britain hospital Wednesday night. The woman had been an inmate of the Town home and Selectman Johnson was advised after her death that her daugnters had ar- ranged for her funeral. Yesterday Cavanaugh was told by friends that his mother’s death was reported in the newspapers. From Selectman Johnson he: finally learned that the woman had passed away and through friends he communicated with the undertaking firm having charge of {he funeral. He was then told that the body had been buried a few hours before, Gave Talk on Socralism. Expounding the doctrines of soclal- ism and berating the capitalistic class of the country, O. F.
