Tappy Pupils Greet Their | Not huving received any pay in the | pagt four months for the seven elec- Tits on Farmington road George F. Atwater, stuperintendent of the United Electric Iight and Water ,company of New Britain issued orders | o remove the bulbs, leaving the thor- oughfare in Stygian darkness for. the past two nights. Mr. Atwater this " morning said that the lights would " rot be 1eplaced until the money is paid up 1o date. 4, The money for the lights has been secured in the past by means of so- liciting among the nelghbors residing ¢n Farmington road. Edward Mott, who formerly resided on Farmington road but who recently disposed of his properiy, has for the past three years solicited the funds. He holds a five vears’ contract with the company for Rthe lights. As has been the usual custom every year Mr. Mott went about soliciting for funds this year. He evidently did not receive a sufficient amount to cov- er the costs of the lights and it is said lie returned the money to the don- ors. A number of residents expressed great indignation when discussing the matter this morning. They said that *#hey had been totally ignorant that the Wleciric Light company had not been paid and that the lights were removed. They said that they had not been informed by Mr. Mott that | he was unable to raise the required amount. ‘‘He ought to have informed the people that the lights were to be taken down’ said one public spirited W citizen. The seven lights in question extend from the Perlin depot to Jacob's cor- ! ner up Christian Lane as far as the Murray homestead. It is probable that a public meeting will be called in a few days when a plan for raising funds will be discussed. since the Turnpike road has been slosed frutic on the Farmington road has been urusually heavy. There are many dangerous places on the road ieh should be protected by lights. With the Berlin fair but a few days | saway something should be done im- mediately as the exhibition this year will be open nights and travel will be heavy. Tea and Card Room. A" craft shop, tea and card room, w~gimilar to those conducted in many of the larger cities about the state, wlil | be formally opened in this town to- morrow by Mrs. W. W. Brackett at | other dainties will be served. | have been artistically | picturesque late Mrs. Frederick Morrison. Mrs. Brackett will be ably assisted in serv- ing the guests by Mrs. A. R. Savage of Bridgeport, a former resident in Ber- lin. The house has been thoroughly renovated and transformed into a bLeautifu] little craft shop. Here, baskets, pottery and many antiques will be sold at nominal sums. Some very pretty stencil work is displayed about the walls. - The craft room has been joined to the tea room by a large ‘opening. The tea room has been made very attractive. Light refreshments, in- cluding tea, sandwiches, cakes and Jellies, marmalades and pickles, can also be secured. Another room in the house has been vtilized as a card room. All rooms decorated, es- pecially the tea room, where a large fireplace occupies a most conspicu- ous place. The grounds surrounding the resi- dence are covered with pretty bushes, vines, flowers and trees and make a background. In mild weather tables will be placed about the grounds and tea and refreshments will be served underneath the trees. An attractive sign will be placed at | a conspicuous place in front of the house to attract the attention of transients. The place will hereafter be known as “The Berlin Tea and Craft Shop.” Mrs. Brackett, who is to supervise the shop, is well suited to the task. | She has had a great deal of experi- ence while residing in New Britain, where she had personal charge of the tea room at the Woman's exchange. Some pretty postals of the attrac- tive residence are being sent by Mrs. ! Brackett to her numcrous friends | about the state, especlally New | Britain, announcing the opening of | the tea room tomorrow. All ex- | pressed keen pleasure when it was learned inat a craft shop was to be opened here and tlic success of the place is already assured. A party of enthusiastic friends called at Mrs. | Brackett's yesterday and were served i with tea for the first time. i Pay Visit to.

Berlin, Sept. 7, via London 2:55 p. m.—This morning’s newspapers pub- lish little additional news concerning the sinking of the Hesperian The Morgenpost leads a Reuter despatch with the following sentence: A big steamer of the British Allan line suf- fered such severe damage at night off the south extremity of Ireland, in a manner not yet cleared up, that she sank before she could be brought into l-’\ harbor,” - Plainville News LT E = EXHAUSTED HORSE LEFT T0 ITS FATE Constable David Finds Deserted | Outfit on West Main Street | POLICE CAN'T LOCATE OWNER | Animal Had Fallen in. Its Tracks— | Case Has Mysterious Aspect—Poljce Get Trio of Labor Day Celebrators, Baggagemaster Lambert Resigns, Mystery surrounds the ownership | and circumstances attending the find- ing of a valuable horse and carriage held at Hart’s livery stable on orders | of Constable Henrp David, who took H possession of the outfit late yesterday afternoon. The rig awaits a claimant and unless something is heard from | the owner by tomorrow the police wil] send out a description of it in the | | | hope of getting it off their hands. i Covered with sweat and exhausted. | apparently after a hard drive, the animal was found lying on the road | in front of the Odd Fellows~ block. | Although the outfit was discovered in the business section of the town where people people were constantly | possing. Constable David could se- cure no informaation concerning it. No one seemed to xnow whether it | was the termination of a runaway or whether the rig had been deserted af- ter the horse dropped in his tracks. The appearances would indicate that the latter theory is the most plausible, Officer David took the horse to the livery barns, where it is now being cared for. The animal appears to be none the worse for its experience. The horse seemingly is a lively roadster. Its knees were protected by pads when it was found and the man- ner in which it was harnessed woquld indicate that it was accustomed ' to rapid travel. The police are inclined to suspect that the outfit was either stolen or was hired for the day, the driver deserting it when it fell ex- hausted. Cafferty Again in the Toils. James Cafferty is booked for ap- pearance before Justice A- H, Condell Saturday afterncon when he will answer to the charge of intoxication, preferred by Officer Philip Marino, who arrested him last evening. The accused was taken from the steps in front of Bordeau's barber shop, the officer claiming that he was abusive in his language when he was ordered to go home. When the case comes up for a hear- ing, it was said today, Cafferty will fight the efforts of the prosecution, advancing the claim that he was not under the influence of liquor. Simsbury Drunks Fined- Light fines were meted out to John Kelly and John Cone, a pair of Sims- bury laborers, who were arraigned this morning before Justice Condell on the charge of intoxication. The pair came to Plainville for a Labor Day celebration and spent so much of their stay here in front of the ma- hogany rail that they lost all know'- edge of the art of navigation when they returned to the street. Officers Marino and David made an effort to get them out of town, but they seemed to like the place, and the policemen’s overtures were not accepted. As a result the men were locked up. In court this morning both admitted their guilt. Cone claimed he spent much of his time in Murphy’s, but he didn’t think he drank more than six or seven beers. He was fined $2 and costs amounting to $9,80, The officers testified that Kelly was inclined to be abusive- He swore at them and refused to permit a peace- ful trip to the lockup- The accused said he was too drunk to have any recollection of what took place. He came to Plainville for a good time, and he had it, He was taxed $5 and costs. Church Annual. Rev. J. W. Denton, pastor, an- nounced today that the annual busi- ness meeting of the Advent Christian church will be held Wednesday even- ing at 7:45. Reports for the past year, election of officers and other import- ant business will be considered at the sessions. The church has had a most suc- cessful year. Under the leadership of Mr. Denton it has grown steadily since the last annual meeting, and the reports of the officers will un- doubtedly be most gratifying. Baggage Master to Quit. Richard Lambert has tendered his resignation as baggage master and station agent at the local depot of the New Haven railroad. He has ac- cepted -a position as assistant shipper in the Bristol Brass company’s fac- tory in Forestville. His new place is one of importance and his many friends hope he will be successful For a number of years Mr. Lambert has been one of the railroad’'s most faithful servants. He has served in several capacities and for a long time has had charge of the baggage room. Courteous and thoughtful in his treat- ment of the public, Mr. Lambert won many friends among the patrons of the road. He will be missed by a large circle of acquaintances, who, however, will be pleased to learn of his advancement. Drive Against David. According to reports in circulation today a drive will be mude against Constable Henry David at the demo- cratic caucus tomorrow night and there is a likelihood that his name will not appear on the party's ballot at the October election. Constable David has done considerable police work during the past year., He has ‘“doubled” much of the time with Constable Marino and in democratic | the lives of American citizens she wfll] Prussia. circles it is said that an effort is %o be made by those displeased with his work to have dropped from the ticket. | The officer told a “Herald" man today that he would make no effort to land the nomination In fact he de- clared he would decline to permit the use of his name on the democratic ballot. * There is a belief in some quarters that an attempt will be made to have him nominated at the republican cau. | cus, the G. O. P. leaders seemingly being satisfied with the manner in which he has performed his duties. Books Ready for Auditors. Auditors F. L. Benzon and F. g Osborne made arrangements today to egin the annual examination of the | town books tomorrow evening. They | were advised by Selectman Johnson | that the accounts are now ready for | | their inspection, a delay in the presen- | tation of the treasurer's report mak- ing it impossible for them to start the | work earlief. The fiscal year closed on August 15 and Auditor Osborne declares tha. the accounts should be ready for examina- tion at least a week after that date. He was advised that the selectmen drew orders as late as August 20, a fact which he considers is in the main accountable for the inability of the auditors to begin work before this time. Large Registration. While reports from the various rooms were not compiled at noon to- day, there were indications of a rec- | ord breaking registration when the | local schools opened this morning for | the fall term. Principal Judd and his staff of teachers were on hand for the opening and despite the mak- ing of changes in the assignment of the pupils, necessitated by the forma- tion of a new mixed grade, the classes were arranged without confusion and by noon organization was well under way. i The kindergarten opened in Grange | hall, the non arrival of the portable | building making it impossible to have this department in the school plant. The attendance of the little children was not very large and they | were comfortably accommodated in the temporary quarters Brief Items. The grange will hold meeting this evening in jts hall on Pierce street. After the business ses- sion there will be an address on Wo- | man Suffrage by Miss Anna G. Porritt | of Hartford. The public is invited | to attend. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Trumbull have Teturned from Sachem’s Head where they spent the summer. In attempting to escape from an enraged steer last Saturday, Frank Rogers, a farm hand emplayed on the Gridley place, ran into a fence post, breaking three of his ribs. Dr. J. C. Tanner is attending him. Commander Elijah Williams of Newton Manross Post. and William Shepard will attend the reunion of their regiment to be held in North Haven Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Charles E has just returned from a week’ Pittsfield, Mass. a tien in wine clerk at Mur- received word yesterday Barney Kirsnik, phy's cafe, cumbed to injuries received while fighting for Russia. Kirsnik has five other brothers in the Russian army. Mrs. Edward Dunn and daughters, Genevieve, Anna, May and Helen, | spent Labor Day as the guests of Mrs. Thomas Corbin of Whiting street.

Telephone 19-3, Plainville. 9-4-6d | U-BOAT WARFARE MUST CONTINUE German Papers Against Restrict- Rerlin, Sept. 7—The Vossische Zei- tung devotes three columns to a dis- cussion of the situation regards Germany and the Uhited States, under the heading “The Agreement with America.” After impliedly expressing dissatis- faction at the message conveyed by | Ambassador Von Bernstorff to the Washington authorities, it asserts: “Complete unanimity reigns in Ger- | many in the wish to maintain unal- | tered peace between Berlin and Wash- ington. Ambassador von Bernstorff’ expianation must not be taken either | as an admission of any guilt in past procedures or as an indication of fear | or weakness. “It must be reiterated that the tor- pedoing of the Lusitania, no matter how lamentable from a humanitarian standpoint, left no stain upon Ger- many's honor. The same holds true for the Arabic. If it ever becomes | possible to clearup this case through unobjectionable evidence ft will be | shown that the captain of the Arabic himself was guiity of his fate and that of his passengers. Submarine Warfare to Go On. “It must also be specifically pointed out that submarine warfare against merchant vessels will now, as forme ly—and, it is to be hoped, with unre- mitting vigor—be carried on. There can be no talk of any ‘result’ for Great Britain. British merchant ma- | rine losses will nct be lessened in the | future. Great Britain must not per- | mit herself to hope she may succeed | in the future through sordid manipu- | Jations in making use of German good | nature. | “Our admissions to America have - restrictions.

Through our step we have proved to Americans—if it were nec- essary—in the most loyal way, how highly we value the relations existing | between them and us. It is surely known in leading circles in the United | States that even a declaration of war by America against Germany could no longer do real hatm to the German cause. Peace Moves Rejected. “The British press is attempting to alter the case to make it appear that Gormany’s move was made with an intention to win the American presi- dent as a peace agent. We do not know whether President Wilson has this thought. Likewise we cannot prevent the pope, through Cardinal Gibbons, from expressing his peace desires to the president. “We highly respect the humanitar- fan basis of this, but we would not like to leave any uncertainty concerning _th. fact that Germany does not even consider concluding peace through any agent whatever. He who wants | peace with us may come to us him- | colf. Peace may be discussed, accord- ing to the present outlook only in di- rect negotiations.” The Vossische Zeitung discusses the peace rumors and says Great Britain seces its salvation in such a move be- cause “its action in the Dardanelles has broken down, the day of reckon- | ing in Egypt is drawing appreciably | nearer, universal conscription has fal- | Jen Ly tne wayside, the labor problem | is becoming critical, the conditions in Ireland defy description.” Britain Stands Apart. The Tasgliche Rundschau says: “In opposition to the brilliant re- sults of our arms and our surely vic- | torfous position stands the depressing | fa-t that in this weck we have re-| ctricted our most promising weapon | the submarine—by ,adhering to tie wishes of the American executive, President Wilson. | “In Great Britain and in America | our compliance is accepted with sat-; isfaction and has lowered the price of grain. American papers algo say that | Great PEritain now can hold out for| another year of war, which is com- | prehensible when one considers that 504 ships with a tonnage of more than 1,000,000 were destroyed by subma- rines. “As it is actually impossible, as Prosident Wilson admitted in his note of last May, for'a rubmarine to search | a merchant or passenger vessel at sea and verify its papers the German con cessions denote a comprehensive re- striction of submarine warfare, deter- mined upon by the war leaders for political reasons.” 1 WEDDIGEN NEXT.
