Washington, Sept. 21.—Americans and other foreigners in Mexican ter- ritory controlled by General Villa will be protected. Assurances to that ef- fect are given in a statement issued by the Villa agency here’/on the au- thority of the northern chief himself. The announcement is an outgrowth of reports that foreigners would suffer as a result of the outcome of the Pan-American forecast in New York, forecast recognition of Carran- za and the recent renewed warning to Americans to leave the fighting zones of fighting Mexico. The statement says that although Villa regrets the action of the Amer- ican and British governments in or-. dering their consuls and citizens to leave, he would make a special effort For- ecigners nced have no fears for their safety even in case of fighting, it is asserted. San Antonio, Tex., Sept. 21.—Three shipments of arms and ammunition for the Carranza forces crossed the border yesterday at Laredo, Del Rio and El1 Paso, according to word re- cseived here today.

Plans have been completed for the annual barbecue of the Business and Improvement association to be held at Lake Com- pounce and according to the commit- tec in charge the affair gives Promise of being one of the most successful outings held under the auspices of the organization. The demand for tickets is encouraging and.th inter- est taken in the outing indicates that there will be a large atlendan_t'e. Besides the sheep roast, which the management of the resort guarantees will be a real spread, there will be a program of athletic sports and olher events that will make the day most enjoyable to those who attend. The committee has arranged to have a baseball game between téams se- lected from the membership of the There will also be com- petitive bowling and shoming_ anfl boat races with pr for the victors. The late summer outing of the busi- ness men has been one of the popu‘lar social features of their association since it was organized several years ago. Last year instead of the usual clam bake a sheep barbecue was held and it was enjoyed to such an extent that the members were strongly in favor of having the outing take a similiar form this year. President Wheeler and the other officers have been working diligently to make plans that would insure a successful affair and the encourage- ment given them by the members has been most gratifying. They look for- ward to a very enjoyable holiday. Temperance Rally September 30. According to reports in circulation the town’s temperance advocates are making plans for a mno-license rally to be held in the Town hall on Thurs- Gay evening, September 30, when, it je said, prohibition workers of promi- nence from out of town, will fire a broadside at the liquor traffic and will urge the voters to cast their ballots in favor of a “dry” Plain- ville. It is also expected that there will be other rallies in the ¢hurches, the no-license element having made arrangements to prosecute a vigor- ous campaign up to election day, October 4. The liquor dealers and their sup- porters are doing their work very quietly and they appear confident of stccess at the polls. During the past two years they have emerged success fully through hard fought campaigns being downhearted this year. In fact many of the license workers declare that the town will remain “wet” by 2 much larger majority than was given the saloons at the last election. They expect Bristol to return to the license column and the efforts of their opponents seem to be worrying them but little. Grange - to Give Fair. At the meeting of the grange to be held this evening in the organization hall on Pierce street a report will be presented on the progress made by the committee which is to have charge of the annual fair to be held on September 29 and 30. The managers plan to have a sale of food, candy and fancy articles in the afternoon and in the evening an entertainment will be given. Mem- bers of the dramatic club are re- hearsing the farce, “A Regiment of Two,” which is to be a feature of the program each evening. Got Off at Wrong Station. James Daley, an employe of the New Departure company in Bristol, got so overjoyed over the settlement of the strike in that factory yesterday that he went to Hartford to celebrate instead of returning to work, He left the capital city on the last dinky last night. At the time he was sur- rounding so much ‘“joy juice” that he was rather befuddled and he left the train at Plainville. Officer Marino found him at the center shortly after midnight. Daley wanted to get home but as his legs went back cn him and there was no other means of transportation in sight, the constable brought him to the lock-up. In court this morning Daley admitted his guilt. He had worked for the New De- parture company for thirteen years and he said he had never been ar- rested hefore. Justice A. H. Dresser, before whom the case was tried, imposed a fine of $2 and costs. Made Pretty Flight. Aviator Nelsor of New Britain mude another pretty flight late yesterday afternoon, giving local people a splen- did opportunity to see his aeroplane sail skyward. The ascent was made from Allen’s field, where the machine was brought for demonstration before ropresentative of the Italian gov- crnment. Nelson was in the air about fifteen minutes. He rose to a good height and circled over the eastern part of the town, later flying almost to Meri- den. The prospective buyers of the aero- plane are expected here late today. A flight for their benefit will be made before the machine is taken away. Move Kindergarten Soon, Members ot the school board ex- pect that it will be possible to move and they apparently see no reason for | the kindergarten from its temporal quarters in the grange building to the | portable school house on Broad street in the next few days. The building, | which arrived here last Friday, has been placed in position and it is | rapidly getting into shape for occu- ! pancy. The building is a very unpretentions structure. but the school board be- lieves it will satisfy the needs of the town until such time as an addition to the brick school house is required.

Expect Unfavorable Action. Judging from the attitude of many of the voters, -esidents of Westwoo. park are liable to be disappointed next Monday when thev appear at a special town meeting to request the making of a number of highway im- provements in_chat district, They want several passways in the fection in which they live converted into highways that will entitle them to a continuance of the rural delivery service. There is an impression that the im- provements asked for would entail an expenditure out of proportion to the requirements of the district, especially in view of the fact that the town has already spent considerable in build- ing a highway in the Westwood park section. The men “vho petiifoned for the town meeting and others living ‘n Westwood park are planning to turn out in forex 10 rei a favorable vote on the propositicn but seemingly the prospects are not very encouraging. | The Leo Brief Items, The initiatory degree was con- ferred at the meeting of Martha Re- bekah lodge held in Oda Fellows hali last evening.
