Wrhe Colt pistol consists of a maga- zine, with eight ' cartridges and a . chamber, which holds the one that is ejected. Mr. Clark had removed the magazine when he began his explana- téen but neglected to empty the cham- ‘ber.

Judge Griswold’s chom For the first time since it's. estab- Mshment. the local town court - has turned over a sum to the town treas- ury. Judge Griswold’s report shows that a total of $1,607 was collécted | 'om the prisoners who were brought before him. The expenses of the court were about $1,544, making ap- proximately $63 to go into the town treasury. The report is a very gratifying one | A shows that Judge Griswold and rosecutor Gibney have had the in- terests of Berlin at heart. . ~ Judge Griswold has served as judge for the past six years and it is worthy of note that during that time he has gver had a decision reversed by the ! cal inspection in schools and i every the facts before court, thus expediting the work of the court. Dr. R. M. Griswold’s Paper. Dr. Roger M. Griswold returned from Philadelphia, Saturday, where he attended the annual meeting of the | American Association of Clinical Re- search. ' Dr. Griswold read a paper at the convention on Friday and the Phil- adelphia North American of Saturday has the following account of his ad- dress: ”Compulsory medical inspection and improved working conditions in in- dustry were urged to reduce the ] enormous, economic. loss /due to pre- ; ventable disease and accidents in a paper read by Dr. Roger M. Griswold, j of Kensington, Conn. “The time has passed when i | | the | cheapest thing in the world is human life,” he said. the enormous loss caused every year by ill health of workers and by acci- ' dents. If the time lost on account of i preventable sickness and accidents could be converted into cash and used for federal expenses, we could do away with all taxes except those on imports. To improve the conditions of workers is not philantrophy. It is good bus- inese.” ‘‘His paper was a discussion of medi- in in- He pointed much dustrial establishments. out that workers yearly lose time by preventable illness and children are kept out of school un- necessarily.

The attend- ance was very exceptional, there be- ing about 250 present when the meet- ing opened. In ‘the red and blue contest the latter side which was the girls ol .he school, defeated the for- mer by bringing in nearly twice as many visitors. Fifty-two Raikes di- plomas were awarded, which is an ex- tremely large number for a church of this size. ‘The regular prayer meeting will be held on Thursday at 7:30 p. m, On Friday at 8 o’clock there will be a meeting of the New Britain Chris- tian- Endeavor Union in the South Congregational church in that town. All members are expected to attend. The Boy Scouts will hold a meeting on Saturday at 2 p. m. At the close of the meeting they will take a “hike,” the destinatian of which is at present a secret. Bally Day is planned for the church on next Sunday and it is hoped that one will make an extra effort to be present. Unclaimed Letters.

The thieves gained entrance to the store by prying open an iron door in the rear. That they were in no hurry is evident from the careful man- ner in which they selected the plun- der. Although Stephen Dietzko, one of the clerks, was in the store for a short was not discovered until today. Yes- Mr. Dietzko found the rear door open but he did not ndtice any- thing disturbed. He found the day's sales, which had been hid before clos- ing time Saturday night and in his hurry he did not see anything to arouse his suspicions. He thought it possible that Mr. James had been in the place early in the day and had opened the door. Consequently he the awner. This morning the bare jewelry case gave mute testimony to the visit of the thieves and an examination of the stock was at ance begun. The job is believed to have been the work of a palr of nervy young men who visited the store at noon Saturday. Miss Loretta Flynn was alone in the stare at the time and their appearance and actions made her suspicious of them. They priced pleces of jewelry, tried on sweaters and looked the place over carefully, one of them finally buying some rib- ban before departing. Miss Flynn called the attention of Mr. Dietzko to them later and facetiously remarked that if the store was burglarized at night she would know who was re- sponsible, The men, who were tough looking characters, called at other stores, during the day and made in- quiries about stock, evidently with the intention of getting the lay-out of the places to complete their nefarious plans. They had not been seen here since and it is generally thought that they left town on a freight train after their raid at the drygoods store. Fifty-Eight New Voters, Fifty-eigsht new voters will be eligible to cast their ballots at the annual election next Monday, the selectmen and town clerk having ad- ministered the elector's oath to that number at a session held Saturday. Practically all who appeared for ex- amination qualified and their names were added to the list. It is beliecved that many of the new voters will help to swing tho town for license at the election, tke liquor dealers being responsible for the ap- pearance of a large number at the ses- sion. The saloonkeepers used their autos to get the candidates to the hall. Issue Call for Meéting. The call for the annual election on which includes the town meeting, was issued today by the board of selectmen. The session will be held on, Monday, the voters casting their ballots for town officers and ad- journing to some subsequent date for tioned in the notice. In the call this year only routine matters are mentioned. Ballots will be cast for a town clerk, treasurer, assessor, tax collector, three members of the board of relief, seven constables, three selectmen, three grand jurors, three members of the school board, two registrars of voters, two auditors and two directors of the jibrary. A vole will also be taken on th2 license Guestion. At the adjouricd session ihe vot will consider the laying of - town tax, the policing of streets, the increasing of the number of street lights, the continuation of the night school and the surveying of certain of the town streets. Special Session Tonight. | struck and almost instantly ito A black traveling bag, | There is seeminglv but little inter- est in the special town meeting to be held in the town hall this evening ard | it is not expected that the attendance will be large. The session will take action on the petition of voters in Westwood park for converting pass- ways in that section into highways suitable for vehicular traffic. ""he general impression seems to be that the district is asking for too much #na while it is possible that an appro- priation may be voted for the select- men's use on Westwood park roads, it is not thought that all the damands will he granted. Westwood park will be strongly represented at the meeting, its res dents having made plans to make a vigorous attempt ‘o get favorable ac- tion on their petition. The object of getting the passways in shape is, according to the petition, to insure a continuance of the rural free delivery service from the local post office, federal inspectors having reported that the carrier will have to stop making his trips to that section unless better roads are provided for his use. | Laborer Killed by Auto. John Potter, laborer, employed by making repairs on | an aged Southington the state in highways, was killed by an auto near Dunham’s bridge late Saturday afternoon. The man was at work on the Southington highway at the time of the accident, The car which struck him was owned and driven by C. M. Hatch of Bridge- water, who was exonerated of blame after an cxaminztion by Medical Ex- amin Steadman of Southington Accerding to Hatch, Potter came confused as the car neared him, and after he had left ite path ran back in its way and was knocked down. The car, it is raid, was going at good speed and the injurzd man was dragged a considerable distance before the machine could be broughtl a stop, Assessor J. J. Watson of New Brit- ain, who passed the scene of the ac- cident a few minutes after the man was struck, hurried to Plainville and returned with Dr. J. N. Bull.

On East Main street a large tree was split in twain and the branches fell across the electric light wires. Some of the streets were air- wires. Some of the strcets were fair- incident to the storm. Officer Marino became suddenly charitable with autoists and made no arrest or violating of the light law. The wind extinguished the tail lamps on a number of machines. Owing to extenuating circumstances, the offti- cer allowed the violators of the law to pass unnoticed as far as court pro- ceedings are concerned Brief Items. J. H.
