The winter schedule for the Mid- dletown branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, is calling forth much comment from East Berlinites, who are daily com- muters on the ‘line, and it is not altogether complimentary to the railroad. Many changes have been made and some trains have been left off entirely. It would be well for anyone who desires to ride on that line to procure a winter schedule be- fore deciding on his journey.

Quebec Sept. 28.—Captain Joseph Bernier, the Canadian Artic explorer, has reached port on his vessel, the Guide, after a successful trip to the new land known as Baffin island, which in 1916 will be recognized as a Canadian possession- Captain Benier. and his crew set sail for the north on July 4, 1914, and it was not until the receipt of letters and papers a month ago that the captain and his crew were in- | formed of the European war. [U. S, MARINE KILLED N HAITI BATTLE Ten Others Wonnded—Fifty Na- tives Lose Lives Sept. 28.—Details of fighting between ) natives and Ameri- can’forces near Cape Haitien Sunday, in which one marine was killed ten wounded and more than fifty Haitians ‘were killed, reached the navy depart- ment yesterday in messages from Rear Admiral Caperton.” The marine patrols had been sent out to clear the lines of supply from Cape Haitien to the. interior- The first expedition was out Sat- urday afternoon to Haunt Vu Cap and Petite Anse, close to the city and on the main line of supplies, passed native outposts, whose commanders objected to the expeditions but of- fered no resistance. Next day two patrols went out again and after the expedition reached Haunt Vu Cap firing became general and both pa- ‘trols were engaged. About fifty na- tives were killed. The patrols re- turned to Caj. Haitien last night and Admiral Caperton reported . the supply routes had been completely cleared of hostile forces. One Marine Killed- A later message said Captain Un- derwood led . an expedition of fifty mounted marines to Petit River and Dalarte Bonite Sunday, and encoun- tered 150 armed Haitians, They were driven into the hills after a vigorous skirmish, in-which one marine. and two natives were Kkilled, and three ratives were wounded. The marines are holding the two towns where quiet has been' restored- The marine killed in the fighting near Cape Haitien was Sergeant John Platt of Detroit, Mich., who served long and honorably in the corps. His sister, Mrs. Susette Blan- chard, lives at North Brookfield, Mass, ‘Washington, Enlisted in 1901, Platt had been ashore in Haitl since July 29 attached to the twenty-fourth company- He enlisted in 1901, nad served as private, corporal and ser- geant and had three honorable dis- charge certificates.

Westwood park scored another vic- “Olda Guard,” at last on over the the town meeting evening, favorable action its peti- highway improvements getting tion for in that section despite the opposition of town officials, and geitizens living in other part of the town who were aganst the proposition. By a sub- stantial majority the Westwood park contingent secured the passage of a resolution ‘authorizing the selectmen to convert passways into streets at an expense not in excess of §400. it is admitted that it will be impossible to build highways for the amount appropriated the district’s representatives are satisfied that the appropriation will be sufficient to get the passways in shape that will be satisfactory to the postal inspector and will insure a continuance of the rural free delivery service, inaugurat- cd some time ago. That the district had received all it was cntitled to last spring when the town expended approximately $600 in building a road; following the trolley tracks, was the argument used in op- position to the plea of the voters. First Selectman W. J. Johnson, who was with the leaders of the opposi- tion, did not believe the: expense, which the work would entail, is war- ranted at this time. Edward E. As- pinall, also voiced his disapproval of the project, advancing the claim that the passways were serviceable in their present condition. Postmaster P. J. Prior championed the cause of the district. He ex- plained that unless the passways were made suitable for vehicular traffic the postal department would with- draw the rural delivery service, the federal rules making it impossible for the carrier to continue covering the route under the existing conditions. Had the department at Washington been familiar with the lay-out he de- clared the service would never have been extended. George S. Babcock wanted the ap- propriation made sufficiently large to convert the passways into regula- tion highways if the town decided to attempt the improvement. He did not believe in going about it in “‘piker” fashion as he claimed was the case in the purchase of the portable school house. Robert Forshaw and A. H. Condell who acted as chairman, were at log: gérheads during the evening over their respective interpretations of parliamentary ruling. Mr. Forshaw had spoken several times for the im- provement and was finally reminded by the chairman that he would have to be quiet until all the other voters, whao wished to discuss the matter, had an opportunity to be heard. He threatéhed to call an officer to have the Westwood park orator put out of the.hall unless he gave way to the chairman. Passage of the resolution was ac- complished by an aye and nay vote, the noise made by the Westwood park delegation indicating that they were in the majority by about three to one. Charles F. Conlon acted as clerk of the meeting. Favorable To License. ‘While the temperance people claim to be satisfied with the progress made during their campaign, the feeling has prevailed for the past few days that 'Plainville is to remain a “wet” town for at least another year and that the license element will win out at the election next Monday by a majority of over fifty. There are some who predict that the ‘“wets"” will have about seventy-five votes to the good when the counters complete their work. The campaign this year is being conducted by the prohibition work- ers in quiet fashion. The leaders claim that they have received a great deal of encouragement and they seem satisfied that they have a good chance of carrying the day. The license advocates, however, do | not appear to be worried in the least. They argue that the situation is most satisfactory at this time and the outlook is more hopeful that it has been for three years. Even voters favorable to the temperance cause, Wwho last year expected the elimina- tion of the saloons, admit that the prospects are not so bright at this time. One of them frankly con- fessed today that the license work- ers would probably win by a sub- stantial majority. The claim that the town will re- main license is based on the showing made at the last election and the happenings during the past year. The “drys” lost a year ago by thir- ty-one votes after prosecuting the most vigorous campaign ever waged in Plainville. They were favored at the time by conditions which put the saloons in a-rather bad light. The invasion &f thirsty Bristolites was a novelty that augered well for i the temperance cause and it doubt- less made no license votes at the last i election. The victory of the ‘‘wets” was followed at the town meeting by a new arrangement of policing the streets. The methods employ; seemingly have been unpopular and | have diverted attention from the sa- {loons to the courts and the officials. | The expectations are that the results | will be unfavorable -to the no-license element. There are fifty-eight new voters qualified to cast their ballots at the caoming election. Of this number a large percentage was made through | the efforts of the saloonkeepers and | the .impression is that license will be favored by their votes. | Both sides seemingly are working | hard but quietly and their efforts will at least bring out a big vote on election day. | The merits of prohibition in Plain- ville continue to cause many argu- ments but men familiar with political ¢onditions here seem to think that regardless of the strength of the ap- peal of the temperance workers, the town is to remain in the ‘“‘wet” column. They make the prediction, they claim, after talking with the voters and analizing the strength of both facticns. Rev. Lanphear To Speak. | Rev. Walter E. Lanphear of Hart- ford, cne of Connecticut's leading temperance advocates, has been se- lected to fire the big gun' for the prohibition cause in Plainville. He will speak at a temperance rally to be held in the Town hall on Thurs- day evening. Mr. Lanphear is an recognized ahility and is of presenting the cause of the “‘drys” in convinecing fashion. It is probuble that there will also be addresses hy local clergymen who are interested in the fight, against the saloons. Motorcycle Strikes Girl. The state highway, near Dunham & bridge, was the scene of another acci- dent vesterday afternoon, Joseph Davidson of Hartford, a state in- spector, riding a motorcycle, having run down Alice Pazomis a ten-year- old girl who was playing in the street. The child’ was rendered unconscious and it is feared her skull was frac- tured. Mr. Davidson was thrown from his ‘wheel. He sustained two broken ribs and painful body briuses Davidson was on his way from Plainville o Southington. At a point near Quecn strect he turned out to avoid hitting a boy who was crossing the highway, when the little Pazomis child darted from the roadside in front of the wheel. Witnesses de- clare that “hes motoreyclist was in no wav ‘4 “lare for the accident. The child and motoreyclist were taken to Southinston where they re- ceived medical- attention. The accident occurred within a:few feet of the spot where John Potter, a laborer, was run -down and killed by an automobile last Saturday. Grange Fair, The annual fair of the Grange wi open in its hall on Pierce street to- morrow afternoon. The committe> of arrangements of which Mrs. Edmond is chairman, has been work- ing hard to make the fair a success and the interest taken in their plans indicates that it will be well pat- ronized- The fair will be held two days, af- ternoon and evening. - There will be a sale of food and fancy articles in the afternoon and on both evenings ‘hc farcial comedy, “A Regiment of Two,” will be presented by the Grange Dri- matic club. Dancing will follow- Trust Co. Incorporators.
