Knother Secret Conclave Held to * Oust Him PERRETTE’S CASE CONTINUED PJoseph Ringwood Has Arm Broken by Automobile—Hunters Get Busy— . New Industry May Be to Manufac- ture Blankets—Opinions on Board. * Like Tennyson’s brook, the drives against First Selectman William H. Gibney go on forever. Not content with organizing opposition against his recent election, the same interesis have met lately and drawn up reso- I6tions, which they will present at he town meeting Tuesday, to take eway some of his other work. The office which is the cynosure of their eyes, is that of prosecuting attorney. A secret meeting, similar to that in the Blue Hills district a few weeks Bgo, was held recently and plans were ade to bring a resolution before the a3sembly, which will prevent the first selectman from holding any other position. Mr. Gibney’s friends pre very indignant about this affair rnd are working hard to defeat the resolution. They say he has always proven a conscientious official and has filled both positions with credit to himself and the town and there- fore should be retained. It remains to be seen what they will accomplish Pt if past affairs of a similar char- ncter are any criterion, their oppo- pition will only be a ripple on the purface. Mr Gibney’s adherents say they will turn out in force and defeat: any attempt to push the resolution through. Arm Broken by Automobile, Joseph, the 11 year old son of Mr. pnd™Mrs. John Ringwood of Ken- sington, had his left arm broken by an automobile about 6 o’clock last night on Main street. According to pye witnesses, young Ringwood was riding on the rear of a wagon, which was going up the street, ‘when he jumped off and started across the rogd. Louis Reynal, president of the American Paper Goods company, was coming in ‘the opposite direction in his automobile and stru-!: ‘he boy before he was aware of Jo: s pres- ence. The boy was thrown to the ground and his arm broken. . Mrs. Reynal took the youngster to Dr. *R. M. Griswold and the latter or- dered him sent to the New Britain General hospital. There a few minor puts about the body were found. At the hospital this morning it was re- ported that he was resting comfort- | ably. Much sympathy was expressed about town for Mr. and Mrs. Ringz- | wood, for their seven year old son, Warren, is just recovering from a recent accident, Wwhen he fell off the dam near the Paper Gocd com- pany’s factory. .

The case against James Perrette, charged with the theft of household goods from Felix Venturo, was con- tinued for. one week by Judge George Griswold today. No trace of Ven- turo’s wife has ben found and as she is the most important witness, it was rumored about town that the cobbler and the wife were planning to elope, when Venturo smelled a rat and invoked the strong arm of the law to prevent it by having Per- rette arrested on the theft charge. ‘Who Will Be on Finance Board? The membership of the proposed finance board is still perplexing many of the townspeople and there is much discussion pertaining to it. names have been mentioned but the majority of voters seem to think that Colonel Charles M, Jarvis will repre- sent the Berlin district, E. W. Mil- drum, will be chosen from Eaat Berlin and George Greene from Ken- sington. ‘What Is The Proposed Industry? Although there is nothing new con- cerning the locating of a new indus- try in the old Berlin Iron Bridge plant at East Berlin, some of the townspeople still feel that it will be started. A few of them have taken the trouble to find out something about the men who are supposed to be interested in the project. From and | { would find a Burdick, | Several | PROMPTLY RE- OF Us. an authoritative source it has been | learned some were at one time con- { nected with the carpet industry in | Massachusetts. This news has led | some to believe that they contem- { plate starting a similar line of work. It wiil be remembered at the time of the inspection of the plant two weeks ago, the strangers replied in an evasive manner when asked whether they ‘would manufacture ammunitions. From their conver- sation listeners deduced that they are going to manufacture goods which ready market. Of course, munitions was the first thing to enter the minds of the townspeo- ple. It is felt by some that the promoters are still carrying on ne- gotiations for the property but are trying to keep it quiet until they are completed. The latest rumor is { the concern intends to turn out blank- ets and clothing. Cider Mills Busy. There is much activity in the cider mills of the town since the recent storms. The winds have created havec among the trees, especially the apple trees, and practically stripped them. The apples decay rapidly after they become bruised, and in order to save the crop from being a total loss, the owners collect them and bring them to the cider mills. Mrs. Wickwire and son, Grant, are spending two weeks in Philadelphia They made the trip by auto. Mrs. George F. Elton of Kensing- ton has returned from a vacation in Danbury. John Johnson has left the employ of the construction company and will move to Westbrook tomorrow. There will be services in St. Paul's church tonight at 7:30 o’clock. John A, Moore of Kensington will leave tomorrow for Boston where he will witness the world’s series games in that city. There are so many ways of cook- ing tomatoes that they can be served once, and sometimes twice, each day, | and to some extent reduce the meat bill. = With good cream for the dress- ing there is nothing more delicious than fried tomatoes. Then they can be stuffed and baked. They can be escalloped or they can be stewed. AENIER, PICKHARDT & DUNN 27 FAIN STRFET AFPOSITE ARTH.

The matter was taken up with the New Haven road some time ago at the directors’ session it was learned that the railroad engineering ‘epart- ment has made arrangements to +t~ the approach satisfactory. This be pleasing news to manufactu e and merchants who have to 1.l freight to and from the station as there has been general dissatisfaction | for a long time with the condition of | the land used for vehicular traffic. President Wheeler stated this morn- ing that many important matters were considered by the directors. The | rlans for bettering of conditions are | until more progress has been made, they will not be made public. The final report of the committee in charge of the annual sheep barbecue held recently made a final report last night. After paying all expenses the committee had a balance of ninety cents which was turned into the treasury. The ’'hake was a big suc- cess and the committee was compli- mented on the success of its efforts. Progress was reported in the efforts to get a later train at night from Hartford to Plainville. The directors also learned that the utilities com- | mission is meeting with some success in its attempt to make the hauling of freight cars through the streets less objectionable, eliminating it entifely if possible. The matter has been taken up with the officials of the Con- necticut company and the directors are greatly encouraged over the pro- gress made by the committee. It is the intention of the directors to avoid, if possible, appeals to the public utilities commission. They prefer to deal first with the corpora- tions, giving them an opportunity to remedy the complaints. The board believes that more can be accom- plished in this manner than in any other way. Named to represent the local association at the annual meeting of the Connecticut Chamber of Com- merce to be held in Windsor on Octo- ber 21st were Vice President E. H. Hills, Secretary F. L. Benzon and C. H. Newton. The latter is chair- man of the utilities committee. President Wheeler is a director of the state organization and he too, will attend the gathering. Want Salary For Selectman. According to reports in circulation today an effort will be made at the adjourned annual town meeting Mon- day night to have the first selectman serve on a salary basis. It was said that a resolution will be presented authorizing the payment of $1,000 a year to that official for his services. No mention of this matter is made in the call for the meeting and it may not be considered legal to take action on it. The general impression, however, seems to be that the plan is an ex- cellent one. At the present time the first selectman is allowed but §2 for each day he works during the year. The town reports show that his compensation is usually between $500 and $600 a year, an amount con- ceded to be far from commensurate with the duties and responsibilities which attend the office. The present method of paying the selectman is antiquated and is now in vogue only in a few back woods towns, practically all progressive places paying the chief executive a salary. The first selectman is the town's chief officer. He gets but $2 a day. That surely is no credit to the town he serves, and nothing for him to brag about either. The mater of having him paid a salary has been talked of for vears but nothing has been done 'to bring . about the change. If it is taken up at the coming meeting and action by the voters on the question is ruled as legal, the $2-a-day plan will un- doubtedly be relegated to the morgue.

His advent in the ranks of nonogenarians was quietly celebrated at his home on East Main street, a few intimate friends who were aware that today was the anniversary of his birth calling to extend their con- gratulations. Never given to osten- tation, Mr. Tinker wanted no formal celebration of the event and he spent the -day quietly. For many years Mr. Tinker has been one of Plainville’s best known citizens. He is held in high esteem and is beloved by his fellow-towns- men. Years ago he was one of the well known tavern keepers of this locality. He was landlord at the Eagle House, now the Colonial Inn, for a long time and was popular with the traveling public whose' wants he served. He retired from the business a number of years ago. Mr. Tinker was honored by his fellow citizens on a number of oc- casions by election to many positions of trust. He always performed his duties conscientiously and well. He is one of the town’s most ardent democrats. Though quite feeble owing to his advanced age, Mr, Tinker insisted on exercising his right of suffrage at the town election on Monday and he was given an auto ride to the polls. Assessors To Mect Soon. The board of assessors is making preparations for its annual session and it is expected that the first meet- ing will be called for next week when notices will be issued warning the property owners to send in their lists. There will be one new face at the sessions this year, William J. Simpson taking the place of Edward A. Freeman. Mr. Simpson has served on the board of relief for a number of years and is familiar with the work of the assessors. The board anticipates a rather easy time this year. Last vear the as- sessors revised the town's grand list and it is not expected that it will be necessary to make many changes this fall. Brief Items, Many of the factories in town will be closed Tuesday for the Columbus Day. celebration, While there will be no special observance of the holiday here many of the residents are plan- ning to participate in the celebra- tion in Bristol. The local barber shops will close at noon Tuesday and it is expected that the stores will also be open but half a day. A motorcyclist on his way to South- ington collided with an automobile, driven by Mrs. M. E. Rogers, near the corner of Whiting and East Main streets yesterday afternoon. The cyclist was thrown from his wheel but was uninjured. Neither of the machines were damaged. Respon- sibility for the accident was placed entirely on the cyclist by eyewitness- es. Negotlations are in progress for the leasing of the store in Newton's block, formerly occupied by the post- office, by the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company. Members of the Baptist church are making plans for a reception to be tendered to Rev. J. W. Ward, the new pastor of the church. Martha Rebekah lodge will have a public whist in Odd Fellows' hall Monday evening.
