Middletown. Oct. 12—George F. Barnes, who is known to the police by various aliases pleaded guilty in the superior court here today to charges of conspiracy and attempting to ob- tain money under false pretences and was fined $1,000 and costs.

New Britain’s streets are in better condition today than at any time !n the history of the city, This was the report the board of public works had to make after completing an inspec- tion of the entire city yesterday af- ternoon. The work done during the present season under direction of City Engineer W. H, Hall met with the entire approval of the board. The commissioners investigated the com- plaint of The Camp Real Estate com- pany concerning the overflow of wa- ter from Walnut Hill park through Hart street and will recommend. the installation of a catch basin to obviate the trouble. The offer of a small piece of land at Belvidere by the Bodwell Land Co., for park purposes was investi- gated and will be taken up with the company. The commissioners inspect- ed Francis street, which the city has been asked to accept. Favorable action is to be taken when the pro- perty owner gives the city a deed. The commissioners investigated the question of a site for a store yard. They were much interested in the offer of The Stanley Svea Grain & Coal Co., to let the city have a por- tion of some property recently ac- quired on the railroad and fronting on Dwight street. The Mill street surface water ques- tion also was investigated. They found Pond street well named as con- siderable water accumulates there and a storm water sewer seems to be the only solution. This matter will receive further consideration. The Corbin avenue death trap came in for inspection. The railroad company is to eliminate this crossing and the commissioners found that Contrac- tor Peter Suzio has the grading on one side well under way. Work on the other side is held up pending a set- tlement with the owners under con- demnation procedings. MATERNAL ASSN.

She had sufficient money, an abund- ance of shells and a superfluity of men for such a war, but was not prepared for so prolonged and strenu- ous struggle. ‘“‘She strove hard,” the correspond- ent declares, ““to meet the demands for ammunition, but she possesses neither the industrial background, the skilled hands nor the industrial mobility to support her army ade- quately. She must depend on out- side help and has to buy from Japan, the United States or elsewhere. Thus the problem becomes largely finan- cial.” m.—The 's supply t in in the east. obeyea | i orders those | PLENTY OF MEAT FOR NEEDS OF CONSUMER Edition of Chicago Daily Farmers and Drovers Journal Reviews Live Stock Situation. St. Louis, Oct. 12—Prophesying that the production of meat in Am- erica will easily meet the needs of the consumed, Jay R. editor of the Chicago Daily Farmers and Drov- live stock situation, before the convention of the American Meat Packers as- sociation here. The speaker admitted that there is now “‘no abundance of live stock in the country, measured by former sup- ply and demand standards,” but he asserted there is sufficient when the present demands are considered. Lean industrial years, criticisms of packing house conditons and the re- cent outbreak of foot and mouth dis- ease, he asserted had contributed to a lesser meat diet and had kept the balance between production and de- mand even though fewer cattle are available. More economical management of livestock production was advocated by the speaker who also dwelt on the necessity of eradicating the foot and mouth disease and adopting restrict- ive measures in combating the spread of tuberculosis in live stock herds. Methods of utilizing waste fats in packing houses were discussed by Maurice Loeb, who insisted that =a scientific test of all waste materials was a necessity for economic opera- tion of packing plants, Brown, ers Journal, today reviewed the DESTROYS GERMAN BALILOON., French Aviator Performs Brilliant Feat in Champagne Region.

When he was convinced he had an explosive which met al! his requirements he started cut for the attack on the balloon. The aeroplanes guarding the balloon, moored fifteen miles behind the Ger- man lines, were so vigilant the lieu- tenant had to try four times before he could rise above it. On the fourth at- tempt he swooped down from a height of 10,000 feet and placed his missles accurately before the balloon could be hauled down. In dropping his fire bombs the Frenchman came rear enough to the earth to be in full range of German anti-aircraft guns, but he managed to rise safely and escaped from a perfect hurricane of bursting shrapnel. struction $75,000 NEW LONDON FIRE.
