The troubles of the Venturos have been in the limelight for a number of years and reached. their culmination two weeks ago when Judge George Griswold found James Perrette, the well known Kensington cobbler, guil- ty of theft of household goods be- longing to Venturo- Perrette was a boarder in the Ven- turo home until six months ago. Evi- dently there was something wrong be- cause Felix ordered him to take his belongings and depart from his do- micile. After that it was an open se- erat about town that Mrs. Venturo of- teq visited the cobbler in his shop- The climax came a month ago when Venturo had Perrette arrested, charged with stealing household goods. Perrette claimed the goods were left in his shop by the woman and Judge Griswold gave him two weeks to pro-| duce Mrs. Venturo, she having left town. The cobbler could not or would not get the woman to return so the Judge found him guilty and assessed a fine of $7 and costs: The cobbler appealed and is at present out on bonds. The husband said this morning he was determined to secure a divorce from his life on the grounds of de- sertion in the past but is absolutely through with her now, he says.. Th swwoman has received much notoriely during the past seven years on account of her actions. She created a scene on Main street, Kensinztor, s1x years ugo when, in an altercaticn \/ith ong of her numerous ‘admirers, :a¢ siashed him with a razor.

Pear Sirs:— ¢, the Berlin hasketball team de- re that you take up for consideration hofore your hoard the matter of yent- the Berlin town hall to us for tac burpose of playing basketball. This would necessitate the use of the hall one whole evening of each week and hour or so on one other evening Wwhen the 'hall is not in use, for prac- tice. We have talked toa number of peo-~ ple of Berlin in regard to a basketball team and they seem very enthus over the idea and promise support. We can assure you of good order at our games and we will take the re- sponsibility for the good treatment of the hall upon ourselves- Hoping that you will give this mat- ter careful consideration and that it will meet with your approval, we await your reply. Yours very truly, The Berlin Basketball Team Per G. L. Bunce. P. S. Please state terms The news that the boys have decid- ed to enter the basketball arena was well received about town this morning and the general feeling us their to them.

Some of the aged and exerted so much influence that it was decided not to rent the place for that purpose. As there was no other suitable place available the game passed out of sight locally until two years ago when games were held in Foresters’ hall. There has been much agitation in favor of the return of the game so the boys got together and formed a team. “Bill” Jones, who was a star guard on the old Worthington team which never lost a game on its floor, has been secured to coach and the team ; following | will be picked from the men: Roy Gibney, George Bunce, Earl Gibney, Merwin Vile, Howard Rawlings and Frank McKeon. All have had much experience, Roy Gib- ney being a member of.three N. B. H. S. state championship teams and captain during his last year at the school. Several good games are pending and the team assures the townspople some fast basketball, if it can secure a hall. The board of selectmen will probably allow boys to play a game in the hall in the near future in order to test pub- 1z opinion. Successful Masquerade.

Other than to admit that the wage ques- tion was considered the trolleymen would not offer any information as to what took place at the session. It iwas reported, however, that nothing occurred at the gathering to indicate that the men have any intention of going on strike should the company turn down their request. Action on the petition has not as yet been taken by the directors, ac- At least the men have recelved no reply from the officials and they assume that nothing has as yet been done regarding it. Following a voluntary increase in wages recently made by the company the men submitted a petition for an additional raise. They want the scale made from twenty-five to thirty cents an hour instead of twenty-four to twenty-nine. Besides they have asked for ten cents an hour extra for over- time. While they are dissatisfled with the new scale, the men admit that their petition is not in the nature of an ultimatum and should the company see fit to reject it there will be no trouble. The company is now paying higher wages to its conductors and motormen than men similarly em- ployed on other lines are receiving. Most of the men have been with the coempany for many years and good feeling exists between the manage- ment and the employes. Some of the men claim to be satis- fica with the pay they are recelving, would not objéct to a ise. Officers of the company declare they are willing to put in force the same ile operative on the Connecticut company’s lines, twenty-two to twenty-eight and one-half cents an hour with extra pay for overtime. As the men have to work extra hours but seldom, they figure that this would in reality be a reduction in pay and they are not in favor of its substitu- Subject, “Christianity a Life, o’clock.
