Meriden, Kensington and New Britain trolley company intends to take ad- vantage of its charter and open up a line through Blue Hills, there is con- siderable thought as to what effect that announcement will have on the plans of the Hartford, Meriden and New Britain Trolley company. Tho former company has practically de- cided to experiment with the storage battery cars and a committee is busy Taising enough money to start the venture. The latter concern has se- cured a charter to run a line from Hartford to Meriden by way of New Britain. According to the rumor prevalent a few weeks ago the line was to come from Meriden as far as Durkee’s corner and then branch off, s0 as to go through Kensington by the Paper Goods shop. Whether the fact that the Meriden-New veny’s intentions will change the plans of the Hartford-Meriden com- pany remains to be seen, for no infor- mation could be gleaned from the di- rectors of the latter corporation. Briefs. Mr. and Mrs, George B. Anderson have moved into their home on Ber- €ale avenue.

New s with Drinking and Driving. (Bridgeport Telegram.) Secretary of State Charles D. Burnes, who has several times pro- claimed his abhorrence of the drunk- en drivers and who is administering drastic penalties in an effort to put a stop to the practice, reports a pe- culiar hut characteristic attitude on the part of those who come before him on this charge. The Hartford Courant quotes him as saying: It is amazing the defences which many of the persons charged with operating motor vehicles while under the influence of liquor put up when they appear béfore me and attempt to evade a penalty for their reckless- ness. If the accounts of some of the drivers are to be believed, a single glass of beer or a lone cocktail has the queerest effects imaginable on a person. A chauffeur before me charged with intoxication while driv- ing his car usually has been drink- “just a little bit before lunch” and cannot to save his life explain why he should have lost control of the car from having taken such a limited amount of li- quor. The secretary of stat goes on to explain that he ‘“hasn’t any patience with these drivers,” nor is there any reason why he should have. It f{s a characteristic of drunkenness that its victim is generally serenely ob- livious of his own state. The old belief that much liquor brings out the truth may hold in some respects, but it falls flat in regard to the quan- tity of liquor consumed. The in- ebriate never remembers, or cares to remember, much more than the first cocktail or highball, and even the most ossified specimen, unable to stand and well nigh speechless, will at the very most admit only one drop too much. This as a rule, will he apologetically explained on the ground of a severe cold, which at one and the same time invited the drink and undermined the victim’s endur- ance. In a party of persons who are in a car and have been drinking, the drunkenest of all will always be the one who insists most vociferously upon driving, partly because his ex- hilaration has that effect, and partly because his not driving would be a reflection on his ability to withstand a given quantity of booze. As Secretary Burnes declares, highwa of the state are absolutely unsafe as long as drunken drivers are permitted to remain at the throt- tle, and his policy of severely re- pressing them will meet with ab- solute approval throughout Connecti- cut.

Receiving with keen regret the an- nouncement that owing to her con- templated removal to Cleveland, where she will make her home in the no longer be actively associated with the organization, the grange at its an- nual meeting held last evening elected Miss Lottie A. Beckwith to serve as secretary for the ensuing term. Miss Cowles kept the records of the grange for a number of years and also did a great deal of additional work for the success of the organization. She was one of its most active members and the grange suffers a distinct loss by her removal to the west. Other officers elected at the meeting last night were: Master—Herbert Dow. Overseer—Harold L. Newell. Lecturer—Theodore A. Lyman. Steward—Frank White, Assistant Steward—Allen McKee. Chaplain—S. B. Carpenter. Gatekeeper—John Ahlquist. Ceres—Mrs. George Brooks. Pomona—Mrs. Frank White. Flora—Miss Bessie Loomis. Lady Assistant Steward—Miss Lura Minor. Member executive committee for three years—JFrederick S. Spencer. Reports of the officers indicated that the past year has been most success- ful for the grange and the treasury is now in splendid condition. Numeric- ally it has also gained during the past twelve months and great interest has bene shown in its activities. The members decided last evening to give a series of five whists during the winter, offering a prize for 'he season’s high score in addition to the usual awards at each session. The first of the games will be played next Wednesday night in Grange hall. Autoist Loses License. Indefinite suspension of the driver's license of Claude Williams of Hartford, formerly of this place, was ordered yesterday by Secretary of State Burns, following a hearing held at the capitol. Williams was heavily fined by Justice Prior on November 26 for driving an auto while under the influence of liquor. i party of friends he was pass »ugh Plainville on a “joy ride” when his machine w ditched on the Southington road. The accident occurred after the driver had neglected to comply with' Constable Downing’s order to proceed to a garage to get oil for his lamps, which were extinguished when the officer found the car in front of a cafe. Library Directors to Meet. Members of the board of library ¢i- rectors will meet this evening in the town building. It is likely that some action will be taken regarding the death of Harry A. Fisher, one of the most energetic members of the co:n- mittee. Mr. Fisher was on the board up to the time of his death, although it was generally supposed that he reitred early in the fall. At the republican caucus, which nominated candidates Ralph Morrill was named for a place on the committee. It was believed at the time that Mr. Fisher’s term cx- pired this year and as he had gone to New York to represent the Trumbull Electric company, the voters supposed he would not want the place again. Tt was subsequently learned that it was the term of George A. Case which run our and consequently Mr. Morrill suc- ceeded him rather than Mr. Fisher. During the past few years Mr. Fisher devoted a great deal of his time to the library and many evenings he kept the rooms in the town building open, serving as librarian himself, to accommodate the patrons. Many Ministers Here, Ministers -representing practically ull the churches in the Connecticut and Western Massachusetts conference came here today to attend the con- vention held in the Advent Christian church. The session opened this morning with a short business meet- ing which was attended by a represen- tative number. The afternoon meeting was given up largely to addresses by the mem- bers. Among those who spoke were Rev. Walter S. Bezanson of Bristol, whose topic was: “The Holy Spirit of Apostolic Times,” and Rev. Thomas Feltman of Waterbury, who dis- cussed: “The Need of the Holy Spirit at the Present time.” This evening the session will be open to the public. There will be a praise and soclal service at 6:30 and at 7:30 Rev. Henry Stone of Walling- ford will give a sermon on: ‘“The Church, the Abiding Place of Holy Spirit.” The visiting clergymen were enter- tained at 5 o’clock at a supper served by the ladies of the local church. Autoist Has Narrow Escape.

The nc in use here only as an expceriment but if it proves successful the company has advised the Busincss and Im- provement assoclation that it will be put in force at all crossings where flagmen are now stationed. The tender is now armed Wwith a large disk on which the word “Stop” is printed in white letters that can be seen for a considerable distance. The impression held here, despite the collision yesterday, seems to be that the sign will be much better as a danger signal than was the white flag, after the public gets accustomed to it. ] It will not give complete satisfac- tion, however, at the East Main street crossing. Th is a strong agitation for gates at this place and for the pro- tection of autoists especially it is be- lieved the railroad will eventually bave to make the improvement. Make Partial Distribution. Partial distribution of the estate of Patrick Coughlin, despite the ap- peal of Charles F. Conlon from the action of the probate court in allow- ing the claims of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Coughlin for care of the ec- centric old man and the use of their home for his funeral, is planned for by the administrator, James Cray, and hearing on the matter will be held before Judge Newell in Bristol on De. cember 16th. Mr. Gray wants to distribute among the twenty-one heirs $80,000 of the money on deposit in the varions banks. The balance remaining will be more than enough to protect the estate in case the Conlon appeal re- mains in the courts for a long period. Close for Funeral. The plant of the Empire Electriz and Manufacturing company will be shut down tomorrow afternoon for the funeral of Thomas W. Timbrell of New Britain.

Richard Harding Davis reports a like feeling in France, where he says that: “A Ar ago we were almost one of the allies, much more popular than Ital- ians, more sympathetic than the Eng- lish. Today we are regarded not with hostility, though after the war it may Brow to that, but with contempt.” What has brought about the change? Mr. Davis ascribes it to President Wilson’s call upon Americans to be neutral: “The French could not un- derstand fit. I'rom their point of view it was an ‘unnecessary affront.’ It was as unexpected as the cut direct from a friend, as unwarranted, as gratuitious as a slap in the face.” But we may hope that when the war is over and normal thought-processes are restored, the French people who hold this point of view will perceive its falsity, and will discover that the call for neutrality was directed im- partially to both sides. It is well known that nobody loves a neutral, but that is one of the recognized pen- alties of neutrality.
