Berlin News _ o o e e bt TV e - ALLING AND LEWIS TO REPRESENT TOWN, H. H. Spooner Appoints Well Known Citizens ON TROLLEY COMMITTER Plans for New Britain-Meriden Trolley Progressing Rapidly—Sons of Vet- 4 erans to Have Open Meceting Tonight —Music, Speaking and Dancing. Plans for the building of the new trolley, or rather storage battery line between New Britain and Meriden via Kensington are moving rapidly. At a meeting of the New Britain, Kensing- ton and Meriden Street Railroad com- pany, held in the Chamber of Com- m¥rce rooms in New Britain on Mon- fay evening of this week, H. H. Bpooner was appointed to choose two residents of this town to act on the committee for raising enough money to take care of the first mortgage bonds. This morning Mr. Spooner an- nounced his choice to be Charles ¥. Lewis and Judge Willard I. Alling. 4When interviewed this morning, Mr. Spooner said he had given much thought as to who would be the best men in the town to appoint on the committee. He consulted several prominent citizens on the matter and the consensus of opinion was that Messrs. Lewis and Alling would make ideal members. Mr. Lewis was named ecause of his connection with the American Paper Goods company and because of his affiliation with the plan of the proposed line since its incep- tion, He is thoroughly acquainted with all that has been done in the mat- tey, being one of the incorporators of te company. Judge Alling was chosen because he is one of the largest property owners on the route over which the line will run. The citizens of Blue Hills were strongly in favor of the selection of Judge Alling. The sclections of Mr. Spooner met with much favorable comment about town this morning. Members of the committee from New Britain will be chosen by E. Allan Moore and from Meriden by H. Wales Iines. The committee will hold its st meeting Saturday afternoon and ldiscuss plans for raising the necessary money to finance the project. Just at present there seems to be a division of opinion whether it would be better to have the line run from the end ofthe Apgh street trolley line of the Con- neéticut company or to join the latter rompany’s line at Upson’s corner. In pither case the line will run by the Paper Goods factory and through Blue Hills to Meriden. This question will be decided by the committee at its meeting Saturday. The charter of the company gives it the right to run from gither place. There is much enthusiasm in Ken- sington over the plans and the resi- dents hope the line will be in opera- lion before another winter rolly around. : Sons of Veterans Open Meeting. The committee in charge of the on's of Veterans association meet- which will be held in the new Grange Hall tonight, met last night and completed plans for the program, ag well as decorating the hall. The hall is tastefully adorned with flags and buntings. After the work was finished the committee arranged the following program: Musio Reading—Mrs. Cora H. Eddy, presi- dent of the Women's Relief Corps, New Britain. Vocal solo—Mrs. Walmsley. Address—Frederick V. Streeter, Com- mander of Stanley Post chapter, G. A. R, New Britain. Reading—Mrs. Bertha Burr Sharps. Remarks—William E. Latham, For- mer Commander of Stanley Post Chapter, G. A. R., New Britain. Vocal solo—“The Star Spangled Banner’ b Mrs. Walmsley | Arrangements were made for the reception of a large number of peo- | ple. All the local veterans have sig- | nified their intentions of being pres- ent and acceptances have been re- ceived from Stanley Post, G. A. R, of New Britain and the Women’s Re- lief Corps of New Britain. The as- sociation hopes that, many of the townspeople will also attend. Miss Mae Skinner will act as chief usher and she will be a sted by six young Jadies of the town. After the pro- gram is carried out dancing will be enjoyed, the Phoenix orchestra of New Britain furnishing the music. The commitee in charge of to- night’s meeting consists of Roy Gib- ney, chairman; Garfield Gibney, A. H. Bushnell, Judge George G. Griswold and Harry Gould. To Observe 203rd Anniversary. Friday, December 10, is the anni- versary day of ,the Kensington Con- gregational church. On this day two hundred and three vears ago tho church was organized. To celebrate the day the Ladies Society will serve one of its monthly suppers at 6:30 o'clock p. m. Following the supper, there will be some reminiscences and sketches of members and benefactors of a former generation, which will be given by present members. These will include Miss Fanny Sco- ville, the donor of a fund for charity, concerning whom Deacon Samuel A.! Hart will speak; Miss Eliza Dickin- son, the donor of a fund for the so- clety, to be presented by Mrs. S. M. Cowles; Jonathon T. Hart, the donor of a fund for the society to be given by Edward P. Dunham, Miss Frances Robbins, donor of a fund for the church, to be presented by Miss Ellen M. Moore. Others besides the speak - ers assigned will be invited to add reminiscences. Approve Board of Trade. Since the rumor concerning the revival of the Board of Trade, which | was noted in this column on Monday of this week, there has been much comment about town. The majority of the townspeople are of the opin- ijon that the town needs just such an organization. The feeling is general if a body of this character should be formed the factories in town would soon be in operation again. There is several other matters in the town, which are neglected now and could be taken care of by such a body. i Superior Court Cases. | Arthur Goodrich of Wethersfleld, who was bound over by Judge Gris- wold on a charge of bigamy was sen- | | tenced to state prison for from three to flve years by Judge Gardiner Greene in the superior court yester- day. { Prosecutor Gibney and Constable | Ritchie attended the trial of John A.

He was fined $150 and costs here and his attorney, Daniel O'Keefe appealed the case. The local officers assisted the state’s attorney in tho prosecution of the case. Briefs. The women of Methodist church hold their weekly prayer meeting with Mrs. Emerson Hotchkiss tomorrow after- noon at 3 o'clock. the will Kensington the will The Women’s Aid society of Berlin Congregational church hold a food and apron sale at church tomorrow afternoon at o’clock. Christmas cards will be offered for sale. the 2 also Miss Anna Stowe, who has been Mr. and Mrs. Herbert San- ders of Kensington, returned to her home in New York today. The weekly prayer service of the visiting George A. Case was elected to fill the vacancy on the board of library directors caused by the death of Harry A. Fisher at a meeting held in I‘ the town building last evening. Notice | of his selection was forwarded today by the secretary, Rev. R. H. Burton and he will be expected to begin ser- vice on the committee at once. Mr. Case was & member of the Loard until the last election. The re- publican caucus nominated Ralph E. Morrill for his place, although it was then believed that Mr, Fisher's term expired in October and he would not want to serve again because of busi- ness which kept him out of town a greater part of the time. The new i member has always shown a deep in- terest in the library and his selection as Mr. Fisher's successor will meet with general approval. Resolutions on the death of Mr. Fisher were adopted as follows: “The directors of the Plainville public library desire to express their deep regret at the sudden death of their colleague, Harry A. Fisher, and their warm appreciation of his ser- vices in the interests of the library. A citizen both of publc spirit and good literary judgment Mr. Fisher, as chairman of the board and a member of the book committee, gave many hours of labor not officially required of him, but generously allotted to the task in hand. Believing the public library to be one of the most valuable assets of our community, we feel that Mr. Fisher has rendered a large ser- vice that should not and will not be forgotten. Ana it is voted that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs. Fisher with cur sympathy, that they be entered upon our minutes, and published in the columns of the New Britain Herald.” Gets Term in Prison. Annie Smith, one of the leaders of the gang which operated a notorious Tesort Plainville up to a few months ago was sentenced to state's prison for from three to five vesterday by Judge Gardiner Greene in superior court before which she was arraigned on the charge of using females for the purpose of prostitu- tion. The woman’s appearance in court was the result of a raid on an immoral house which the gang opened in Bristol a few days after they left Plainville. She admitted her guilt when put to plea. Frank Galath, an- other member of the gang, was given a year in jail, evidence showing that he had not been as prominent in the “white slave” traffic as the Smith in vears woman. The case against Thomas Masso, who was caught with the cthers in the raid, was nolled by the state’s attorney. The police have not given up the search for “Skinny,” the recognized leader of the band, who disappeared on the day of the raid, and the state authorities still have hopes of cap- turing him. Sent to Reformatory. Charles Saltus of New Britain, who claimed that the only trouble he got into since he was released from the Connecticut School for Boys wasg the result of his “throwing rotten eggs at a cop,” was committed to the refor- matory yesterday by Judge Greene, With Frank Kosky, Saltus appeared in the superior court to plead to the charge of having broken into the bungalow of Harold T. Sloper on ‘White Oak Mountain. The boys had been bound over by Justice E, P. Prior. Attorney P. F. McDcnough spoke for, Saltus. In Kosky's case, the judge imposed a sentence of one year in jail, but suspended judgment and put the accused on probation. Thinks Inventory Low. William C. Hart expects to take is- sue with men who inventoried his bankrupt estate when the hearing for the appointment of a trustee is held before Refcree Yeomans Monday aft- ernoon. Mr. Hart claims that his property was not listed for anything like its full value in the appraisal and if the estate is settled in accordance with the figures shown in the inven- tory, the creditors will get but a few events on every dollar of their bills.
