Towuspeople Argue Pro and Con Regarding Coffin Factory Sale MAGHINERY DUE IN 60 DAYS Infant Falls Into Pail of Mash and Is Badly Church to Have Annual Supper To- <Nighb—Elecu'lc Co. Installs Wires. The principal topic of discussion pbout town for the past few days is how soon the Monarch Stitch Tire company intends to open its new plant at the old Hartford Burial Case company’s factory. Two sides are ng taken by citizens, some claim- ing the industry will be a great aid to \lre town, while others say the whole affair is a promotor’s scheme. When the news was received in town a few days ago that the Tire concern had rurchased the property, there was general rejoicing. From a record re- ceived at the town clerk’s office, it develops that the transfer was not imgde outright. According to the document the Monarch Stitch Tire company has paid the Hartford Burial Case company $2,000, which will be applied on the $22,000, the price of the sale. The deeds of the property will be turned over to the former concern “on or before two years after February 2, 1916,” when the remain- ing payment of $20,000 1is made. Those who are inclined to think the matter is a promoter’s scheme, claim that the fact that the option has two vears to run, is a justification of their claim. When the sale was reported, It was said the company would begin installing machinery in about sixty days. Whether this will be done or not Temains to be seen Child Badly Burned. Mary, the two vears old child of Mr. and Mrs. Blaze Rebese of Ginger- bread lane, was severely burned nbout the back and neck Wednesday nflernoon when she fell into a pot containing a hot mixture of bran mash. Mrs. Rebese had just com- pleted the mash and was about to leave the house to give 1 the stack, when two of the r chil- dren tried to gain admittance to the house. They were unable to open the 100r. 50 Mrs. Rebese placed the pot on the floor to admit them Hardly had she. turned her n she heard little Mary sc ound the infant laying on her ha ' in the sh. How she fell in the pot back- ird is a mystery. The mother has {ily removed her and finding her back and neck badly burned applied home remedies. The cHild suffered so se- vervely that vesterday Dr. Arvid An- dergon was ealled to treat the case. The child was resting comfortably this morning. Women's Final plans Burned — Congregational { rea Aid Supper. have been completed for the annual supper of the Berlin C‘engregational church. which will be held tonight under the anspicos of uthe: Women's Aid society. The supper is generally held in conjunc- tion. with the annual meeting but on ‘count of the December blizzard put- ting the heating apparatus out of | commission it was postponed. After llhc supper the diners will adjourn to the parlors where an entertainment | will be given. The committee was ' unable to announce the complete pro- gram this morning but feels certaiy everyone present will be pleased. To Use Electricity. In order not to be under in- fluence of Nature’s whims, the local brick manufacturers have decided to depend more on man, so electricity will be used more than formerly in ‘the drying process and as fuel to the machinery. Work was started this morning by a gang of men employed by the United Electric Light and Water company in rplacing poles, which, when completed, will hold ' wires to carry 11,000 volt currents | 10 the yards.

The visitors swamped the hosts’ first ta- ble by a score of 50 to 9, while the second table score was 50 to 39. The total score now stands 180 to 119, the Globe team being in the lead.

A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or lack of important food-elements. In changing seasons | fatfoods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the system .better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the important reason why Scott’s Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and it does more— builds strength to prevent sickness. Scott’s Emulsion contains Nature’s rare strength-building fats, so skillfully | blended that the blood profits from ! every diop.

The action by the board was in response to letters that are being sent to business men’s associa- tions all over the country inviting them the United States ready to protect itself from a possible foreign invasion. Many matters were considered at the session. The meeting followed a dinner served by the club steward. Plans for the annual banquet were considered and the directors voted to have the affair some time in April, the appointment of committees to be left with the president, F. T. Wheeler. The selection of the exact date will depend largely on the convenience of men who will be invited to speak. The street lighting, particularly as it relates to Whiting street, was also gone into. The directors’ principal objection to the service mow given by the Connecticut company concerns the practice of turning off the lights at midnight. They would like to get an all night service and will make an ef- fort in this direction. Members of the board do not feel that the town would have an open-and-shut case should an appeal be taken to the utili- ties eommission as that body might decide that the court ordered the company to install lights to minimize the danger from the cars rather than to illuminate the highway for other purposes. The matter has been taken up with the trolley officials and the directors propose to continue their agitatlon for something better than the town is now receiving. President Wheeler said today that the directors have not ceased their efforts to get better protection for the public on the East Main street cross- ing. There has been an improvement since the matter was first taken up with the railroad officials but condi- tions nevertheless are anything but satisfactory. There have been several narrow escapes at the crossing recent- ly proving that the danger continues grave. Promises regarding the slow- ing down of freight trains as they approach the crossing and the issuing of certain orders to brakemen have not been lived up to of late and Mr. Wheeler and his assoclates intend to again remind the company of the hazard to autoists and teamsters at this poilnt. They feel that conditions will not be right until gates are in- stalled but as such an improvement may not be realized for a long time they hope to get other changes that will help minimize the danger in the meantime. The conditions of sidewalks in some parts of the town was discussed. During the thaw or after a heavy rain some of the streets resemble a sea of mud and walking is anything but pleasant. The directors were ad- vised that the Trumbull Electric com- pany is willing to give cinders to all property owners who will use them on their sidewalks. Cartage will be the only expense that applicants will have to bear. Tt i{s expected that many will take advantage of this offer as there is plenty of room for im- provement in front of dozens of homes. President Wheeler was authorized to appoint two members to serve with Secretary F. L. Benzon on a commit- tee to arrange for a ‘'swat the fly” campaign in Plainville next summer. The association will work in co- Gperation with the national society for the extermination of the fly. War will he declared on the pest early in the spring and the townspeople will be asked to enlist in the army. Committees reported that the asso- ciation’s club rooms in the Odd Fel- lows' block have been redecorated and now present a very pleasing ap- pearance. The directors believe that the.club rooms afford the men of the town a good place to gather for an evening’s social pleasure and Presi- | dent Wheeler suggested today that the members, and other residents as well, call at least to inspect them Many other matters were brought up at the meeting but plans concern- ing them, the directors state, have not developed sufficiently to make any announcements concerning them. ‘Woman Goes to Jail. Mrs., Alice Gum was taken to the Hartford jail last evening by Con- stable Henry David, having failed to rets a bondsman to furnish securi of $1,000 to guarantee her appear- ance before the superior court at the March term when she is to face trial with her brother on charges of i cest.

Griffin, her ailegations impressing the court that there was probable cause for holding her as well as the other defendant for ‘trial, The state's case was presented by Attorney J. T. Mather of Bristol, act- ing with Grand Juror S. S, Gwillim. The alleged offenses, she testified, were committed between Junt 20 and August 1 last. Under cross examina. n by Attorney P. F. McDonough, ccunsel for her brother, the woman denied having improper relations with cther men. Other witnesses for the state were her sister, Mrs. Carl Roper, and Mrs. Fred Roper, with whom she lives. Both told of Mrs. Gum in- forming them of her condition and of making accusations against her Erother. One of them declared that Griffin had offered her money to leave town before his arrest. The defense waived examination, Griffin’s counsel deciding to make the fight before the superior court instead of here. Bonds of $1,000 which were fixed in Griffin's case were furnished by H. C. Thompson and A, M. R mond. Criticises Police.
