Postmaster W. W. Fagan received word from Washington this morning " that after April 30 the rura] mail route known as Kensington No. 1, be discontinued and the work among the rural 1outes of Berlin and Southington. The order stated that patrons could .keep their addresses at the Kensing- ton office and a list must be made cut, which will be divided into the Southington and Berlin routes. This order means, in effect, that Charles Williams, who for the past twelve yars, in sunshine and rain has supplied people in the outlying parts of the district with their mail will be out of a position. Just what the iceea of the postal department in the matter is is hard to- understand, as “Charley” Williams has always vproven an efficient and faithful pub- lic servant. His route covers ap- proximately twenty-one miles a day, and the elements never bothered him, s far as duty was concerned. Local -residents can see no reason why the route should be discontinued for it has been growing larger every month during the past few years. If it had fallen off it would he easy to under- stand. The order, which is signed by the fourth assistant postmaster gen- eral, will go into effect May 1. Has Rib Broken. - John Carbo, one of Kensington's Lest known brick manufacturers, was the victim of a peculiar accident on W Main street, New Britain, yes- terday afternoon about 4 o’clock. Mr. Carbo had business in the post office and went there in his touring car. He shut off the power, but neglected to set his gear at neutral. When he came out, he cranked the # machine and it struck him, knocking bhim down and p ng over his body. He was considerably scratched and bruised about the body and face and one rib was broken. The machine continued on its journey until it col- lided with a pole. Dr. J. 5. Martin, who lives nearby, went to Mr. Carbo’s assistance and brought him his home, where it is thought will have to stay for several wceek This #110orning, he was reported sting comfortably. Forming a That a union among the maker yards is the stor at Be Speaks Union will will be divided he Union. is to be formed at the local brick- y going about town ind it refuses to down despite the fact that most of the older men em- ployed by the manufacturers have given assurances that no strike is in the process of formation. It was noised about town that the union { the Berlin would be formed last night, the object being to secure $3 a day for labor. A large crowd of brick company employes gathered in the lot across from the Kensington post office last night and was addressed by Giol- lanni Valenti of Rochester, N. Y. According to a prominent Italian who was present at the meeting, nothing was said about the union movement, but the speaker confined his remarks to attacking all existing conditions in every country on the face of the earth. He rapped those countries which are at war and those at peace. In fact, he was displeased with about everything in life and desired that each and every one should have an equal share of the world’s goods. The meeting had been advertised among the TItalians during the past week but only perfunctory applause followed the address. Several of those present were asked if there was any movement for forming a union but &ll returned evasive answers. To Hold Military Whist. The Berlin Village Improvement so- ciety will hold a military whist at Tea and Craft shop next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. The whist will be the means of raising funds for the payment of the street lights on Worthington Ridge. Literary Society to Meet, The postponed meeting of the Ber- lin Literary society will be held Mon- day evening at the home of Bryan H. and Miss Mary Atwater. The subject for the meeting will be “Current Events” and various members will take part in the discussion. Poor Deal. That the Berlin pany is not the local concern, which was given a poor deal by itin- erant workers came to light this morning. Several local brick manu- facturers, thinking labor would be scarce, sent representatites to Bos- ton last week to secure help. The agents succeeded in obtaining thirty men. Their transportation was paid from the Hub and sleeping accommo- dations furnished, but when the roll call was read yesterday, morning only two of the thirty put in an appear- ance. The officials of the concerns are much displeased as they treated the men in fine style. The Construc- tion company entered into a contract with the M. and P. Lunch room and the Globe hotel for the feeding and sleeping auarters of the gang. The men came here and spent the night in carousing and when the 7 o’clock whistle blew only flve of fifteen showed up, the remainder taking a freight back to Boston. Because of the rush of business at the Construction company, it was nec- essary for the company to have its loading and unloading gangs work one half day today. Orders are rapidly piling in and an effort is being made to increase the working force. Tickets Selling Fast. The committee appointed at district meeting held in Ker Monday night to consider ws means for the street light mainten- ance, met last evening and discussed the plans for the performance of the Kensington Dramatic ‘club on next Tuesday evening. A preliminary re- port showed that tickets are selling fast and it is felt a packed house will greet the second appearance of the town's Sotherns and Marlowes A rehearsal will be held tomorrow eve- ning and it is expected club will give a . performance on Tuesday which will compare favorably with that of its first appearance. Everyvbody’s Doing followers of Construction com- only the It. Many Izaak Walton gathered at the local brooks and ponds this morning for the purpose of gath- ering in a supply of the finny rascals. All kinds of utensils, from the boy with his bent pin to the man with his complete fisherman’s outfit, were used. They began to straggle back at noon, some with baskets filled, while others had the usual fishermen’s luck, but all wore « pleased expressions and many favorable comments were heard re- garding the sport. Several Boy Scouts were noted starting on hikes. Briefs. Court Mattabessett, F. of A,, held a business meeting last night anqd trans- acted a large amount of routine busi- n John Fitzsimmo ton read a paper on “What Connecti- cut is doing to Exterminate the Bugs Which Destroy Vegetation.” Mrs. Victor Kaminski was reported as resting comfortably this morning. Mrs. Thomas Meranti of Farming- ton road is ill at her home. Mr. and Mrs. George Elton of Ken- j sington left this morning on an auto- mobile trip to Niantic, where they will visit until Sunday. William Carey of Kensington is re- covering from his recent indisposi- tion. A marriage license has been issued to Miss Florence, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller of Hudson street and Hjalmer Carlson, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Carlson of New Britain. Miss Mildred Fagan of Meriden will spend the Baster holidays with her uncle and aunt, Mrs. Thomas Fagan of Kensington. Patrick Kelly, the popular liquor dealer, is convalescing after an attack of rheumatism. WANTED 10 KEEP HIS FAMILY UP IN STHLE Engineer Admits Stealing $12,000 From His Company New York, April 21—After con- fessing that he had stolen more than $12,000 from his employers Harry J. Clarke, an enginecer, of 805 President street, Brooklyn, was arrested terday torney’s office by Detective Russo. Clarke was held in $2,500 bail Magistrate Handy in the Tombs po- lice court for examination tomorrow and he has promised to go over the books of his company and straighten out the apparent ‘discrepancie: Clarke, who is an athletic looking fellow 32 years, said he had first lost money through investment in stock of the Tri-Bullion Smelting and Development company of Maryland, for which for five years he was the and treasurer, with offices at street. He added that he had lost money and that his income did not permit him to keep his moth- er and sister in the manner he d sired and then he began to devise ways to cover up his thefts. That he did this was apparent when all of the mat als used by him were put on a desk in the office of Assistant District Attorneys Colnon wnd Levy. There were several rub- Iber stamps that would show banlk receipts and transfers and also particular signature stamp that used by Clarke to put over a yes- one w bad s of Kensing- | | days afternoon in the District At- | by | Plainville News MEXICAN'S SKULL T0 SERVE AS SOUVENIR Young Solrfier Hopes to Send Father Part of Greaser’s Head DIMES MAY CROSS BORDER Plainville Boy Serving in Cavalry Be- lieves Line of Communication Will Have to Be Strengthened—Rev.

Young Dimes, however, remained on the American side of the border with the troops selected ta do patrol duty. Makes Good Tmpression. Rev. W. Waldo Weller, the new pastor of the Methodist church, made a most favorable impression on local people last evening when he gave the sermon at union Holy week services in the Baptist church. Mr. Weller is an eloquent preacher and his talk was listened to attentively by a large congregation. The new pastor is at present living check for $440 in payment to I. Ward Bannister, a lawyer of Denver, Col, who had done work for the corporation. As treasurer of the company Clarke had the right to sign checks, but the custom was to have such checks countersigned by a director of the compan: Under date of October 29, 1914, Clarke admits, he made out a check for $4.40 in favor of the New York Telephone company. After hav- ing it properly countersigned he raised the amount from $4.40 to $440 and then sent his office assistant to a nearby bank to have it cashed. He paid the telephone bill and kept the balance. Before Clarke could do this he had to have an apparent indorsement on the back of the check, and this ap- pears a rubber stamp in the name of Bannister. Lverything might have gone well with Clarke's plans had not account- ants come in to look over the trans- fer of the business into new hands This was in January, and the hooks showed that Bannister had never gof his money, for he had put in a bill for legal rvice Judson G. Wall, president of the Tri-Bullion Smelting and Develop- ment, referring to the confession of Clarke, said that the confession was the result of an investigation institut- ed by him after he became president of the company in January.
