Boston, Sept. 25.—A history of 200 years of guidance to shipping enter- ing Boston harbor was celebrated to- day at Boston light. Secretary Wil- liam C. Redfield of the department of commerce, with a party of invited guests went down the harbor on the lighthouse tender Mayflower to un- veil a tablet on the famous old bea- con. The first permanent light at this point. was authorized by the general court of 1715 and its first rays were seen by mariners on Sept. 14 (Old stayle) 1716. This tow partly of stone and partly of wood, was badly damaged by fire in 1720 and again in 1751. It was quickly repaired both times, but when the British evacuated Boston in the early days of the Revo- lution they demolished the lighthouse. The present stone tower was erected in 1783, DEACON Hartford, DIES IN CHURCH. Sept. 25.—Deacon Silas 80 years of age, died sud- denly last night of heart disease, in the arms of Rev.

East Berlin | | when they Even | ;Plain‘\_/iile N ews NEARLY $1,000 PAID BY SUNDAY SELLERS Dozen “Blind Tigers” Successiul- ly Raided by State Police PROPRIETORS HEAVILY FINED Huge Quantities of Beer Confiscated— Convictions Obtained in All Cases But Two—Biggest Haul in Years— Freight Handler Steals Ham, Owners of ‘“‘blind tigers” contribut- ed nearly $1,000 to the town coffers vesterday following a series of sensa- tional by state police officers with subsequent hearings before Jus- tice A. H. Condell. Twelve houses were visited by Chief Egan’s men during the day and the owners of [all but two of them paid large fines for violating the excise laws, the of- ficers having seized almost a truck load of beer cases. The results would indicate that Plainville is anything but a dry town, especially on Sundays, and that business has been done a wholesale scale by Italian boarding house keepers, who find it more profitable to sell without a license than with one. The amount to be collected by the court as a result of the raids is $939.66, a good part of which will go into the town treasury, all of the men convicted having decided against taking an appeal. Through information furnished by ‘a representative of Chief Egan’s staff, who has been working at the transfer station for the past two weeks, in- vestigating the liquor law violations as a side issue, the state policemen, led by Sergeant Robert W. Bridge- man, came here yesterday morning and swooped down on houses in White Oak, one near the depot, an- other on Central Square, and places on Broad, Maple and West Main street, confiscating beer and liquors which they found on the premises. In all over fifty cases of the ambér- hued beverage were secured. The ofa ficers met with no resistance in any of the places they raided, although in the Italian settlement near the depot a number of men jumped through windows when the police called at the place where they were “visiting.” The officers used an automobile to make the rounds of the houses un- der suspicion and they had to hire a large truck to cart off the wet goods obtained. Deposited in the Town hall as evidence were nineteen kegs and 417 hottles. These will be condemned and destroyed in a few days. Except in two cases, all the prison- readily admitted thelir guilt after were locked up, and they were tried without delay, Justice Condell and Grand Juror Gwillim being sent for as soon as the raids were finished. The grand juror called on State Liquor Prosecutor Jennings of Bristol to assist in the presentation of the charges. Disposition raids er: the: was made of the cases | in which convictions were obtained as follows: Francisco Granelli, $50 and costs, amounting to $97.52; Gloriani Lepori, $50 and costs, amounting to $97.52; Tony Vollella, §50 and costs, amount- ing to $97.52; Giazoni Andelnuir, $50 and costs. amounting to $97.52; Arlilo Fuavo, $50 and costs, amounting to $97.52; Nick Guerra, $50 and costs, amounting to $4 Antonio Silvrio, $100 and cos mounting to $157.02, and Peter Berarnucci, $50 without costs. silvrio paid the heaviest penalty. He has been doing a land office busi- ness at his place near the freight yards for a long time, and the police had a wealth of evidence against him. Carlo Siscolla, whose house is lo- cated close to the Baptist church, was found not guilty. The police found eight bottles of beer in the ice box paid him a call, but the court didn’t think they had sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction. The prosecution nolled the case against Gonato Belana of Broad street, as the officers admitted that their evidence was of a somewhat flimsy nature. The results of the raids, it was ad- mitted around the streets today, will not serve as much of an argument for the prohibition forces during the cam- paign for a no-license Plainville, as it indicates the possibilities of selling in violation of the law. T usiness with the *blind tigers” would be ev ter, the license advocates claim, the town was legally “dry,” as the op- portunities of “speak-easies” would be increased. Hird Ts Champion. William Hird won the tennis cham- pionship of the town Saturday by de- feating Cecil Bedford in the final match of the tournament which has bheen conducted under the auspices of the Plainville lawn club during the past few months. Hird will get pos- session, by reason of his victory, of the championship cup, donated by President S. S. Gwillim. To retain it permanently, however, he must win it for three consecutive years. The runner-up cup, presented by J. H. Trumbull, is to be awarded to Mr. Bedford. The Hird-Bedford contest was a closely contested match, the cham- pion winning two out of three. Plainville Team Wins.
