NEW BRITAIN YOU CAN DEFEND ON DRY GOODS PURCHASED OF U8 Beriin News NEW CLUBHOUSE NEARS COMPLETION Members Are Extremely Proud of Their New Building DEDICATION 1IN OCTOBER Wilson—Thomson Weddi ng, October 18—-Dr. Griswold to Rend Paper | Before Clinical Research Meeting | —Politics Still Fills the Air—Briefs. The bessett new club house of the Matta- association which 1Is being erected on the ledge between the florth and south reservoirs, is near- g completion, and a good general idea can now be formed of the build- Ing and its surroundings when com- pleted. The main building is forty-five by twenty-five feet, the entire floor space bping occupied by one room. Across the entire front of the building, which faces to the west, overlooking the ponds and the mountain, is a ten-foot veranda, from which opens a large entrance flanked by double windows on 4he north and south. On the east side of the room, directly facing the entrance, is a large fire place, built of fleld stone and fitted with the old- fashioned crane and hooks. When completed the south end of the main building will have an ex- tenspon for cooking, and for store- houses, and this end will also prob- ably have a veranda similar to the one on the east side. Settees and lockers will be built along the side of the rooms, and the center will be fitted with tables. It%s expected that the building will ! be lighted by electricity. The financ- Ing of the matter has been entirely | accomplished by the club, which is | in a2 very prosperous condition, with R waiting list of applicants for mem- bership. The officers of the club are, Presi- dent, R. T1. Graham; secretary and treasurer, B. P. Moore; directors, L. 8. Reynal, Dr. R. mMtzsimons, T. H. V. J. Ritchie. The assoclation has done great hvork in the past few years toward stocking the ponds and reservoirs in | this vicinity, looking after game birds | in winter and preventing illegal hunt- Ing and fishing. Tt is hoped the building will be ready for the use of the members the latter part of October. “ wilson—Thomson. Invitations have been issued by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thomson of Ken- ngton for the wedding of their daughter, Miss Margaret, to David L. Wilson of Kensington. The cere- mory will be performed Wednesday evening, October 18, by Rev. Carle- ton Hazen, pastor of the Kensington Congregational church. Dr. Griswold at Meeting. Dr. R. M. Griswold of Kensington ftethis noon for New York wcity, ‘where he will attend the eighth an- nual meeting of the American As- | hard for no-license, many voters hav- morning at 10 o'clock. The meeting will last three days and evenings and the foremost medical men of the country are in attendance. After the business of the meeting finished | several interesting papers will be | presented. Dr. Griswold will read a | paper on “The Legislative Aspects of | Public Education and Hygiene,” at tomorrow’s session. He is also a; member of the executive committce, | which will present a report. The meeting will be brought to a close Saturday evening with a ban- quet. Many noted speakers will par- ticipate in the post-prandial exer- cises. Dr. Griswold will have for his topic, “Medical Fiats.” The Coming Election. Politics is still the talk all over | town and “if” with a capital I seems to-enter into discussion. If the voters | cast their ballots the way they talk, | say the democrats, there is nothing | to it but Beckley. On the other hand, | the republicans claim, if the citizens affiliated with their party follow their usual course, Judge Alling will snov | Beckley under by a large majority. Republican leaders are prone to speak of a large majority, but many of them say the dropping of Arthur Woodruff from the school board may have considerable effect on the vote. It hecame known this morning that some of the party had decided to cam- paign for his election independently, but they feared it would be the means of many useless ballots. The natural thing, they say, is to mark a cross in the republican column, and it would be necessary to write Mr. Woodruff's name in a blank space, and this would invalidate the entire ballot. A prom - inent member this morning advocated the plsn of using a ballot similar to those in vogue in Massachusetts. There the name of every man nominated is put on the ballot and the voters must vote for the individual and canmnot make one mark signifying his party choice. The words “republican, demo- crat, socialist, prohibition” and other party names are left off entirely. The contest for the first selectman- ship is the only one which has ex- cited much interest up to the present as far as candidates are concerned. It is said the “drys” are still working ing been visited by them within the past week. Rumor also has it that the ‘““wets” are on the wob and a close con- iest on the question is expected. No Town Reports. Contrary to the usual custom, the annual town report will not be avail- able for distribution at the election Monday. First Selectman William H. Gibney was asked for the reason this morning and he said that owing to the illness of Auditor Bryan H. Atwater, the latter was unable to audit the ac- counts. Mr. Atwater was taken with a severe cold fair week and has been indisposed ever since. Upon his re- covery he will collaborate with George H. Sullivan, the democratic auditor, upon the books and they will be ready for publication. At Mr. Atwater’'s house this morning it was said he was feeling considerably improved. This will be the first time in seven years that the town report will not be dis- tributed on election day. Chautauquan to Speak. At the close of the regular mid- week services at the Berlin Congre- gational church this evening, O. M. ‘Wecht, a representative of the Na- tional Chautauquan association, will deltver an address on the work of that assocfation. Mr. Wecht will en- deavor to arouse interest in this com- munity and in case the interest is strong enough, it is very probable that the assoclation will have a week’s ses- sociation of Clinical Research, which ppened at the Hotel Majestic this sion here next summer. | this noon, | the all sports were put under way when teams representing Worthington and Kensington grammar schools met on the latter grounds in a game of soccer football. Great interest was manifested in both schools and practically the entire stu- dent bodies and the faculties were in attendance. The game was arranged yesterday afternoon by Manager Joseph Treh of the Worthington school and Man- ager William Bollman of the Ken- ington school. William Skene cap- tained the former team, while George ! Carling was the Kensington leader. Briefs. The firm of William Luby and Wil- liam Kleese has been dissolved by mutual consent and the place of the former in the future will be taken by Constable John Hackett. The new firm has a large number of orders on hand for concrete sidewalks, which is in its line. Tickets are selling readily for the supper of the Woman’s Aid society of the Berlin Congregational church, which will be held tomorrow evening in the church dining room. From present indications a record-breaking crowd will be in attendance. Miss Victoria and Samuel A. Fiske, Jr., have returned from their summer vacation. Bx-Portmaster H. L. Porter re- turned yesterday from Pine Orchard, where he has been the guest of his son, H. W. Porter. Chester Bunce of East Berlin has resumed his studies at the Manlius school, New York. Alfred Bartress has returned to his home in Bensomhurst, L. I., after spending the summer months with his grandmother, Mrs. W. W. Mildrum, of East Berlin. Y. M. C. A. MAN HONORED Archibala C.

Middletown, Sept. 28—The honor- ary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon Archibald C, Harte, secretary of the International Young Men’s Christian association, at the opening exercises here today of the 86th year of Wesleyan University.

AL G e R Plainviiie News JOHNSON WILL WIN; DOPESTERS’ OPINION Re-election of Republican First Selectman Is Expected PLAN PAST MASTERS’ NIGHT Little Interest in the Coming Election —Republicans Confident of Victory —Many Sign Petition for Voting Machines—Zabel Boy Getting Better With the annual town meeting but four days off, interest in the outcome of the voting for the various officials is seemingly nil and for the first time in a number of years there is but little talk concerning the probable results of the contest for first { The republicans appear to be that their ticket is to win easily and the democrats have but little to say, few of them volunteering any Dre- diction. g Men ordinarily regarded as being familiar with conditions around elec- tion time can see but little chance for i the place now held by William Johnson, the choice of the republi- cans. The same two men opposed each other a year ago and Mr. John- son won by a very small margin. The democrats, however, do not claim that their man will make as good a showing this vear. At the last election dissatisfaction over the police arrangement injured the re- publicans and no doubt threw some votes to Mr. Hart. The latter's re- moval as deputy sheriff, which oc- curred but a short time before the election, coupled with his personal popularity and other conditions un- favorablo to the G. O. P. were thought to have helped his campaign materially. This vear the case seems to be dif- ferent. Selectman Johnson has given an administration that appears to be generally satisfactory and the demo- crats apparently have no issue to work on. Consequently the campaign, if one is in progress, is proceeding very quletly. Mr. Johnson's re-elec- tion by a substantial majority, how- ever, is generally looked for. The balance of the republican can- didates will also be returned to of- fice, judging from the indications at this time. The town has a big re- publican majority and there is no rea- son why the G. O. P. candidates should not win, unless the signs are most deceiving. Both parties fied to rest on fizuring that the license bring out the voters, ma on their part unnecessary. The saloon advocates are confident that license will again be victorious and their op- ponents, while ready to fight to the last, do not seem to have much hope of success. Many Sign Petition. Supporters of the plan for the in- stallation of voting machines before the state election in November are ex- periencing no difficulty in securing signatures to the petition calling on the selectmen to order a special town meeting to consider the matter and already the paper carries almost enough names to legaiize the demand. There appears to be considerable sentiment favorable to voting by ma- chines instead of the unsatisfactory Australian ballot and it would not be surprising if the meeting orders the purchase of the necessary mechanical equipment. While the call for the session will make it possible to buy more than one machine, some believe that an extra one will not be required. A voting machine will cost between $600 and $700 and the manufacturers claim that one thousand votes can easily be registered on it a day with- out causing any delays. The following names are already at- tached to the petition: John S. Lar- son, Peter J. Prior, John E. Lamb, James J. Graham, P. J. Prior, Jr. M. Leo Prior, Roswell G. Hart, Wil- liam C. Hart, James J McCusker, L. D. Cady, J. F. Lyons, Frank Cun- ningham, Thomas Bedford and John J. Degan. are seemingly their oars, satis- the leaders issue will king efforts Business Men’s Outing. Committees working on the plans for the annual outing and sheep bar- becue of the Business and Improve- ment association which will be held Saturday afternoon at Lake Com- pounce expect that the attendance will be as large as that of similar af- fairs held in the past.

The following self-explanatory com- munication, regarding the license campaign has been recelved by the Herald for publication: | Edito During the past few weeks I have read in your valuable publication a series of statements in which the authors presented what they termed arguments why Plainville would be better off as a no-license town and why the voters should cast their ballots on Monday against the existing saloons. A number of theories advanced have been interest- ing, to be sure, but for the most part thoughtful consideration will show them to be but theories and not work- able in these practical times. Now I hold no brief for the saloon- keeper and am ested in the liquor business. Pro- hibition that would prohibit would be entirely satisfactory to me but I can find no time for the so-called no- license plan which in a small town especially when it is located close to a license place, closes the saloon, which is under the very eye of the police, and invites the opening of barrooms and peak-easies” descriptions. These are always found to be far worse than the legally licensed saloon. proprietors do a whiskey business principally, because of the difficulties involved in getting large quantities of beer delivered without attracting sus- picion. And the whiskey sold is usually of the cheapest grade, the drinkers of which certainly take a far a s greater risk than those who use intox- | icants sold in the open and bearing the trade-marks of business houses of recognized standing. No-license makes whiskey drinkers. That's the trouble with it. The man who ordinarily is content to go into a saloon for a glass of beer, when de- nied the privilege, is liable to go to a “blind tiger” where questionable whiskey is dispensed. Or he will spend a nickel for a trolley ride to the next town, and having taken the trouble to get that far away from home, will consume what he consid- ers enough drink to compensate him for the bother. In many cases will be more than is good for him. He is worse off and the town itself a sufferer ‘as a result. The matter of the town's getting revenue from the saloon I will leave out of the question entirely. If bene- fits were to be derived by giving up | would | the saloons, the townspeople willingly pay the price but I doubt if they are satisfied to make the sacri- fice and at the same time take risk of making conditions worse. The results of last Sunday’s raids by the state police show how ea Y been to sell without a license under the very eyes of the authorities. Would not greater advantage bhe taken of this opportunity under no-license. I think yes. That's wny I'm going to vote in favor of license and I am suf- ficiently conceited to think that by far the majority of other voters will be with me. the CITIZEN. ‘Was Wanted Here. Arthur Becker of New Britain, wanted by the local authorities on | the charge of theft from person, was | sentenced to the reformatory at Cheshire in the New Britain police court this morning and as a result will not be brought here for trial. Constable Downing has been car- | rying a warrant issued by Grand Juror Norton for the young man’s ar- | rest for the past few days. Becker is | alleged to have stolen $26 from Carl Poshander while the two were at a | clambake near White's crossing Sun- | the | not personally inter- | kitchen | of other | In the first place the | that | lso | ; | Y it has | day. Becker separated his companion | from the roll and then made his | escape through the woods. He subse. | quently returned to his home in New | Britain and assaulted his mother, | escaping from the police by jumping | from a window. He had been mis- | sing from the city until last night | when he returned and was taken into custody. \ Arrangements had been made to give him a hearing here tonight at | 8 o’clock on the the charge of theft | from person, but the action of the | New Britain police court makes the | pigeon-holing of the Plainville war- | rant necessary. May Recover Completely. The rapid improvement in the con- dition of Rhinechardt Zabel, who hs been ill for several weeks with infan- tile paralysis at the home of C.

The child is now able to sit up daily. | He has completely recovered the use | of one arm and the paralysis appears to be leaving the other. His general physical condition is reported good.
