Berlin News GIBNEY RESIGNS AS BERLIN PROSECUTOR Has Several Out of Town Offers Under Consideration {HELD OFFICE EIGHT YEARS Wudge Griswold Says He Will Receive Recommendations for Successor— Thinks Richard Murray Well Fitted for Posivion—Political Ball Rolling. Awother surprise was sprung this merning,. when it became known that ‘Willilam H. Gibney, for the past eight years prosecutor in the town court, had sent his resignation to Judge George G. Griswold. The latter con- firmed the report. He said he will ™ WILLIAM H. GIBNEY. upon Prosecutor Gib- but doubted if his ef- would be of any avail. In his ation Mr. Gibney said that he expected to obtain employment else- wi having several positions i view, and consequently to hamper the court supstitute. He will return urdays. Judge Griswold nonplussed upon g the nation and upon being quest to who would be Mr. G eessor replied, I have hc movement has been on foot recent caucus, when Jud feated Mr. Gibney for th for selectman, to have the ed as prosecutor. I am whom I shall appoint to cancy, but I shall be ple sider any recommendaiion succes from those who dc see him vacate the pogition. ey in my estimation is the b: cutor the town can producc and I riainly am loath to accept his esignation.

Mr. Murray was graduated from Columbia Law school and studied for two vears in the district court in New York city, when Governor Whitman was the dis- trict attorney. This is not final, how- ever, and I shall wait a few days to consider any other man, de: those who are not pleased Gibney."” Inquiry as to whether Richard Mur- | ray would accept the position, at his home today, brought the answer that | Mr. Murray was away. | Mr. Gibney has been prosecutor for ! eight vears and has practically filled the position since the founding of the | town court about twelve years ago. He has always rved the best intere of the court and is considered one of the best lay prosecutors in the state. All Is Politic: The democrats are indignant over the action of the republican caucus in nominating a man for a place on the assessors’ board this year. At the caucus Carl J. to fill the vacancy, and the followers of Jefferson claim this is unfair for it leaves their party without a repre- sentative on the board. Formerly there was a minority representation, but the action of a recent legislature is wrongfully understood, claim the democrats. A prominent member of the party said this morning: “The action of the republicans in taking everything is wrong. The fact that we are not allowed a representative on the board is nothing but ‘taxation. without representation.’” A similar condition arises on the board of re- lief. John A. Moore, chairman of the democratic town committee, was asked morning why his party had failed make any nominations for grand jurors, and he said: ‘There is no reason why we should. The local town ‘court can take care of all cases and it is merely an empty honor grand juror. We discussed the mat- ter and decided not to have any, rather than be laughed at by many citizens. Our republican brethren have placed E. W .Mildrum’s name on the list, but we fail to see how he can |serve. Mr. Mildrum is a member of {the finance board and when that {board was created, a rule was made that & member could not be a candi- | date for any elective office.’ The republicans claim that Mr. Mil- | !dxdm will get around this by not qualifying for a grand juror. Both rarties are stili working hard for their tickets and it seems though the election Monday will be very close. It id the republican nominee for first selectman is ing every doubtful voter in town, i while the democratic nominee be- lieves with Wilson, that the office should seek the man, rather than the man the off and consequently is not doing much healing.

M. Wecht, He told of the system used in having the Chautauqua and after the meet- ing several affixed their names to a proposition to have an assemblage red by : with Mr. | Mueller was nominated ! to be a | as | here next summer. Mr. Wecht will canvass the town the next few days and if sufficient interest is aroused Berlin will be favored by many speakers of natianal reputation next summer. The Chautauqua is both educational and entertaining. It lasts five days and there are three events on each daily program. The national body teaches loyalty znd activity not only to the commu- but also to the state and coun- The younger generation is al- keen for the movement. A Junior town is formed among the youth of the places, mayor being elected and the younger element is ! taught the ideal and means of running a town. rom the response enthusiasm manifested at last night’s gathering, it is easy to see that ! this town will have a five-day Chau- | tsuqua next summer. On Long Trip, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Viets of Worth- | lugton Ridge have returned from | their summer vacation, which con- | sisted of a long automobile trip. They went from here to Albany and then a | &na i took a long automobile trip across the continent to Sioux City, Ia. They left the New York capital on Monday rrcrning and by riding from twelve to fourteen hours each day, they reached the western city on Saturday cvening at 9:30 o’clock.

Plainville News ITALIANS T0 TALK ON LIGENSE ISSUE Marino Calls Meeting to Be Held At HisaHome Tomorrow DOCTOR ALLOWED BUT §392 Effort Being Made to Spread Beliei Raids—Commissioners Cut Dr. Tan- ner’s Claim—May Nominate Gray. the Italian voters to take uUp the cudgel against license by using the raids on the homes of a number of their countrymen as a lever to pry them towards the opposition becan generally known today when a call was issued for a meeting of men -of that nationality to bc held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 at the home of Jo- seph Marino on Maple street. Leaders of the faction which IS re- sponsible for the proposed gathering have made no announcement as to the purpose of the meeting but it was the matter of throwing the Italian strength towards no-license is to be one of the principal topics of discus- sion, Italian citizens who were Aap- proached regarding the proposed ses- sion this morning were rather indif- ferent concerning it. They admitted having heard of a plan for a conclave but they declared that their country- men as a whole were not in sympathy with the mowement and that a very small number of them will attend. The so-called Italian vote has or- dinarily been figured as favorable to license and the “‘wets” expect to get it again this year. The scheme to change it to the “drys,” is is said, is built on the liquor raids of Sun- day, a report having been quietly cir- culated that the visit of the state po- lice was due to complaints made by the saloonkeepers. The Italian colony is wrought up over the wholesale arrests made by Chief Egan’s men and the subsequent convictions in court. The Italians contend that not more than two, and certainly less than four of the men arrested, have been making a business of selling at their homes and they feel that the others were unfairly treated by the authorities. Conse- quently if they learn who was respon- sible for the complaint, they are li- able to seek revenge. Some of the spokesmen for the Italians declared this morning that but little credence is given in the colony to the claim that the saloon- keepers were concerned in any way in the raids and tomorrow’s meeting will make no change in their vote. In fact they argued that the Italian vote will again be found with the ‘“Yes” ballots on election day. Advocates of no-license deny that they are responsible for the report spread among the Itallans. They de- clare that they had nothing to do with the state policemen’s visit and they have no information as to the source of complaints. May Nominate Cray. Delegates to the democratic conven- tion of the fifth senatorial district will meet in Southington tomorrow to nominate the party’s candidate for senator. Several names have been suggested In connection with the selection but that of James Cray, Bristol's former mayor, figures most prominently, Mr. Cray was said a week ago to be averse to making the run but it Was reported today that friends had pre- vailed upon him to accept the nom- ination, should it be tendered him. Local democrats figure Mr. Cray as thelr best bet. While the fifth dis- trict is strongly republican, and therc is admittedly but little chance for the democratic nominee for senator, fol- lowers of Wilson concede that the Bristol man would make a better showing at the polls than any other man who could be picked from among the names mentioned. Mr. would undoubtedly carry his own city by a substantial plurality and*would also run well in Plainville, He well known here and has many | friends would tender him a compli- mentary vote. 13 May Enter Carter. That Edward T. Carter will be en- tered in the race for the republican nomination for representative before the caucus next month is now gener- ally expected, although Mr. Carter himself has made no announcement concerning his attitude. Following Frank T. Wheeler's declaration that he would not consider accepting the nomination himself came the an- nouncement of the candidacy of Wil- liam J. Stmpson, who at the present time is alone in the field. The entrance of Mr. Carter would liven things up considerably. He !s izens and is recognized as one of the republican’s best vote-gette Simpson also has many loyal friends who would stick to him to the in a contest, Mr. Carter has represented town at two consecutive the legislature.
