Interest in the probable solution of the police problem is expected to at- tract a large number of voters to the Town hall this evening when a special town meeting will be held to consider action on the matter of patrolling the streets at night and to_decide on the advisability of appropriating $5,700 for use in laying amiesite pave- ment on Whiting street. Heretofore the police question has caused lively debates at town meetings owing to a difference of opinion as to the personnel of the force. At the present time there ap- pears to be a unanimity of feeling favorable to having an officer on duty every night, especially while the rail- road's transfer station is maintained is proving so Sentiment some here and the town popular with transients. as expressed on the streets would in- dicate that the meeting will at least encourage the selectmen to appoint an officer to serve regularly. There is liable to be some difference over the question as to whether a local or out-of-town man should be named and the salary the patrolman should receive. The railroad’s suggestion for the employment of an officer who would serve as watchman at the freight yards in addition to his police duties at center will be taken into consideration in connection with the discussion of the question. The rail- road officials seem wiiling to bear part of the expense and if satisfactory at- rangements can be made it is prob- able that the selectmen will be in- structed to take the steps nec ary to consummate the agreement, Constable P’hilip Marino continues on duty every night under orders of the selectmen. He has not been per- manently appointed and his fate will @epend largely on the action taken by tonight’s meeting. Little enthusiasm has been created by the suggestion of Commissioner Bennett that the town join with the state and Connecticut company in ex- tending the perinanent pavement. l The expense of approximately $5,700 would be entailed should the town agree to have the amiesite extended from curb to curb on the street. . The amount of money volved is generally believed to be too large to warrant favorable action hy the meeting and it is expected that the proposition will be rejected. Garage Burglarized. Cooke’s garage on East Main street, was entered by burglars about 2 o'clock. this morning, the visitors emptying the cash register of the money it contained. According to W. L. Cooke, the owner, the amount taken was not large. Nothing except the cash was disturbed, he reported today. The burglars evidently gained en- trance to the.place by breaking a window. The theft was evidently committed about 2 o'clock at a time when the night man was out with a livery car. The job was probably done by someone familiar with the place and nof ignorant of the move- ments of the man in charge. Local Team Loses. Although they put up a stubborn fight against great odds, the basket- ball team representing the Plainville Young Men’s club went down to de- feat before the Sagamores of New Britain last evening by a score of 20 to 18. The visitors were heavier than the local boys and were more ex- perienced players. Nevertheless Cap- tain Hird and his followers gave them a hard tussle and made a most cred- itable showing. After the game dancing was en- joyed. The attendance was fair. Manager Ahlquist said this morn- ing that he has not as yet arranged for a game next week. As the club is to give an entertainment on Tues- day night, it is possible that the weekly basketball exhibition will be omitted. Fear Typhoid Outbreak. While the physicians are unwilling to create any undue alarm, it is re- ported that they are growing anxious over the possibilities of an outbreak of typhoid fever in town. A few cases of illness that are under their ob- servation, it is said, indicate the presence of typhoid, although none of them have developed sufficiently to permit of a positive diagnosis. Among the patients whose condition is causing serious worry is Miss Mary Petnato of Plerce street. The young lady has been seriously ill for several days and is now under the care of a specialist in additicn to the family doctor. The physicians fear that she is suffering from typhoid fever, although they are not yet prepared to diagnose the disease from which she is suffering. In other sections of the town there are also rcports of typhoid symptoms in patients who are under the care of physicians, Molumphy Goes to Jail. David Molumphy was taken to the Hartford jail last evening by Con- stable Marino following a hearing be- 16, 19186. fore Justice C. H. Calor.

In court yesterday he claimed that he had reported here in an effort to pay the money, but, could not find any of the officials.

SANGER IN AGAIN Exponent of Birth Control Declares She is Not Such a nisance .As Those Horrid Policemen, New York, Nov. 16.—Patrolman Barney Boylan's rubber-heeled stride carried him noiselessly through the discretely curtained doorway at 46 Amboy street, Brooklyn, vesterday. The policeman edged his way through a group of women, who suddenly suffered a mild stroke of panic and made for the exit, and he placed under arrest Mrs, Margaret Sanger, birth control exponent. “How interesting,” commented Mrs. Sanger, when the patrolman Tead the warrant, which charged her with maintaining a public nuisance and giving oral advice on her pet subject. “Will it be necessary to call the wagon this time, Mrs. Sanger?” in- quired Boylan, who seemed anxious to please. “No I will walk ta the station and you may follow a few paces in the rear.” o When Mrs, Sanger was arrested on October 26 she put up such a protest that detectives summoned the patrol wagon, Mrs, Sanger was taken before Magistrate Dodd, in the New Jersey Avenue court, and he set her hearing for November 17. She was released on the bond she provided last month. Maintaining a public nuisance is an 0dd charge,” commented Mrs. Sanger, “To myimind these policemen are the biggest nuisances in the neighbar- hood.” From the courtroom Mrs. Sanger returned to her clinlc and remained until 5 p. m. Business was dull the rest of the day, hawever, but the fol- lowing notice remains in one of the windows: “Come in and register vour protest against the law which prevents vou from controlling the size of vour family.” WANTS ACTING ENSIGNS.

Amsterdam, Nov. 16, via London, 9:42 a. m.—The Cologne Gazette com- menting on the British reply to the American note regarding blacklists, says: “Everything remains as before England Is mistress of the sea and whoever wants to carry on commerce can do so only with her permission and under her supervision. Is not this navalism a thousand times more complete and more oppressive than anything German militarism—- which really does not exist—is supposed to represent?’” The Gazette attacks Viscount Grey for mentioning submarine warfare as a justification for Rritish predatory war. ‘“We arc treating vessels,” it says, “‘exactly in accord with interna- tional law. The fact we sink them is solely the fault of England who has marked nearly everything as contra- band.
