Gmiswold. The complainant is Miss Viola Rakoski, who alleges that the defendant, after keeping company with her and gaining her confidence, promised to marry her and then be- trayed her. The accused admissions in cou Blso made somz¢ indjcate an at case the names yine other local young men. After shdrt hearing Judge Griswold bound Masselle over to the next term of the court of com- mon pleas in bonds of $1,000 which were furnished by his father, Tony Masselle. Untidy Oourt Room. Erom the looks of the court room in the Town hall a good pair of strong wrms and a broom are needed to put it into presentable shape. Anyone walking into the prace would think that several “smokers’” had been held there at various times and that each and everyone present had at some . time during their stay dropped all the matches, ashes and cigar stubs they ever owned. Certainly the room In 1t present condition is no place ta try a case even if anly men were to be present. It seems as if tho fectmen should efther hire someone to give the place a good cleaning or they should do it themselves and give the place that appcarance of dignity that all courts of law should have. The room is used at different times by the school board and any other com- mittee or board that holds a meeting in regard to the business of the town. If a janitor had charge of the place there would be a clean room the morning following any sort of a meet- ing which would be all that could be acked. iriorning, but ‘s that might ring into the a Acorns Defeated For the first time this the some damaging |’ star game for the home boys and much credit is due them for their splendid work, It is expected that some kind of game will be arranged for Thanksgiving morning and a good | crowd will be looked for, Foresters’ Dance.

One of the finest old elms on Ber- lin street will soon be a thing of the | past, as Selectman Alling has decided | to cut it down. The tree is a very fine old elm, but the trunk has started to | split and there is danger that during a heavy gale of wind it will drop acr the road or upon a nearby house. The elm stands in front of the Congregational church parsonage and this morning was ‘inspected by Tree Inspector Shepherd, who decid- ed that it had better come down.

NEW CONGRESSMAN SEES WASHINGTON FROM AN AIRPLAN £ CONGRESSMAN-ELECT BLERKLEY? IN REROPLANE Representative Blect O. D. Bleakley of Franklin, Pa., made a spectacular entry into the national capital, flying from Philadelphia in his new ninety horsepower aeroplane. He was in the air three hours and landed in the shadow of the Washington monu- ment. Mr. Bleakley was driven by his “chauffeur’—as he calls him—Ser- geant William C. Ocker of the United States aviation corps. Mr. Bleakley said he was convinced that flying is a safer means of travel than autoing and that this would be conclusively proved within a decade. On the side he wanted to try an aero- plane stablizer which a friend had recommended to him-. “I never rode in an aeroplane be-« fore,” said he, ‘‘save for a short trial flight several weeks ago. I am hence- forth for flying. I believe aerial navi- gation is to be the coming thing. “The stabilizer worked immensely and kept us on an even keel all tho way. We made the ‘Washington-Bal- timore run in about twenty-five min- utes. Our maximum height, our aerostat told us, was about 6,000 feet. A MISS BROOKS GIVES UP TEAGHER’S PLACE Popular Member of Principal Judd’s Force Resigns TAKES POSITION IN OFFICE School Board Surprised—Mrs. H. .L. Selectman May Make Telephone Company Fight for Permit—Briefs. Miss Abbie Brooks, in point of rvice one of the oldest members of the force in the local schools, severed her connection with Principal O. L. Judd’s staff and it is under- stood will give up teaching. It was said today she has accepted a posi- tion in the Stanley Works office in New Britain. Miss Brooks’ resignation, which was presented Friday taking effect at once, has caused considerable sur- prise in town. It was entirely unex- pected. In fact Rev. R. H. Burton, chairman of the schoel board, had no knowledge of it this morning al- though the secretary, A. L. Rogers knew of the change. Miss Brooks' place as teacher in the second grade will be flled, tem- porarily at least, by Mrs. Harold L. Newell, who will probably serve until the close of the term, Regarded as one of the most ef- ficient members of the teaching staff, Miss Brooks’ decision to leave will cause considerable regret among members of the school board and the public in general. She had been a teacher here for nearly a decade and her work was of excellent character. The vacancy caused by her resig- nation will not be permanently filled until after the school board formally orgamizes. The committee has not as vet elected officers, the members de- iaying action untii a successor to John E. Garrity is named. Difficulty is being encountered in making a cholce as the board is seeking a man who is willing to look after the sec- retarial work in addition to the duties of member A. L. Rogers, the present secretary, being anxious to be relieved of the care of the position. Johnson May Fight While Contractor E T. Ley’s trench diggers continued their activities to- day in connection with the making of excavations for the telephone com- pany’s conduits which are to be laid on West Main street and Central Square, they have not as yet been given permission to resume tearing up the amiesite in front of the Russell préperty, the error of Saturday which will make a second trench necessary, having caused Selectman Johnson to revoke the permit originally issued for the improvement. Seemingly through carelessness on the part of someone connected with the change the first trenoch was dug in a wrong location, the laborers strik- ing the pipe of the Bristol Gas com- pany. Mr. Johnson became annoyed at the failure of the company to see that the pavement was not unneces- sarily damaged and he ordered them to stop work in the section where the trouble was caused. This morning Mr. Johnson told a Herald man that he has not definftely made up his mind as to what action to take, although he admitted that he was thinking of fighting the efforts of the company to rip up the pavement in another location. Plan Union Services. Rev. W. A. Goodell is making preparations for Union Thanksgiving services to be conducted in the Methodist church Wednesday evening at 7:45. The pastor will give the scrmon. Services scheduled for Wednesday night in other Protestant churches will be omitted, the members uniting has iu the exercise held under Methodist auspioes. Typhoid Patients Very Il Practically no change is reported in the condition of Mary and Rosario Pettinato of Plerce street, both of whom are in St. Francis' hospital suf- fering from typhoid fever. The at- tending physicians are hopeful for the recovery of the young people. ‘William Hirsch of Mountain View, who is also ill with the disease, is in a critical condition. His removal to the hospital has been advised by physicians although he still remains at home. Lloyd Edwards, who had been ill for a few days at Miss Dwelley's boarding house on West Main street, is now a patient at the Hartford hos- pital. He has shown symptoms of typhoid and it is feared that the dis- ease is developing. Bride-Elect Showered. Frieads of Miss Alice O'Hara ten- dered her a miscellaneous shower Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. William Foran on Pine street. The young lady received a number of use- ful gifts. Miss O’Hara is to become the bride of George Harman Carlson Wednes- day morning, the ceremony to be performed at the parochial residence of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy The couple will spend their honey- moon in New York'and vieinity, re- siding on Pine street on their re- turn.
