HAVING AN AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY FOR NEW BRITAIN YOU OAN DEFEND ON PROMPTLY RECEIVING ALL DRY GOODS PUROCMASED OF US Berlin News COLD FEET NO - EXCUSE FOR THEFT ~ Frank crowlay Fmed $7 or Steal- ing Pair of Shoes I GOES T0 COUNTY JAIL Mre, Lucy Hunt Dies at the Home of Her Sister Mrs. W, D. Lyons— . Beckley—Alling Case in Supreme Court Today, Frank Crowley, late af Boston, and until yesterday a resident of Hartford, pleaded guilty in the Berlin court this morning to the theft of a pair of shoes and was fined $7 without costs by Judge George G. Griswold. As Lrowley had no money with which to pay the fine he was taken to the Hart- ford county jail. The shoes belonged to one Anthony Devivo, who has been employed at the power house for the past ten daye, and were taken at <4 o'clock this morning, Jehn Ventres, a power house em- ‘ploye, was the first witness for the state and testified that he saw the man lying under the fcundation of No, 1 engine in the building. He said that “the shoes were beside the lockers and belonged to a new man that had only been at work for aboui ‘en days. When he found the man he asked to see the shoes and discovered that they were on Crowley's feet. He did not know what the man was doing in the power house, Orowley said that he was guilty and ‘had asked the Itallans if he could come in and get warm and they had put him beside one of the boilers. Later on he moved aver to the bench ©’clock, but owing to the fact that he took the shoes because his own ywere all worn and broken and afforded very little protection for his feet. ‘Where he was bound for he did not e€ay but he did claim to have worked in several of the hotels in Hartford and had worked his way to that city from Boston. The chief witness for the state, An- thony Devivo, failed to appear at 9 o’clock, btu owing to the fact that he had not been summoned by an officer he was not fined for contempt of eourt. It would seem that the power statlon is more or less troubled by knights of the road stopping off to warm themselves and as these gentle- men are omewhat of a bother to the ‘employes it is expected that the rail- road will soon take a hand in the matter and have a few of thn E mested. Berlin's one desire such men as these keep on * still insist night's lodzing here they will have to vay the cost.

The January term of the supreme court was opened in Hartford yester- day and as all assigned cases were reached the cases were assigned for the rest of the week. Of great in- terest to local people is the an- nouncement that the case of Judge ‘Willard I. Alling, acting first select- man, against Norman L. Beckley who wag declared elected by Judge P. Tuttle in superior court last October was to be called some time today. It will be remembered that Judge Alling was declared elected by the moderator at the recent town election QUIT MEAT WHEN BACK HURTS OR KIDNEYS BOTHER Uric Acid in meat Kidneys and irritates Bladder. Says clogs A Glass of Salts is Harmless way to flush Kidneys, says authority. If you must have your meat every day, eat -it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almosit paralyzes the the blood. ' They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the Kkidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before hreakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then This famous salts is made | the acid of grapes and lemon ice. combined ,with lithia, and has ! een used for gederations to flush and kidneys, he acids in urine ates, thus ending bladder neutr Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, and makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink. after there had been some question concerning the dllegality of several votes and after Mr. Beckley and Mr. Alling had been declared alternately to have been eleoted. The town offi- clals finally settled the question by de- claring Mr. Alling elected by two votes. The next step in the matter came when Mr. Beckley, d&emocratic candidate, appealed to the superior court on a recount.Judge Tuttle ruled that he should have been declared the winner. Judge Tuttle’s decision had to do with the marking of the “x" on the Australian ba.lluts as used in the election. Both men have been calm during the entire controversy and neither has exhibited the slightest indication of any ill feeling In the matter. Al- though "the superor court decision was aganst him Judge Alling refused to concede defeat and decided that he must be shown before admitting that he has been vanquished. Mr. Beckley has contented himgself with the taking of the oath of office since the decision of the superior court has since been playing second Mr. Alling has been officlating as first selectman and George B. Carter as second selectman has been doing the duties of office. Mr. Beckley in his “unofficial” capacity has been attend- ing board meetings, etc., despite the fact that the town government pro- vides for only two selectmen. Church News.

Ryder Succumbs to Pnen- monia After Illness ol Few Days DOUBLE FUNERAL FRIDAY Owmer of Ryder Trotting Park for Many Years—Grange Has Installa- tion — Firemen to Dine—Choir Guild to Present Plays—Briefs. Outliving his wife, who passed away early yesterday, by but a day, Sylves- ter N. Ryder, one of the town’s oldest and best known residents, succumbed to pneumonia at 6 o’clock this morn- ing at his home on Cook avenue, He had been critically 11l for a number of days and his death was not un- expected. Nevertheless because of the circumstances attending it caused genuine sorrow among his many friends. Obsequies for the aged couple will be held Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock at their hom¢ on Cook avenue. Rev. H. I Bodley, rector of St. Mark’s church in New Britain, will officiate. The interment will be in Fairview cemetery, New Britain. Mr. Rydar was a native of New Hartford where he was born eighty- seven years ago. He came to Plainville from Hartford ,where he spent his early life over a half century ago when he bought the. race track and hotel which bears his name. In those days Plainville had a state-wide reputation as a racing town. Many of the country’s greatest horses per- formed on the Ryder track and fol- lowers of the ponles came here in large numbers after the grand circuit matinees closed. The racing game was abandoned in this town but a few years after Mr. Ryder bought the property. Thé stables for a long time after were used for hoarding blooded stock and the horses worked out on the track. Most of the property on which -the course was located was sold to Charles Hart a few years ago, the Ryders retaining title to the hotel building in which they made their home. Mr. Ryder was himself a lover of horses and he had several good driv- ing horses for his own use. He was reported to have amassed consider- able ioney and he was retired from active business for a number’of years, devoting his time to his farm. He was held in high esteem in the com- unity in which he lived, and his pas- sing will be generally mourned. - Mr. Ryder was married three times. His first wif> was the daughter of the owner of Roberts’ opera house in Hartford, a famous playhouse in years gone by. He leaves no children, a sister, Mrs, Francis Cramer of Fair- view street, New Britaln, being the only surviving near relative. Trust Company Annual.
