NEW BRITAIN YOU OCAN DEPIND ON DRY GOODS PURCHMASED OF U& BILLY SUNDAY AS SEEN BY GRAWFORD Boys’ Club Superintendent to Re- L late Impression in Boston i Bspecially timely and of more than rdinary interest, tomorrow night’s ce at the People’s church on urt street promises to be largely ttended, both because of the topic and speaker selected to present it. Robert H. Crawford, superintendent New Britain Boys' club, whose dership and upbuilding of the Con- gregational church at Salem, this state, is one of the notable epochs in f the state's religious life, will give his gbservations of Billy Sunday, experi- ,, ences at the Boston revival and re- i sults noted. Superintendent Crawford 18 a speaker of more than ordinary abllity and always has a message that Is profitable to yolng and old. He had the honor of giving the closing prayer at the Boston tabernacle at the evening service of the Sunday re- val last Sunday. | Many are not aware that Superin- tendent Crawford, while busily en- " gaged with his work locally, found Hme to minister to the Salem church with such success that the work was widely commented upon and won high ~praise from religious leaders like Supt. geligious leaders like Superintendent Sherrod Soule of the Missionary So- . clety from Connecticut, Rev. Henry W. Maier of the First Congregational | ‘thurch and Rev. Dr. George W. C.! Il-of the Second Congregational | the Salem the per- interest in largely due to magnetism of Mr. Crawford. | t is a church where all are wel-| orned to the varied privileges of wor- | ship and service, a custom in vogue i since the church was established nearly 190 vears ago. The present church building was built in 1837-38. During the past two vears, largel b _through the ministrations of Mr. | “Brawford, who was the minister until | November 1915 preaching two ser- ons each Sunday, has renewed & 1 activitics in the field where it is focated, cffecting the energetic zeal . and integrity of the minister. ¥ When Mr. Crawford accepted the appointment to the church as minis- . ter he aiready had the position of " gistant’ superintendent of the local L 'Boye' club. He found the church in ‘s most unsatisfacio condition, in ‘¢aGt so much so that the ringing of " the church bell had been discontinued on account of its unsafe position in £ the belfry. But a short time after he ; § begap work the ringing of the bell as resumed and the parish began to ow much greater activities than Sever before, i Hardly had he 1 of began to preach en he opened a campaign for Eafldances and a substantial sum was fealized. Not only did he scck dona- gons from the few parishioners of | the state but from throughout the ; gstate with the result that he secured 4$1;321.81 for the work that he had | hand. This, and a little more, was | lexpended in carrying out his plan of | jmprovement to the proporty. The ‘total expended was $1,336.36, the i¢gnds not subscribed having been uded by the minister from his salar \whi¢h was $800 a yvear. He found it _possible to do this from the fact | people. that his New Britain position netted him nearly twice as much as the po- sition in Salem During the year 1915 the church was put in an excellent condition, the stone foundation, which was all but falling down was rebuilt new steel walls and ceiling were placed in the church building, & new carpet laid and ' new lighting system installed. The parsonage was painted exterior- 1y. The new lighting system included a cluster of six lamps in the center of the church, two lamps on the sides of the pulpit and two added to the sides of the building. Mr. Crawford relinquished his pas- toral duties in November, 1915. Among the state-wide contributors to the fund raising during the service was $52 from New Britain people. Through the solicitation of Mr. Crawford and the generosity of Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yale and Prof. Bela L. Pratt of Boston, the famous sculptor, who have farms in Salem, the latter owning Music Vale semin- ary, where was the first normal academy of mrusic in the United States who each gave $500, thes® was in- stituted a public library in the par- sonage. The boys and girls can as- semble there three nights a week and Saturday afternoons to read the many good volumes. The parsonage was not occupied by Mr. Crawford during his work, his home Being in New Brit- ain during the week. He was accus- tomed to go to his parish Saturdays and remain over Sunday. The New Britain “Rilly Sunday Special” steamed out of the local sta- tion at 9:10 o’clock with two cars of the flve which made -up the special train comfortably filled with local At Hartford enough others boarded the train so that all cars were comfortably filled. Many of the local people carried their noon- day lunches with them in order to eat on the train- and economize on time in the Hub. REPAIRS COST $22,000 Strengthening of Prevocational Gram- mar School Foundation Much More Expensive The total expenses connected with | the repairs to the foundation of the Prevocational Grammar school, which settled dangerously after the structure was completed, are a little in excess of $22,000, according to a re- port by Treasurer L. Hoyt Pease to the school committee. At the time last spring when it was | learned that repairs would have to be made cn the foundation to render the bui the cost wouid be about $8,000. Architect W. P. Crabtree, who had prepared the plans for the school when it was built, appeared before the school committee and made an of- fer to stand 33,000 of the repair ex- | pense, the estimate being $8,000. The architect’s provision was that the school board should not expend the entire amount which it had then ap- propriated for repair purposes. At a meeting yesterday the finance com- mittee was instructed to-ask for a transfer of funds to cover the total | expenses. ‘What part play in a been settl % school Comit “rchitect Crabtree will adjustment has not the present time the 2 owes Mr. Crabtree a bill for s, ces, but payment on this bill has’ m temporarily held up pending po,ibfe adjustments of the Prevocationg} sechool difficulty. ¥ Berlin News C. M. JARVIS HEAD OF COUNTY LEAGUE Blected at Annual Meeting Held in Hartiord Yesterday V. H: WEBSTER A DIRECTOR Funeral of BEdward Garrity Will Be Than At First Estimated. | Held Monday Morning From St. Paul’s—Sunday in the Churches— Salesman Falls and Strains Hip. The annual meeting of the Hart- ford County league was held in the assembly rooms of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce yesterday and at noon the members adjourned to the Hotel Garde for luncheon. Colonel Charles M. Jarvis was elected presi- dent to succeed F. H. Stadtmueller of Elmwood who declined to serve an- other term in that office, but took the position of treasurer. After the busi- ness session a short address was given by M. C. Burritt, an agricultural ex- pert from Cornell university. In his address Mr. Burritt urged putting the agricultural educational effort on an organized self help basis. The farm movement is of interest to the whole people and not merely the farmers. The food supply of a nation depends ubon the, conservation and develcpment and therefore agriculture is an industry fundamental to the wel- fare of the whole population. In re- gard to the farm bureau Mr. Burritt said that it must be organized as a biece of work fundamental to the wel- fare of the whole population and not as a class benefit. Farmers must as- sume financial and moral responsibil- ity for the enterprise and manage it. In his report County Agent Walter A. Cook said that the need of a mar- keting scheme has been sufficiently | discussed that what is now needed is definite action along some well | planned course. John D. Willard, sec- retary of the Franklin county (Mass.) farm bureau talked on ‘“What a Sec- retary Means to County Organization’” and H. D. Storrs spoke on ‘“County Agent Work in Connecticut.” W. H. ‘Webster of Berlin was elected & mem- ber of the local directors. ding safe it was estimated that ' ° Garrity Funeral Monday. .

Farnsdaugh, a salesman for a New York concern, fell and strained his hip while trying to board a New York train at the passenger station vesterday afternoon. Mr. Farnsdaugh was carrying several heavy suit cases and whether he tried to swing one aboard or the train started to move and threw him is not known. Dr. R. M. Griswold was called and found the man suffering with a strained hip, and at once had him taken to the New Britain hospital. At the hospital Dr. M. H. Griswold bandaged the strain and the man went on his way to New York. Married at Parsonage. Rev. J. C. Brennan officiated at the marriage ceremony of Miss Mary V. Pollard of East Berlin and Edward H.

Plainville News CONSTABLE FINDS SALERNO RATIONAL { Murderer “Seems Sane When Ac- cepting Service of Papers APPLIES FOR CONSERVATOR Wife Slayer Shows Intelligence in Conversation—Asks About Friends But Avoids Mention of Murder— School Board May Seck Advice, Exhibiting no traces of insanity dis- cernable to a layman, although the doctors pronounce him to be mentally deficient, Joseph Salerno, whose com- mitment to the State Hospital for In- sane at Middletown, was ordered by the superior court before which he was to be tried for the murder of his wife, yesterday afternoon accepted service of papers concerning the ap- plication for the appointment of a conservator over him. The petition will be considered by the probaté court on January 25 and complying with the usual formalities, Constable Philip Marino went to the asylum Yyesterday to serve papers drawn up by Judge Byington. Salerno was well acquainted by Officer Marino and yesterday he talked with him for some time al- though he avoided mention of the crime which resulted in his arrest. ‘The officer noticed nothing irrational in his conversation and as far as he could observe the man’s condition was normal. Salerno had no complaint to make regarding his incarceration and displayed mo great interest in himself although he made numerous inquiries regarding his friends. Under the order of the superior court the murderer will be kept in the asylum until he recovers his rea- son when he will be brought before a jury to be tried on the indictment returned against him @n Detember. 8hould it be decided that he was in-; sane at the time of the killing his ac- quittal would be ordered and. he would regain his freedom. Doctors who have observed him, however, declare that he is a para- noiac and cannot be cured. They be- lieve he will spend the remainder of his days in the institution. Salerno owns household furnishings and has about $75 in cash. Although the value of his estate is.but small it is necessary for the probate court to name a conservator to serve over him before it can be comrverted into cash. The man’s brother-in-law will probably be appointed in this ca- pacity. . May Get Legal Advice. ‘While the members have not in- timated what course they will pursue, it is expected that the school board will seek legal advice before taking any action regarding the awarding of contracts for the construction of an addition to the brick schoolhouse on Broad street for which $17,000 was appropriated at the recent special town meeting. The resolution as held by the town clerk for record is crudely drawn and as no mention is made of the officials who are to look after the work, there is a question as to whether the school board has the authority to take the initiative. The resolution was put through in a hurry. Tt was introduced after the prospects of having any additional school room had seemingly vanished and but little time could be spent in its preparation. Certain features usually authorizing such an expenditure were omitted and the voters neglected to attend to them before the meeting was adjourned. The resolution reads that the town appropriate $17,000 for the erection of a four room addition in the rear street, two rooms to be equipped, and that 3 tax of four mills be laid to partly cover thegappropriation. It has been pointed out that the school board has full control of mat- ters appertaining to schools, except in the purchase of land and the erec- tion of buildings. The voters have disposition of these improvements. The argument has been advanced, however, that as the board has the authority to rent room to provide bet- ter accommodations for the children, they have the right to construct the addition, in view of the fact that the voters have appropriated the money necessary to pay the expenses. The point apparently one on which lega)] advice is desirable, par- ticularly in view of the fact that con- tractors are anxious to have the prop- er formalities complied with they agree to do the work in order that nothing will stand in the way of their receiving pay for their services. The four mill tax laid by the meet- ing is causing the town clerk and tax collector some anxiety owing to the fact that they are not certain whether it should be billed with the genera] tax or as a special assess- ment. The meeting neglected to incorporated in a resolution 1 of the brick school house on Broad { before | 1 specify what they shculd do reg;\rd«i ing the matter. | Fearing that an effort might pos- sibly be made to rescind the should the citizens be brought to- gether again to straighten out the tangle advocates of the improvement are not anxious to have a special meeting called to correct the omis- sions from the original resolution. Counsel will probably be approached by the school board with a view of giving the proposition its proper legal Vote status, Couldn’t Pay Fines. Michael Howard, James Shay and John Sullivan, arrested vesterday by Constable Downing and Railroad Of- ficer Grace, were each fined $1 and | costs on charges of intoxication pre- ferred against them before Justice E. P. Prior last evening. They were unable to pay and all were taken to jall to work out the assessment. Sullivan and Shay were arrested in the morning when they attempted to | force an entrance to Charles F. Mec- Call's saloon, the door having heen locked on.them because of their con- dition. Howard got into the toils later in the day. He had been before Justice Condell on an intoxication charge a few weeks ago and had been | let go, a sentence of thirty days in Jail having been suspended with the warning that it would be put into effect should he be arrested again. Justice Prior was not familiar with this phase of the case until after the hearing and as a result Howard got off as easy as his companions. Sunday in Churches. Advent Christian—Morning servict at 10:45. Sermon by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Denton on' the subject, “The Soul's Need of God.” Sunday school will follow.

(Ted) Meredith, the world’s est middle distance runner is s time will arrange for the hearings to be held on ‘subsequent dates. Property values took a substantial rise during the year, judging from the quotations given by taxpayers ap- proached by prospective buyers; Nev- ertheless those who received motices of incrpases from the ' assessors are dissatidfled for the most part. They apparently believe they have been dis- criminated against and they will probably seek abatements from the board of relief. They consider that in getting a raise from the assessors and at the same time being forced to pay the special tax they are hit doub- ly hard. Brief Items. Several Plainville people. reported today having felt the shock of the explosion in Newark last evening. Miss Harriett Hird entertained the members of the O. W. B. G. club at "her home last evening. State Policeman Brooks and Mitchell who arrested Louis Conforti Thurs- day night for allowing a “punch board” to be operated in his . store, were in town again last evening. They visited some of the stores presumably in search of gambling devices but seemingly found no evidence of law violations. The condition of Mrs. Thomas Tay- lor, who is ill at her home on Wash- ington street, was reported to be more favorable today. Cards have been received from Mrs. James Kenealy, who is visiting in the South. Mrs. Kenealy is on her way to Mins, Florida, where she will spend the balance of the winter with friends.
