" Gmwst Crowd Ever at T. A. " Fair—Briefs. In view of the extreme crisis be- tween $his country and Germany the ~meribers of Emma. Hart Willard sChapter, D. A. R, in common with Bther chapters throughout the United States, will adopt home preparedness measures and ‘will follow out the fol- 3 lowing recommendations just received from State Regent Elizabeth Barney Buell. * Chapter Regents and Members: The President of the United States ' has severed diplomatic relations -with LG ny. Our country stands for ey racy and liberty, for law, order ¢ the principles of humanity, for ~‘which our forefathers fought and our _foremothers worked and prayed. If we are called to the supreme sacrifices of war in their defence the Connec- tieut Daughters of the American Rev- _olution will be found in the forefront ot service for “Home and Country.” # 1t would be a slur upon their patriot- “ism to imagine otherwise. Home- “‘preparedness is the solemn duty of the hour. _Every chapter, state should be a ecenter n the prometion of preparedness, taking up that form of effort best suited to its opportunities. I therefore urge each "“a redouble its efforts to increase the ' ymembership of the American Red >Cross, sending as many names as pos- ble to our state chairman, Mrs. C. ¥. Robinson, 1161 Prospect Ave- mue, Hartford. I earnestly recommend, in addition, that each chapter regent appoint a ted Cross committee in her chapter thrgugh which it may co-operate with thé American Red Cross in response to the appeal just issued from Red Cr¥ss headquarters in Washington. Donations of money should be sent o our state treasurer, Miss Jennie F.oomis, Windsor, to be forwarded to * the American Red Cross. > !fle spirit of '76 bids us rally one "#add all, regardless of creed or part: to the support of the president, gladly and loyally upholding him in his stand for the honor of the nation, for the .defense of its citizens in the peace- ful exereise of their rights and for the ‘maintenance of humanity and civilization in the world.

Sullivan. Mr, O’Connell will. be in charge of the place until the Suit comles to trial or is otherwise settled. The Ropkins people boughty the place from the estate of Thomass G. Russell over a year ago, transferring the license and stock to Mr. Sullivan. That the latter has been in financial difficulties for some time has béen generally known and the action of the brewery in bringing suit occasioned but little surprise here. The cafe, when owned by Mr. Rus- sell, was regarded as one of the best paving liquor establishments in the town. Business fell off considerably, however, since the license changed hands and it has been known for months that Mr. Sullivan was experi- encing’ trouble in meeting his obliga- tions, * ' Negotlations for the sale of the place have been in progress from time to time but the deals all fell through. Only within a week was it reported that the saloon was soon to change hands. Mr, Sullivan admitted that he was negotiating with a pros- pective customer but the sale was held up hecause of a differerice over the price. Mr. O’Connell, placed in charge as keeper, is ameng those whose names have been mentioned in connection with the sale. He stated today, how- ever, that he is looking after the busi- ness only as representative of the deputy sheriff and not as a prospec- tive owner. Tear No Iicense. Fear of unfavorable action by the voters on the license question at the election next October seemingly has interfered to some extent with bids for Plainville saloons. It is generally ad- mitted that a hard drive is to be made by the temperance interests next fall and even among the license sup- porters there is a feeling that unless conditions change materially during the next few months the town will go “dry.” Alligned with the no-license workers this year will be Postmaster Peter J. Prior, who heretofore has been re- garded as a passive advocate of license, ‘With other anti-saloon workers he is already agltating a solar plexus blow for John Barleycorn and he makes no denial of his intentions to fight the liquor interests at the fall electlon.

With Willard Jackson, al negro waiter, Hightowell went on al rampage late in the evening and ter- rorized the accupants of the car to | such an extent that they dashed out into the snow, without taking even the time to dress. One of their number, Patrick Hurley, ran through the street wearing but a shirt, in search of officer, and was locked up for keeping. The darkeys were inclined to mini- | mize the trouble when they appeared in court any they claimed that the row had been exaggerated. Justice Prior, before whom they appeared, fined each of them $25 and costs, tacking on a thirty day sentence iIn addition. Jackson paid up and the jail penalty was suspended. The other occupants of the cells fol- lowing Thursday night’s “ceiebration” were glven hearings before Justice Condell. William McKenna and James Burns, charged with breach of the peace, were fined $5 and $2 re- spectively, with suspension of juds- ment on payvment of costs. Tn thei own defense they declared that all they dld was to ask Officer Marino for protection from the drink-crazed negroes and when he refused to visit the car to see what was the trouble they sald he was ‘“yellow” and a| coward, their arrest resulting. James Burns and John Carroll, also in court on intoxication charges, were allowed to go on payment of cos Hurley was acquitted on an intoxica- tion charge. And Still They Come, Thomas Lynch and John White are borders in the lock-up taday, Officers Marins and Downing having locked them up last night They are to be tried late this afternoon. Lynch got a whiff of gasoline as he was passing Cooke's g ge and he turned in, seemingly believing that the odor came from Plainville whiskey. He insisted that the place was a saloon and he refused to leave unless/| he was given a drink. When he | threatened to bre&k the window: complaint was made to Officer Marino and heiwas locked up. Constable Downing found White rambling around the streets in a badly jntoxicated condition and he took him into custody. Prior Wants Meeting Called. Disgusted with local conditions, evi- | dence of which is seen apout the | streets and in court almost every day. Postmaster Prior today discussed the advisability of asking for a special town meeting to consider appro- priating $1,000 to be used by the se- Jectman as fund to stop what he termed “outlawry” and others acts contrary to social uplift Mr. Prior claims Plainville harbors | crooks and gamblers of low calibre be- sides being a Mecca for floaters at- tracted here by the transfer station and he believes the town should take some action to protect law-abiding cit-- izens. It is understood that through him a petition for a special meeting may be in circulation within a few days. = Hear Interesting Talks.
