'HASK'T DROPPED A BIT Migh Cost of Living Continues to Speed Along at & Calm Pace fn the Hardware City. New Britain is not interested in the th cost of living. Or at least it is interested in reducing it. Whether ! s because New Britain.is so finan- clally situated that it can afford the "~ Juxuries of real onions on its beef- 5 is not known. At any rate the % z::nhnu at the meeting in Hanna's Sy Bail last evening at whiclr an aseault #n ‘masse was to be made on prices i’ Was such as to cause plutocrats and JR #peculators to chuckle. : 4No one knows who was supporting the movement to reduce the cost of . Siving. That was a deep secret, as clodely guarded as the solution to that international mystery ‘‘Who the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s i Chowder?” The hour for the meeting pproached but it was all alone. That n't quite trueeither, as there were two reporters present. To fill in the b ground four or five others idribbled into the hall in Indian file ‘and. individually but no one seemed ‘4o know just what it was all about. .+ The assault on the high cost of liv- was never made. Whether the 18 of those in charge went awry or ther they had been bought off promises of genuine potatoes is From some mysterious ¥ o) in form to those issueéd by the offices in Europe, found its way. 0 the Herald office today. e & Come in and- Hartford, and “Joseph Burns,” sales- man for the United Tire company, aged 26, of Worthington streef, Springfield, three members of the party were fined $5 and costs each for improper conduct. Their real names would have béen a mystery had they ment of court, the financial assistarice arrived with & hur- riedly-awakened friend who inquired for George Fox, Wiliam Fitsgerald dnd Joseph Brennan. He kmew of no “Fords” and “Burns” among his list . of . moquaintances. After figuring and ‘scraping together .of 'billy and:loose.change the finés and costs were raised. “Maud DeLong,” aged 19 and “Bels ma Baker”,. aged 18, both of 38 Buckingham street, Hartford, an giving thelr occupation’as -telephgne opera in the Hartford were turned over to Miss - Hisie Osborn, probatipn officer, with arders |’ ‘w give them into the custody, of th ‘Hartford probation authorities.

It was testified that the five met on Asylum street last night after the sirls got' through work and hired a taxi for a trip to New Britain. The male members of the party admitted that they had had someéthing to drink. They pleaded, guilty and con- tended that their fair companions and the hotel'were not to blame, although admitting that they had no itrouble and questions were not ‘asked when they applied for rooms at the Bro! son after being .refused = admittance at.a place on "Church sireet, an- ‘other on Lafayette street and another on Myrtle street. b The girls: were assigned to roomy 18 and the men to. room 19.

Cor- bin division of the American Hard- ‘ware ‘torporatién, 'Pasquale Travalia of 100 Cherry street was “fined $100 and costs.’ Proseouting Attorney ‘George W. Kiett said that the articles stolén Would amount to more than the figure set but had been p! Jat $49 s0 as to come within the furis- diction of the lacal' court. Attorney Wiliam F» Mangan apj for the defense, pleaded for leniency because of the prisoner’s wife and three, chil- one observation: 3 18 ~ showed’ no tence was imposed. Judge Meskill said that the family was the only thing that saved the accused from a jail sentence but that he was in fa- vor of a maximum fine so as to teach a lesson for - the accused and other employes of fagtories who, undoubt- edly, cause a heavy loss to their em- ployers by eystematic thefts. The arrest was made by - Detective ' Ser- geant Samuel Bamforth. . Admits Non-Support. Georgé Robinson, giving the Hotel DeVille as his address, was again in court charged < with ‘ non-support of much, | cused being refiiséd liquor in one =a- loon because of his age. He had pre- viously testified that he had obtained several drinks in other places. George Lukasawich of 35 Star street, arrested by Policemen Willilam P. McCue and George Ellinger charged with injury to private prop- erty was discharged, it being testified that others with whom he was in a scuffle were as much responsible "as.| the accused. Louis Parrott of 545 Main street, Hilttford, dedoribed Robert Blair . of 444 Windsor avenue, Hartford, fore- man of a gang for the' "American [ Telegraph and Telephone company, as a meodern Simon Legree and com- Plaiged, of having been assaulted by the latter .on Commonwealth avenue day when he was a member of "the gang in‘ charge of Blair. He ad- mitted that he had a few dtinks of gin before going to work that morn- ing, that Blair smelled his breath and became ‘indignant. He further testi: fled that Blair became abusive when he was unable to dig a hole through frozen edrth, gave him his car fare back to Hartford and then assaulted him, hitting him severdl times when he was p te. He showed a ‘bruised head to substantiate the claim. Blair claimed that Parrott was so iptoxicated that he fell ‘Rown while carrying: tools, scraped:his head and swore in such a manner in the pres-: ence of women as would make a “sea Plrate . shudder.” . In response to Questiohing ‘of Prosecuting Attorrey Klett, he admitted that he knew Par- rott had been drinking but thought that it would work off after he had Aug a few holes for a time. Instead of getting better, he #31d, Parrott got more incapable for work. A fine of $10 and costs was imposed while Par- Tott was freed . from intoxication charges, advised to &o home and look not upon liquor when it floweth. nrs::fl“ su.:kewlcz of 141° Oak on probation for non-support, has observed one regulation prop- erly, it was testified, but insisted upon reporting to Probation Officer Edward C.

He was in that condition Saturday night, ‘when he reported to Mr. Connolly, the latter fearing that he would fall and injure himself so he escorted the accused to. a cell. Ten days in jail were imposed with pro- 'bation revoked. - Father Against Son. Father testifying against son and appearing as the complaining witness Was the ‘unusual sight in the ar- raijgnment of Edward Jones of 149 Clark street, charged with breach of the peace and intoxication. Alfred Jones testified that he had put up with his son as long as he could, said that the accused refused to work, had acquired the liquor habit and caused much disturbance at home. .

He did not but, re- turning and finding the door locked inst him, climed on the veranda id broke a pane of glass to gain ission. Policeman James Mc- ‘wid Ccalled. The eldér ~Jones said that he only wanted his son to keep away from the house. The ac- cused appeared to realize his plight and said that what his father sald was the truth. Judge Meskill said that he would give him a chance to go get a job and work out his own salvation. A jail sentence of sixty days with suspended judgment pend- ing gopd behavior was Because one of the accused, John O'Rega, is at New Britain General hospital with a badly bitten nose, hearing of breach, of the peace charges against him, Joseph Niemis of 98 North street, John Paclorek of the samre address and Daniel Billy was continued until Saturday. At- torney J.‘A. Glover, appeared for Nie- mis. ' Policeman James McCabe made the arrests, being attracted by the sound of a rumpus. He . found the four, each holding a chalr, striking at each other.

Mrs. ‘Robinson pitifully ‘explained that she hdd received aid from'the city and her grandmother.- Judge Meskill informed the accused that'one chance would be given the accused to go out and get a job or.a job. would be provided for him that wquld not be as enjoy- able or give as much freedom as one that he.can undoubtedly get himself. He was ordered to report to Probation Officer Edward C. Connolly next Mon- day and give an account of his con- duct, 3 Joseph McDermott of 107 Tremont street and Attorney Daniel E.

M ott admitted that he had had a number of drinks but did not think that he was intoxicated. Attorney O’Keefe questioned Policeman Charles Johnson’s testimony that McDermott was intoxicated, when arrested. This matter was clinched ‘when Police Chief Willlam J. Rawlings, who was at the booking desk, characterized drunk.” Judge Meskill said that be- cause relatives of the accused had Pleaded- for leniency he would ajlow unity for reformation.
