AT NIGHT SCHOOL |Class of Forty-Four Graduated from Grammar School Forty-four members of the class of 1917, New Britain Evening School, re- celved diplomas at graduation exer- cises last night at Grammar school hall. The diplomas were awarded by Attorney Henry P. Roche, chairman of the evening achool committee of the board of education. The hall was nearly filled with parents and friends of the graduates. President’s Address, The addresg of the class president, Michael Maietta, follows: “In behalf of the class graduating tonight I extend to you a hearty wel- come. Your presence here proves your interest in our welfare and is gratifying to us. z “We hope the class of 1917 will prove worthy of the opportunity of- fered it and that the foundation of an education which has besn.. ' lald here, will encourage us to k a higher degree of development. May it prove the foundation of strong characters, that shall not only insure our own success in life, but shall also contribute to the welfare of the com- munity, state and nation, which so generously provides an education for its citizens. This education is pro- vided not only for those who may at-’ tend the regular day school but also for those who are demied that priv- { tlege, and must work as well as learn. “We recognize that since our exer- cises here tonight end our school work, we face & greater work, before us. The responsibilities are greater and the problems grow more difficult, ‘but we face the future with confi- dence. “Before leaving, however, we wish ! to thank our teachers for their faith- }tul efforts, in our behalf. If we have { failed to méasure up to our opportu- nities as stydents, the fault is not theirs. To Mr. French also, who has - spared no labor to make this ypar profitable to us, we extend our thanks, and in closing let me express our heartfelt gratitude to the board of education, which has made possible the education otherwise beyond our reach. “Once more, I bid you welcome, in the name of the class.” Program of Exercises, ‘The program of exercises was as Michael ‘Maietta Juanita ... .+..

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, GIND THIEF CAUGHT. Is Committed to School at Mid- dletown. Brazenly walking into pelice head- quarters last night with the demaad that detrimental reports as to her conduct be contradicted, Antonia Ko- makowski, aged about thirtesn, of 16 Orange street was taken into custody on charges of wholesale thefts from numerous local stores. This morning before Judge James T\ Meskill in chambers, she was com- mitted to the State School For Girls at Middletown and was taken to that | institution in charge of Miss Elsie C. Osborn, probation officer. Talking in & manner much more than her age and appearance would indicate, she answered the questions of the authorities in a matter-of-fact ‘Waists, skirts, wearing ap- parel and other matetrial, .alleged to have been stolen from - the stores were recovered and used as evidence. She was not found at home yester- day, the authorities being ' informed that she left early and was about the city somewhere. A note came into the possession of the authorities dur- ing the day, apparently written by a person of immature years, purport- ing to give information that Antonia could be found at Sunset Rock. In- vestigation indicated that the note was a hoax. Her whereabouts were not deterniined until' she voluntarily vis- . ited police headquarters. . —_— LUTHERAN CONFIRMATION.

Suspicious sounds about 62 Haw- king street shortly before midnight last night made the occupants fear the operations of burglars and a call for aid was sent to Capt. T. W. Grace at police headquarters. Sergeant Theodore Johnson with Policemen Gustav Hellberg and Willlam P. Mc- Cue were hurried to the .scene but ‘were unable to discover signs of tres- passers. NO TRICK TO LIFT A CORN RIGHT OUT Says . there -is no excuse for cut- ting corns and inviting lockjaw. Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can harmiessly be Hfted right out with the fingers if you will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincin- nat! authority. It is claimed that at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of frees- one at any drug store, which is suff- cient to rid one’s feet of every corn or callous without pain or soreness or the danger of infection. This simple drug, while sticky, dries the moment it is applied and does not inflame or even irritate the surround- ing tissue. This announcement will interest many women here, for it is said that .the present high-heel footwear is put- ting corns on practically every wo- man's ‘feet. “The Little Grey Lady,” theater. .

Any sympathy possessed authorities for Mrs. Hilda Bo?les‘:: 14 Lilac street, held for the superior court on theft charges and as a ma- terial witness against Michael Gar- finkle, peddler, of 50 Whiting street, likewise held for superior court, sud- denly shifted this morning when her two children, Vera Bowles, aged twelve years, and John Bascom, aged eeven, were arraigned before Judge James T. Mesakill in chambers charged Wwith being neglected and dependant children. Damaging testimony as to conditions at the home as found by Miss Elsle C. Osborn, probation offi- cer and superintendent of New Brit- ain Charity Organization, was given. It was testified that the mother had been intoxicated at least three times since the case came . to the notios of the authorities, that the children were ll clothed and neigh- bors had often fed them. It was also testified that when Mrs. Bowles left home March 17 to go to Hartford the door of the pantry was securely locked with food inside and that fifty cents was left with Vera, “little mother” of the family, to buy some liquor. When the mother did not re- turn, it was testified, the money was uséd to buy bread instead. The children, bright appearing Youngsters, a4id not appear to rea- New nm-n'x aeria, F 0. trery .

They were committed to the county home at ‘Warehouse Point and later taken to that institution in charge of Super- intendent George F. Kibbe of the Town home. In default of $700 bail, Mrs. Bowles was taken to jail today by Mrs. Mary Metty, police matron. She is held for the June term of superior court on charges of theft and is also a ma- terial witness against Garfinkle, who i3 held for the same term of court under bonds of $1,000. DOGS UPSET POLICE. Muzzling Order Keeps Bluecoats on ¢ the Jump. Dogs, dogs, dogs, nothing but dogs, comment desk officials at police head- quarters these days after responding to the numerous telephone calls. And it is dogs that are the subject of a raft of complaints to policemen and Dog Warden John Coffey. All be- cause of the muzzling law and the proclivities of dogs to wander away from their home hearthstone. In many instances, as soon as the absence of the pet is dlscovered, wisions arise of Fido getting rid of the muzsling, wandering out on the street only to be picked up by some representative of the law. But com- paratively few, thus far, of the an- imals have been placed in durance vilé for their attempts at freedom through getting rid of obnoxious muzzles. LOSES ALD AROUND. Sebastian Amenti of 58 Beaver street complained to the police last night that he not only was made the victim of horse thieves, or practical jokers, but was also the victim of a David Harum trick in a horse trade. He informed Capt. T. W. Grace at police headquarters that someone stole his horse from a barn on La- fayette street, the animal afterwards being found in a barn on Lee street. He also complained that he swapped Lorses last Friday and alleges that he got a poor animal. Advice was given him to consult an attorney as adjust- ment of his grievances does not come within police jurisdiction. ASKED POLICE TO COLLEOCT BILL An attempt was again made early this morning to enlist police aid in collection of bills. Shortly before 7 o’clock, Benjamin Dubowy, grocer at 57 Smalley street, telephoned to Ser- geant Gearge J. Kelly at headquar- ters with information that a young married couple, to whom he had sold a substantial amount of groceries on trust, were about to leave the city without paying their bill. He wanted police action taken. He was informed that the case does not come within the province of the department and was advised to consult an attorney. BOMBS BUT | DDN'T KNOW 1T German Plotter Tells of Working for Dr. Scheele New York, March 29.—Ermst Becker; ane of the six alleged German Dlotters now on' trial before Judge Van Fleet in the federal district court, admitted on the stand yesterday that he had helped to make about 150 in- cendiary bombs. The government contends that these bombs were meant for the cargo holds. of .ships plying between the United States-and allled ports, and timed to explode when the ships were at sea, . Becker's testimony reflegted upon Dr. Scheele, the indicted chemist, who is a fugitive from justice, and Earl Schmidt, chief engineer of the North German Lloyd liner Friedrich der Grosse. Schmidt is one of the six now on . Becker, through an interpreter, said he was 33 years old, that his home was in Germany, that he had a family, and that he is an electrician employed an the Friedrich der Grosse, He said he first met Dr. Scheele in the epring of 1915 at his office in Clinton street, when he went to see him after Schmidt had told him to go there to find out & way to make “a little extra money.” In great detail Becker told about the conversation he.had with Dr. Scheele, in which he learned what he was to make and received a sketch of the device. He said he got the lead pipe for the bomb shells from Dr. Scheele. “Where did you saw the pipe?” “In the workshop on the deck of the Friedrich der Grosse, near the crew's quarters.’” y “When you first went to Scheele's place who first let you in to see him?” “I think von Kliest, but I'm not sure. I was alone with Dr. Scheele in the laboratory, one story up.’” The von Kliest Teferred to is Charles von Kleist, an American citizen, and one of the defendants. On the second visit to the factory Becker said he talked to Scheele, who told him to come again next day to see if he should make more shells. He said he asked Chief Engineer Schmidt whether to go to see D Scheele the second time, and that Schmidt told him he could go. X On the second visit, -the witness said, Dr. Scheele said he would like to have about 100 or 150 tubes like the samples. : “Sheele asked me when : I ~could have them finished,” sald the witness, “I said I didn’t know. I would have to try. I told him I'd have to have more lead. He asked me how much and I sald, ‘vou know how. much. I don’t’ He then said he'd send me ten or twelve feet of the lead pipe and solder too.” Becker sald he then went back to the ship and asked Schmidt if he might make them. “gehmidt told me I might make them and the other engineers could help me, so they could be finished quickly,” he testified. “He said I should keep track of how many I made and the expense.” Ldttle cial Reward. The witness said he got $15 a month from the North German Lloyd and that he sent $15 a month to his wife and family and kept $‘l for him- self. The court wanted to know how he got his clothes out of $1 a month. “I've had thig suit seven years,” res plied the witness. Beoker said Dr. Scheele never told him when he was making them, what the cases were for, and that no one else ever told him. He sald Dr. Scheele told him on May 11, 1915, to make no more cases because he had enough. He said the other engineers had made about 250 bomb cases up to that time. 7 At the conclusion of Betker's direct examination a statement he made when arrested was read. In it he said that in each of the little wooden boxes, a satche] full of which he ad- mits having taken to Captain Wol- pert, Hamburg-American pier super- intendent, were two incendiary bombs. He denied that he had told the police that he hgd heard of fires on various ships about ten or twelve days after he delivered the satchel to Taptain ‘Wolpert. After the statement had been read Mr. Osborne, attorney for the govern- ment showed Becker one of the bombs and@ Becker admitted that the shell was one of his own making. ‘Do you know what a bomb is?” asked Mr. Osborne. “Yes,” Becker answered, “it is something like a Zeppelin drops some- times.” “And you didn’t know what things you were making were bomb: Mr. Osborne asked, “No, I did not.” “Why didn’t you try to find then?” “Because Germans are expected to do as they are told and not to ask questions.” Becker said he had served in the German army, but had not served in the navy. Becker said that in the last six shells he made he put in aluminum partitions from metal given to him by Dr. 8cheele. The witness also said he had taken a satchel full of little “boxes” to Captain Wolpert, from Dr. Scheele. Wolpert is under indictment in the same case and is soon to be put on trial. th out _ COBIANCHI OUT ON. BOND. New Haven Youth, Charged With Spying, as Liberty.
