As yet no one in the town has been .approached an the subject of locating such a.plant in Berlin and it is not | known whether the man looking aver the ground was satisfied with the layout of. the land. 1 A new location, which would be more or less away fromi the resjdential section, was talked of taday by several of the townspeople and appeared to meet with favor. The plot talked of is in Beckley Quarter somewhere near the Mattabessett river and also close to the branch line of the New Haven road. which 7Tuns between in and Middletown. As there are no houses close to the river and the material could be shipped by the rail- road without the added danger of having it drawn through the streets of the town there.is strong possibility that if the agent were to get into com- munication with the owners of the property he might be able to do busi- ness. Repairing Turntable, For the past two days the New Ha- ven road has had a gang of men at work. on the old turntable 'which is located east of the station. The table has been out of commission for some time past and when a call came to turn a locomotive around it could not be dome and the train crew had to wait untll the next station was reached. There are may times that a down train has a defective engine which could be ‘sent back on a lighter up train but owing to the table be- ing out of order this could not be done. A new bed for the rails has been built and the machinery fixed until everything is again in first class repair, When steam was used on the branch between Berlin and Mid- dletown the table was used a great deal but with the coming of the trol- ley it has not been used.

The object.of this, it was ex- plained, was to prevent these Amer- icans from disclosing military infor- mation that might be of value. Their detention will not surprise officials here, and if it is not extended for a longer period than three weeks it would be regarded as quite the cor- rect thing, ‘in view of the circum- stances and of the stipulation entered into some time ago by these Amer- icans that they would agree to such a ‘‘news quarantine” whenever they elected to give up their work in the fighting zone. However, it is not ex- pected that American diplomatic and consular officers retiring from Bel- gium will be detained, as assurances have been given by Germany, through Spain, that these agents of the Amer- ican government will be allowed to go directly to Switzerland. To correct misapprehension and ex- plain the situation, the state depart- ment hag issued this statement: 7 “There appears to be some misap- prehension as to the delay in the withdrawal of American members of the commission for relief in Belgium. Shortly after the break in relations with Germany negotiations were in- stituted with a view to providing for the continuation of the relief work. “The German authorities in Bel- glum invited the American members to remain, and gave written assur- ‘ances that they might leave whenever they desired to give up the work. ¥ A view of the fact that these men were in the fighting zone, however, it was stipulated that they should, upon relinquishing their work, remain for a “news quar-. was able to be present but a short time at last evening’s session and the number of enlistments consequently was not as large as the committee had expected. Chairman Gwillim announced this morning that there are now 75 men in the local unit. He expects that by tomorrow night the number will be nearly doubled and when the guards assemble for the igitial drill they will have numerical strength comparing favorably with that of any town in the state of Plainville’s population. Captain Trumbull is enthusiastic over the guard and he is working energetically to make the Plainville company one of which the’town may |) well be proud. During next week he plans to have the members of the unit drill in squads, a division each night. He proposes to have the squads ‘made up in a fashion that || will permit of drill one night a week by every miember of the unit. After the men acquire some knowledge of military manoeuvers company drills will be held. The squads will drill in the Town hall and the company practice will be held in'the open, the guard meeting on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. Later there will be target practice and every man will have an opportu- nity to become familiar with army rifles and their use. That a start may be made next week Captain Trumbull is hopeful that the men who plan to join the guard will enlist tonight or tomorrow, making it possible for the recruiting committee to stop enrolling this week. The com- mittee will be at the post office to- night from’ 7 to 8 o’clock and tomor- row afternoon and evening as well. Mrs, Russell Very Low. Mrs. Rose A. Russell, widow of the late Thomas Russell, is critically ill at her home on East Main street and her relatives and friends are apprehen- sive over her condition. Mrs. Russell had a paralytic shock last evening and she has since been in a semi-con- scious state. A trained nurse 1s in attendance, Silent Traffic Officer. . The Plainville police force was aug- mented yesterday by the arrival of a “silent officer” which has been placed on Central Square to regulate traffic. The “officer” is similar to those in use in cities and it directs teams and autoists in a manner that minimizes the danger of collisions. ‘Although there is ' no state law forcing motorists or the drivers of teams to obey the orders painted on it, they are expected to be guided by it and no trouble is expected. Teaves All to Daughter. Ignoring his wife entirely, George 8. Babcock i will prepared a year ago and Mlm(mhm probate,yesterday afternoon, directed that all his prop- erty go to his daughter, Mrs. Mar- Jjorie Gloriant, at his death. Despite the will, Mr. Babcock's widow will have the life use of one-third of his estate, should there be any after the bills are settled, the law providing for such an arrangement. Judge Byington gave a hearing con- cerning the admission of the will-yes- terday afternoon and, as no objection was offered, the document was ad- nfjtted. The estate consists mostly of house- hold furniture and a small amount in cash. Mr. Babcock derived his in- come from a trust fund the life use of which was willed to him by rela- tives, and the money is now to be divided among his children. Funerals Tomorrow. Funeral services for Mrs. Olive M. Hemingway, Plainville’s oldest resi- dent, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James E. Webster of Broad street. Rev. F. L. Grant, of East Hampton, a former pastor of a period of two or three weeks In some German city on their way to Switzerland, in order to prevent the transmission of any fresh information. This condition was accepted by the relief commission. “It is not anticipated that the Amer- ican diplomatic or consular officers will be detalned during this period, as written assurances have been re- ceived through the Spanish govern- ment that they will be permitted to proceed directly to Switzerland.” o~ .

While it is understood that no plans have been made for paving the way for the construction of a sewer sys- tem at the annual meeting of the san- itary and sewer district to be held in the Town hall Monday night, it is expected that the organization will be kept alive and the committee which served as its head during the past yearf will be re-eleoted. The time when @ sewer will be built in Plainville is mz far distant in the opinion of many of thé citizens and during .the coming year it is expected an effort will be made to have the voters make arrangements for it Its need is generally recognized, the tax- payers opposing its construction solely on the grounds of the expense involved.
