M. Griswoid | late yesterday afternoon discovered | another mild case of smallpox in the family' of Frederick Guite on Farm- ington road. The ‘case is that of a child which has had an eruption since April 12, but had not been thought sufficiently sick to have medi- cal attention. Dr. Griswold says that the trouble with the present epidemic of smallpox, which is prevalent ail over the state, is that most of them are so mild that they are not report- 1 ed until they arc fully developed and there is no opportunity to quarantine the houses where they ocecur, until after therc has beén danger of con- veylng the infection to others. Th sre several other suspected cases mbout the town and these will be held under close observation until such a time as they may, prove othcr- wise- | for have been reported there All cases at that point were of genuine chicken pox. All other town schools will re- maig open as usual and all the chil- dren and teachers will be vaccinated at the schools. Any parent§ may have . their children vaccinated by their own physician if they so desire. G- C. Beckett for Captain. It required but one ballot to elect G._ C. Beckett captain of the local unit of the Home Guard at the meet- ing held in the Town hall last night. Mr. Beckett has been one of the most jnportant figures In the activities of the organization since its start and his selection as captain met with the approval of all. He is well exper- ienced along military lines having scrved as second licutenant in Co. E oi the Connecticut National Guard over fifteen vears. Mr. Beckett also scen service with Co. L The clection of Mr. Beckett is expected to meet with the approval of the mili- 'y emergency board at Hartford, as « previous experience makes him a valuable man in the service. In/ connection with the discovery o . smallpox in the town a special meet- ing of the town school committee was held last night for the purpose of toking action in regard to the cases that have developed within the past week. As usual at such times the re- ports of the number of , case: somewhat overdrawn but the com- mittee deemed it advisable to take precautionary mcasures and adopted the following resolution at Dr. Gri " wold's suggestion: Resolved. “That we request the health officer to issue * an order compelling all children in - the town of Berlin of school age to be vaccinated before further attendance at school, in any event before April <23, unless such children have previ- ously been vaccinated to the satisfac- tidn of the health officer. Already the Worthington and South schools have been closed until further order by the health officer. In connection with the resolution the health officer will issue such an order at once and has ar- yanged with Dr. M. H. Griswoid and « Dr. T. C. Hodgson to carry it into _effect. Any_parents refusing to have their children vaccinated can make an ap- péal to the secrctary of the ° State Feard of Health as provided by Iaw, and nnless an exemption is zranted, such children will be excluded: from school, and the matter will then corae to the attention of the county health officer and the state hoard o@educa- ents have heen made ival school will be thor- oughly fumigated, were | G.

Gift to Library. Wiliam Bulkeley, president of the Berlin Library association, has just presented to the library two bound volumes containing the reports of the town of Berlin from 1858 to 1917. This gift is very much appreciated as the books contain much of interest in regard to the history of the town and are a valuable addition to the loca] historical collection which the library is making. * Dangerous Grass Fire. ‘While blasting in the lot to the rear of the Brandegee homestead yester- day afternoon ‘“Dynamite” Jones came very near to setting the world on fire with one of his charges. In some unknown manner the grass took fire and before Mr. Jomes could put it out the flames had spread to the surrounding fields, aided by the wind. The flames spread from the Brandegce lot to the lot in the rear of the Con- gregational church parsonage and the barn of Postmaster A. B. Goodrich. It required the aid of about fifteen men before the flames were chegked and then they were within twenty- five feet of the Goodrich barn. With the high wind that was blowing vester- day aflernoon thege is very little doubt but what several homes would have been destroyed but for the efficient work of the volunteer firemen. A large barn, containing hay, and belonging to R. O. Clark was burned to the ground in East Berlin yesterday afternoon. The fire when discovered had already spread to the hay and was making good progress. A bucket brizade was formed and it was due to this fact that surrounding buildings were saved. The cause of the fire unknown and the damage will amount to about $600. Affirmative Given Decision. The affirmative side was awarded | the decision in the debate of the Ken- sington Men’s Lyceum last evening in the Kensington Methodist church. The negative side was sontewhat handi- capped by the absence of Dr. M. H. Griswold, who was unable to attend, and John Emerson carried on the argument alone. The vote affirmative was awarded to all three points as well as the vote of the house. The questign for debate was, Resolved: “That the exportation of foodstuffs should be restricted in order to re- duce the high cost of liyng. Arthur Moffatt and Louis DeVivo represented the affirmative. Dominick Alusandrini. + ~The funeral of Dominick Alusan- drini, who died in the New: Britain Hospital late Sunday night from a shock, was held from St. Mary's church, New Britain, this morning at | 10:30 o’clock.

Ryan” BURIAL ORDERED DEFERRED Medical Examiner Has Little Hope of Locating Pead Man’s Rclatives— Local Women Organize to Make Surgical Dressings For Allies. Although he ordered burial deferred for another twenty-four hours, Medi- cal Examiner C. W. Moody stated this morning that he had practically aban- doned hope of locating relatives of the unidentified man, whose mangled body was found on the railroad tracks between the passenger station and the East street crossing Sunday mokrn- ing. All clues that might lead to posi- tive identification have been run down and except for the fact that the man had been employed at the mill of the Bristol Brass company since April 12 and was registered on the . payroll as ““T. Ryan”, no information concerning him could be secured. The medical examiner conferred with ofiicials of the mill regarding the man yesterday afternoon but they could tell nothing about him. The man had applied for. work on the 12th and was immediately given employ- ment. His associates declare that he had not been cdmmunicative regard- ing himself or his antecedents and they knew nothing about him or his past history. ‘The body remains at the undertak- ing rooms of W. A. Bailey and com- pany end unless relatives come to claim 1t, it will be buried in West cemetery tomorrow at the expense o the town. 2 % ‘The store marks on the man’s cloth- ing, which indicate that the garments were purchased in Idaho, give rise to the belief that he was possibly a stranger in this section of the country, and his relatives, if he has any, prob- ably belong in the west. The authorities have not been able to learn positively the circumstances connected with the man’s death but they believe he was run down about midnight by an east bound freight extra, probably while he was walking to East Bristol where the Bristol Brass compan out-of-town help arz shelteréd. Four “Drunks” in the Tolls. Four “drunks” are in the town lock-up 'awaiting hearings on charges preferred against them by Constable Marino and Downing. Three of them, strangers in town, were locked up yesterday by Officer Marino. The fourth was taken into custody by Constables Marino and Downing this morning. He was creating a d turbance at the home of Roma C. Bar- rett in Russell's block where he boards and was placed under arrest on complaint of his landlord. Local Ladies to Help. Voting to affiliate with the New Britain branch of the National Civic federation( a group of Plainville wo- man, banded together following a meeting held at the home of Mrs. Ed- win Hills, to do what they can to al- leviate the sufierings of the soldiers wounded in the trenches in Europe. At the call of a committee, made up of Mrs. Hills, Mys. Dwight Clark and Mrs. Frank T. Wheeler, nearly forty women assembled to discuy ways and means for helping to lighten the bur- den of the soldiers engaged in the ter- rible conflict for the benefit of hu- mani It was an enthusiastic gathering and all were anxious to offer their ser- vices. It was explained that the wo- men ,of the country can do much to help in the work of the Red Cross by making surgica! dressings and it was voted to have the local organization specialize in this branch of the ser- vice. Mrs. John B. Minor offered the use of the lower floor of her home on East Main street for the workers and the organization gratefully accepted her proposal. It is expected that a general meet- ing will be called for April 26 to be held at Mrs. Minor's home. All the ladies of the town are invit- ed to affiliate with the organization and help in, the work.

The idea was originated by Charles H. Norton of Worcester, Mass.,, who in a letter to A. A. McLeod offered the free use of his land in Red Stone Hill for any body of men who would agree to cultivate it this summer, Mr, Norton agreed to stand the expense of ploughing and in addition he . ex- pressed a willingness to furnish the fertilizer required. Others present at the meeting ex- plained that they had land, which is non-productive under present condi- tions, and which they are willing to’ give the use of for planting this sum- mer. g It was suggested that the Norton land be used for the planting of 'a large crop of potatoes, the yield from which could be sold to the poor of the town without any profit to the men who gave up their time and labor to its cultivation. Several other plans were offered and the proposition was generally discussed although no posi- tive action was taken. Men interested in the movement | aver that something will probably de- | % velop from the suggestions and they expect Plainville citizens will put their | § shoulders to the wheel and will ‘do what they can to serve their coun- try in the crisis. Brief Items. Thirty-two of the friends of Mrs, W, Cooper and Mrs. J. Driscoll tendered | them a double birthday surprise at the home of Mrs. C, Liby on Maple street. The guests of honor were the recipi- | ents of number of gifts as mementos | of their birthday anniversary. The | i house was prettily decorated with the national colors. Pythian lodge, K. of P., will have a regular meeting this evening. The de- gree of second rank will be conferred by Session’s degree team of Forest- ville. The Grange will meet this evening in its hall on Pierce street. ‘While, the firemen’s fair is in prog- ress, the Home Guard will drill in the Grange hall. Squads will'report every night for instruction. Captain Trum- bull believes it will be several days before the men are in shape for com- pany drill. The funeral of Albert F, Diggle, who died suddenly yesterday, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from his home on Broad street. Services will be conducted at the house by Rev. J. G. Ward and will be strictly private. Burial will be in West cem- etery.
