The first report of the military emergency bodrd was made to tHe governor yes- terday and tells of the strength of the guard and also a report of the his- tory of its formation with the work of the board since March 9. Original - @plans called for the first line of 5,000 gen to have regular military equip- ‘ment, consisting of rifles. ponchos, etc., but it has been found that the guard already contains more than 5,000, so elther some will be without equipment or further provisions will have to be made. / 5,000,000 Corns ..

Nearly all !he supplies have been contracted for and at prices which could not be touched today. There has also been ught 275,000 rounds of ammunition hu than the present day price. About 10:000 men had enlisted on | April 17, and ‘thig. made it necessary to reduce the companies from seven- t v-five men to_sixty-five, with three officers.

Here #s a New Britain story that h: stood the test of tinie., Jt id.a story with a- point which will come qtralgw home to many of us. Mrs. A. Cowlat, 84 John St., New Britain, says: . “Off and on for years [ have had more m-_len trouble from my kidneys.. At fimes.the pain in the small of my bgck became ver severe. Doan's Kidney Pllls did me a great deal of good. The pain and soreness were soon removed and T felt better gencrally?” (Statement given August 9, 1912). . On April 18, is 1916 Mrs. Cowlam satd: “My recommendation for Doan’s Kidney Pills still holds good and T don't hesitate to again endorse them.

Viewing the fair from almost dny angle it was the most successful in the history of the Hose company and the memhe)-s were highly elated this morning over the results accomplished. Townspeople and friends in other places patronized the fair liberally and were generous in their treatment of the canvassers. The attendance was large every cvening. Entertainments of a high order were provided and the program each night gave general satisfaction. The feature of the-closing was the drawing of prizes which resulted as follows: $10—Blank. $5—Day, New Britain. $5—Malvina Hiscox, Plainville. $5—Blank. Box of Cigars—John TUnionville.

A considerabls sum was realized from this source. Farly Morning Court, Court has been heli in Plainville beneath the shade of old1 eim trees, at the passenger station, in/ stores, in the morning, afternoon and evening, and on Sundays, too, but it remained for Justice E. P. Prior and Grand Juror M. A. Norton to provide the real novelty in legal procedure, thev disposing of the case of a prisoner at 2 o’clock this morning. The accused, who gave his name as John Moran, was arrested early in the evening hy Constable Marino. The of- ficer had to leave town at an early hour this morning and after he com- pleted his patrol duty he reported to Justice Prior and Grand Juror Norton, who were husy until long after mid- night in the Town hall closing up the business of the firemen's fair. It was decided to call a session of the court before the trio retired, and Moran's slumbers were disturbed while charges against him were heard. The accused has been before the court on several occasions. Justice Prior fined m $7 and costs for drunkenness, hdding $2 and a sen- tence of thirty days in jail for breachk of the peace. He suspended execution of the jail penalty, however, on con- dition that Moran remain away from Plainville Plainville to Have Company. Although there is baund to be some disappointment over the recommenda- tion of the state military commission favoring equipment for but 65 mem- bers of the Home Guard in Plainville, the fact that the town is to have a uniformed company at all will be cause for-some satisfaction here. In many of the towns of Plainville’s size throughout the state the companies organized ‘as part of the home guard are to be placed en the reserve list according to the commission's’ sug- gestlon. Plainville was one of the first to re- spond to the governor's call for the formation of the guard and the acti- vity displayed hy Captain Trumbull and other prominent citizens inter- ecsted in the organization was recog- lized by the commission, the local company being promised equipment as a result. ~There are 150 men enlisted in the From that number. ‘Captain Truwun,wm select 65 of the.! +host competent soldiers for the .unje,| formed €ompany, the others to serve as reservists.

Dinky Hits Ice Cart, What might have been a very serious accident, and even a fatality, was averted. early this morning remarkable fashion, when an ‘east bound dinky train crashed into a team owned by tHe New Britain Ice Cor- poration as the outfit was crossing thes| tracks on its way to the White Oak ‘repository. The train was proceeding at good speed at the time and the engine struck the team with great force, shattering the wheels and carrying the body of the cart for several hundred feet, eventually dropping it down the embankment. Showing rare preseace-of mind, the driver, unable to get the team from the path of the onrushing train, jumped from his seat to the back of one of his horses. The engine broke the shafts releasing the horses, both of which were thrown by the impact. The animals escaped with slight bruiges and their ariver was unhurt. Te train proceeded a considerable dis- “tance before it could be brought to a stop. ) Painter a Bankrupt. Through Attorneys Roche & Glover of New Britain, John S. Larson of this place today filed a voluntary pe- tition in bankruptcy. He is without any assets and, according to his state- ment, has not the usual filing fee. Mr. Larson has been engaged in the paint- ing and decorating business for a number of vears. Try Alleged “White Slaver” Here. That Anthony von Stetina, arrested yesterday in Troy, N. Y, on the charge of white slavery, may be brought to Plainville for a prelimin- ary examination is expected by the local, authorities, although the state pohce, who have the case in hand, have sent mo notification to that ef- fect. Stentina’s accomplices, who are serving terms in state’s prison, were bound over from Plainville and his case will probably be similarly dealt with. While the accused operated in va- rious parts of Connecticut and New York for a number of years, it was not until he opened a questionable resort here that the police got on his trail. He closed up the local estab- lishment befare he could be appre- hended and went to Bristol where his place was raided a few days later. The police made the raid in October, 1915, but Stetina, the alleged pro- prietor, made a successful getaway. He was later arrested in Troy but es- caped from jail while awaiting extra- dition to Connecticut. His associates, Joe Albertin and An- nie Roberts, the latter known as “Big Annie,” were sentenced to state’s prison. Stetina is allezed to have made a business of transporting females from one state to another for 1mproper purposes and until the state' police got on his trail he was considered to be one af the most successful ‘‘white slave’” operators in.the East. Lieutenant T. F. Downing of the state police has been assigned to bring the prisoner back to Connecticut and should he waive extradition proceed- ings he will be returned at once for trial. Decorators at Work. Decorators began today the work of decorating the Town hall for the tenth annual banquet of the Business and Improvement association to be served tomorrow evening. The na- tional colors are to be predominant in the scheme of decoration. The ban- quet is described by\the committee as a patriotic rally and it is expected to prove one of the biggest demon- strations ever seen in Plainville. Uncle Sam’s position in the world war and the part each individual must lay to insure a successful termination of the conflict will be the themes to be developed by the speakers. Patriotic airs and the popular songs of the day will be sung during the serving of the courses. Those who will take part in the post prandial exercises will be Rev. W. A: Goodell, toastmaster; J. H. Trumbull, president; Rev. Irving Berg and Robert T. Butler, both of rt- ford, and Joseph W. Alsop of Avon." 3 Fmbargo Holds Up Work; ¢ Tje gmbargos on freight: is holding up fhe work of extending the water mains to the property of the Plain- ville Realty, company, which is now. being developed.
