Main Highway Closed. The main highway between Berlin and Merider was closed today by the order of the state road commissioner and hereafter all travel between the two towns will be down through Cat- Hole. Closing of the highway has been ordered because the Suzio com- pany intends to start work on the, Meriden end of the highway the first part of next week and, as the Cat- Hole road’is in the.best condition for travel, signs have been erected point- ing out this road as the main high- way. The gang of men employed on the Berlin end of the construction have already set the concrete as far south as the Sage farm, and with good weather the two sets of men should bave their work finished by the first part of July. The state realizes that this is one of the most used highways and for this reason is anxious to have the work completed as quickly as pos- John W b e John Willlam ‘McKay, for many veais a resident of East Berlin, died last night in Middletown in his sixty- fourth year. He was born and brought up in East Berlin and is survived by his wife. He was a member of the Mattabessett lodge, Knights of Pythias, of East Berlin. The funeral will be [ot a private nature and friends are yasked to omit flowers. The funeral i will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 io'clock from the Bacon undertaking rooms in Middletown and burial will be in the Eadt Berlin cemetery. Rev. S. A. Fiske, pastor of the Berlin Con- gregational church, will officiate. To Appoint Food: Commission. ‘Town Clerk Francis Shaw, who was recently appointed agent of the state garden plan, has received a communi- cation from Governor Holcomb re- questing him to appoint a local food supply committee to aid in the work. Principals of high or private schools are the kind of men that are most needed on the committee, according to the communication. Garden circulars have been recdeived at the office and already several hundred have been mailed to-the citizens of the town. Buttons are being prepared and when received will be given to those that fill out any of the various blanks on the circulars. Mr. Shaw expects to ap- point the committee within a few days. Guard Drill; Tonight. The last drill of the local unit of the Home Gudrd before the company is mustered into the state service will be held tonight in ‘the Town hall at 8 o’clock. All the company members are anxious to get their work down to perfection tonight so that they may make a fine showing at the public rvmmnongl. muster Monday hight. The recruiting office will be open at 7o’clock in the town clerk’s office. Members of Emma Hart Willard chapter of the D. A. R., who had plarned to make a ‘flag for the company will be unable to do so because matemlu are difficult to se- cure. Berlin Briefs, 4 Dwight Rogers, an _international secretary of the Y. M. C..A., is visit- Ing at the home of Mrs. J. B. Smith. Some ‘of the farmers report that there will be a shortage of crops this year rather than an.increase, because of the shortage of help. The rails used in \the old bridge plant’s yapd in East Berlin have been removed by the railroad company and shipped away. » It is claimed that-the 'East Berlin meat men are to discontinue their routes on Saturday of this week be- cause customers fail to purchase. A case of diphtheria has been re- ported in the Beckley Quarter sec- tion. The Grange will hold a dance in their hall on Farmington road tonight. MAY HEAD ITALIAN ' MISSION TO U. . A. DUKE OF THE RBRUZZ| It is expected that the duke of the Abruzzi, cousin of King Victor Em- manuel, will head an Italian mission to the United States. The name of the Duke of the ‘Abruzzi, who takes his title from a district Italy, is as well known to Americans, probably, as that of any other European royalty. Several years ago he figured extensively in the news- papers as a suitor for the hand of Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter of Senatar Elkins of West Virginia. She is now Mrs, Hitt, but the duke hu remained unmarried. He has .com- manded the Italian navy. and has won fame as an arctic explorer and mountain climber. ’ || furnish the security and after | hearing-he was taken to the Hartford | Plainville News ‘WHITE SLAVER’ TO FAGE HIGHER COURT Authony von Stetina Bound Over | § Under Bonds of $2,000 TRACE METHODIST HISTORY Traficker in Women Brought Back From Troy, N. Y., for Preliminary Heabing—Tax Colloctions Good— Guardsmen Will Ask to Be Excused. Finding probable cause in the case ©of Anthony von Stetina, who has been sought by the local authorities for vio- lation of the white slave law for over eighteen months, Justice A. H. Con- dell bound the accused over to the June term of the superior court this morning, placing him under bonds of $2,000. The prisoner was unable to the Jail to await trial before the higher tribunal. Von Stetina was brought back to Connecticut last evening by Lieuten- ant Downing of the state police force. The man had been captured in Troy, N. Y., and, waiving extradition, he | consented to returning to Connecticut. The authorities claim they have a clear case against him and will have no trouble in proving his guilt. Von Stetina has been operating as a white slaver in New York and Con- necticut for years.. He conducted n’ disreputable establishment in Plain- ville, later moving to Bristol, where his place was md% He escaped, but 'was captured in Troy a few weeks later. He broke jail while awaiting extradition, and sucCessfully eluded the authorities until last week when he returned to Troy and was captured. His acecomplices are serving terms in state’s prison. The police claim he was the brains of the gang which operated in this section and they ex- Pect the prosecuting authorities to seek the impositiop of a severe pen- alty when his case comes before the superior court. P History of Methodism. / The history of Methodism in Plain- wville will be traced by Harry A. Castle at a meeting of the men of that de- nomination to' be held in the Meth- odist church parlors next Wednesday evening. Mr. Castle has delved into the records of all the loval churches and has secured a wealth of informa- tion concerning the Methodists since they first organized as a religious body in’this town. The affair at which he will speak will take the form of a men’'s sup- per and will, according to expecta- tions, be one of the most important gatherings held under the auspices of the Methodist church in a long ffme. The pastor, Rev. W. A. Goodell, and members of the official board have been working for a number of weeks on the arrangements. They expect’ that there will be a large gathering at the supper, which is to be the be- ginning of a series of gatherings which are expected to stimulate interest in the activities of the church. There will be an address by the pastor and a speaker from out of town will probably be secux;ed to take part ir the after-supper profram. Tax Collections Good. Although some of the largest prop- erty owners in town have not as yvet sent in their checks, Collector W. J. Hemingway reports that a record- breaking amount has been received in taxes during the last three weeks. War talk and high prices have not had much of an effect on the collection of taxes, and the property owners have for the most part responded to the statements sent out by the collector. All bills for property taxes must be settled by Monday, the law providing | for an addition of nine per cent on the statement not paid by the last of the month. Although he has nét totalled .the amounts thus far received, the col- lector’s receipt pad indicates that the | amount taken in to date will exceed by considerable the total collections of last vear on this date. On April 27, 1915, the books showed 238 receipts had been made out. To date the col- lector has given receipts to 258 prop- erty owners. This number includes the special school tax. Personal taxes must be Monday, -delinquents leaving . selves liable to arrest. Y Dog Owners Slow.

Baron Rosen was Russian ambassa- dor to the United States from 1905 to 1911, when he was succeeded by Mr. Bakhmeteff, who, it is understood, tendered his resigation to the new government shortly, after fhe success- ful revolution which overthrew fhe czar. He is said to be a bellevey in autocratic government for Russia, and therefore out of sympathy with the new regime. Few Russians know the -United States as well as Baroy -Rosen, who, thirty-five years ago, was appointed consul general in New York. Later he was charge d’affaires in Washing- ton during President Cleveland's first administration. 2 From 1893 to the beginning of the war with Japan Baron Rosen was Rus- slan ambassador at Tokyo, and after his appointment as Russian ambassa- dor to the United States he was select- ed as one of the Russian peace com- missioners at the Portsmouth confer- ence.
