Griswold in the town court yesterday .,tternoon. Later the costs of court ‘were Temitted by, Judge Griswold. Bloom entered a plea of guilty to the charge of obtain money under false 'pretenses had nothing to: #ay in regard to the matter. Prosecutor William H. Gibney called but one witness to the stand, that one being Mrs, Frank Flogiati of Kensington. Mrs. Flogiati told the court that on the morning of April 13 about 9 o'clock in thie morning Bloom came into the store, which her hus- bend runs in partnership with an- other Kensington Italian, and told them that since war had been de- clared a-car traveling from one town to another without a certain license might be taken for a spy and put under arrest. Bloom said that he represented ‘the state of Connecticut and wanted to register the car owned by the store. In’ addition to the um plates he would give a tag which would show that the required amount had been paid. The price for this special tax was $22.50, she said. Bloom also gave, them some papers to sign and her husband put his sig- nature on them but did not pay the money as he wanted to investigate the DOWRKWARD COURSE 7.'Wast Being Reslized by New Britain le.

She stated that Bloom told her he would come after the money later, Prosecutor Gibney said that he con- sidered the state had proven its case | as the man had said he represented the State of Connecticut in trying to| dispose of his insurance. Bloom rep- repents the Auto Owners Co-opera- tive association of Philadelphia. There was no question but what the company was putting out what it rep- Jesented but they were not able to control their men and for this reason it was a hardshig on the company. Judge Griswold in placing a fine of $100 on Bloom said that others must considered and a sentence of this kind'would have the effect of a warn- ing. Arthur Pinell of the state police, investigated the case and arrested Bloom at the Hotel Garde in Hart- ford on last Friday.

Automobile drivers, of both pleas- ure cars and commercial, were' over- Joyed today when the town teams made their appéarance on Galpin's hill with the intention of putting that place in first class shape for the sum- mer travel. All during the winter months there has been more or less trouble experienced by automobile drivers when they tried to scale the heights and more than' one car of either the commercial or pleasure va- The hill is one of the worst the town and when the new cohcrete road was put in on the ridge the up- per slope became more pronounced than ever. It is hoped that after sev- eral of the mud holes have been filled and other conditions of a like nature| repaired that the hill will hold no more _terrors for the motorist. Guard Measurements. An announcement of particular in- terest was made today by Captain G. C. Beckett in regard to the equip- ping of the lodal unit of the Home Guard. The company members were very much pleased when they learned this. morning that befdite the drill to- morrow night they will be measured for their uniforms, and these, together with the other equipment will ar- rive within a week or two. Captain Beckett requests that every member of the company be on hand at the 1drill in the Town hall tomorrow even- ing in order that all uniforms may i be ordered at the same time.

Leslie Burton Succumbs to Injuries ~—Many. Priests Attend McOarthy Fumeral—Special Town Meeting— Business Men’s Annual. Accepting salary increases of $50 voted by the school board in response to their petition, all of the men:bers of the teaching force in the local schools, with the exception of three, have agreed to make contracts to re- turn here next year. The entire force was re-elected by the board and con- tracts have been forwarded to the in- dividuals by Secretary F. G. Osborne. Responses have already been received from the majority of the instructors and the board does not expect over three vacancies at the close of the term. + Although making no application for more pay, the board considered ser- vices of Principal O. Judd worth more ‘than the $1,400 he is at present get- ting and they voted to also grant him an increase in salary. Mr. Judd has shown himself to be' an efficient teacher and an excejlent disciplinar- jan and his re-election with a salary ‘Increase attests to the appreciation of his work manifested by the commit- tee. Mrs. Harold L. Newell, who has been teaching at the school for sev- -eral months, has advised the commit- tee that while she is willing to be a substitute she does not want to be considered a regular teacher. Miss Maude L. Johnson has decided to teach in Bristol next yéar and she will not accept her re-election here. It is also understood that Miss Verna Car- lisle will terminate her connection with the school this’ year and in. the fa1l will'take a position in New Brit- ain. The board will have to engage two new teachers for the extra rooms in the addition .which is to be erected this summer in addition to getting at least three instructors to fill vacancies. The high cost of living was ad- vanced by the teachers as a reason why they should have their salaries increased. The board concurred in this opinion and voted to add 350 a year to the pay of each of the regular instructors. They believed that as Principal Judd will have additional duties after the new shoool rooms are provided his present salary will be inadequate and they pased a vote to grant him an increase. At their May meeting last evening the committee was advised that the Torrington Building company, which has the contract for the schoolhouse addition, is having the foundation laid for the kindergarten building, which will have to be moved from its pres- ent location to make rdbom 'for the new structure. Work on the addition will be started soon. Material for use in its construction is arriving dally, and the contractors hope to make a start on the actual work as soon as the portable building used by the kinder- garten is moved. Many Priests at Funerel. The Catholic clergy of Hartford diocese was represented at the funer- al of Stephen McCarthy, held this morning from the Church. of Our Lady of Mercy, by a large number of priests, friends of the McCarthy fam- ily. A solemn’high mass was celebrated. Rev. Bernard McCarthy of St. Pat- rick's church, Hartford, a brother of the deceesed, was the celebrant; Rev. Patrick McCarthy of Meriden, another brother, was deacon; Father Curran of Hartford, sub deacon and Rev. J. J. McDonald of this place, master of ceremonies. There was a large attendance at the funeral. Among the out-of-town priests who came here for the mass were Rev. H. X. Coleman of Southing- ton: Rev. Fathers Lynch, McGraw, McGettrick, Kehoe and Dr. Neal of Meriden; Rev. John E. Fay of New Britain; and Rev. Fathers Rogers, Cavanaugh and Regan of Hartford. Interment was in St. Joseph’s cem- etery. J. Leslie Burton Dead. ‘Without having recovered con- sciousness, Leslie Burton of East Main streetfpassed away. this morn- ing at the Hartford hospital, injuries sustained in an auto accident on the New Britain road on April 6, prob- ably causing his death. ‘The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock with services in the Mortuary chapel in Fairview cemetery, New Britain. Mr. Burton's case baffled the physi- cians called to attend him and al- though they resorted to every means known to medical science they were unable to positively diagnose his ail- ment. Mr. Burton had been thrown through the windshield of James Ush- er's auto when the latter ditched his car in an effort to aveid running down a pedestrian. At the time it was not believed that he had been badly hurt. Later, however, his mind became af- fected and he was moved to the hos- pital a week ago. Efforts to restore his reason proved of no avail and hope for his recovery had been practically abandoned since Sunday. It is thought that an abscess formed on his brain from the injury which he re- cetved. Mr. Burton was 48 years of age and was employed as a glazer by D. O. Rogers company of New . Britain. He had many friends in Plainviile who were shocked to hear of the tragic end of the accident in which he figured. He is survived by his widow and one child. Town Meeting Tonight. Voters have been called to assemble in the Town hall tonight to take ao- tion' on the suggestion that the town participate in the highway improve- ments planned for on West Main and ‘Whitinig etreets by the state highway commissioner and the trolley - com- pany. It is proposed to lay amiesite on both streets and Commissioner Ben- nett wants the town to make an ap- propriation sufficient to make it pos- sible to have the pavement extend from curb to curb on West Main street from the railroad crossing to a ppoint at the corner of Plerce street and on Whiting street from the terminus of the prpsent pavement area as far as the residence of Mrs. Frank B. Newton. The proposed improvement on West Main street will cost the fown $2,00y while an appropriation not in excess of $500 will be needed to follow out the commissioner’s suggestions re- garding Whiting street. ‘As the state and trolley companies will spend thousands of dollars to im- prove the streets it is’ generally be- lieved that the town should show its interest by co-operating to the extent asked by the commissioner and it is likely that an appropriation of about 8]2,!00 ‘will be voted at tonight's ses- ston. Business Men's Annual. Following the special town meet- ing members of the Business and Im- ‘provement association: will gather m the court room for the annual ses- sion of that organization.

Home Guard Here, Uniforms and equipment for the lainville Home Guard company, hich is to be a part of the First Regiment, arrived here this afternoon and will ba distributed Friday and Saturday lghts. Captain J. H. Trumbull spent some time in Hartford yesterday and after making earnest appeals to members of the state mil- itary emergency commission and “pulling all the wiree”. he knew of succeeded in getting an order for the equipment allotted to the Plainville guard. '‘An auto truck was sent to the cap- itol city this afternoon and the equip- nient transferred to this town. Captain Trumbull has selected the men who will form ithe uniformed company of the local unit and cards will be sent to them instructing them to report Friday or Saturday nights at the Town hall, where the equipment will be distributed, The company will drill in uniform Sunday. Although only 65 men will be uni- formed Captain Trumbull _proposes. to have all the men enlisted in the guard report for drill regularly. The guns will be passed to men mnot in uniform at certain times that they may be- come accustomed to handling them. They will also have a part in target practice. Methodists Have Banquet, Interesting addresses were given.at the men’s supper served in the Methodist church parlors last evening.
