E ASSISTS AT RAISING OF FLAG ‘Squad hm Salute As Sm‘s and Stripes Are Uniurled nial flag raiging to a burlesque basket- ball game. The personnel of the command remains at ninety-five en- listed men and two officers, with two additional applicants sent to Hartford this morning for examinatign. “ Lieutenant Ashley J. Griffin, ‘in chnge, of severa] squads of men, went to the Stanley ‘Works this noon where the eoldiers assisted in the flag raising exercises at the mill. A salute of twenty-one guns was fired by a picked | firing squad and the company buglers { sounded the call “to colors.”, The flag ‘Wwag purchased by individual subscrip- tion among the mill.employes and the Ppole was furnished by the company carpenters. Morris Riley, an old Stanley Works employe and a civil ‘War veteran, was prominent in the’ exercises. Mr. Riley, while fighting ‘with the Union forces during the civil war, was captured and thrown into ‘Andersonville prison. The committee in charge of the flag raising consisted of Loren H. Pease, Hollis J. Foster and Andrew F. Oliver. e basketball game this morning ‘was for the championship of the non- commissioned officers. The team cap- tained by Corporal Normand L. Mcr Kay defeated Sergeant Wilbert Veley's hoop tossers after an ,hour’s grilling ‘hattle by a score of 40 to 11. Lieu- tenant Griffin sidestepped the job of referee and Second Lieutenant Harris proved himself a man of valor by officiating in that capacity. The time- keeper was Bugler; Saviski and the soorer was Cook Orville Ventres, who also had a hazardous job. The two teams lined up something like this: 'ERS LOSERS Corporal McKay .Sergeant Olsen Right forward Corporal Logan. . ..Sergeant Schuetze Left forward Sergeant Veley Center ? Corporal Overstrom. ..Sergeant Bober Right guard Corporal Dawson. . ..Corporal Duplin Left guard. The gther non commissioned officers took part as members of partisan rooting sqtads. . McKay’s rooters were Corporal Olsen, Corporal Lacell and Lieute t Harris. The rooters for the lost 'cause were Lieutenant Grif- | in, Bugler Gregory, Mechanic Ventres, Céok Anderson and Sergeant Curtin. ‘The losers will provide a turkey sup- per for the winners at the Hotel Nel- son on Monday night. Cofporal Me- Kay will be toastmaster. Anticipating ‘a long hike from Paris to Berlin, Germany, Corporal Dawson and Sergeant Bober went into active training last night. Armed wijh & searchlight they hiked about six miles, their route extending to the Shuttle Meadow reservoir, along the west canal to Barnet street and back to the city. They report giving a case of near heart faflure to two of the alert ®uards at the reservoir who did not see them coming. McMAHON’S AUTO WRECKED. Run Down by North End Trolley on Hartford Avenue, An automobile owned by Patrick 8.’ McMahon, local théater magnate and proprietor of the Hotel Bronson, was damaged to an estimated figure of more than $800 and the occupants narrowly escaped -serious injury on Hartford avenue late Jast night when the machine was struck by a north end trolley car near Talcott street. It was hit from the rear and thrown into the gutter and against an iron post. McMahon, in a report of the acci- dent to Sergeant George J. Kelly at police headquarters shortly after mid- night today, saild that he was driving in the trolley tracks, did not start to “clear” in time and believed that the motorman did not see him in time be- cause of the driving rain. POTATO MYSTERY AT THE POLICE STATION 7 Chiet \Rawlings Puzzled When Load of Seed is Left For Officers’ Gardens. ‘The agricultural sketch *“Co-opera- tive Gardening or Intensive Farming”, significant of the times, was staged at police headquarters yesterday and at- tracted more than the usual amount of aftention because its presentation took place during a period when officials were busy with department routine. Police Chief William J. Rawlings and Desk Officer A. C. Malone were busy !’ll:urln‘ up the of supernumerar- ied needed for extra duty and working on the department’s extra pay roll, one result of the war, when the door was opened hurriedly and a man en- tered. Outside an automobile bearing the sign of a well known | produce farm “chugged away” merrily and bags of potatoes and other garden. del- jcacies could be seen as cargo. “Where shall I put the potatoes?” the visitor inquired. Chief Rawlings and Officer Malone stared at him and wondered if Santa had begun prema- ture visitations or some wealthy rela- tive was dead. *“What potatoes?” the former asked, “didn’t know that we were conducting a philanthropic in- stitution and feeding the cell inmates ‘with spuds at the present price.” It ‘was the autoist’s turn to look mysti- fled. directed to deliver some seed potatoes at headquarters and was doing so to the ‘best of his ability.

BURG, NEW YORK. it had about been decided to call for the aid ,of the detective bureau in solving the mystery when, all at once, light dawned on the subject, It was remembered that -“gardening” is planned as a favorife pastime of po- lice department members this year. A little more investigation and it was learned that the potatoes had been or- dered for their gardens by a delega- tion of policemen, headed by Capt. Thomas W. Grace, were to be equally divided and used by them for gardens already ploughed and prepared. Once their destination had been determined, Chief’ Rawlings directed that they be carried into a store room and left there to await the “Hague confer- ence” of his agricultural subordinates.
