L. Damon, a prominent coal dealer, ‘was fined $26 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning for selling coal short weight. The charges were preferred by the sealer of weights and measures, Carl A. Carlson. Mr. Damon said that whatever wrong there may have been was entirely unintentional as he would “rather give a man 200 pounds of coal than take any away from The sealer of weights and measures testified that at 10 o’'clock yesterday morning e met one of the W. L. Demon company’s coal wagons at the corner of Church and Elm streets and had the driver take the load back onto ‘the scal The order was for 2,700 pounds coal and the gross welght was 4,716. The weight of the wagon subtracted from the = gross weight showed that instead of- 2,700 pounds of coal there was only 2,695 pounds of coal. The order was consigned to Frank L. Vibberts. Builder Is Also Fined. A similar protest of. unintentional wrong on.the part of Albin Carlson, a member of the firm of Carlson & Torrel, llkewise proved unavailing and a fine of $26 and costs was levied for' violation of the building laws. Building Inspector Arthur N. Ruther- ford testified thit Mr. Carlson’s firm has erected a frame garage at 19 Rus- sell street without having taken out a permit. ' Mr. Carlson admitted the charge, but explained that it was for- getfulness on his part that was re- sponsible. He expressed the opinion that it would be much better for the city official to warn him than to ar- rest him, but the judge reminded him that this was the thirdtime he has bullt structures without permits and it is not the business of city officlals to carry the burdens of individuals. Mr. Carlson appealed from the fine. A fine of $15 and costs was imposed on Louls. Whikis for reckles driving. He was arrested by Officer Michael Massey at the corner of Main - and Fast Main streets last night after he had driven his car on the wrong side of .the street and collided with a machine driven by John Johnston of Francis street. Joseph Icosky was placed on pro- bation and ordered ‘to eupport his wife and Mike Basa, employed by the Bristol Brass company, Wwas sent back to Bristol. He was arrested for drunkenness. Ho explained that he is’ receiving compensation from this factory for a broken &rm and it was this money which paid for his boose.

ICKINSON DRUG CO.. o ¥lase Needed for Success Already more than 100 men have volunteered ‘to do all the work they can on the municipal farm and add- ed interest is being given the move- ment each day. This morning Pro- fessor Arthur J. Slade, a farming ex- pert from the Connecticut Agricul- tural college, visited the Tracy farm in Stanley Quarter with the mayor and made a number of important suggestions. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that many more workers will be needed for this farm- ing project if it is to be at all suc- cessful.. These volunteers must not be from any particular class or group, but should be thoroughly representa- tive of the cosmopolitan nature of the city. The first work will be to cut up for seed purposes several hundred bushels of potatoes for early planting. Not only will it fe necessary for men to volunteer their services, but there will also be some work in this con- nection that the women can do and already tentative plans are under | way for the organization of ' volun- teer squads to be recruited from the ranks of various girls and women's organizations. A new suggestion in reference to the garden plans was made to the mayor today in the following letter from H. T Sloper, manager of the New Btitain Gas Light company: “I congratulate you and the city of New Britain that you are attempting to do something toward additional food supply for, the coming winter. ‘Whether your attempt meet with success or not; that you are doing something instead of talking is worth ‘while. Y “There is one phase of the question that I should like to call to your at- tention. “I estimate that there are in the town of New Britain about 10,000 families. They will require from one year to another at least 150,000 bush- el of potatoes. Potatoes if planted lo- cally will be ready to eat from the middle of July on. Potatoes planted with the idea that they are for win- ter use should be harvested from the middle of September on. “Supposing that we succeed in rals- ing nearly enough for our own use where and how are they to be kept? 150,000 bushels equal 250 carloads. A large proportion of them have got to be stored from one to seven months. “If the place where they are to be kept is too warm they will spoil. If it 1s too cold they will freeze. Some provision should be made for storing large quantities of root crops for any- one and everyone who offers them giving a receipt for them when re- ceived and arranging to deliver them as needed to their owmers during the ‘winter. ‘“Undoubtedly, there are & few suitable places to store a few hun- dred bushels now, but when you con- sider the large amount that will bs necessary to see us through the win- ter, it seems as though' some ar- rangement should be made in ad- vance.” NARROWLY AVERTS ACCIDENT. Joseph 'W. Welis of 216 South Main street, while driving his auto in Hart- ford yesterday, narrowly.averted ser- iously injuring Willam Simons of 78 Greenwood street, this city- Simons stepped in front of Wells' car, but had sufficient presence of mind to sit on the bumper and clutch the radia- tor until the car was stopped. WATER BOARD MEETS. W. B. Rossberg was re-elected chairman of the water board at the annual meeting last night. P. J. Egan was re-elected clerk and James Tow- ers was once more chosen as super- intendent. The board voted to per- mit the public works department to use the Shuttle Meadow highway to store equipment to be used in repair- ing the highway- TO USE GERMAN VESSELS. Five Will Carry Hemp From Phillip- pines to United States. Washington, May 15.—Former ‘Ger- man steamships in Philippine ports will be utilized to bring hemp from the islands to the United States for the manufacture of binder twine, sorely needed for farming operations in this country. In announcing the step today, Sec- retary Redfield said that the steamers Mark Bechum and Princess Alice ‘would sail from the Philippines soon with cargoes of hemp. Three other large vessels formerly owned in Ger- many ‘are being repaired for similar use. JOURNALISTS TO TALK PEACE. Amsterdam, via London, May 15.— A Budapest despatch says the Hun- garian Soclety of Journalists has de- clded to ask the international union of journalists to call a congress of members to discuss the question of a speedy peace. Journalists in all neu- tral and belligerent .countries will be asked to attend, and it is planned to hold the congress in some neutral capital. NAVY ENDISTMENTS PASS 2,000.
