Treason charges against Matthew Maczk’ of 104 Dwight street, veteran Connecticut company motorman, &ar- rested in connection with the distribu- tion of anti-draft eirculars about the city, were formally: nolled as & result of his re-arrest by federal authorities. As a 'result of a conference between Prosecuting Attorney Klett.and United | States = District Attorney Thomas J. Bpellacy, the case was continued from Monday to this morning under bonds of $2,600. The re-arrest by federal authorities automatically takes the case from the jurisdiction of the lo- cal court although the formal nolle Was necessary. 1 IMPROVEMENTS IN ELESTRIQ SERYICE sulted in caustic accusations by Pros- | ting Attorney George W.

Waterbury—New ' Transformers for Sub Station. The Housatonic Power company is replacing the two aluminum wire cir- cuits ‘on the transmission e ' . be- tween this city and Waterbury with heavy copper wire. This work when completed will double the present current carrying capacity ‘of these lines. The two circuits parallel each other on the same crossarms. 'As ‘one circuit has to be in operation all the time to supply current to New ritain and ‘as the voltage carried on is line is 38,000 volts, the work of anging: the “the adjacent cir- Cuit has to be done very carefully in order not to make a contact with the lve circuit- Yesterday afternoon a wire slipped from the -grasp of one of the linemen and whipped across the live ‘circuit, ‘causing ‘a short ¢ircuit on that line. In consequénce, ‘the power supply in the city was interrupted for a few minutes until the trouble ‘could be cleared up. Heayy concrete foundations have Just been installed at the Black Rock sub station for the installation of seven very large mew transformers which, when installed, will more than double the transforming capacity of this sub station. Three of these new transformers are already placed in a temporary position on the sub sta- tion site while three more of these transformers’will be placed this week. Steel work has been ordered to sup- port the overhead wires and when this work is completed the Housataonic Power company ,will have one of the most up-to-date sub. stations in New England. This work has been made necessa: by the rapid growth of the Unit Electri¢ Light and Wateg company's lighting and power business in this city. GARAGE AND AUTO AFIRE. E. Allen Moore and James M. Curtin Require Firemen'’s Help. Two fires of minor -importance with practically no damage excepting to nerves of persons connected with the property furnished work for members of the fire department early today. Engine Co. No. 4 was called out on still alarm about 7 this morning to quench a blaze in the garage on the property - of E. Allen Moore, presi- dent of the Stanley Works, at Sunny- ledge. Painting supplies and a basket of waste were on fire, an undeterm- ined cause being responsible. A small amount of chemicals was used, the loss. being .of practically no amount, although there was much smoke and fearful feelings on the part of resi- dents in that section. At 8:15 Bngine Co. No.'l was called to Holmes avenue and West Main street. to extinguish flames in- and tabout the radihitor of J. M. Curtin’s big Packard touying car. Crossed wires are considered responsible and chemicals :sufficed to check the trouble: Damage is confined to re- placing of the wires. The car was to have been used to convey the groom and Gther members of the wed- ding party to Unionville, where the ceremony was scheduled for this morning, Another car was used and the machine put out of use was left by the wayside to receive the atten- tion of the firemen and be claimed later by members of the family.

The fourth annual exhibition of the drawings and art work'of the pupils of the public schools, which s being held at the Museum of Ngtural His- tory and Art of the New Britain In- stitute, will come to a close on Friday evening of this week. All who have visited the exhibition are surprised at the amount of space it occupies, and the large number of really clever things on display. Many parents ex- claim, “We never did anything like that in our school days” A woman who had attended a boarding school as a girl made the statement , that children of today have greater ad- vantages in the public schools than young people had a few years ago in high priced private schools. Be that as it may, New Britain public school Children have at least as good an op- portunity of becoming as well versed in various arts as any children in the country, and that they take advantage of it, 15 made very evident by the ex- amples of their work on display at the museum. All teachers and par- ents, as well as all persons who are interested in what the children are doing' should visit the exhibition be- fore it closes.
