Quinto, also a member of the party loading the goods, made his escape when Mc- Mahon drove up on the night of the twenty-fourth. Up to the night that the men were caught red-handed ‘in the act of carrying away the stock they had made several sales in Ken- sington and the money had been used for drink. Doherty was employed as foreman of the farm. and Ryan was a laborer. The two men employed by McMahon had been drinking a. great deal up to the time of their arrest and the goods were sold or exchanged for liquor. All three of the men were held under $500 bonds by Judge Griswold. Fifteenth Week of Play. “The Tailormade Man,” written by Harry James Smith, Berlin’s well known playright, still continues to be one of the biggest hits of the present season in Boston. Already the play has entered into its fifteenth week at the Tremont theater and there is every possibility of its running for several weeks longer. With the ex- ception of the “Fair & Warmer” com- pany, which played Boston'during the past winter, this is the longest run made by any company during the present season. The length of the run in the “Hub” is a fine testimonial to the ability of Mr. Smith as a play- right. Grant Mitchell, one of the Cohan and Harris comedians, is play- ing the leading role in the plav. Party for Miss Cardo. Miss Elizabeth Carbo, formerly of Kensington, but now residing - in Washington, D. C., where she is in training to be a nurse, was tendered a surprise party last evening at the home of her sister, Mrs. Everett. Bar- nard, at 193 Méin street, New Britain. Mies Carbo has been visiting her par- ents since the wedding of her sister last week. Land Transfers.

He was about to use the weapon when the foreman interfered. During' the scuftle, however, one, of the men wag cut in the side although it is not knawn whether the injury was caused by the Knife or some other weapon. Constable Marino took Ciritza into custody. At the Town hall when he arrived the medical corps of the Home guard was drilling and the services of the members were enlisted, the officer having been advised that the injured ) man was badly stabbed. Lieutenant L. H. Frost and Sergeant Gage Kent hastily getting first aid appilances hurried to the car but they found that the man was ‘not sufficlently hurt to necessitate medical treatment. Constable Downing was also called into the case and after an investiga- tion he decided that Ciritza was en- tirely to blame and additiohal arrests were not warranted, Lake May Be Speaker. The committee in charge of the big “Liberty’ Loan” demonstration to be held here tonight received word this morning that Robert P. Butler se- lected as the speaker of the evening will be unable to be here. They got in touch with Attorney Thomas Mc- Kone of Hartford, who was also sug- gested for a speaker, and he agreed to be in town unless obliged to go to New London to appear in a court case, a call which he expected he might receive. In case he is unable to be here the committee has been advised that Everett J. Lake will sub- stitute for him. Both Mr, McKone and Mr. Lake are recognized ' as speakers of exceptional ability and either of them will without question give entire satisfaction. : That everything is in readiness for the parade and mass meeting was the statement of A. A. McLeod, chairman of the committee, made this morning. The sub-committees have looked after the various details of the plans in ex- cellent fashion and the affair is ex- pected to go through ' without (a hitch.’ The parade will start at 7:30 and after the streets included in the line of arch announced yesterday are covered a mass meeting will be héld at the Home Guard drill grounds on Pierce street, where an appeal to subscribe to the “Liberty Loan’” will be made. Nearly every man in town and a fair percentage of the women the committee’ expects there will be over 1,000 people in the parade. Town Flag in Line. The flag to be presented to the town by the women and children will be exhibited for the first time in the parade. Thé banner has been re- ceived by the committee in charge of the raising of funds and the _honor of carrying it in the parade will be- given to the Pussy Willow “club, four little girls who have contributed to the fund and who have otherwise shown their patriotism. The club members are the Misses Doris Gwil- lim, Esther and Florence Trumbuil and Elizabeth Benjamin, The steel pole from which the flag will fly was put in position on the soldiers’ manu- | ment plot in the center today. Because of the numerous public and private affairs of a similar char- | acter held recently it has been de- | cided to omit formalities in connection | with the presentation of the flag. | After the parade the banner will be turned over to Selectman Johnson | who will arrange to have it raised to- morrow, when Flag Day will be ob- served throughout the nation. - Stores to Close. There will be a general closing of stores for the parade tonight. Most of the mgrchants locked their "doors at noon ih conformance with the ar- rangement whereby clerks are ta be given Wednesday afternoons during June, July and August to.look after their gardens. Others will finish their business earlier than usual! (Continued On Eleventh Page). ' Malo Tt a Housshold Wort AL Teach the children to be thrifty.
