It is understood that this second in- vasion of the town has been brought to the attention of the department of justice, and immgqdiate steps are being taken to apprehénd the nefarious malcontents. Gun Clubs Afiiliate. , The first shoot of the season of the Mattabessett Gun club was held t the state fair grounds last Satur- day. This was also the first shoot of the affiliated clubs of New Britain and Berlin. For a number of years past every effort has been made by the members of the local club to have the New Britain Gun club join its ranks but nothing ever came of the matter ‘until this spring. With the addition of the New Britain mem- bers the Mattabessett club now has a membership of seventy-five which ‘makes it one of the strongest organ- izations of its kind in the state. The next shoot will be held on June 30, which will, also be beginners day. and at that time the new members will try for the Du -Pont Powder company trophy. Last year the prize was awarded to Roy Gibney. The afternoon’s activities will open at 2:30 o’clock- The club will carry on the summer program along the same lines as those of last year and it Is not thought that war conditions will in any. way hurt the schedule.

A—Dimes Gets Commission As Sergeant—Briefs. Planning to wage a vigorous cam- paign in the interests of food con- servation, members of the Plainville Canning Aub through its committee chairman, Mrs. H. A. Castle, an- nounced this morning that arrange- ments have been made for a series of meetings at which an effort will be made to bring to the attention of housewives and the men as well, the néed of increasing crop production and the practicing of economy in the kitchens of the various homes. Local women interested in the movement propose to make a deter- | mined effort to see that the “stay-at- homes” will play their part in the successful conduct of the war as well as those who will have to shoulder muskets, and, during the next few months they will be busy spreading their propaganda and giving practi- cal lessons in food conservation. ‘The first of the series of mestings will- be held Friday night at 7:45 in the Town hall and will be open to men as well as women. The speaker will be County Agent Moore, represent- ing the Conmecticut food dictators, who will talk on general food condi- tions, showing the necessity for enor- mous cropy during the next two years even in the event of a sudden termi- nation of the war. There will be another meeting on Thursday night of next week, prob- ably in the Town hall, at which there will be an address by Miss Sprague of the Connecticut Agricultural col- lege at Storrs. Plans have also been made for & gathering of the women of the town on the afternoon of July 2, when Mrs. Julian Deane, county demonstrator, will give a demonstration of canning, explaining how fruits and vegetables can best be preserved. This session is likely to prove very popular with housewives and it will undoubtedly at- tract & large number of people. Other plans will be made from time to time to keep up interest in the movement for which the women are to organize and the indications are that Platuville housewives will be kept busy for several months. Dimes Gets Commission Joseph F. Dimes of Crown street has received word of the promotion of his son, Fred J. Dimes, to a sergeant in the Ulited States cavalry, with which he has served for the past three years. Young Dimes was with the troops on the border during the re- cent Mexican trouble. He is recog- nized as one of the best marksmen in his regiment. The young man has been sent to Council Bluffs, Ohio, where he has been placed in charge of a recruiting station. Anxious to see service and play a more spectacular part in the war, the young sergeant has asked to be re- lleved of his duties at the recruiting station that he might be returned to the. line. “He is hopeful that he will be among the mounted soldiers select- ed to go to Europe. “Boston Guy” Jadled Expressing regret because e was not allowed under the law to impose a more severé penalty, Justice Condell yesterday afternoon sentenced Jack Barry, who claims to be a “Boston Guy,” to thirty days in jail. ' The ac- cused was charged with intoxication. . When arraigned, Barry, who is a husky chap, protested against his ar- rest. Admitting that he was drunk he claimed to have th ght to a little recreation as long as it ‘was at his own pense. Disgusted with him, Justice Condell interrupted his ‘“ad- dress to the court” by imposing sen- tence and ordering the officer to “take him aw: Trolley Schedule Changed {The schedule on the Bristol trolley line was changed today by order of the management and in the future the cars will leave two minutes earlier than under the old arrangement.

EXPECTS ARREST OF STUDENT’S -SLAYER Sensation P;m?ed—in Case of lnmw Man New York, June 19.—That John V, Piper, the University of Vermont graduiate who was working his way through Rutgers cpllege. at New Brunswick, N. J., and who mysteri- ously disappeared February 12 last, was murdered has been fully estab- lished, says Prosecutor Joseph E. Stricker of Middlesex county. Unless the prosecutor's plans go awry the murderer will be under arrest within torty-eight hours. Mr, Stricker admitted at his home in rth Amboy last night that ‘the suspect had been trapped after months of patient work by his office, and that the arrest would create a sensation. It is asserted by persans engaged in the investigation, though not by the prosecutor, that persons well known socially in New Brunswick may' be involved, though they were not directly connected with the crime itself. ‘While the prosecutor has refused to give the slightest inkling of the suspect's identity pending arrest, it has been learned from anather source that the man’s standing in the com- munity is exceptipnally high. He is out of the city just now. The prosecutor’s case has been ma- terially developed by the finding of Piper's body on English Line Road, four miles out of Spotswoad, las¢ Saturday. This established the fact that Piper had been shot to death with a revdlver carrying the same size bullet as did the pistdl found on Morris Avenue, New Brunswick, the day after the disappearance, The body was discovered close to the road by two men emplayed in scraping the surface of the macadam, Coronér John Hubbard, who has un- earthed much of the evidence him- self, gave it as his opinion that the man met death about the time he vanished, and in this he was borne out by County Physician Carroll, who performed the autopsy. Inquiry established the fact beyand doubt that the body taken to the spot where it was found mnot earlier than Friday night, for on Friday the men who made the dis- covery had gone over the same sec- tion of the road and would have seen RANGES We have & line of Gas Ranges and Gas Stoves yor'll mot the equal of anywhere.

E FLINT-B the corpse. Moreover, the prosecutor admits that he has taken possession of the automobile in which it was transported. The amasing part of the mystery is that the body could have heen kept ‘four' months almost to a day without being discavered. If the prosecutor )no‘u where the hiding piace was he has given no intimation of /the fact, but_he does say that when all the facts are known they will: prove most astonishing. - “I cannot disclose much in connec- tion with the caseé” for fear that the guilty will escape,” he said. The evidence bears out‘the theory the authorities have held all along. This that the murder was ' com- mitted not far from the place where Piper was living with Mis wife and two small children, eking out a living during his post-graduate course by tending the furlimces of wealthy neighbors. The theory of private de- tectives engaged by Charles 8. Al- drich of Troy, N. Y., a step-brother of Piper, was that the body had been burned in one of the furnaces for which Piper cared, Loss of Life on Troop Ship Placed at 63. ; London, June 19.°-The British transport Cameronia, with a small number of troops on board, was tor- pedoed and sunk by an enemy sub- marine in the Eastern Mediterranean on June 2, it was officially announced last night.

'POLITICAL LINBS DISSOLVE Former U. §, Minister to Venesuelas Says Theve Are No Republicans or Democrats at Present. New Hayen, Conn., June 19.—Col- onel Charles H. Sherrill, minister to Venezuela under the Taft administra- tion, said as toastmaster at the Yale law school ajumni banquet yesterday that there were no more, republicans or democrats. Before the % ! thers were two instl; uuon‘:‘{nmm. -‘:'l the republican and the democratic parties, but the only partisan politics indulged in now by the republican party was to support- the president better than his own party was deing. Ex-President Taft spoke of the legal aspect of the extreme authority given to President Wilson during the war. “It is proposed,” he said, *to put into legislative form proposals for the president to do things which could not be done in peace. The making of ‘war has compelied this. It illustrates the wgnderful elasticity of our consti- tution. We agree that our country must have ‘all the powers that any country has when at war: There is danger that these war conditlons will lead to dangerous experiments, What it necessary is the education of our people in the ways of the- common law of England and the guarantees of Anglo-Saxon liberty. Every time departure it made from Angio-Saxon traditions it gives some . goose-flesh sensations to all those who.knew what those guarantees are and these goose- flesh sensations are going to save us. It is the atmosphere of Angilo-Saxon liberty that we may rely on in time of war when arbitrary power is given and when the fate of the world hangs in the balanc b Herbert Houston spoke of changes in world outlook caused by the war, and emphasized the wisdom of send- ing an American mission to Russia. —_— BANK SUPERVISORS MEET.
