To Repair Bridge. First Selectman Willard I. Alling is making arrangements for the repair of the iron bridge which spans the lower end of Hart's pond at the ‘American Paper Goods company. Yes- terday one of the engineers of the Berlin Construction company inspect- ‘qd the bridge'and decided that it could be repaired in such a fashion that it would: not be necessary for the town to purchase a new bridge for possibly another ten years. New Planking wilt be put in and several new supports placed alongside the old ones to’ fur- there strengthen the structure. This bridge is perhops one of the oldest fron bridges in the state in actual use and as far as can be found out it has been in‘place over forty years, during which time it has rendered excellent seervice to the traveling public. The selectmen have decided to repair the old. bridge rather than build a new one becauss of the present high cost of material. Guard Receives Equipment. ‘When the local company of Home Guardsmen reported for drill at town hall last evening they were agreeably surprised to find that the long expect- ed equipment had arrived. Forty of the men received their utiiforms last evening and the remainder will , be given out at the drill Monday night. Quartermaster C, W. Stevens will be on hand at 6:45'G'clock Monday and any wishing to receive their equip- ment at that time may do so. The equipment received is for sixty-five men and consists of hats, -shirts, breeches, leggings and costs. The re- Yolvers for the officers have also ar- rived and were- distributed last eve- ning. Word has been received that the company is to report in Hartford on July 4 at 8:45 a. m. It is expected that the company will take a special car for the trip. Although nothing definite is known it is expected that the men will see active service of some kind within a very short time. The first drill with equipment will be held on Monday night ln the town hall at 8 o’'clock. 2 Berlin Briefs. Miss L, A.

POOR GERMANY HAS NORE ‘BOOGIE MEN Prisoners .ol War Raising Hob in General, So Papers Say Copenhagen, June 23.—The Ger- man newspapers today have = been furnished elaborate material for de- claring that prisoners of war in Ger- many, -particularly French, Russian and Serbian were participating in a gigantic conspiracy to interfere by sabotage with war work in. the in- terlor and were engaged on a large scale in arson, crop destruction and attempta to injure machinery. The newspapers were given dime novel detalls about the despatch of materials for arson in double-bot- tomed jam pots d of cigarettes containing disease germs for infect- ing cattle, etc. It is diMicult to tell how much these tales ave due to the honest be- lief of the officials and how much to a design to put the people on guard against possibilities. The general staft employed this maneuver on a large scale at the outbreak of the war to obtain popular co-operation in their efforts against espionage. It deliberately - invented and launched tales of \gold-laden automobiles trav- ersing Germany from France to Rus- slan and attempts of foreign agents to polson thie water supply, blow up tunnels and carry out nmlla.r ex- ploits. The plan was more than success- ful. Military automobiles were stopped everywhere and Gen. Von Heering, traveling in haste to assume his command in the army was held up and greatly delayed. Staff officers engaged in important missions were arrested by voluntary spy catchers and were lucky if not badly beaten and mobbed. The military authori- ties were soon begging the people to forgét about the spies. QUITS HIS MANAGERS. Buffalo, June 28—Tom Jones and Jack Curley, the sporting managers who met here today say that Jesse Willard has split with them as man- agers. Jones says Willard, who re- cently bought the circus for which he : formerly worked, informed them that he 'was through. Jones aad Curley declare that Willard’s action is based on the wish of the champion to side- track them before he signs up for any fights next fall or winter.

Hartford, June 23.—~Two membaers of 8quad A were seriously injured and five . others received severs bruises at 1:80 o’clock this morning when Squad A chemical, answering to the .Dbeil alarm of Box No. 46, skidded and | overturned while turning into Trinity street from Rearl strest.. The serious- ly injured are Fred Radigan, a sub- stitute, and James Hughes, a fireman. Five of the crew of seven were taken to the Hartford hospital in automo- biles. Driver O’Connor’s ‘Statement, The truck was going down Pearl street and when near Sojith Ann street, Lieutenant Joseph X. O’Connor, who was driving, put on the brakes in order to slow up before taking the curve at the Y. M. C. A. When he saw that the curve was clear, he re- leased the brakes and put on speed. He said fthat he did not notice any- thing wfong until the truck nearly past the curve when the truck began to shake. He then applied the brakes slowly and the truck pitched over. None of the men in the car who were not injured know how many. times the car turned, but think that it took a complete somersault .and then heaved over on its left side. The driver said that the front right wheel of the car gave way befare he applied the brakes. Captain Herbert Bagshaw, who is in command-of Squad.A, had the fol- lowing men, besides Lieutenant O’Connor, with him en the truck: Firemen John Tompkinson, Jamed| HOghes, Michael Hopkins, T. J. Fal- lon and Fred Radigan. J. J. Mec- Carthy, another fireman at Squad A, was not on duty, it being his day off. Radigan was pinned underneath the car and Hughes, ' according to several of the members of the squad, was thrown clear of the truck, high into the air, landing many feet from the chemical.
