The span, which is about eighty feet in length, is a complete’] wreck and beyond all repair as the result of overweight. The truck, a five ton affair owned by H. L. Immich of Meriden, is at the present time “buried {n the waters of the pond with the greater part of the bridge. _ It was about 2:30. o’clock yester- day afternoon that the truck, driven by Dennis R. McMahon of 94 Wind- sor street, Meriden, came along Main street, Kensington, headed toward the south. The driver had been to New Britain where he had loaded a three ton hoisting engine, consigned to Lewis A. Miller, the Meriden con- tractor. He had attempted to take the main highway but the height of his load would not _permit it to go under the railroad ¥ridge and for this reason the trip over the other road was attempted. All went well until’ the entire load was on the iron bridge when there was a sudden snap which was followed by the drop of the truck and its contents into the pond. Employes of the New Britain Gas Light Company were early on hand to repair the broken main which spans the pond at this point. McMahon was carried down with the truck. After he had worked his way out from beneath the cab of the machine he perched on the front wheel, which was the only thing showing above the water, until a plank was put out from the shore for him to crawl in on. He was prac- tically unhurt but badly scared. Two boys who were swimming in the pond had a narrow escape from serious in- jury when the bridge went dowm One of the youngsters swimming under the structure heard the creaking and made his way to the shore just as the truck ~came down. The other was not as fortunate for a small plece of iron flying to one side hit him in-the nose and, besides making it blee®, gave him a bad start. l It is claimed that there w no creaking to warn the driver of what was coming as the structure went down with a crash carrying truck, load and driver. It was only last week that the bridge was inspected with the intention of having it re- paired within a short time. At the time of inspection it was considered i that the bridge could be repaired so that it would last at least ten years longer but the accident of yesterday ¥ will call for a complete new bridge. People in the habit of using the| highway bridge at this point were today compelled to take the back road in order to get by with their teams or automobiles. Foot pas- sengers made their way over the dam which is located a short distance be- low the bridge. It will be several days before the truck and engine can be hoisted to dry land again and ac- cording to one of the morning papers there is a law sult hinted at. Just what a new firon bridge to span the pond at this point would cost is not known at the present time but it is thought that a first class structure of the kind needed would be in the neighborhood of $4,000. Before the present high cost of mate- rial the bridge could have been put in position for about $2,080, which is half of the present gost. The old bridge was one of the oldest iron structures in the state having been in place between forty and fifty years. It was erected to take the place of the old covered bridge whick was at one time used at this point. ‘Warning for Trespassers. A number of posters for use on the town bulletin boards have been re- ceived by Town CIOPE Bhaw from the M food nuw!y imittee and wil be posted within a few days.

AMERICANS FOR ACTION. ——— Believe in Navy Assauming Offensive Ageinst Germany. ‘Washington, June 26.—American naval officers showed great interest in the demand of Winston Spencer Churchill, former First Lord of the British Admiralty, for aggressive ac- tion by the allied fleets, especially since the entry of America into the war. Officers were inclined to agree with Mr. Churchill. The first effect of an offensive pol- icy by the entente and American na- vies, it was stated, would be to make the Germans man their coast artil- lery. While the number of men de- manded for this would be relatively small, the amount of materials con- sumed would be considerable, and this accomplishment alone, it was de- clared, would be more than any other achieved by the allied fleets except- ing the closure of the sea to enemy commerce and the protection of allied trade. It was not believed that the allied navies ought immediately to attack German naval bases. Bases, it was said, are “loaded.” but the very strength of land fortifications was sajd to be their weakness also, as they are fixed and unable to protect other points on the coast. American officers asserted that should the strength of the allied fleéts be used against Germany, the submarine menace would fade like snow in the sun. Plainvllle News WELL WATER FOR SUMMER MONTHS Supply From Reservoir Will Be Given Up This Week PROGRAM FOR GRADUATION Water Company Sinks Eight New Wells at Mountain View—Miss Sprague to Lecturs on “Food Con- scrvation”—Auto Attached. Announcement was made today by the Water company through its su- perintendent, Joseph N. McKernan, that by the end of the current week the use of the reservoir will be dis- continued and for the balance of the summer the town will be supplied with water drawn from the welis in the Mountain View district. The flushing of pipes in preparation for the change in supply was started to- day and as a result the water took on a muddy appearance. This condition will prevall until the pipes are thor- oughly flushed as,the operation dis- turbs the sediment at the bottom of the mains and the dead ends. The announcement of the com- pany’s intention to return to the wells for the supply will be welcomed by the townspeople as the water served during the past week has been unsatisfactory. At this season of the year the vegetable growth in the reservoir starts to ripen with the result that the water becomes nau- seating ih flavor and odor. During the t few weeks the company has eight additional wells sunk at the pumping station in Mountain View. Last year, especially during August, the amount of water used by the town was almost in ex- cess of the capacity of the wells and it was necessary to keep the pumps in operation part of the night. By driving extra wells this trouble, it is believed, will be eliminated and it is expected an adequate supply will be obtained during the day, the over- flow which is’forced into the stand- pipe on the top of the mountain serving during the night. Superintendent McKernan said this mrning that the pumps will be in operation Saturday providing the work of flushing the mains is com- pleted by that time. Otherwise the change in the method supply will be deferred until Monday. - Graduation Program. The program of the exercises to be held in the Town hall tomorrow afternoon when members of the graduating class in the Grammar school will receive their diplomas was announced this morning by Prin- cipal O. L. Judd. Forty-nine chil- dren will be graduated from the 'school ‘at that time. Because of the size of the class admission to the hall will have to be restricted to those having tickets. The clagss which will bid farewell to the school has selected ‘“Victory” as its motto, Red, White and Blue as its class colors and the American flag for its emblem. " The exercises tomorrow will take on a patriotic color and the program will be appropriate for the times. The order of exercises will be as fol- lows: Priest’s March—from “Athalia”.’..

The second of a series of food ral- lies scheduled for Plainville will be held Thursday night at 8:15 in the Town hall. The speaker will be Miss M. Estella Sprague of the Connecticut Agrioultural college at Storrs, who will discuss the subject, “Conservation of Food.” Miss Sprague is an excep- tionally fluent speaker and is rated as one of the best woman orators in the state. She is taking an active part in the prosecution of the war, is a member of the state council of de- fense and is also on the state food commission. She 'has a message of importance to every man and woman in the town, and there should be a large crowd on hand to her her. Mrs. H. A. Castle, chairman of the Canning club’s committee, announced this morning that the first canning demonstration will be given in the Town hall next Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The demonstrator will be Mrs. Jullan Deane, teacher of domes- tic science in the Hartford High' school. Mrs. Deane has been gelécted e | 3 ceeesaeenaiaians ch - as canning demonstrator for the Hartford County League, and the les- son she will give here Monday will mark her.first appearance in that capacity. Other demonstrations are to be arranged for during the summer. Auto Attached. Acting for Herbert Knox Smith as counsel for the plaintiff, Constable Philip Marino has placed under ' at- tachment an auto owned by Walter K. ‘Wagstaft of Pittsfield, Mass. The ma- chine is held at Cook’s garage pend- ing the furnishing of a bond. Mr. Wagstaff has been made de- fendant in a suit for $200 brought by John Hopkinson of Farmington. The latter alleges that while driving his machine in Farmington on June 16 Mr. Wagstaff’s car crashed into him. He sets forth that the defendant was responsible for the accident and he seeks to recover for the damage caused to his machine. Papers in the suit are made re- turnable before the court of common pleas on the first Tuesday in Septem- ber. Prospective Pastor to Preach. Rev. E. C. Gillette of Canaan, may be the new pastor of the Congrega- tional church to succeed Rev. F. Grant, who resigned a few months ago to accept a call to the East Hamp- tof church. The committee appointed some time ago to secure candiadtes for Mr. Grant's place recently heard Mr. 'Gillette preach, and it is under- stood discussed with him the matter of his coming to Plainville. That the congregation might have a chance to listen to him the com- mittee has arranged to have the can- didate give te sermon on Sunday, July 8. Since Mr. Grant resigned services at the church have been conducted by ev. O. W. Barker of Hartford, who ‘will continue as the Sunday preach- er until a new pastor is secured. ‘Views Scene 8f Accident. Accompanied by his counsel, Jacob ‘Winkle, who is now under a bond of $1,000 pending disposition of his casé by the superior court, was In town yesterday afternoon to confer with Wwitnesses to the killing of Thomas Maloney, aged 12, who lost his life last Thursday when, while playing “peggy” in the highway, he was run down by Mr. Winkle’s auto. ‘Winkle was bound over to the su- perior court as the result of the acci- dent by Justice A. H. Condell, who preferred to have the upper tribunal take jurisdiction. ‘Witnesses to, the trngedy are in- clined to the belief that Winkle could not avold the accident and it is likely that State’s Attorney Alcorn will nolle the charge against him. Made Good Showing, Although but a few days were given in which to make the canvass, workers for the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A, army camps campaign made an excel- | lent showing in Plainville, their re/ port presented in New Britain yester- day by 8. S. Gwillim proving that they had raised $2,697.63. Plainville’s share”of the fund was figured at $2,600 and because of the late /start made by the workers it was not be- leved that pledges for that amount could be secured. The response made by the people approached on the sub- ject, however, was exceedingly gen- erous and Plainville’s returns were :a big help to the New Britain district, which reported yesterday subscrip- tions of $123,800, exceeding the allot- ment by over $12,000. The largest contributor to the local fund was the Trumbull Electric com- pany, which subscribed to the extent of $1,000. Collections in the churches also aided considerably. The Church of Our Lady of Mercy with her two missions contributea l Vai --the Veranda and here is where to get the best veranda Furni It is comfortable, durable, sightly, and there’s an finite variety from which you may choose. Come in. $212.37 as a result of the collection taken up Sunday. This was in ad- dition to the pledges of individual members of the congregation. As was the case in the Liberty Loan, Plainville displayed her pa- triotisni and gave additional evidence of her willingness to do her “bit”’ in the successful prosecution of the war for humanity. Funeral of Mre. Beach. Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Beach, who died Sunday, were held this afternoon at her home on Whit- ing street. Rev, J. G. Ward, pastor of the Baptist church, of which she was one of the oldest members, offi- clated. Interment was in the Forestville cemetery. Oonservator for Mrs. Ké¢hoe. Judge George R. Byington of the probate court yesterday appointed James J, Graham as conservator for Mrs. Eliza Kghoe. Mrs. Kehoe has been too 11l to look after her own affairs for same time and the conservator was named to.|: comply with' the/legal formalities at- tending a transfer of power of attor- ney. Mrs. Kehoe until her illness was employed in the local mill of the Bristol Manufacturing com] Hope for her recovery has been abandoned by attending physicians, Brief Items.
