She was thrown forcibly from the vehicle to the ground, but only sustained minox injuries. Neither the automobile or the carriage suffered any material damage. According to reports, Goodrich was going south and, being blinded by the rays from the lights of another auto- | wagon mobile coming in an opposite direc- tion, did not see the horse and wagon stationed at the side of the road. It is also claimed that Mr. Sutton’s dit not carry any lights, at least it is alleged that pone were lighted. About midnight a party of alleged “joy riders” from Meriden, all col- ored, crashed into a tree on Berlin street. The auto was practically de- molished and at 3 o’clock a wrecking crew from a garage in Meriden towed the vehicle to that town. It was ru- mored about this morning that one of the members of the party sustained {a broken leg, but this report could not he verified.

DRAFT BILL PASSES HOUSE IN CANADA Will Now Go To Senate Where Favor- able Action Is Consid- ered Certain. Ottawa, July 25.—The Conscription Bill passed the house of commons yesterday by a majority of 54. It now goes to the senate, where its speedy enactment into law is assured by the presence of a substantial ma- Jority supporting the government. The majority upon the third read- ing in the commons was nine below that given when the principle of con- scription was adopted on second read- ing. This was due to absence of 2 number of conscriptionists. There was no practical change in the line-up. English speaking con- servative members voted solidly for the bill and 22 of the English speak- Ing liberal supporters of Sir Wilfrid Laurier broke away and voted for the government measure. The remainde» of Sir Wilfrid's followers voted with him against conscription, and were joined by five French members who were elected to support the gov- ernment. most entirely English and the against was very largely French. vote WRECK AT BERKSHIRE JC.

When he found the policeman was apparently in earnest, however, he brought his flight to a sudden stop and without further trouble accom- panied his escort to the lock-up. Wilsky, a ‘six footer” with a splen- did physique left his place in the Bristol Brass Mill Monday and en- listed in the National Guard. He was given leave of absence until today when he was ordered to report at the state armory in Hartford. Before donning the booze prohibiting khaki of Uncle Sam, Wilsky decided to celebrate and he gave John Barley- corn a stiff battle. In the Clarendon cafe he caused a disturbance and threatened to annihilate the other patrons. Constable Marino and he placed him under arrest. As the officer started for the town | building with his handcuffed pris- oner, Dan Martin of Meriden, also in a fighting mood, stepped in his path and threatened to interfere with | the arrest. Constable Marino grabbed *him too and started with the pair for the lock-up. Wilsky broke away and leaving his other prisoner, started after him. Wilsky had the officer’s handcuffs and as the latter was not | anxious to lose them he ran after the escaping prisoner instead of hold- | ing_Martin. Wilsky was doing a marathon in record-breaking time and when the distance between him and the officer { began to lensthen the constable | threatened to shoot. The erstwhile captive looked over his shoulder and | advising the pursuing policeman to shoot straight or he would ‘“‘get air and Wilsky made up his mind | that life and he halted. After he was locked up, Constable Marino started a search for Martin but was unable to locate him. Later in the evening Edwin H. Hills re- ported to the policeman that there was an intoxicated stranger loltering around his factory. found the individual in question to be his quarry and he made a second | start towards the Town hall with him. Martin resisted but a couple of | blows from the constable’s club sub- | dued/him and he made the remainder of the journey without causing fur- ther trouble. Both men will be arraigned in court late this afternoon. This morning Wilsky was.anxious to be released that he might report for duty as a soldier. He claimed that sixteen dollars was stolen from him while he was enjoving Plain- ville's hospitality vesterday and he wag attempting to recover his money when he caused the disturbance.

Herbert Knox Smith, chairman of | the exemption board for the second | | division, which comprises all the | towns in the Fifth senatorial district, | of which Plainville is a part, expects that the young men whose names first appear on the liability-for-service list will be notified to present themselves for physical examination next week. | The official list of the draft is now on | the way here and by Friday it is like- 1y the names of those who have to re- port first will be posted. Their owners will be given five days in which to ap- pear before Dr. T. G. O’'Connell of Bristol, or the assistants he may des- | ignate, to undergo a physical exam- ination. Those who have claims for exemption will not be heard until they are examined for physical de- fects. As it is expected that this divisien | will have to furnish over 400 men, it | will probably be necessary to call | 1,000 for examination before the quota | can be filled. The board will probably have their meetings so arranged that the physi- cians will De in Plainville some day next week to permit the lccal young men to be examined without leaving town.

The assembly this year was success- ful in every way and the officers were greatly pleased with the results ac- comaplished. Financially it was said the meeting was not a disappointment and it is expected that the reports of the of- ficers will show receipts to be larger than the total expense.
