Tomorrow Louls Quinto a resident of. South Main street, New Britain. was raigned before Judge Griswold this | merning in court to answer the charge of alleged criminal assault | upon Stella Witherell, aged 14 of the | town of Berlin. He pleaded not guil- | ty and Attorney Joseph G. Wood nf‘ New Britain, who represented him. asked for an adjournment until next | week, glving as his reason for such a | move that he was not conversant with | details of the affair. He also asked that Quinto be released under a rea- | gonable bond Judge Griswold \ thought that the bonds should be | heavy as it was customary to place‘ Jarge bonds on such serfous charges. Regolo Neri, of Fast Main street, New Britain furnished bonds for the ac- cused which were placed at $1,500. [The case will be heard next Tuesday. Jvidently knowing that.an adjourn- meut would take place, neither Nelson | Boudi, who filed the complaint, or the | nlleged victim appeared in court this morning. ar- According to report the alleged as- ° sault took place Thursday afternoon Malina, which has been used for some to house hees in, was the scene of the fire. By the time that a crowd of men had gathered to offer assistance, the flames were under way and the sav- ing of the building impossible. According to report and the insur- ance policies which Mrs. Malina has, remuneration, if any is given, will be slight and probably not enough to cover the loss. . The polictes specified that the house. barn and additions were insured, but owing to the fact that the structure destroyed is about | | forty feet away from the main barn, there ic a question as to whether it | can be identifled as an addition. All of the bees and the honey in the building were destroyed and citizens this morning expr d their sym- pathy at Mrs. Malina's loss, as she has been a resident and favorably known by the townspeople for many vears. She has partially earned her living from the houey which she sold. v At the Churches. Berlin Congregational church, Rev. S. A. Fiske, pastor—Morning worship will be held in the church at 10:45.

E. when Quinto, who was driving by the Beckett farm in the Blue Hills, which | is tenanted by Souci, stopped to sell sonle produce. Taking advantage of the absence of the male tenant of | the farm, according to Miss Wither- ell's statement, he assaulted her, Quinto admits having visited the garmhouse but stoutly denies the as- sault. A complaint was made the follow- jng morning by Nelson BSouci to Prdsecutor W. H. Gibney and J..J. Hackett, one of the town's officers, was dispatched to New Britain, where, accompanied by Bamforth of that city, a search was begun for the man. He was not ar- rested until late last night by Ser- geant Johnson of the New Britain police force and turned over to the ! town authorities this morning. Quinto is married and has several chi.dren.

York, July 28.—Franz Rinte- len, the German plotter, who came ta the United States in April, 1915, to in- stigate strikes in American munition factories, and who according to the federal authorities also tried to stir up trouble between this country and Mexico is not enjoying the best of health.

Roth, who | rescued when the steamer Kansan was sent to the bottom by a German sub- davs furlough at the home of his mother, Mre. John Gihson of Bank street. Young Howard had a thrilling trip and his experience he will re- member for years. Transferred from a battleship on which he was serving as a seaman, the young mian was assigned to the naval crew placed on board the Kansan to protect the great chip and her $3,000,- 000 cargo in the vovage across the At- lantic. The ship was but a short dis- tance from a French port when she was attacked, the submarine firing the deathi dealing torpedo as the vessel wag within a few miles of the coast. The attack was made at midnight and while the ship went to the bottom in a short time most of those on board were saved. Young Howard reports that he was in the water far several minuttes, althcugh it seemed to him like hours, before he was rescued. The gun crew and the steamer's workers were taken to a French port where they were cared for in hos- pitable maner for several days. Aft- ! er their return to this country all | were given a well earned furlough. The Plainville sailor has not lost heart as a result of his experience and he is ready to take a similar as- signment if necessary when he re- turns to duty. Fight Potato Lice Cheaply. Joseph A. Fagan, Connecticut’s po- tato king, has discovered a cheap and effective way of fighting the potato ‘lice and he believes that if farmers and amateur gardeners use it fre- quently they will be able to defy the pest and harvest a good crop in the fall. Instead of buying nicotine which | makes the cost of the spray used over | $2 a barrel, Mr. Fagan offers a recipe in which the juice of tobacco stems fashion and the whole poured fresh water. A pound of tobacco stems, he fig- ures, is enough to make about twelve gallons of spray, quantity for a small garden. The stems sell for but 214 cents a pound. Mr. Fagan has used the tobacco spray on his own farm with satis- factory results. He has fifteen acres of potatoes under cultivation and he ;x][;ects to harvest a big crop in the all. into Change Trolley Station. An agitation has been started the changing of the trolley station a the center to a point +at least two car lengths from the present location towards the east to minimize the danger which results from the park- ing of automobiles on the highway in this locality. Auto trucks, pleasure cars and teams line up along the curb from the center to the post office during the daytime and when the trolley cars i stop to discharge and take on pas- sengers the congestion is at times so great that there is considerable dan- ger of accidents. Towns have no authority to make traffic rules prohibiting motorists from leaving their machines in the street. Consequently the changing of the stopping place of the trolley cavs appears to be the sole solution of th. problem. This is made difficult because of the fact that the wide stretch of highway at the center has to b» traversed by people to reach the trolley cars. Nevertheless it be- lieved the danger would be less than it is under the present arrangement. Sunday at Camp Grounds. The Rines brothers, noted evange- lists, will conduct the services at the camp grounds tomorrow when the formal opening of the Methodist camp meeting will take place.

They have been engaged for the entire meeting ang/ will be heard daily. The E rth league continued its institute today. There were several addresses by ministers from many parts of the state. There is a big and steady growing population at the grounds and the in- dications are that the attendance w! exceed that of previous meetings. At the Churches. Episcopal—The rector, Rev. R. H.
