Early this morning men whae. | names wers among the first 1,000 drawn started for Plainville to appear | at the town hall for physical examina- ,tign. - This is also the last day on which they will be allowed to file their claim for exemption and it is thought that a large percentage of them will plead to be excused on account of dependants. This con- clusion was arrived at because of the large foreign population and the numbers who claiming exemption for this reason in other cities. 3t is quite evident that there will be at least three slackers from this town for there are still three draft notices | at. the postoffices, two at Berlin and | one at Kensington. It is not known | whether these three men are ignorant of what is happening in the country or are neglecting their duty intention- ajly, and thereby flirting with a long jail' sentence. Their names are: Pie- tro Paradini, Mariana Di Manro and | George P. Mousch On registration ands registered ! since el practically nothing has been heard of them and no one can be found | who knows anything of their where- | abouts. If they do not put in an appgarance at the town hall today for examination it is probable that some action will be taken by the authoriites before long for their apprehension. They may be among a number of persons of forelgn extraction who have | left this vicinity. | Dr. R. M. Griswold, his assistant | Dr. Dunning and Dr. Hodgson of East Berlin, are serving with the ex- amdning board at Plainville today. Francis Deming and George Griffith have volunteered and are acting as clerks. According to a statement made by Dr. Griswold the number of men called from the district will not | be sufficient to fill the quota. This is on account of the large number of exemptions he stites. He also thinks that a second call will have to be made | soon. Over Berlin, - they appeared that time| Plainville and Southington will be examined today. 27 doctors | from various outlying towns have | volunteered their services to aid in | the work. A large number of clerks | have also been mustered into service | to help in the tremendous task. All efforts are being put forth to ex- pedite the examination of the con- scription eligibles today. | | Called to the Colors. / Philip Fagan, one of the well and lavorably known young men of the lown yesterday received his orders to 4part to New Haven immediately. He llisted about 3 months ago in the naval reserves as an oiler and had the honor of being one of the first in this town to join that unit. He will re- port for service at headquarters Mon- day. Young Fagan is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fagan. In the neighborhood of 60 men left town this morning to appear for ex- amination at Plainville. A share of these men Wwill become members of the National army. A record of their names Wwill be available and kept on record. But what of those who went be- fore.

This is certainly the Waterloo of a great many number of autoists and nearly every day one or more comes to grief. The latest accident oc- curred yesterday afternoon at Hart’s pond near the American Paper Good’'s company. It happened thus: James Priotti, the shoemaker has an auto- mobile. He has a friend visiting him. Yesterday said friend took the ma- chine out for a spin. He drove along the road which leads to Hart's rond. On approaching that body of water he navigated his vehicle where the bridge used to be but is no more. But what of that. He only broke through the barrier which has been placed be- tween the'water and the road to avoid just such performances and stopped within a foot of the briny deep. getting an waging son or Berlin Briefs, Lemonade, made in the shade.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1917. Plainviile News WNALLY FIRST IN DISTRICT’S 400" Twice Rejected for Navy, Passes Examination for New Army ALIENS REFUSE T0 FIGHT But Four of First Twenty-Four Men Examined Certified—Seven Accept- ed as Physically Fit but Three Claimed Exemption. Judging from the results obtained during the first two hours of the ex- amination to determine’ the physicol qualfications of draft candidates for the new army held at the town hall here today, the second district, of which Plalnville is a part, will have to issue a call for more registrants to re- port, only four of the twenty-four eli- gibles tested up to 10 o’clock being certified for service. Seven passed the physical examination successfullly but three of them filed clams for exemp- tion for various reasons. The town building was the scene of considerable agtivity, registrants to the number of three hundred, represent- ing Berlin, Plainville and Southington, presenting themselves to be examined. Several physicians and over a score of clerks recruited by 8. S. Gyillim, were on hand to do' their part of the work and the examining and listing of con- didates went along with a mechanical precision which indicated that the tests might be completed today. James Leo McNally, who tried twice I to enlist in the navy but was reject- ed because of his height and poor eye sight, was the first man in the dis- trict certified for the new ar Mec- Nally successfullly passed the physi- cal examination. He made no claims for exemption and was greeted by Herbert Knox Smith, chairman of the exemption board as Plainville's first representative in the district’s quota of four hundred. McNally is but five feet, two inches in height. Apparently the aliens in the dis- trict, for the most part, intend to take advantage of their prerogative to re- main at home, those who presented themselves during the early hours having made claims for exemption. They were not obliged to undergo a physical examination. The town building 1s -well adapted for the purpose which it is in use to- day. The candidates werc ushered | into the building through the rear | door and were seated in the court room, where they awaited their turn to move to the main hall for exami- nation . They were taken upstairs in groups of six or eight. Nearly half an hour was taken by the physicians for the examination of each candidate There were from:five to ten physicians time and the work proceeded satisfactorily. : Candidates were somewhat dis- turbed at first because they had to wait arount the hall for a consider- able time before they could be ex- amined, but the doctors’ aides made an effort to avoid unnecessary delay and, considering the conditions under which they worked, they did well. Plainville young men passing the physical test and claiming no exemp- tion up to 10 o’clock included, besides MeNally, Arthur George Hill an Fronk Veraldi. One young man from Berlin, John Jacob, was also certified Those passing the physical test, but claiming exemption, were Harry Mortamor Broadwell, Nicholas Beleni and Frank Saviano. Rejected because of physical dis- abilities were Robert Cole of East Berlin, Frank Leferine of Plainville, Tony Catucci of Plainville, Charles | Albert Livingstone of Plainville, Stan- Jey Roscamp Jones of Plainville, Har- old Goodhue Stearns of Berlin, Harry Litz of Plainville and Frederick Augur Morton of Plainville. Ten others claimed exemption on the | tablished | should be maintained while the exdm- twenty-three | ;... nundred King | grounds that they are aliens and were not examined. 1f the ratio of one out of six es- in the first two hours inations are in progress, it will be necessary to call candidates in addl- tion to the one thousand already no- tified before the district’s quota of can be completed.

PLAINVILLE, CONN. l estate of 8. N.. Ryder, to settle a claim of Jeremiah Lewis, thepeby nullifying & clause in the will of Mrs. Fannie Munson, who died a nummber of years ago. Mr. Ryder, who wag an heir of Mrs. Munson, sold some of the land which wag originally a part of her estate, contrary to her wishes as expressed in the will, Mr. Lewis being the pur- chaser. After Mr. Ryder’'s death an examination of the probate court records revealed the forgotten clause in Mrs. Munson’s wil and showed that the title of Mr. Lewls to the property was not clear. The latter then made arrangements to bring suit to recover from the estate for the loss he sustairred by reason of the illegal transaction. Settlement of his claim was ac- 'complished by the signing of waivers by all the Ryder and Munson heirs and Mr. Lewis now has a clear title to the property. No objection to Judge Peck’s application for permis- slon to adopt this course was made to the court this morning and Judge Byington granted his request. “Tramp” Had Good Sized Roll. Harry Tomlins, who claims to hafl from Granby, and who has all the earmarks of a typical tramp, was arrested last night by Constables Downing and Marino. He was in an intoxicated condition and was creat- ing a disturbance at the center when he was taken into custody. The man was inclined to be very abusive and insulting in his language. ‘When searched his pockets revealed the razor, clothes brush and other articles of the tramp’s toilet in addi- tion to seven cents. The officer also took possession of a tobacco sack Wwhich was later found to contain $54 in bills. This morning the prisoner told the authorities he is not a professional hobo. He claims to work as a farm hand. He will be given an opportu- nity to tell his troubles to the court thig evening. Many Sign Petition. According to prohibition advocates no- difficulty is being experienced in getting signatures to the petition, started in circulation several days ago, to have a vote taken on the li- cense question at the October elec- tion. The petition was drawn up early this year as the men behind it propose to get as many signatures as possible before presenting it to the selectman. ‘ It is understood that every voter in town who is believed to be opposed to continuing the sale of liquor here, will be asked to affix his signature to the petition that the strength of the “drys” may be apparent before elec- tion. The no-license advocates claim their prospects of victory are brighter than ever this year and they have started their campaign with a confi- dence of a character which did not mark their previous efforts.
