FEPUBLIGANS HOLD | CAUCUS ON FRIDAY L@ng May Be Opposed by Bald- 'wit-for First Honars DISSATISFACTION IN RANKS ¥George B. Carter Out for Office of Second Selectman — Town Clerk Shaw Seeking Reelection—Worth- ington School Opens—Turner Lo- cated—Automobile Accidents. The politica) pot in this town began to boll again this mérning when' the chairman' of the republican town com- mittee, Willlam H. Webster, an- ced that the. republican town cus will be held on Friday night At 8 o'clock in the town hall. As -usual the office of ‘first select- i man will be most hotly contested. i The office is held by Judge Willard I. § Alling and, accordiing to his friends, he will be a candidate for re-election. f Mr. Alling, it is said, will have as his platform for re-election his accom- Mishments during his past adminis- tration. b Althaough it could not be emnhlly [i confirmed, as Newton W. Baldwin was put of town today, it was rumored fthat the former second selectman will ppose Judge Alling on Friday night. ccording to My. Baldwin's many friends, he would make ap ideal man for the office. As second selectman of the town for 13 years during the Gib- néy administration, he is said to have fained considerable experience as to Bow the town affairs are run. He has &lso served the town as a justice of the peace and constable. There seemed to be a diversion of jopinion as to whether Judge Alling would receive the entire support of his arty shauld he be named by the re- blicans. It is reported that much ai 'action has been expressed as to the manner in which he conducted the town affairs quring the year. Al- though his opponents admit that he saved the town cansiderable money by not making numerous repairs, still they assert that by his saving money the town will eventually undergo ! greater expense when the roads will have to be repaired. Second Selectman George B. Carter annouriced this morniing that he will be a candidate for re-election should the republicans care to nominate him again. Town Clerk Francis H. S8haw ! also announces that he will run for ‘hl. office again. The office of town olerk is voted upon every two years. fThe salary of the first selectman is $800 while the second and third se- Jeciman are compensated with $40 for gheir labors. Due to the exceptional showing ade by the democrats at the election flast fall, when their candidate,- the te Norman L. Beckley, was defeated By a few votes and the election had to decided by the court, the followers £democmcy are combing their ranks order to produce a good candidate| ‘caucus has not yet been announced. b ing with an attendance of about 80 pupils. Classes at the other schools in ‘Berlin and Kensington will begin a week from today. Superintendent of schools J. W. Dows found it ad- visable to start classes a week earlier at the Worthington school, which is also knowpn as the Model school, so that the teachers would be able to receive instructions as. to methods employed by the local instructors. The teachers at the Worthington school this year are Miss Ann Scollon, Miss Edna G. Bugbee and Miss Rose Nielson. Miss Scollon and Miss Bug- bee taught“at“the school last vear, Miss Nielson being a new teacher. Miss Nielson last year taught at Mad- ison and comes to Berlin highly rec- ommended as an instructor. Although all the teachers will have to report for duty on Monday morn- ing, September 10, the children will not have to be present to answer the roll call until the following day. On the ovening day, Mr. Dows will be present at the Kensington Grammar scnool and will outline his plans for the coming year. The morning ses- sion will begin at 10 o’clock and in the afternoon the teachers will at- tend the Berlin fair in a body. There will be but few changes in the local teaching force this year. Mrs. Inex Crane, who taught at the Kensington Grammar school has been transferred to the Persival school, while Miss Mildred E. Aspinwall, who conducted the classes at the Percival school last year, will be at the Ken- sington school this year. Miss Dor- tohy Horsfall of New Britain, who has has been a competent teacher at the Kensington Grammar school for the past two years, has notified Su- pervisor Dows that she will not teach start at 8 o’clock and the proceeds will go to the Red Cross fund. Heavy Traffic—Two Wrecks. All day yeserday and througheghe night the trafic on the turnpike through Worthington Ridge was very heavy, hundreds of touring parties and outing parties passing along the road, either en route from the shore or from the mountains. There were two accidents, but for- tunately no one Wwas injured. One large touring car, said to have car- ried the license number 34,272, was sideswiped near Col. Jarvis’ farm. The side fender of another car struck this machine, which Wwas going south, and staved in the mud guard and broke the front wheel. All the oc- cupants, except a man and a little boy, left the machine. These two re- mained beside the wrecked vehicle all night to guard against anyone stealing their accessories. The other wreeck occured on the hill just below the old cemetery. A heavily laden auto moving van, load- ed with a quantity of household goods and a large canoe, ran off the road, crashed through the guard rail and overturned in the ditch. No one was injured and the driver, fearing to leave the wreckage, dragged a couch from the debris, set it up alongside the road, and there spent the night. Briefs. Miss Minnie Gibbs of Kensington has returned home after a two weeks' vacation at Niantic. Banng of marriage were published | at St. Paul's church, Kensington, Sun- day, for Bernard P. Moore and Miss Nora E. O'Brien. Both are well known and popular in Kensington and here this fall and Miss Margaret Da- vin will replace her. Miss Esther Es- serman, who also taught at the Ken- sington Grammar school last year, has accepted a position in New Brit- ain. Miss Elizabeth M. Valenti and Miss Mildred A.-Paimer of New Brit- ain, have been engaged by Supervisor Dows to teach at the Kensington Grammar school. Miss Palmer will be in charge of the room left vacant teach in grade 1. . It is expected that the attendance figures will be greatly increased this fall, but Supervisor Dows states that there will be enough roont to accom- modate all the ¢hildren. ’ Turner Located. It has been learned that Everett Turner of Worthington Ridge, who suddenly disappeared from his home last week - without notifying his mother or friends, has enlisted in the army and is now located at Fort Slocum. Due ot the fact that Mrs. Turner is a widow and -has already given one son to help Uncle Sam, | there was much opposition to young | Turner’s enlistment. Mrs. Turner | works at the Union Laundry and is partially dependent upon her son. Farewell Clambake Given. The young people of Kensington turned out in a body at the reservoir yesterday where a clambake was giv- én in honor of the young men who have been accepted into the National Army and will soon leave or Camp Devens at Ayer, Mass. Among those present were Judge Willlam F. Man- gan and James Kiniry of New Britain. Fete for Red Cross.

Good-’ { Seyms street institution Plainville News ONE DEAD; TWO HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT Albert Solak Is Victim of Mishap on Farmington Road iAGED. RESIDENT DIES Police Have Busy Weck—eThieves Again in Limelight—Alleged As- sault Scttled in Court—Warfield Family Reunion Held. One man, Albert Solak of Dewey street, New Britain, died last eve- ning at the New Britain General Hos- } pital and another, Albert Ross of Bristol is in a critical condition at the same institution as the result of an automobile accident on Farming- ton Road Sunday afternoon. Two other occupants of the car whose names have not been learned escaped with minor injuries and bruises. According to reports, the car was headed toward Farmington when the accident occurred. As to the cause everyone seems af a loss and the storles told are of a conflicting nature. Those first at the scene attribute the mishap to the breaking of one of the front wheels. The vehicle turned turtle and when found was lying at the side of the road and marks showed where it had dragged along for several feet. » Under the machine two of the oc- cupants were pinned. The others were thrown into the ditch. Men were dispatched to Plainville to sum- mon a doctor and Dr. Moody re- sponded to the call. Those who were badly injured wers | given first aid treatment and were lattr transferred to the New Britain hospital. At the hospital it was found that Solak was suffering from a fracture at the base of the skull and little hope was held for his recovery. Although, according to hospital au- thorities, Ross was slightly improved this morning, his condition is still se- rious. Besides having lacerations and bruises he is suffering from a com- pound fracture and multiple abra- sions. As far as can be learned there were no witnesses of the accident. How- ever, judging from the stories which were current this morning regarding the condition of the car when found it must have been traveling at a high rate of speed. The machine was later towed to Cooke’s garage for repairs. Aged Resident Dies. One of the oldest residents of Plain- ville and a veritable pillar of the Methodist church passed away this morning in the person of Mrs. Jane Dunham, widow of Seymour Dunham. Her death took place at the New Britain General hospital and was due | to -infirmities incident to old asge. Mrs. Dunham who was over S0 years of age and had been in feeble condi- tion, was removed to the hospital several weeks ago. She never recov- ered her health and failed rapidly until the end. She was one of the most estimable aged women in the neighborhood and enjoyed a host of friends and ac- quaintances. She had the reputation of being a most sincere and devout Christian and was the oldest member of the Methodist church of this place. Besides her two sons, George and[ Edward, she is survived by several grandchildren. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 from the Methodist church. Rev. W. A. Goodell, pastor of the church will ‘officiate and in- terment will be held in West ceme- tery. Cgae of Alleged Assault Settled. As an echo of the trouble of last week in which Deputy State Commis- sioner Fitzgerald of this place is al- leged to have been asSaulted by Oscar Anderson, Bristol street inspector, the parties in question had a hearing this morning in the office of Prose- cuting Attorney Mather. Lawyer P. F. McDonough of New Britain repre- sented the local man. Mr. Fitzgerald, who has been In charge of the construction of the new concrete highway between Forestville and Plainville, alleges that last week an argument arose between himself and the Bristo] officlal. Mr. Ander- son, Mr. Fitzge%ld claims, permitted traffic to go over a cement roadway that had been laid only the day pre- vious. He remonstrated and refused to accept the responsibility for any damage and during the ensuing argu« ment he claims that Mr. Anderson as- saulted -him. He in turn brought the matter to the attention of the prose- cuting authorities. ~The case was amigably settled this morning. f With,_ the Police. Because he had failed to heed the warhing to keep straight and stop his flirtations with John Barleycorn, Dex- ter "Case was gilven 60 days in the when ar- raigned in court Saturday. He is now serving his term having been taken to the Capitol city by Officer Marino. The activities of the cracksman in the town still continue unabated. The last outbreak ‘'was made Monday morning when a “loner” attempted to burglarize Gleason’s restaurant. The thief, although he received a good scare, managed to make good his escape. ‘ “ About 3 o'clock Monday morning Officer Marino happened to pass ths{ restaurant and, hearing noises inside, stopped and listened. He declded to go to the back of the building as he through: a rear window and started held from St. Paul's church yesterday morning, Rev. J. C. Brennan officiat- ing. Interment was in the new Cath- olic cemetery, New Britain, No sooner had he reached the corner of the block than a man jumped ! through one of the rear windows and down the road at top speed. The of- ficer gave chase duning which time he fired two shots with the purpose of scaring the thief. The thief did not scare and proving more fleet of foot than his pursuer, the minion of the law had to retrace his footsteps. | at | least one more within the building ! Thinking that there must be Marino called to the gate tender to watch the front while he entered. No others were found. On a table lay a large size ham which, with some cigars and cigar- ettes, the burglar had been wrapping into one bundle to make transporta- tion easy. Officer Marino stated this morn- ing that the next time he ran across a similar case he would shoot to kill as the law gives him that right. After several attempts to have the young man take a New Britain trolley yesterday and return home and re- celving only threats of having his nose punched ' off, Constable Marino took into custody Fred Barnes of New Britain. The offender will be ar- raigned for intoxication before Judge Prior this afternoon. Family Reunion. A family reunion was held Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Warfleld on Park street and proved to be a great success. With the ex- ception of two, all of the children and grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Warfileld were present. It was the first time in a number of years that sSo many members of the family had been together and as the result of the large attendance, a group pic- ture was taken. Those present were: W. T. Warfield, Mrs. Margaret Coss, Erie,” Pa., M. and Mrs. Geo. M. Warfleld and chil- dren, Miss Priscilla, Joyce and George ‘W. Jr., of New Britain, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Warfleld and son and daughter Charles and Helen, Mrs. H. Francis and son Henry of Southing- ton, Mrs. Edward E. Warfleld of Hartford and" Mr. and Mrs. James Warfield of Plainville. May Recover Sight. Residents of the town will be pleased to hear that, according to reperts received in Plainville, Luke H. Carter of Long Beach, Cal, who has been blind for a number of years may recover his sight. He under- went an operation recently for this purpose and it is thought it will prove a success. Carter, who is a brother of Repre- sentative E. T. Carter is a native of this fown and moved West only sev- eral years ago. Shortly after his removal there he experienced some trouble with his optic organs and cataracts formed. Until the operation was performed he was entirely blind. Moves to Hartford.

The envelope is an official one and bears the title “War Depart- ment,” *“Office of the Provost Gen- eral,” “Local~ Board for Division 163.” As yet the missive has been uncalled for. Draft Cards Appear. A numbet of cards addressed to those who will be members of the new national army have appeared at the post office.
