The laborers registered un- der the selective:draft law on June 5, but since that time it is reported have forsaken this town. Postmaster A. B. Goodrich and Wil- fiam W. Fagan have within the past few days been trying to locate somo of the men, but without success. Let- ters notifying the men that they must appear for examination before the ‘exemption board in session today at L Plinville are at the respective post- offices. Up to press time this after- hoon the following men who have en called for examination, have not imed their lctters : Berlin post- ffice: Agnello lorenzo, Pili Giacinto, John Tarco, Nick Clenieniriz, Pat Muahatto; Kensington post office, Sta- ratos Kok Cowles, Antoneo Fortini, Andrew Chudzik, Peter Janick, Stan- fslaw Zazone, Pasquale Scre, Stanley Roziatek, Marquella Trangyue 110 Ariska Lessanda, and Alex Vurkow- ski.

John nan agsumed the duties of Boestor of St. Paul's Roman Catho- ie church. Since coming to Kensing- his parish has flourished and to- is regarded as one of the best in the state. Rev. Father Brennan is d by his flock and is also very Kensing- | Lady minstrels. | popular with other residents. His | time has not been confined to church matters alone, as he has taken an active interest in questions pertain- ing to the welfare of the community. He is one of greatest agitators on the water question and should Kensing- | ton ever be successful in securing water from New Britain it will be mostly because of Rev. Father Bren- nan’s interest in the matter. REV. J. C. BRENNAN. St. Paul's church is the first rector- ship that Rev. Father Brennan as- sumed. He came here following the death of Rev. James P. Degnan. Soon -after his arrival in Kensington his church was razed by fire. Not dis- couraged by this, Father Brennan set ahout to raise subscriptions for a new church. The edifice that graces the knoil near the Kensington Gram- mar school today speaks well for Jather Brennan's efforts along this line. The new church was dedicated about three years ago and is one of the prettiest buidings in this vicinity. Rev. Father Brennan's flock has also increased in number since his coming to Kensington. Besides ad- ministering to the needs and com- forts of his parishioners in Kensing- ton, Rev.-Father Brennan conducts | services in East Berlin every Sunday morning. - Gambler Arrested. State Policeman Robert W. Bridge- man accompanied by four state offi- ! cers visited the fair grounds yester- | day afternoon and as a result, Sam | Cohen of New York, was arrested on the charge of gambling. He was re- leased on $75 bonds and when the case was called before Judge George G. Griswold this morning, Cohen fajled to put in an appearance. The bond was forfeited. It is alleged in the complaint that Cohen was oper- ating & ‘“‘pickout” gamec. When Officer | Bridgethan arrested him he made a disturbance and had to be hand- cuffed. When brought to the police tent on the grounds and asked to furnish a bond, Cohen claimed that he was without funds. When told that he would be placed hehind the hars un- til his trial came up, he managed to find $50 about his clothes. A pal in the meantime hurried about the grounds and raised more. When Cohen was scarched, it was discov- ered that he had a roll, containing about $500 concealed- in a secret pocket in the lcft leg of his trousers. ought that 'ohen decided that < better to seck new quarters and i Berlin forfeit his bond than face a jail sen- tenee. Officer Bridgeman stated this morn- | ing that he had several men under observation at the grounds and that more arrests will probably follow. He said that he has three men under suspicion as pickpockets and will eject them from the grounds this aft- ernoon and give a warning to leave the town at once or be arrested. To Escort Governor. . Orders were issued by Captain George Pickett this morning for every Home Guard to report at the Town hall at 1:30 o’clock sharp tomorrow afternoon. The suards ‘ will escort Governor Marcus H. Holcomb to the fair grounds it being Governor's Day at the fair. It is imperative that every guard be present. During Gov- ernor Holcomb's stay in Berlin he will be entertained by Col. and Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis of Worthington Ridge. Received Two Notices. Norman Hutchinson of Kensington this morning received word from the War Department to report at once to the Naval Reserve station at Bridgeport He had enlisted some time ago. Hutchinson was also noti- fied several days ago that he is to report for physical examination be- fore the exemption board at Plain- ville this afternoon. Being placed in this peculiar predicament, Hutchin- son sought advice from some of his friends\to help him solve hiz perplex- ing problem. Under their advice he decided to appear for examination at Plainville following which he will leave at once for Bridgeport to report for duty. Notice of Appropriation. Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw this morning received notice from High- way Commissioner Charles J, Bennett that - this town must make applica- tion for repairing the roads. The letter states that the maximum amount to be allotted to Berlin is fixed by statute as $20,000 for two vears. Action on the question must be taken at any legally warned meeting on or before November 1. Commis- sioner Bennett suggests that the proper time to vote on this question would be at the town meeting which is to be held on October 1. When it is decided how jymuch of an appro- priation is wanted resolution must ‘be adopted to provide for the pay- ment of one-half of the total sum of state and town money applied for. comes under the one-quarter division, the state appropriating the remainder. One hundred other towns about the state come under this divi- sion. It is said that a number of East Berlin residents will ask for an ap- propriations at the town meeting to have the road from tha Berlin station to the East Berlin line wTepaired. Blue Hills residents also want the roads repaired in that section of the town. Tt is expected that there will be some lively hcarings at the town meeting on this question. Briefs. Earle B. Lewis, who has been spending a few days-at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Lewis of Kensington, has returned to his duties on board the U. S. S. Wasp, at Whitestone, L. I .

The top dressing 1 has been laid as far as Pierce street and employes of the Connecticut and Rhode Island Co., which has the con- | tract, are busy finishing the strip be. tween there and the railroad tracks where the new road ends. The construction of the road was started last spring and citizen§ are will be one of the best highways in the state. After the excavation had been completed a heavy foundation of concrete was used on top of which was spread a thickness of course amlesite. The top dressing is of finer amiesite, which, when gone over with the steam roller forms a smooth sur- face. On top of this is spread fine few days before it is swept off and the road open to traffic. The contrast between the new high- way and the old dirt road which served so many years is remarkable. The former is practically as smooth as glass where finished while a ride | over the old road makes one think of a trip over the Rockies. The new highway is so graded that when it rain the water will empty into the sewers instead of forming in pools in the middle of,the road as it for- merly did. - After one side has been finished the workmen will begin operations at Forestville and work- toward Plain- ville. Both sides of the highway have been completed as far as that place. It is thought that the entire stretch of road will be finished by the first of October. Harris Trial Next Wednesday. At a hearing on the case of Hermon (Smoky) Harris, accused of the mur- der of Frank Tanner, held yesterday afternoon in Hartford it was decided to try‘the alleged murderer next Wednesday. The trial will start at 2 o'clock and will be held at the county court house. A number of local men were present to offer testimony yesterday, including Grand Juror Norton, Officer Philip Marino, Judge Prior and all the wit- nesses except one. Officer Philip Marino this morning received a summons for himself and ‘the following other men who will have to be present at the trial next week: Lawrence H. Frost, Charles ‘W. Moody, Minton A. Norton, Milton Peaks, Benjamin Wilson, Eddie Stan- ton, Henry Craddock, Jimmie Maceda and Fred Orange. Orange, who is cne of the most im- portant witnesses in the case, is mi sing, and the efforts of Officer Ma- rino to locate him have been to no avail. That he is not in the neigh- borhood seems to be self-evident. Ma- rino visited the place where he last boarded andq was told that he had gone to New Britain. It is probable that the local officer will solicit the aid of the New Britain police force in locating him. Officers Elected. At a meeting of local lodge of the Foresters of America, held in Grange hall last evening, officers for the com- ing year were elected. Because only a few of the members were present the serving of refreshments was omitted. The officers elected are as follows: Chief Ranger—Joseph Keefe. Sub Chief Ranger—Samuel iant. Recording Secretary—J. M. Prior. Senior Woodward—Arthur Dame. Junior Woodward—John Driscoll. Senior Beadle—Joseph Glynn. Lecturer—Leo Prior. Is It Yours? Officer Marino is thinking serious- 1y of opening a dry goods store, and at present has quite a stock of goods on hand. Among the various articles which he has collected and is willing to dispose of are ‘three suitcases.” His latest fmd was acquired this morning | when Gertrude Ward of 48 Park street telephoned him that a straw suitcase had been conspicuous on the walk in front of her home since yes- terday morning. + How or when the suitcase reached its destination is unknown, but the finder stated that Monday night she heard someone prowling about the house, but being alone, did not deem’| it wise to make any investigation. It Glor- became frightened and left the neigh- borhood. Besides a good brown sult of clothes the suitcase contained a pair of shoes, two shirts, two razors and a razor strop, other shaving articles and some hosiery. Officer Marino has placed it with the rest of his collection at the Town hall where the owner can have it by identification. Two Marriages Today. Two marriages in which young peo- ple of Plainville figure prominently took place today. Neither was solemn- ized in town. In Bristol this afternoon Miss Mary Green, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. | Louis Green of Washington street, | became the bride of Edward Peter- | son of Bristol.

This morning at an early hour about 250 youths from Berlin and Southington flocked into town to be examined as candidates for the Na- tional Army. They came by train, trolley and auto, anyway to get here and from outside appearances seemed to be-a happy crowd. At 9 o’clock a fair percentage presented themselves at the town hall for examination but turned away in disgust when they learned that none of the examining physicians had arrived. At 10:30 they were still in suspense as enough doctors and clerks had not put in an appearance to start the work. One doctor was of the opinion that the first man would receive his examination about 11 o’clock. Includ- ing the Plainville boys in the neigh- borhood of 400 will have to pass through the long line of medical men. Because of the late start and the great number of men to be examined it is the general opinion that the medical men and clerks will have to work late into the night to complete their task.
