Comer MEW BRITAIN YOU CAN DEPEND 0‘ PROMPTLY RECEIVING ALL DRY GOODS PU3ICHASED OF US. Beriin News SHE DANCED, NOW MUST PAY FIDDLER Jennie May Curtis, “Vampire Girl,” Working Out Fine in Jail | JUDGE FINES E{ER $100 Court Also Cold to Pleas of Three Men Who Are Bound Over—Manufac- turer of Snaky Music Fined $50— Roads Political Issue. Sentence, which was deferred from Jast Saturday, was imposed in the Berlin court yvesterday afternoon by ! Judge George G. Griswold in the cases of Mrs. Jennie May Curtis, found glty of indecent exposure during an alleged Oriental dance at the Berlin fair midway, and her three compan- jons, George J. George, a ticket seller, Ross Crowley, the official ‘“‘barker”, and Martin MacDonald, who claimed that he was hired as a lecturer to ex- plain the various artistic poses as in- ierpreted by the Vampire girl. The quirtet were arrested on Friday. af- ternoon when the state police raided their tent on the midway. They were arraigned in court Saturday morning and their lawyer, A. A. Greenbers, of New Britain, put up such a stren- wous defense that the court deferred sentence. Jennie May, who, between her sobs told Judge Griswold that what they said’ about her was true because she had done cverything charged, only it - wras the first time, was fincd $100 and costs. The little high kicking dan- cer admitted that she is married, but her husband was nowhere in evidence yesterday afternoon and when Jennie May was taken to the Hartford Coun- ty. Jail last night she admitted that «1% must have thrown me down.” At last accounts the dancer was trying to figure out how long it will take her to work out her fine of $100 and costs at §1 per day. ) . The three others implicated in the exhibition were charged with harbor- fng a woman for immoral purposes and, despite the plea of Lawyer Greenberg, Judge Griswold found prabable cause in each instance and bound the accused over to the su- perior court, which convenes today, in Bonds of $500 each. The fifth man arrested in this raid, one Gabriel Shaker, a trumpeter, was fined $50 and costs and he too, went o jail in lieu of paying his fine. Ga- briel was much upset by the fine. He said he hagd been working in Worcester and startéd last Tuesday for New York. He stopped off at the Berlin fair to pick up a few jitneys by play- ing his trumpet and was engaged to play some inspiring music while Jennie May danced. He was thus en- gaged when the raid was made. Other Cases in Court. There were three other cases in the dourt yesterday afternoon, all hold- overs from the Berlin fair. Fred Barrett, an alleged gambler who was arrested by the state police on Satur- day and was liberated on $50 bonds furnished by Fred Beloin, did not ap- Pear when his case was called and the bond was declared forfeited. Mr. Beloin was not present either. George Freeman, another alleged gambler, did not appear to plead to the charges against him and his bond of $50 was likewise declared for- feited. A man who said his name was Sam Levy was fined $3 and costs for as- saulting a patron of the fair on Sat- urday afternoon. Levy was a ticket seller and following an argument with a New Britain man was alleged to have punched him in the nose. The punch cost him the above price. Berlin Reads the Issue. With clection only a short way off the Berlin democrats are girding up their loins preparatory to giving the republican party the fight of its lifc and, incidentally, electing a straight ticket. The biggest issues of the election is the contest between Wil- lard I. Alling, republican, and James Brown, democrat, for the office of se- lectman, and between Charles F. Lewis, republican, and Henry Fagan, democrat, for tax collector. The dem- ocrats feel that their chances are especially bright this year as, they say, the republican party is not as compact as it was in the good old days when the machine was well oiled and running smoothly. They place added faith in their platform which is “Better Roads.” This is a slogan which appeais not only to BRerlin people, but also to those 1n other places who have occasion to use the local highways. The demo- crats claim that never before have the highways of Berlin been in such a delapidated condition as they are at present and assert that had not the state made a couple of Trepairs this year the town would be abso- lutely ostracized by all traffic. The road between Worthington Ridge and Kensington center is especially bad and is said by many tourists to bc the worst stretch of road in the state | where any pretense is made of keep- ing up appearances. Irom the mo- ment traffic leaves the excellent con- crete state road on Worthington Ridge until the Beach Swamp road is reached there is but one continuous series of bumps. Damon’s Hill resembled the once famous Chelikoot Pass, famed at fairs and carnivals as the bump the bumps. The rest of the highway, from the foot of the hill to the railroad bridge, is almost entirely washed away, with scores of holes and hummocks which not only damage automobiles and teams but are positively dangerous to Just before passing railroad bridge the person not familiar with conditions suddenly im- agines that he is in “no man’s land in France and is driving over some of the famous shell craters made by the 42 centimeter shells. Taken yard by vard or as a whole, Farmington road is a horrible example of what a zood road should not be and much of the educated traffic from New Britain and Meriden has learned to avold this stretch by going through Cathole road which by the way is no boulevard but is preferable to the other. Another claim of the democrats Is that certain alleged economies prac- ticed by the republican administra- tion is in reality false economy and in the long run will cost the town more.. The recent collapse of the Paper Goods bridge is to be cited as an Instance and the democrats as- sert that if the republican adminis- tration had been less economical it would have been more profitable for all concerned. Both Mr. Alling, who is now the veteran war horse of the republican party since Willlam H. Gibney has retired to private life, and Mr. Brown are well known men and both have under | a strong following. Mr. Lewis and Mr. Fagan are also well and favor- ably known. Preparatory to the coming election the various people who have applied to be made voters will appear before the registration board between hours of 9 a. m. and 9 p. m. Satur- day at the town hall. There are 72 on the list to be made voters and among them appears the name of one woman, Grace I. C. Ventres who will | doubtless exercise her right of fran- chise by voting on the school ques- tion. Joseph J. Morse and Harry A. McKeon, the board of registrars, have compiled the following list of those who wish to become voters. Arthur Anderson, Charles Brown, | Edward Brown, Boardman, Edward L. | Bunce, Lewis E. Bunce, Alexander Bruce, Alexander Bruce Jr., Charles J. S.

Dodd are a special com- mittee, of the general soldiers’ relief committee, in charge of a farewell banquet and demonstration to be giv- en tomorrow evening in the G hall in honor of the second contingent of eight local men who have just been certitied by the district committee. Inasmuch Berlin and other towns in the district have lost their identity as towns in the draft, but are includ- ed in the district, it is not possible at this time to learn just how many | men from any one place will be called upon to go on Thursday. It is known, however, that 160 men from | the district will be summoned. It is possible that the first eight, who werc given a celebration 1 week, may go. It is possible that the number called from here may be more or even less on Thursday. The second list of eight men certified by the dis- trict board and who are being held pending further orders are as follows: John K. Fraser, Porter Allen Dean, John Pinko, Giovanni Ferrani, M. Ellsworth Woods, Earl J. Woods, John W. Dowling and George G. Winslow. Tomorrow night's celebration will consist of a supper in the Grange hall at 7:30 p. m., sharp, to be fol- lowed by a program of musical num- bers, both instrumental and vocal, and short addresses by Rev. J. (. Brennan and Prof. E. E. Nourse. The Berlin Home Guard has also been or- dered out to participate in this fare- well. All drafted men and their friends and relatives are invited to this fare- well party and it is hoped by the general committee that the commu- the ; Plainvilie News PLAINVILLE WILL HOLD CELEBRATION In Honor of Second Offering to National Army {PARADE AND SMOKER Missit Reported As Being in Critical Condition As Result of Auto Acci- dent—Rcv. R. H. Burton Chosen As Director. Plainville is to do homage to fits second offering to the national army. In honor of those who leave Thursday for the cantonment at Ayer, Mass., and who will eventually help to make the world safe for democracy, a cele- bration commensurate of the cvent will be held tomorrow evening. It will take the form of a smoker and | lunch previous to which a parade will | be held in which practically every military and fraternal body in town will participate. At a meeting of the Home Guard last evening a discussion of the ad- visability of giving the boys a send- off was brought up. Capt. J. H. Trum- bull and other members of the com- pany who fathered the scheme are unaninfous In their approval of the plan, and tentative plans which will be completed before tomorrow night are now being made to make the send-oft a royal one. ; It was decided to ask the Machine Gun company, the Ambulance com- pany, the Boy Scouts, as well as the fraternal organizations, to participate and lend their efforts in co-operation. It is needless to say that each organ- ization has cagerly and heartily re- sponded. Previous to the smoker, the parade will take place under the direction of Capt. J. H. Trumbull of the local com- pany of the Home Guard, who has been appointed marshall. The various organizations will report at the Town Hall at 7:15 and at 7:30 the parade will start, the line of march to be as follows: From Pierce street to Broad street, from Broad street to Washing- ton street, from Washington street, to West Main strect, from West Main street to East Main street railroad crossing, counter march to Whiting street, from Whiting to Broad street and from Broad street to Pierce street and the Town Hall. : Thé different organizations will take their place in the parade as follo Marshall, Capt. J. H. Trumbull, speak ers’ car, G. A. R, Band, Co. I, C. H. G., Machine Gun company, ice unit, drafted men, Boy Scouts, other bodies following. An invitation has been extended to all drafted men, nity will help to do Its bit. The sub-committee will receive contribu- tions to help defray expenses. Griffith . Is Not Dog Warden, George Griflith of Kensington, erst- while dog warden, stated in no un- certain terms this morning that he is not the dog warden, has not been for several months and does not intend to act in that capacity even until elec- tion, despite the wishes of First Se- lectman Alling. Mr. Griffith states that in his opinion a dog warden must be a man who can respond to all com- plaints immediately and his work is such that he cannot give the necessar) time. Although he states that he has heard no comment upon his resigna- tion, nevertheless he regards himself through with the job for good. The new ruling whereby all do must be chained to their premise: beginning Saturday, will mean added work for someone but who that some- one will be is indefinite since Mr. Griffith’s ultimatum. Brief News Items.! At the meeting of St. Paul's drum corps last night it was decided to immediately begin a recruiting cam- paign and notices are to be sent to a number of the young men of the town urging them to join the corps to take the places left vacant by those who have joined the colors. Local women interested in Red Cross work met today at the home of Mrs. George Tryon to do scwing for that organization. Painters are at work at the Berlin Savings bank building putting a new coat of paint on the wood work. Mrs. Eliza Galpin and daughter, Miss Ruth, have returned from a vacation spent at Swampscot, Mass. Plans are being completed for the annual fall parish fair to be given the lalter part of the month by St. Paul's churel Martin J. Sunderland is visiting with relatives in Kensington. He ex- pects to return to his home in Morley, . Y., next week where he has heen summoned for draft examination. Several of the concessionists, par- ticularly those whose reputation is a bit shady, who have not yot depart- ed from this vicinity are loud in their claims that they we not treated | right at the recent fair and onc man has made the assertion that he will wreck the midway” next year by telling the fraternity that the lid is on tight in Berlin. The finance board plans to meet the latter part of the week to arrange the budget for the coming year. Attention of the public having been brought to the fact that in Berlin and Kensington at least there are official bulletin boards erected in front of the post offices, the same public is now wondering what they are for. As yet nothing has appeared upon them, so the East Berlinites, who are said to feel somewhat slighted because their fair center has not been graced by such an addition, have not lost any- thing as yet. Rumor hath it how- ever, that the East Berlin commit- tee may eventually see fit to bring the sign board from its present resting who have been passed physically and waived exemption, to participate. They are requested to carry the national colors, Following the completion of the counter march, which ends at the Town Hall, there will be several ad- dresses given by prominent men of the vicinity. J. H. Trumbull stated this morning that he had not yet se- lected the speakers, but who they are will be made known tomorrow. At the conclusion of the addresses Co. I will escort the drafted men to the Masonic hall, where they will bhe tendered a smoker and lunch. It was suggested this morning that residents living on streets through which the line of march will follow, be asked through the medium of the press if they would light their homes with lanterns and turn out to aid in the celebration. It has not been learned definitely the namcs of the drafted men who will have to leave Thursday morning. Neither is the number known, although forty per cent of the dis- tricts’ quota will be included in the second contingent which mobilizes at the Town Hall in Plainville Thursday morning, and is composed of 160 men from the towns in this dlstrict. Fol- jowing mobilization, the men will en- train for Camp Devons, Ayer, Mass. At the post office this morning nine cards addressed to young men of the town were received. These cards stated that the recipient must hold himself in readiness to report for ser- vice at twenty-four hours’ notice. These nine men will probably be among those in the second increment. They are: Herbert Ewald, William Parkinson, Charles Edmead, Jr., N tale Gogosalowego, Fred Radcliffe, Thomas Prior, Earnest Atwater, An- tonio Pause, Clarence Washington. Missit’s Condition Critical. Thomas Missit, who was one of the occupants of the auto which collidec head-on with a trolley car last eve- ning at Coope: switch, Hilliardsville is lying at St. Francis Hospital with a fractured skull. Officials at the ine stitution today stated that his condi- tion was very low although he has a fighting chance for recovery. Missit was riding in the front seat with the driver of the car and owing to the terrific impact caused by the collision was catapulted head first against the trolley. He did not gain consciousness while being taken to the hospital and it was thought at first that he was suffering from a fracture at the base of the brain and a broken neck. John J. Kennedy of Hartford, an- other occupant of the car, is prob- ably fatally injured and his chances for recovery slight. The other three occupants sustained minor injuries. Missit is well known in this town and has a large number of friends here, several of whom have paid visits to the hospital to determine his con- dition. Missit came here several years ago from Terryville and is one of the best known sporting men in the state. TLibrary Committee Chosen. At a meecting of the library board held last evening in the library rooms a committee of ten were chosen to aid In the work of raising a million dollars for a million books for a mil- lion soldiers. Rev. Robert H. Burton has been appointed director. Several of the following who com- pose the committee will appear at the capitol tomorrow where the proj- ect will be discussed and tentative plans made for a successful launch- ing: Robert H. Burton, R. E. Mor- ill, G. A. Case, W. J. Foran, L. S. Mills, O. L. Judd, Mrs. Oliver Peace, Miss Frances Bunnell, J Lamb, Mrs. C. R. Clark, Mrs. . Calor. A Fighting Irishman. Much to his sorrow Edward Mc- Graw, giving his address as New Brit- ain stopped at Plainville while he was enroute from Bristol to the Hard- ware city While in the town he visit- ed one of the loacl emporiums and succeeded In getting into an argu- ment which eventually landed him in the town lock-up. After being forcibly rejected from the saloon he continued to hang around the center and make a nuisance of himself. A complaint was made and shortly after Officer Marino appeared on the scene. He warned McGraw that it THIS Come in. 3 REFURNISHING FALL? If you are this store holds all that could possib! be desired in the way of up-to-date furnishings.

Losing patience Marino had to finally escort the man to the town hall but not until the latter had offered a stout resistance and the night stick been brought into play. Dr. J. C. Tanner attended the man and dressed the wounds which were not of a seri- ous nature. He will be in court to- day before Judge Condell. Annual Meeting Tomorrow. The annual meeting of the Plain- ville Young Men’s club will be_held tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock in the store of J. L. Ahlquist on Maple street.

Prior the club is in excellent financial con- dition quite a sum of money being realized last winter from the basket- ball games held under the auspices of the organization. Mrs. S. R.
