A fatality was barely avolded in East Berlin yesterday when Robert Cowles, driving a Ford automobile, collided with another car at the cor- ner of Grove and Main streets, the lat- ter machine completely overturning and throwing its occupants into the wayside. Much mystery surrounds the accident, as the occupants of the transient car, a man and three women, refused to give their names and re- moved the numbers from their ma- chine immediately after the accident. The driver explained that he had bor- rowed the automobile and did not waxt its owner to learn of his misfor- tune. All the passengers of the transient machine escaped with slight injuries. except an elderly woman, who it is said was acting as chaperone for the party. She recelved numercus con- tusions and internal injurles. She was talsen to Middletown by auto. In- quiry at the Middlesex hospital today disclosed that she had not been brought there. According to Cowles the accident wes unavoldable. He was coming down @Grove street and before he could pring his machine to a stop he collld- ed with the passing car. His machine | hit the transient car squarely in the penter, lifting it into the air and com- plegely overturning it. A large crowd gathered and numer- ous suggestions as to first aid treat- ment were given. A number ques- tioned the victims of the accident but po information could be secured. Rally Day a Success.

Veentres experi- enced no difficulty in throwing his ad- versary, pinning the shoulders of Benjamin to the mat twice in about seven minutes. Ventres greatly outweighed his op- ponent and seemed much more skilled in the art. From the minute the bout started there was no question in the minds of the audience as to who would be the victor. Ventres threw Benja- min the first time in two minutes and duplicated his feat five minutes later. There was a large crowd present ray has returned from the hospital and is at present recuperating at her home.

News in the form of a cablegram received by Mrs. C. C. Roberts of 25 East street from her son, Leon Roberts, stating that he has arrived safely on the shores of France. The cablegram which was dated October 4' was not received until last night and was dated “somewhere in France.” It is probable that he is in Paris. Young Roberts, he is 20 years of age, enlisted in 1915 with company I, C. N. G., at’New Britain. In the summer of 1916 he was sent to the Mexican border where he saw serv- This whén President Wilson declared state of war existed between this country and Germany. After being stationed in the Hardware city for some time he was sent to New Haven. The date upon which he sailed from New Haven was kept secret and nothing was heard from him for sev- eral weeks until his trip overseas was successfully made. Roberts is a well known young man of the town, being a native and hav- ing received his education at the local schools. At present he holds the rank of corporal. Other local young men who were members of Company I are thought to have arrived in France although no word has been received to that ef- fect. a All Stars Win, The All Stars are highly elated over the showing which they made yester- day against Southington when they walloped the football team from that place to the tune of a 36-0 shutout.

The last one to happen took place last evening about 7 o’clock on West Main street when a Ford coming towards Plain- ville collided with a large touring car going in the opposite direction. Al- though both of the vehicles carried passengers no one was injured to any extent. Fortunately the cars were not damaged materially. According to reports the owner of the Ford did not have his lights turned on. This and the narrowness of the amiesite pave- ment on the Bristol-Plainville high- way is sald to have caused the acci- dent. Benjamin Defeated: For the first time in his young life, F. Iven Benjamin, who bears the monicker, “The French Whirlwind,” felt the bitter pangs of defeat Satur- day evening when, in the finish match at Turner Hall in New Britain with “The Berlin Black- smith,” for the lightweight champion- ship of New England, he was defeat- ed in straight falls in record time. The time of the first fall was two minutes and 10 seconds and the sec- ond fall was five minutes. Although Benjamin is conceded to be one of the best grapplers in the country at 135 pounds he was no match for the Berlin boy, who was the larger of the two, and seemed to outweigh the pride of Plainville by at least 30 pounds. In spite of this handicap Benjamin showed his aggressiveness during the few minutes the bout lasted and if the weights of the two opponents had been even the story might be told from an en- tirely different standpoint. Ventres also showed his good sportsmanship when, after the match was ended, he announced that he did | not consider the battle was staged on even terms as he conceded that the Plainville boy was much the smaller and lighter. Liberty Loan Booming. A. A. MacLeod, treasurer of the Plainville Trust company, announced this morning that subscriptions are coming in at a fast rate and that up to date subscriptions to the amount of $11,000 have been taken, either at the bank or through solicitors on the general committee.

A weekly payment plan will be used and those purchasing bonds will be given ample time to pay for them without financial embarrassment.

Bonds of the $50 denomination seem to be the favorites with the working class, but larger bonds are also being disposed of to a few work- ing men. Those who are financfally able are buying bonds in denomina- tions ranging from $100 up into the thousands, and there seems to be a rivalry among several of the rich men of the town as to who will be the proud owner of the largest bond. One man is reported as having said that he would buy a $5000 bond in case anyone else should. Efforts are being made to find the second man. Another Auto Accident. A slight auto accident occurred yesterday afternoon at the junction of Canal and West Main streets. An auto bearing the number 4839 crashed into a team going in the op- posite direction. The windshield of the machine was smashed, the flying glass cutting a child occupant of the; car. Because of the narrowness of ! the road at this point the accident is said to have been unavolidable. Home Guard Practices. Something unusual in Home Guard activities was staged yesterday when the entire company in charge of Cap- tain Trumbull marched to the Cook street shooting range. Some very good scores are reported. Sh-h. Rumor has it that there is a secret service man in town and that he has been working at one of the factories under the guise of a common laborer.

Valuable Information Secured by Fed- | eral Agents in Regard to Bolo Pacho. | New York, Oct. 8.—That federal of- ficers have obtained valuable infor- | mation regarding additional spy plots | as a result of the attorney general's revelations in connection with the ac- | tivities here of Bolo Pacho, who now is under arrest in Paris accused as a German spy, was indicated clearly last night when it became known that an investigation hags been set on foot in Paterson, N. J., as a result of testi- mony offered before the attorney general by Hugo Schmidt, represen- | tative of the Deutsche bank. | Schmidt volunteered considerable testimony when he was summoned to tell the part he played in carrying out the plot of the German foreign ' office and Count von Bernstorff to ! have Bolo Pacho attempt to corrupt ' the French press by the fund of $1,- | orders from Von Bernstorff, to sipply to Bolo. For months agents of the depart- ment of justice had been seeking in New Jersey a man who was declared to have acted as a go-between for Von Bernstorff in connection with a plot by which the Germans were able, by means of men stationed in several neutral countries, to obtain informa- tion transmitted to them by spies in England, France and other allied countries. As a result of Schmidt's wholly un- solicited information, the government operatives have learned the where-| abouts of the man who worked for Von Bernstorff here and have suc-| ceeded in tracing details of the plot | which previously were sheathed in mystery.
