Because of the strenuous objections | of her parents to her lover, Isabella Greco of Kensington left her home about a week ago and to date has not been located. It is sald that she has eloped with John Gerard of New Britain, with- whom she had been keeping company for the past three months. The ald of Prosecutor Willlam H. parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tony Greco, and the New Britain police have been asked to try and help locate the miss- ing girl. Isabella is 18 years of age and at the time of her sudden departure was American Paper Goods factory. About three morths ago, it is said, she became acqualnted with Gerard and the two became 1n- fatuated with each other. Gerard was introduced to the Greco family and it is rumored that the elder Greco took a sudden dislike to the young man. It is sald that he told his daughter not to encourage his attentions and even forbade him to enter the house. The couple, how- sver, met frequently. When they saw that their entreaties with Mr. and Mrs. Greco as to marriage were use- less, they decided to elope, it is sald. On the evening of his daughter's disappearance, Greco appeared before Captain Grace at the New Britain pu- lice headquarters and asked to have Gerard arrested. Prosecutor Glbney happened to be at the station at the time and the case was turned over to him. Gerard could not be located and the theory that the couple eloped pre- vails. It was reported to Greco that the souple were spending their honey- moon trip in Boston. Belleving that he could find his daughter, Greco made a hurried trip to the Hub, Sun- flay. His efforts, however, proved in vain as he could find no trace of his < Baughter. . Busy Court Session. Late yesterday afternoon residents In Kensington were under the impres- sion that the European battl: iields had been transplanted to this About a dozen men, employel by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad engaged in a rough and tum- 2 ~/ Britain. town. | This morning Martin Lyons, Samuel O’'Neil and Thomas Donegon faced Judge George G. Griswold in the town court. O'Neil and Donegon were charged with intoxication, while Lyons wag held on the more serious charge of assaulting one Peter Morely. Morely presented a pitiful sight in court. His face was cut and his right ear was badly lacerated. He also had a wound in his right arm which had been inflicted by same sharp instru- ment. The wound was about two and one-half inches long and had been dressed by P. W. Fox, of New On ‘the witness stand Morely com- plained that he had been assaulted by Lyons. He sald that he was attacked by the accused and while on the | ground the latter severely bit his ear. i He was also robbed of $3.50, he said. He was not sure if Lyons had taken the maney, he testified, as there were several men near him at the time. Lyons, in his own defense, denied taking the money+and stabbing More- ly. He admitted, however, that he fought with the complainant and while doing so sank his teeth into his | ear. He sald that Morely, in a pre- vious argument earlier in the day, bit one of his fingers. He exhibited a digit in court which showed teeth- marks. Officer Carroll, of the rallroad company, asked that the judge inflict a severe penalty. The men, he sald, who are at the camp at present are | a lawless crowd and need a lesson. It developed that yesterday was pay- day and as a result a number got in- toxicated and became abusive and quarrelsome. As the instrument used to infllct the wound on Morely could not be found and as no direct evidence had been produced to show that Lyons had stabbed the man, he escaped be- ing charged with a more serious of- fense. He was found gullty of intox- fcation and fined $3 and was sent to jall for thirty days. O’Nell was dis- charged on the payment of costs and Donnegon was flned $1 and costs for 1intoxication. Women’s Commlittee Organized. Representatives from the D. A. R,, Berlin Grange, Women's Missionary Society, the Ladies’ Ald Soclety, the Book and Thimble Club, the Eastern Star, the Catholic Women’s Soclety and every other women’s organization in this town were present at a meet- ing called at the home of Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis at 3 a’clock this afternoon. The purpose of the meeting was the organization and perfection of a local women’s council of defense which will be under the supervision'of the state council. Officers were elected and plans for carrying on the work were discussed. Tdberty -Loan Campeign. At a meeting to be held at ‘home of Mrs, Charles M. Jarvis of Worthington Ridge on Monday after- noon, plans for raising the amount al- lotted to Berlin in the second Liberty Loan campaign will be outlined. Mrs. Jarvis was recently appointed local chairman by the women's state com- mittee and will announce her commit- tees In the next few days. The Berlin Savings Bank, as in the first campaign, is taking an _active part in the drive. Treasurer Franci Deming is chairman of the men's ! committee which will assist in raising | the money.

In spite of the grumblings and pro- testations of commuters to New Brit- aln and Berlin, no heat is yet being furnished on the trolley cars. Al- though talk has been prevalent that a petition would be circulated, it has not made ‘its appearance yet. Columbus Day Quiet. Although today was Columbus Day, very few people in Berlin were aware of the fact. The Berlin Savings Bank was closed all day. All other busi- ness places were open as usual. Spe- clal exercises were held at the public schools in commemoration of the event but no holiday was enjoved. Pupils from this town attending the New Britain High school were given | a half day's vacation, No celebration will be held by local Itallans this year. In former years it was the custom of the Italians here to\hold a grand ball in Foresters hall. The event was abandoned this fall and instead it was decided to join with the Hardware City in celebration. A pa- rade was held and this evening a ball will take place at Turner hall on Arch street. The proceeds of the event will go to the Red Cross. To Make More Arrests. Prosecutor Gibney stated this morn- ing that several more arrests will be made soon because of the disgrace- ful scene which took place yester- day afternoon in Kensington when a number of employes of New York, New Haven and Hartford redlroad engaged in a fight. Numerous complaints have been made to the authorities because of the rowdyism of the men, and Mr. Gibney is determined that this must be stopped. “We won't tolerate any such disgraceful occur- rences in Berlin,” he said. At one time during the fight yes- terday, it is said that no less than ten employes of the company were on top of Constable Hackett who was trying to perform his duty. Although & number of citizens witnessed the officer in distress no one offered as- sistance. Before Officers Ritchie and Austin appeared on the scene several of the fighters disappeared. A dis- cription of the men has been secured (Continued On Tenth Page). i _ Construction of the new Marlin- | Rockwell corporation building is pro-! gressing rapidly and with the aug- mented force of workmen it is ex- pected that the work will be com- | pleted in about two months. The ad- | dition to the Trumbull Electric com- pany is also progressing well and con- tractors are hopeful of having the job finished by the end of November. These activities of the two leading factories in the town may be ascribed to the war as most things are but cltizens are of the opinion that they will prove a boom to Plainville. Both concerns are really in their Infancy but are rapidly developing in size. The new additions will mean that the output of the factories will be greater and that necessarily more men will: have to be employed. I The old question of providing ade- | quate lving facilities will probably ! arise as soon as the new buildings are | finished and ready for the workmen. | The original plans of the Marlin- | Rockwell corporation have been ; somewhat enlarged upon and Instead | of building 13,000 square feet of floor | space ontc thelr present structure they will add 52,000 square feet. The | southern end of the new bullding is being constructed in a manner that | will permit of further additions being | made at any time. The employment | bureau building has been completedt and 1s now occupled by employes of the company. It is stated that the company is rushed with orders and the night and day force is being kept | busy. Tentative plans for further Im- provements on the property are now in the works and are expected to ma- terialize. Providing the town will pay the expense of having a surface ! sewer installed the company will | build a new macadam road and new | sidewalks in front of the factory.
