When this quartet were arraigned in court on October § for the picket- ing of the previous day they were adjudged guilty, but were not sen- tenced. The court expressed the hope that they would discontinue picket- ! ing. They repeated the offense one week later and were sentenced to six months in jail. They were sentenced yesterday for their first offense, mak- ing their total, seven imonths. Miss Hennessey and Mrs. Dorothy J. Bartlett of Putnam, Conn., have been removed from the Occoquan workhouse following the mutiny of last week when the twelve women suffrage prisoners refused to work and are now under solitary confine- ment at the district jail here. Last week the twelve suffragists served notice on the superintendent of Occoquan that they considered themselves ‘“political prisoners” and would not perform the tasks of hem- ming towels and sheets by hand as- signed them. The district commis- sioners took the matter up and served unless they receded from their position and abided by the prison rules they would be taken from the dormitories at Oc- coquan and put behind bars in the dis- trict jail. i The women still refused to work and today were removed to the dis- trict jail and put behind bars, two in each cell.

PROBE OF COAL PRICES. That a thorough investigation into | | the coal situation will be made when the special the federal coal ! Harry assured. committee appointed by administrator Dr. A. Garfleld, meets seems At present the committee composed of Chairman Ernest Christ, William Farley and A. N. Abbe is Plainville News (Continued from Seventh Page) The question of raising the salaries of the town officials did not come up for discussion owing to the fact that the committee appointed to investi- gate conditions failed to make a re- port. Chairman Condell explained that the committee was trying to get in touch with other towns and to get some data regarding the salaries offi- cials were reimbursed within other places. A motion was made to have the town meeting adjourned for three weeks. It was passed. However, in- stead of calling the meeting to order at 8 o'clock the session will begin at 8:30 as Captain Trumbull explained that he would like to have his men have a full hour’s drill. Accept Invitation. The Plainville Home Guard will participate in the parade which win which time a football team picked from the drafted men at Camp Dev- ens, Ayer, Mass., will meet an all-star team in New Britain. Following an invitation which was extended to Capt. Trumbull and members of the Home Guard by Mayor Quigley of New Britain the question was decided by popular vote at last night's drill. Owing to the fact that but few members of the company are not equipped with the heavy khaki uni- forms Captain Trumbull was not en- thusiastic about the idea of enter- ing the parade. However, as a major- ity of the men were willing to brave the elements they will appear in New Britain Saturday. Transportation facilities have not been provided yet, but will be ar- ranged for and announced later in the week. Last night’s drill was one of the snappiest of the season. Owing to the severe coldness of the weather the captain had to put them through “double quick” in order that they might keep warm. Woolen uniforms will be provided for the men who seem to be eager to do their “bit” which was self evident last night when near- ly every member of the company was | present. Plainville Briefs.
