Griswold tomorrow morn- ing. On October 22, the case was first heard before Judge Griswold and after the state had brought in . all its evidence, Woods when asked if he wished to testify in his own behalf, requested an adjournment. This was granted and the case was adjourned until Oct. 26. When the court was called to order on this day, Carl Schwartz, chief witness for the state although subpoenaed and warned to be in court, was absent. A caplas was issued and served on Schwartz by Constable John J. Hackett and should nothing unforeseen occur the case will probably be tried tomorrow. It is charged that Woods drove his motorcycle in a reckless manner . SPEEDSTERS HEAVILY FINED Five Evaders of the Law in Court To- i morrow—aAdjourned Case of Woods To Be Heard—Berlin Construction 'Company Offifficials Critized. . While testifying against evaders of the automobile laws in court Satur- day, State Policemen Arthur Pinnell and Thomas A. Mitchell ‘perceived a ' machine whirl by the town hall at an excessive rate of speed. Rushing trom the court room, the officers gave | chase and overtook the speedsters. There were four men in the car which . was owned and driven by Frank H. Armant of Hamder. No special session was necessary as court was in progress and Armant .vras arraigned hefore Judge George G. Griswold and found guilty of speed- ing. He was fined 325 and costs totalling $35. The party then pro- ceeded on its way to the Windsor horse races. As a result of the activities of the state police here last Friday, eight automobilists were arraigned before udge Griswold, Saturday and in ch case, a fine was assessed. Five more will be tried tomorrow morn- ing. The automobilists were fined as | follows: Frederick A. Judd, Hartford, speeding, $10 and costs; L. B. Camp- bell, Hartford, speedin $10 and costs; Lester Decontillon, Meriden, speeding, and no license, $35; Wil m J. Webster, Berlin, no rear light, _"$10; Thomas F. Mahan, Southington, speeding, $10 and costs; Martin Col- lty, Waterbury, no lights and speed- ing, $20; Lambert Leehdes, Hartford, speeding, $10 and costs. Bonds of $30 in the case of Frank M. McGinnis of Jersey City, N. J., were forfeited en non-appearance. Webster Forgot License. “fAlthough arrested and told to be present in court where he must djs- play his license card on demand, Wil- Hem J. Webster when requested by Judge Griswold to exhibit his li- cense, the Berlin man failed to have ' it.” He told the judge that he left the Hcense in his machine. A few min- utes later, he returned and notified the court that he didn’t have it with hifm but that it was home. He asked for permission to secure it and was ‘told by the state police that he would pe arrested again if he attempted to drive his car without a license. It was necessary for Mr. Webster to telephone to his father to bring the cense into court before the entangle- I 5nt was straightened out. “+¥ Woods to Be Tried Tomorrow. The adjourned ecase of Harold Woods of Kensington, charged with yeckless driving will come up for trial for the third time before Judge | 20, on the Beech Swamp road on October colliding with Adolph Wallentin, the man dying as a result of the in- juries sustained. Mortimer H. Camp | of New Britain will appear for Woods and Prosecutor will conduct the case for the state. Pass Minimum Amount. With the second Liberty Loan drive having been [bfought to a successful close, much ¢ommendation was heard | today over the excellent campaign ! that was conducted by, the women. | Enough praise cannot be given to the women who made the bond sale here a success. Working against great odds, such a subscribing through out- of-town bankKs and concerns, over $60,000 in subscriptions was secured. In speaking of the work dome by | the women, Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis, general chairman, enthusiastically praised their work. While discussing the work Mrs. Jarvis said, “T wish to thank my committees and all who | helped in perfectly splendid work to make the second Liberty Loan cam- paign here a success. All worked in- dustriously to raise the allotted quota and every one in a position to do did their bit. “In East Berlin, Mrs. R. O. Clark, chairman, and Mrs. Willlam Bunce combined with the patriotic efforts of Mr. Clark and tht men in his various enterprises, brought the quota’in that district up to $10,600. In Kensington, Mrs. Charles F. Lewis and her com- mittee, Mrs. Charles Gibney, Mrs. Gearge Tryon, Mrs. C. J. Burr, Mrs. Ora Edgerly, Mrs. James Maloney, Mrs. Charles Sharpe, Miss Marjorie Moore, Miss Esther Alling, Miss Julie Ryan. Miss Adele Bassett, Miss Paul- ine Bauer and Mrs. E. J. Lawrence, made a most thorough canvass of that portion of the town securing sub- scriptions for a total of $7,750. This ! with the wonderful help af Mr. Rey- !nall of the American Paper Goods company where $19,500 worth of onds were purchased. Kensington secured a grand total of $27,250. | “In Berlin a vigorous drive was alsa |made and the committee, Miss Eliza- | beth P. Wilcox, Mrs. George F. Dodd, Mrs. -‘Alice Huston, Miss Olive Shaw, Miss Carrie Savage, Mrs. T. B. Wick- wire, Mrs. Edwin Adams, Mrs. Frank Clark, Mrs. John T. Molumphy and Mrs. Woods, obtained $14,- 500 worth of subscriptions. Mrs. Frank S. Bacon, with a very limited field in Beckley to work, secured $1,400. “In short the what a month ago impossible to accomplish and have sold $53,300 worth of bonds. Ber- lin'’s quota seemed almost out of pro- portion with her 4,000 population and | i women have done seemed utterly Willlam H. Gibney | ing that we have their labors.” Construction Company Criticized. Much criticism as to the stand taken by the Berlin Construction company by failing to subscribe for their liberty bonds through the Ber- lin committee, was heard this morning. A number of prominent citizens were indignant when it became known that the concern subsecribed through a New Britain banking house for over $10,000 worth of bonds. No words were spared in condemming the act of the company. One prominent citizen while discus- sing the campalgn accused the con- struction of unloyalty to the town. Inasmuch as the concern employs a large number of Berlin people and the firm is located here, the citizens de- clared that the officlals should have subscribed throught the local bank He further stated that the contract for the new bridge near the American Paper Goods company was awarded to the local concern, although it is said that several bids were lower. “For this reason, if no other”, he said “they should have subscribed here.” Secures Assistant. Dr. R. M. Griswold has secured the services of Dr. B. C. Morantz of New Haven who will be associated with him in his practice after the first of the month. Dr. Morantz is a native of Switzerland, but received his edu- cation in this country, being gradu- ated from the schools and colleges in New York city and in Baltimore, and has practiced in New Haven for the past three years. Dr. Frederick C. Quitzrau\of Toron- to, Canada, who has been temporar- ily assisting Dr. Griswold for the past month will look after the practice of Dr. T. C. Hodgson of East Berlin dur- ing the three months that he will be away on his vacation. Marches With Tabs. Although now residing in Meriden, William J. Dooley, a former well known Kensington resident was pres- ent on Saturday to march with the St. Paul's T. A. & B. Drum corps in the soldiers’ celebration in New Britain. Mr. Dooley has been in the grocery business in Kensington for the past twenty-four years. He recently sold his property and severed his connec- tions with S. M. Cowles, who conducts a grocery store on Main street, and removed to Meriden. * ‘While residing here Mr. Dooley took an active part in all public af- fairs. He is the organizer of St. Paul's Drum corps and has been the treasurer of Court Mattebessett, For- esters of America, for the.past fifteen yvears. He is also one of the organ- izers of the choir at St. Paul's church. Mr. Dooley never missed attendance at the Berlin fair since it came Into existence. He has also held many of- fices in the T. A. & B. society. Much regret was expressed when it was learned that he has removed. Berlin Briefs.

Condell AGED RESIDENT DIES A. Food Campaign Starts—Mrs. D. Cady Amnounces Names of Those Appointed as Aides—Bristol-Plain- ville Highway Nears Completion. Five men of Portuguese extraction and employes.of the Connecticut Trap Rock company each purchased a “Liberty Bond” when arraigned - in coult yesterday afternoon before Judge A. H. Condell. The purse strings of the pocketbooks were opend when, after being found guilty of Wworshipping at the shrine of the “kitty”, the judge imposed fines of from $2 to $7 and costs. The men who live in shanties at White Oak contiguous to the quarry are confirmed advocates of the great national indoor game and it is said that of the company from their pay en- velape through the medium of a “cold deck”. Many complaints have been made to the local police anent the activities of the pasteboard artists and Sunday morning Officer Marino and Anderson made a raid on the den tak- ing those present into custody. Ellen Louise Fenn. One of the oldest natives of the town passed away yesterday in the person of Ellen Louise Fenn, daughter of the late Appollos Fenn and Amelia C. Fenn. Death was due to cancer with which she had been suffering several years. She is survived by a sister Mrs. Bessie M. Pike Who is the only living survivor. The funeral services will be held at the home of Mrs. Pike at 23 Strong Court Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. E. C. Gillette, pastor of the Plainville Congregational church will officiate, Interment will be in West cemetery. Br-r-r-, But It's Cold. Unfavorable comment has been heard against the Connecticut Trolley company because of the fact that trol- ley cars on the Plainvile trolley line are not heated. Motormen and con- ductors say that they are not to blame because the company has not installed fuses in the cars as yet, although the weather warrants such action. This morning the thermometer reg- istered one of the coldest days of the season but in spite of the fact those riding on the cars had to bundle up or take chances on catching cold. With the advent of the 6-cent fare citizens think that they should be at least entitled to heat one or two morn- ings a week. Plainville Over-Subscribes $13,000. Statistics formulated at the Plain- ville Trust company show that the maximum allotment for the town of Plainville was over-subscribed $13,000. “This town never starts anything it can’t finish,” one citizen remarked upon learning that Plainville had more than done its “bit” to help the United States successfully carry on the war. All day Saturday and until 9 o’clock subscriptions to the loan were handed in through members of the general committee or through the Trust com- pany. A few subscriptions were sent in by mail and did not arrive until Sunday. Even this morning several residents of the town appeared at the bank asking if it was too late to buy a Liberty Bond. Because of the fact that the books were closed Sat- urday night but permission was grant- ed to take Sunday subscriptions the belated would-be purchasers of loans had to be refused. A. A. MacLeod, chairman of the general committee is very enthusias- tic over the showing that the workers have made. He stated this morning that he wished to thank members of the general committee, the sub-com- mittees, the women's organization, other organizations and all those who subscribed to bonds, fqr their hearty co-operation in making the project a success. Food Campaign Starts. The following women have been appointed by Mrs. A. D. Cady to as- sist her in connection with the Hoov- er pledge card campaign which has been inaugurated: Mrs. Fred Callen, Miss Rooney, Miss Brock, Mrs. How- ard LaField, Mrs. W. A. Cassidy, Mrs. Myron Rogers, Mrs. Harry Curtis: Mrs. Walter Calor, Mrs. Minton Nor- ton, Mrs. Helen Freeman, Mrs. George Case, Mrs. Morris Corning. 607 cards have been sent to the committee as Plainville’s allotment. Endeavor wili be made to have each of the cards signed. A canvass of the town started today. It has been explained that the Hoover pledge card campaign is not entirely left to the women of the com- munity. That the men actively con- cern themselves with the campaign is to colors Saturday.

New York, Oct. 29.—Miller Huggins said on Thursday that he had heard enough about the Yankees to belleve | that comparatively little strengthen- ing would make them a winning baseball club. He probably was right. Before they were cut to pieces by injuries the Yankees showed consid- erable ability. Early last season they looked strong, and as late as August Bill Danovan had them well up in the race, If their entire material can be kept out of the hospital there is quite a list with which to build. In the first place, they always have had a good pitching staff: Caldwell, Fisher, Shawkey, Shocker, Cullop, Mogridge Love, McGraw, Russell, Ross, Piercy, Monroe and the rest are all hurlers and their clubs would welcome. It sometimes has seemed that the club had too many pitchers Irving and Henry Tyler are visiting | and $1.75 values. and Nunamake is a veteran who knows oppesing batters and who can wallop the ball.
