MALICIOUS DAMAGE AT MOORE FARNS Haystacks Barned, Belts Cut, and; Gasoline Tanks Punctured MAKE RIGID INVESTIGATION Acts Believed to Have Been Done by Disgruhtled Fmployes 3 Chickens Cause Trouble—(Conservation - of - Food Campaign Successfully Closes. One of the most malicious acts per- petrated In Berlin in years, was brought to the attention of the local authorities late yesterday afternoon, when E. Allen Moore, vice president of the Stanley Works, New Britain, complained that on Thursday night his farms in Kensington were made athe object of attack by some revenge- ful characters, and damage at over $200 was done. Two big haystacks were razed to the ground by fire, a large leather belt on a thrashing ma- chine was cut in four pieces, a gaso- | line tank in a field motor was filled 4vith gravel, a tank on his automb- bile ‘was punctured. and a large tolerate their trespassing on his prop- erty, it proved to no avail. A five days’ notice was merved on Mrs. Ro- salsky this morning and if this does not have its desired effect the woman will be brought into court. Ldberty Chorus a Success. Although the local Liberty chorus has had but two rehearsals, the or- ganization has advanced greatly and is now a success. State Director Bte- vens, of Hartford, in speaking ef the local chorus recently,~-had many com- mendatory things to say. In compar- ison with other choruses which have been organized within the past few weeks about the state, few can com- pare with Berlin's. It is planned to make the chorus a permanent organization here. Re- hearsals will be held an the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month in the town hall. The services of Joseph C. Beebe, organist of the South Congregational church, New Britain, have been secured as direc- tor. Mr. Beebe is well known throughout the state for his musical ability &nd, with him as the head of the local chorus, its success is assured. The Berlin chorus, for the first time since its organization several weeks ago, was called upon to take part in a patriotic. rally in Hartford last evening. The local singers ghve a good account of themselves. The success of the Berlin Liberty chorus reflects much credit upon Les- ter Deming, chairman. The following people signed mem- bership tickets on the last rehearsal Mrs. George Tryon, Mrs. C. H. Joh son, Miss Mary L. Nelson, Miss Eliza- beth M. Valente, Mrs. Lester F. Dem- ing, Mrs. Harold W. Upson, Miss Edith Alling, Mrs. Norman E. Bigelow, Mrs. Morris E. Woodruff, Miss Edna\G. amount of other damage was done about the farm. A rigid investigation is being conducted by the authorities and it is believed that several sus- pects will be arrested. The attention of Mr. Moore to the nefarious acts was called on Thurs- ., day night when two large haystacks, “ valued at about $100, could be seen for miles around; burning. Investiga- tion as to the cause of the fire dis- closed that the damage was done ma- liciously. As a result of the thresh- ing ine being incapacitated, 17 acres/of fleld beans, which were raisefl during the summer, may be de- stroyed by the frost before the ma- aching, can be sufficiently repaired to harvest the crop. The belt on the foachine was practically ruined. In order to make sure that the beans would not be harvested by securing a new belt, the gasgline engine was tampered with and then filled with gravel. Although the theory has been ad- vanced {hat the acts might have been committed by some young hoodlums in celébration of Hallowe'en, the au- thorities place no credence in this. The authorities belleve that the acts were done by some spiteful persons. 1t is’ thought that some disgruntled employes at the Stanley Works had a grievance at the officlal at the fac- atory and took this means of showing their discontent. Too Much Chicken. Acting under a complaint regis- tered by Joseph Kingo of Kensington, Constable John J. Hackett this morn- ing sérved notice on Mrs. J. Rosalsky that she must keep her chickens from oft the Kingo premises or stand a civil action. It is said that Mrs. Rosalsky 1s somewhat of a chicken fancier and .has a number of choice fowl. Her chickens are said to have taken a fancy to strolling about the Kingo premises and have no respectifor his gardens.

Miss Huston listed, counted, and mailed every card secured by the committee. Co-opera- tion in the country-wide movement for economy is promiged by every housewife. Berlin Briefs.

The evening | Funeral services for John Barley- cornm, for the past 23 years a resident of this town, will be held tonight at the stroke of 12. John died offi- clally at the last election which was held in the town hall October 1. Death was due to wounds sustained in a battle with the prohibition party of the town in which John's party failed to appear in- force. Conse- quently he and the ‘faithful few" Were swept off their feet in an over- whelming victory for the “‘drys.”” In- terment will be ‘somewhere in America” outside .of Plainville. - It is expected that tonight will bs 2 big night in Plainville. Such songs as “You're gone but not forgotten,” “You may be gone for a long, long time,” “You don’t know how wé will miss you,” will be sung by the differ- ent groups which gather in the local emporiums. It isn't every day that Plainville goes dry and because of this fact the people are going to make it a mem- orable occasion. It ig expected that some of the hotels will keep open un- til the very last minute. Coplous tears will be shed—but not until after the wine clerks and the patrons per- form that old trick of letting some of the joy oll go ting-a-ling-a-ling via the throat route. The center has seen many demon- strations but probably none will com- pare with tonight's. From what can be learned groups ranging from 10 to 15 persons wil] travel together on thig . eventful night and -see if they cannot get away with some sort of souvenir. It is not giving away a secret to say that the bars in some | of the hotels will be mussed up while it 15 expected that in the vicinity of the center there will be need of extra police. % “Closed,”. That is the sign which has been placed across the door which leads to the inner recesses of J. J. Murphy's dispensary. Therefore there will be no celebration at Mr. | Murphy's this evening. Just why Mr. Murphy closed his saloon in the early | hours of the day is not known but | anyhow there will be one place less | where the celebrators will celebrate. It is expected that several of the cells at the town hall will be occupied as the result of tonight’s program. Ample provision has been made for any serious trouble and strict sur- veillance will be kept for those who, under the influence of liquor, become disorderly. Most of the hotels have sold out their stock or carted it to other towns which are in the “wet” belt but there will be enough on hand tonight to pro- vide for the evening’s entertainment. One of the hotel men plans to keep his stimulants in the cellar but it will have to be sealed by the commission- ers. One or two of the hotels are ex- pected to close up until next election when efforts will be made to have old | John Barleycorn’s spirit rise again. The other hotels will probably re- main open, cater to transient trade, and dish out “near beer”, Bevo and other stimulants which resemble the real article in name. Those who have a hankering for the cup which cheers as well as confuses will travel to Bristol or New Britain via trolley where they may continue their flirta- tions with the spirits to their heart’'s desire. With John Barleycorn no longer in evidence in the town these who are still loyal to the “wets” say that the town will suffer from the prohibition administration. The old arguments are brought up and they say that al- though Plainville will be dry for the next year that there will be just as many “drunks” as ever. Further they state that the stores and the manu- facturers will be the losers. They re- call that in years ago, when Plain- ville was forced to get on the “wa- gon”, the late cars from Bristol or the Plainville-Bristol tramway car- Turnabout {s fair play isn’t it?
