Moderator Charles M. Jarvis B W. nied Witness Fees—Venturo Before Commissioner—Local Men Elecued —Grange Exemplifies Degrees. Professing to be ignorant of the English language, although 24 hours previous she spoke fluently when she made a complaint against Joseph XKelly for assaulting her, Mrs, Mary Garboski made a poor witness for the state and as no direct evidence' . was brought ingto find the man gullty,] “he was discharged by Judge George G. Griswold in the town court th(s‘ morning. It was evident that the complainants did not wish to prose-| cute the accused. ‘When the court was called to order iy by Judge Griswold at 9 o'clock, Mrs. ' Garboski, her husband and a boarder who had asked for Kelly’s arrest, were | absent. Constable John J. Hackett and Officer Willlam J. Ritchie were ®ent to summon them to court. On thelr arrival they were severely reprimanded by Prosecutor ‘Gibney , for their non-appearance. When « asked why -they were not in court after making a complaint, Garboski, enswering for the trio, replied that they were excited at the time and did not understand the hour. Mrs. Garboski, who yesterday al- leged that Kelly tried to choke her, was called to the witness stand. When Prosecutor Gibney asked her what her name was the woman looked at #him blankly. Upon being questioned further she shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. The ald of John Peters of Kensington was en- listed as Interpreter. All that Mrs. Qarboski could tell was that Kelly choked her. Her husband and a boarder, ~had accompanied Mrs. Garbpski to make the complaint, testified that neither saw the woman assaulted. Bhe had no marks on her neck. In his own defense, Kelly denied as- who ! Kensington presided. Represenlatives were present from lin, New Britain, Newington, Meri- den ‘Rocky Hill, Middietown, Kensing- { ton, Plantsville, and Sauthington. At the annual electionr of officers E.

School Enumerator Busy, Expecting to secure over 1,000 names of school children, ranging | from the ages of 4 to 15 years, School Enumerator Ernest W. Mildrum is making a thoroqugh canvass of every house In Berlin. Last year Mr. Mil- drum secured the names af 927 children. The town is compensated with $2.25 from the state for every child attending school. Didn’t Like Berlin. Taking a sudden dislike to the win- try winds that blow over Kensington, about 22 laborers brought here from New York yesterday by the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road departed for the metropolis dur- ing the night, taking French leave. When the foreman of the construc- tion gang called at the camp this morning to awaken his men, he was surprised to find only two remaining and ready to go to work. Lack of labor has been hindering the company in getting the road into shape for the winter months. Most of the men that have been working at the depot during the summer have left to seek a warmer climate. Degrees Conferred. ‘With guests present from New Brit- ain, Bristol, Plainville and Avon, the third and fourth degrees were ex- emplified at the Berlin Grange meet- saulting the woman. He said he had fived at the woman's IHfouse until a week ago. Yesterday he called to re- move his belongings and although he had some words with his former mis- “tress, he emphatically denled assault- ing her. Kelly appeared in court with his four little children. During court Pproceedings the little tots playfully amused themselves abaout the chairs. # Their mother had recently died. Kelly was discharged with a warn- ing by Judge Griswold. He was told that if he ever appeared in the local oourt again he would be dealt with Severely. The usual ‘witness fees were denied o the complainants. '+ Appears Before Commissloner. ‘William Venturo of Kensington ap- ing last evening. Among those pres- ent was State Inspector BRddy of Avon. The degrees were conferred upon the following: Mr. and Mrs. My- ron Goodrich, George Cardell, God- frey Holmquist, George Hotchkiss, Leroy Segal, Mrs. Genevieve Nichols and Marmon Peck. The degree team, which has been practicing for the past two months for the drill, was heartily applauded for its work. A harvest supper was served.) An excellent program for the next meet- ing of the Grange is being prepared by Miss Irene Viets, chairman. Bazar Committec Meets. A meeting of the chairmen of the committees of the bazar that is to be glven at Athletic hall in East Berlin on November 21 and 22 was held last evening at the home of Mrs. Robert O. Clark in East Berlin. Plans for the bazar ‘were discussgd and the dates for holding the affair were decided upon.: The proceeds will go for the benefit of the EHast Berun Methodist church. Liberty Ohorus, The next meeting of the Liberty Chorus will be held on Wednesday evening, November 14, at the town hall. Joseph C. Beebe, organist at the South church, New Britain, who was selected to direct the looal chorus, will be in charge of the rehearsal. ‘Expect Call Soon. Although the local drafted men have not received notices to report for duty at Camp Devens, the men who are subject to the call expect to be summoned within the next few wdeks. The quota from this district at Camp Devens is not complete. The exemption board is busy compiling the names and fllling out cards for those who are to be called into the service of Uncle Bam. The names of local men who will be called have not been given out yet. D ° Planning Campaign. Thomas W. Bmerson, chairman of the local committee in charge of the campaign to be conducted here next week by the Y. M. C. A. and Knights of Columbus, attended a meeting of the general committee in New Britain last evening. The Berlin committee will hold a meeting tomorrow to out- line plans for the drive. The cam- palgn will be conducted for a week commencing next Sunday. Briefs. Ensign J. A, Nelson, Yale '19, spent the past few days as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. O. Benseon of East Ber- lin. The funeral of John George, who died Monday at his home in Kensing- ton, was held yesterday from St Paul’'s Roman Catholic church. Rev. J. C. Brennan officiated and burial was in St. Mary’s new Catholic cemetery, New Britain. Although the local authorities have been conducting a rigid investigation, no arrests have yet been made for the damage done last week on farms of E. Allen Moore. HAVE A SANDWICH. Washington, Nov. 7.—The National ‘Woman’s party announced last night that its chairman, Miss Alice Paul, is on & hunger strike in the hospital ‘of the District jail, where she is serving seven months for picketing the White House. The statement given out at headquarters says. ““Alice Paul is hunger striking in the jall hospital, refusing to eat the special food provided for her until proper food be given all suffrage pris- oners. Miss Rose Winslaw of New York, also in the hospital, is taking the same stand. “Miss Paul also demands to be taken back to the jail propor, to her companions, from whom she was re- moved against her will last night.” BURGLAR ARRESTED, Danbury, Nov. 7—Salvan Divigarde, of Waterbury, was brought to this city today on a charge of burglary. It is alleged that he had part in a long gerles of burglaries here last summer. Other members of the alleged gang of burglars were arrested several weeks ago. Divigarde disappeared a! the time, but returned to his home in Waterbury yesterday, and Wwas ar. rested. considered one of the best Y. M. C. A. workers on the fleld he will un- doubtedly prove interesting and his talk should be highly instructive. ' Highway Opens. The Plainville - Bristol which has bsen under construction since last April, opened for traffc yesterday aftefnoon. As soon as the last stretch of amiesite had been laid, rolled and the top dressing of sand distributed on the surface of the road, automobiles, wagons and other vehicles took advantage of the 'new pavement and its inviting possibilities. The road is undoubtedly one of the best in the state and few highways can be found that were constructed along lines similar to those which the Con- necticut and Rhode Island company followed out in the course of build- ing. Instead of leveling off the road- bed and laying the amiesite top, a six- inch cement feoundation was laid which was aliowed to stand a number of days in arder that it might harden. Two grades of amiesite were ‘'used to cover the cement foundation. The coarse grade was placed next to the rough foundation and was in turn coveved by a flne grade of amiesite. After being rolled the top dressing of amiesite was sprinkled with fine sand. It the road had been completed during the warmer months it would have had to be kept closed to the public for several days in order to glve the amiesite a chance to harden. However, owing to the severe cold- ness vesterday thel last stretch @f amiesite was hard enough to permit public use as soon as it had been rolled. \ ‘West Main street'now looks like a real thoroughfare with the new high- way and the cement walk laid only recently in front of the Bristol Man- ufacturing company. It compares fa- vorably with main streets in larger towns and cities. Few places can boast of better roads and streets than the town of Plainville. Idberty Chorus. Due to a misunderstanding in dates it was announced in last evening's Herald that there would be a meet- ing in the Town hall last night for the purpose of forming a Liberty Chorus in Plainville. As a result a number of the townspeople turned out and went to the Town hall with the in- tention oftering their services as members of the chorus. They were told that although the Herald stated that the meeting was to be held Tuesday night it was in reality to take place Wednesday night. The meceting will be held tonight and as everyone seems enthusiastic over the prospects of having a local chorus it is expected that it will be largely attended. State Director Stev- ens who has charge of the Liberty Chorus work in the state will be pres- ent to address the meeting and will also help in the organization of a lo- cal Chorus. A committee will prob- ably be appointed to select a capable leader to have charge of the work done in this town. Everyone who llkes to sing is in- vited to be present. There will be no highway, 'voice trials and no dues attached to To Be Called Soon. It is expected that the last fifteen per cent. of men included in the first draft will receive their notifications in the near future summoning them to report at the cantonment at Ayer at a certain date. It is said that the local exemption bonrd is expecting hourly orders from Washington to notify €nough men in this district to fill the quota. The quota for the district is 400 and at present in the neighborhood of 350 men have been sent to Ayer from the various towns included in the district. Although Clerk Benjamin I. Miller stated that he could not tell defin- itely just how many men would be needed to fill the ranks he was of the opinion that 60 men would be chosen from the vnrloux towns on the next call. Judging from Mr. Miller's state- ment it seems as though less than five men would be called upon as Plain- ville’s last offering in the first draft. The men have been certificd by the local board as/to whether they are eligible for military duty and exemp- tions and everything is in readiness to call them at a moment's notice. start of the winter season—at very special reduc- tions for quick clearance.

As is the case each year there are & number of men who failed to file a Hst of their taxable property with the assesgors during the days they were in session in the town hall. Using last year's list the assessors will check up the names of all delinquents and a ten per cent. increase will be added to all taxable property which they own in the town. A large share of those who did not report to file lists are sald to be residents of other places who pwn land in Plainville. To Compile Ldst. In order to insure proper transpor- tation facilities for the Home Guard and wishing to be prepared in case of eventualities Captain John H. Trumbull is compiling a list of motor vehicle owners whose cars could be mustered into service at a moment's warning. The importance of such a step was shown last Sunday when offi- cers of the local organization were or- dered to send a detail to Hartford for guard duty. Shortly after the signal was blown for mobjlization of the company practically every mermber of the organization was prepared for ac- tive service. As only eighteen men were chosen to make the trip to Hartford slight difficulties were en- countered in providing amdple means of transportation. If orders had stat- ed that the entire company was to re- port at a neighboring town for duty it is thought material delay would have resulted from the inability to se- cure a sufficient number of autos to transport the men to their destination. Owners of cars now have a Chance to do their “bit” by offering the use of their cars to the Home Guard in times of stress. Names should be sent to Captain John H. Trumbull. Briefs.

STILL MORE LETTERS ‘SHOW KING’S AID Constantine of Greece Kept in Touch With Berlin Assisting the Mur- dering Huns in War. London, Nov. 7.—A despatch to Reuter's from ‘Athens says another series of telegrams which were de- spatched to Berlin during the regime of King Constantine have been pub- lished, and that they show the secret efforts of the former king to help the Germans win the war. Official despatches dated January 21, 1916 follow: “The King of Greece pledges his word_to the German emperor that in no circumstances shall any soldier or native be employed by the royal gov- ernment against the German troops or their allies., Greece consents to the use of th€ Drama-Seres railway by Germany and her allies.” Another telegram dated two days | later says the correspondent explains the journeys of Prince Nicholas Prince Andre to Petrograd and don had no political character. says the visits were intendad L draw closer the bonds which ezist between the royal house of @ and the courts of London and Lro grad—bonds which of late have been very much relax In later telegrams the correspen: dent concludes, King Constantine be- ‘wailed that he could not do what he wanted to do because of Entente . pressure and the blookade, LONG SCRIMMAGE AT OORNEDD.
