Beriin News SUIT MAY RESULT OVER LOST HEIFER Animal Purchased by Selectman Alling at Public Auction NIGHT CLERK ASSAULTED Complaints Made to Prosecutor Gib- ney—Berlin Literary Society Elects —War Campaign Fund Passes $1,000 5 Mark—Chickens Cause Trouble. Several weeks ago First Selectman Willard I. Alling purchased a strayed heifer at a public auction. The ani- . mal\had wandered upon the property of H. Shulansky and after causing eonsiderable damage was captured. Town Clerk Shaw was notified by Shulansky and after advertising the auction, thé town clerk sold the ani- mal to Jadge Alling, the highest bid- der, for '$33. Now the owner of the heifer, R. Brown, of Cromwell, has #made an appearance. After demand- ing the animal upon the payment of damages and being refused, he has retained counsél with the object of bringing a civil suit for its recovery. According to Attorney D. Ward Northrop, of New' Haven, who h; been retained by Mr. Brown, the own- er of the heifer, upon learning of dis- appearance, traced it to the Shulan- sky farm in Beckley. He offered to pay the local man $10 for the dam- age done to his property by the ani- mal. This was refused and then the animal was sold at auction to the highest bidder. As the case stands at present, Jud Alling has the animal and is minus $33. Shulansky has recovered the smount of damage done to his farm and Town Clerk Shaw has secured the fee for his trouble. Mr. Brown, the owner of the animal is the loser. Town Clerk Shaw stated this morning that he advertised the auction according -to the law and was within his rights while Judge Alling purchased eifer as the highest bidder. ase 1s attracting much attention. Night Operator Assaulted. Robert Stephenson, and clerk at the Berlin railroad sta- | tion, was brutally assaulted last eve- ning at the depot when flve youns hoodlums who were making a nui- rance of themselves in the waiting room administered him a beating when he ordered them to leave. Hec recetved a number of cuts about the face and his nose was badly bruised Tt was at first thought that his nose | Comnlaint was made to William H. Gibney Constable John J.

Prosecutor the The night operator and | { young ruffians have been making the i railroad station their rendozvous { every evening during the past few ! weeks. They have been making of- | fensive remarks and using obnoxious { language. A number of complaints ! were made to Mr. Stephenson of the actions of, the young men. When he tried to upbraid them and ordered them to leave the station, he alleges i they assaulted him. ! Still More Chickens. ¥ In spite of the fact that a notice i was recently served ' by Constablo| John J. Hackett in behalf of Joseph Kingo on Mrs. Julius Rakowski, of Kensingion, to keep her chickens from wandering on Mr. Kingo's prop- erty or be brought into court, the chickens still meander about the Kingo property undisturbed. Another | complaint was made to Constable Hackett this morning by the incensed property owner and it is probable that Mrs. Rakowski will soon be brought before Judge Griswold. Knitting Club Organized. A knitting organization, to be known as the Liberty Knitting club, was in- augurated in Kensington last evening. ! The figst meeting was held at the home of the Misses Trehy on Farm- ington road and was attended by about a dozen of Kensington's prom- inent voung ladies. Although unable to shoulder a rifle, the fairer sex in Kensingtan are determined to do their F. Lewis has been added to the list of solicitors, Bazar Tonight. After completing extensive ar- rangements, the two days' bazar of the Berlin Grange soclety will open this evening at the Grange hall on Farmington road. An elaborate en- tertainment will be in order this eve- ning and Chairman George ‘Reed of the entertainment committee has spared no effort in trying to make the affair a success. Dancing will follow and the music will be furnished by McKeon's orchestra. The moneyr obtained from the bazar will be used to reduce the indebtedness of the or- ganization Incurred by erecting the new hall. Alling Cements Tiles. Indignant over the action of First Selectman Willard I. Alling in having the tiles leading from his building on Farmington road to the main sewer, cemented and causing an overflow in the cellar, J. C. Lincolp of Farming- ton road is contemplating a law suit against the town officlal. The tiles were cemented yesterday by Elmer E. Skinner acting under orders of Selectman Alling. Mr. Lincoln watched the men at work and said that he would consult counsel in New Britain. The tiles belong to Mr. Lincoln and were laid on Farmington road in front of his property several years. The bit and will knit articles for the sol- diers and sailors who have gone from here to serve Uncle Sam. The club will meet cach week at a different member’s home. At the meeting last evening Miss Margaret Luby en- tertained with several pleasing man- dolin- selections and was ably accom- panied on the piano by Miss Lillian Trehy. A dainty luncheon was served. Subscribe to the Fund, With the residents of Berlin re- sponding generously to the Y. M. C. A. and Knights of Columbus fund, the amount of $4,500, which is the goal of the local workers, looks attainable. At a meeting held in the Peck Memo- rial library last evening at which the solicitors were present excellent prog- ress was reported. The total raised in Berlin to date is $1,226. This amount includes only the Berlin and Kensing- ton districts, no report as to the amount subscribed in East Berlin hav- ing been received vet. Much com- mendation as to the manner in whicn the residents of the first district, Ber- lin, responded to the cause was heard this morning. Of the $1,22 Berlin has donated $1,052, Kensing- ton subscribing the remainder. It is believed that Kensington will , have a large total before the Kk is brought to a close. Through the efforts of James J. Fitzsimons, who was appointed to visit all the corporations in Berlin, it is expected that some large subscriptions will bo received from the American Paper Gouds factory and the Berlin Con- struction company. The officials of the | concerns have fallen behind the move- ! men and a campaign to have every cmploye in the factory help the cause is being carried on Another meeting will be held at the home af Thomas W. Emerson toraor- row night and some gratifying reports are expected. Mr. Emerson wishes all the solicitors to malke their final reports not later than Friday evening. . According to Mr. Stephenson the Some large individual donations in Beriin are reported. It has been learned that Major Frank L. Wilcox for the fund and William Waobs donated $100. large amounts have been received. The name of Tax Collector Charles Other | building adjoins the barber shop con- ducted by William Lyons.

McKean in behalf of the lepers at the chapel of the Berlin Congre- gational church this afternoon. Miss McKean gave an interesting accoum: of the work that is being carried on among the people afflicted with the disease.

M. C. A. and K. of C. Fund— $762 Has Been Turned In. If it costs the town of Plainville in the neighborhood of $20 to have «u bonfire extinguished by Fire Chief | “Dick” Norton, the Plainville Hose ! company, et al.,, people are wondering | if it wouldn’t be necessary to mort- gage the town in order to pay a debt which would be incurred if a real con- flagration took place. But of course everything has gone up on account of the war, which seems to be the only logical answer. In these times of stress everyone is trying to cut down expenses, especial- ly unnecessary expenditures. Not only individuals are trying to economize, but towns, too, have started conserva- tion movements. In this town of Plainville 2 movement has been start- ed to eliminate needless expenditure of money along fire protection lines. “Toot! Toot! Toot! Plainville is | saved, etc., etc.,” seems to have struck a friendly chord in the hearts of resi- dents of the town. This morning cit- izens were up in arms over the action taken by Fire Chief Norton in calling out the hose company Monday night to extinguith a fire which had been built by one of the watchmen of the New Haven road at the North Wash- ington street bridge to warm himself. They are of the opinion that Norton should be ousted from office. ' Citizens state that the Plainville Hose company taken as a whole is a decided asset to the town if managed properly. But a recurrence of Monday night's affair would give it a decided leaning toward the liability column. Rumors which cannot be verified are to the effdct that within the next few hours Fire Chief Norton will be able to prefix the letters “Ex" before his name when signing fit. Members of the board of fire com- missioners were reticent this morning when interviewed. Although they stated that one meeting had been held and that another session would take place this afternoon they re- fused to disclose what action had been taken, if any. = Results of their confer- ence will in all probability be made known tomorrow. It seems to be the consensus- that the commissloners are giving Firo Chief Norton a chance to hand in his resignation. For this reason, it is]| said, the board does not wish to di- vulge its decision until later. Yesterday at least one of 'the mem- bers of the fire board visited the scene of the alleged fire, presumably to determine to what extent the fire chief was justified in calling out other ! members of the department. Chief Norton, Tuesday, in an inter- view with a Herald correspondent contended that the watchmen had no right to bullt a fire of any description without a permit being issued or per- mission being granted. He also stated that after discovering the blaze he watched it for 15 minutes to learn if anyone was nearby who would be able to put it out in se it spread. “TIt did spread to the grass and as there did not seem to be anyone in the neighborhood I sent in the alarm,” he asserted. Members of the Hose company as well as the citizens of the town seem to be disgruntled and several of them, it is said, went home Monday night when they learned why they had been called out. It has also been learned that one prominent member of the department has turned in his keys, automatically tendering his resigna- tion at the same time. “Watchful waiting” will only de- termine the eventual outcome of the controversy. Funeral Tomorrow. Funeral services for G. Frank Neale who died Monday morning in the Hartford hospital will be held Thurs- day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Plainville Baptist church. Inter- ment will be in West cemetery. Neale, who was a native of this town was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Rolanzo Neale. For a number of years he worked in the = Session’s Clock company in Forestville. Fra- ternally ‘he was afiiliated with Har- mony lodge of 1. O. O. F. of New Haven and with P. O. S. of A. He was also a Red Man and a member of the Knights of Pythias. For a number of vears he served as a mem- ber of the Forestville fire department.

A Real “Drunk.” John Matoluska returned home this morning after spending the evening in Plainville. He was discovered last night at the stroke of twelve by Offl- cer Marino. John admitted that he imbibed freely in Bristol and had stopped off here enroute to the Hard- ware city. He also admitted that he did not know that this town had en- tered the “dry” column. Officers Marino told John to ‘“beat but John evidently did not get the import of the officer's words and clung tenaciously to his captor. He spent the remainder of the night in the town hall but was liberated this morning after being admonished by the arm of the law. John should find some consolation in the fact that he was the first in- toxicated man to fall into the clutches of the law in over a month. Plainville Briefs.

BRINGS THE NEWS - OF SHIP DISASTER Captain of Luckenbach Tells of the Torpedoing qi His Vessel New York, Nov. 14.—The first news of the sinking of the American steam- ship D. N. Luckenbach on Oct. 27 off the French coast, with the loss of five of her crew, was brought to an At- lantic port yesterday by Captain Gus Smith and twenty-three survivors of the crew, who arrived on a Danish steamship which rescued ‘them from their lifeboats after they. had been battling with the wind and sea for forty-eight hours. 3 Details of the torpedoing of the steamship were given by the captain to the agents of the Luckenbach Steamship company. At noon on Oct. 27 the D. N: Luckenbach was steam- ing about 11 knots, he said, when she was struck by a torpedo on the star- board side abaft the funnel. The torpedo was launched from an un- seen submarine. The explosion pro- sumably killed five members of the engine room crew outright, as they were not seen agaln. The steam- | ship foundered stern fizst in- about twenty minutes. The five men killed were Fred Ol- sen, second assistant engineer, a nat- uralized Norwegfan, whose next kin is George Olsen, father, of Freder- ickstad, Norway,; A. Pena, third assist- ant engineer, whose wife Iives at 863 East Thirty-third sstreet, Brook- lyn; Domois Chromis, fireman; Bemis Evangelous, oiler, and Peter Vallianos, oiler. There was a rough sea running, with a strong breeze, which made it difficult to launch the lifeboats and get them clear away from the ship's side. The captain said that there were plenty of provisions and water in the boats, but the men suffered much from exposure during the two I.days before they were picked up by ! the Danish steamship. { The reason no report of the tor- ipedomg was received previously was that the survivors were picked up by & west-bound steamship and there was no opportunity to communicate tho news to an American or British war- ship. Captains of merchant vessels have strict orders not to use their wireless apparatus at sea as the ! messages could be picked up by enemy submarines. The D. N. Luckenbach left New York on Oct. 13 with 3,000 tons of cargo for the Allies, which went down with the ship. She was an iron single screw steamship of 2,030 gross ‘ ton nage, 830 feet 2 inches long and 38 feet 3 inches beam and 20 fe 2 inches depth of hold. . She wa built at Newoastle on Tyne in 1888 the Lillburn Tower for the: OChin trade and later -became the Sp steamship Pedro. She was captu in the Spanish-American war and her name was changed to Heoctor. After her purchese by the TLuckenbal company the vessel was renamed D. N. Luckenbach. Vi Two other yessels owned by the. same company have had encount recently with German submarines. | The Lewis Luckenbach was torpedoed | and sunk early in October with the. loss of a naval gunner and nine of her crew, and on Oct. 19 the J. L. Luckenbach was sgved from a simi- | lar fate by an American destroyer af-i ter a gun duel which lasted four | hours. In the fight between thgd steamship and the submarine two of’ the American naval gunners apd seven of the crew of the J. L. Luckenbach were wounded. - B DATE WITH WIDSON. 4 Washington, .
