Piainville News BURGLARS ENTER P. HUTTON'S STORE Is Stolen NO (L UE_ T0 THIEVES Entrance Effccted Thorugh Transom Over Front Door—Plainville Do- nates Generously to the Y. M. C. A. and K. of C. Fund. - One of the most daring robberies in years was committed last night or in the early hours this morning when the dry goods store of P. Hutton & Son on Whiting street was broken into. Wearing apparel valued at $150 was stolen. Although the local po- lice are making an investigation they had nothing to report this morning. The only clue to the thieves is a Plack suit of clothes which was found in the store this morning and a mack- inaw which was found just behind the store in an ash barrel. Entrance was efiected through a transom over the front door. That the store had been visited by robbers was learned this morning about 7 o'clock shortly after Manager E. G. Jones had opened shop for the day. Noticing that hats, suits and other wearing apparel was scattered over the floor he at once began an investigation. Officer Philip Marino was notified of the robbery and went to the scene. The transom was still open this morning and the steel bar which held it in place was bent. Presumably the transom was opened by one of the thieves pushing it as marks. of any instrument or weapon were not in evidence. Not even marks or scratches on the inner or outer sides of the door could be seen. That the thief was a small man is evidenced by the size of the opening through which he crawled. Also the suit of clothes which were found in the store and would fit only a person of small proportions lend support to.this beliet. i There seems to be little doubt in the minds of authorities but what two or more persons were connected with the robbery although information in the hands of officials does not point to this fact. Once inside the store it was an easy matter for the thief to let his ac- complices inside and this, it |is thought, he did by means of prying open two locks on the back door of the store. The locks were opened with a heavy palr of shears. It is also thought that the offenders made good their escape by automo- bile as it would have been almost an Impossibiity to have carried away the stolen goods otherwise. One lined mackinaw, two sheepskin coats, two overcoats, quantity of underclothes, two sults of clothes, nightshirts, hose and scarfs and a heavy sheepskin ulster ard among the articles stolen in addition to three costly sult cases which were missing this morning. It is believed that the thieves/packed the stolen goods in the sult cases to make transportation | easier. One of the thieves deliberately changed his outer garments in the store leaving for reimbursement for the newer articles an old black suit of clothes, which contained a half eaten bar of chocolate. The worn- out suit was turned inside out in a search of some mark of identity which would determine the owner's name. Not even the wholesaler’s trade mark remained on the garments. Evidently i the thief had left no stone unturned to conceal his identity. \ \ Officer Marino this morning stated that he patrolled the town until h)ng'x after midnight and went home in the | neighborhood of 2:30. He was of the opinion that the break was made af- | ter that hour. P. Hutton of Southington who con- ducts a business in that place of which the local store was a branch was in town this morning and helped to take inventory of the stock in or- der to determine the goods stolen last night. He stated that $150 | would probably cover the cost of the | articles missing. It was learned this morning that an automobile was seen about the center at a late hour last night and which is sald to have contained several sus- picious looking individuals. Shortly after it was learned that the Hutton store had been entered a rumor was circulated that the freight depot had also been broken into. In- vestigation proved that this report was mythical. Last night's robbery is the first to take place in this town in several months. TIn fact, since Plainville storekeepers suffered an epidemic of petty thefts everything has been quiet. This morning officer Marino stated that he was handicapped in his work | because local business men do not | keep a light in thir stores at night. During the hours he is on duty he stated that he makes it a’point to try the doors of the different stores to see if they are open. He said that he would be unable to see a thief in the stores because of the darkness. Unless the officer's suspicion was | 3 thief might after gaining entrance through the rear of any of the various stores complete his mis- sion and make good his escape in the gloom. Charles Corbin. Funeral services for Charles Corbin who died yesterday in Middletown will be held Saturday afternoon at the home of his sister at 69 Whiting street. Rev. E. C.

Funeral services for Charles Kings- bury were held yesterday from the undertaking rooms of W. A. Balle: Rev. R. C. Burton officlated and in- terment was in West cemetery. Mr. Kingsbury is survived by a brother Alfred L.

A. and K. of C. war camp fund they have tak- | a shot at autocracy and will before the issue is brought to a close go “over the top.” It was announced this morning that $1,719 had been con- tributed ‘to the fund. The allotment of the town is $2,600 and there still one day before the campaign wjll be braught to a close. This evening there will be a get- to-gether meeting of the workers at the town hall at 8 o’clock. Reports on what has been done will be read. Plans will also be made to make th last day of the campaign a “big un.” Captains of the eight teams have made reports as follaws: 8. 8. Gwillim . R. C. Usher F. T. Wheelor L. L. Brastow H. A. Castle C. H.. Newton Pl Prior F. L. Benzon .... . 101.00 These amounts total up to $1,719 or over two-thirds of the entire allot- ment. Every effort will be made to reach the $2,500 mark. Inasmuch as there is only one dayv remaining before the campaign must close tomorrow will be the last chance persons will have to contribute to the Red Triangle fund. Plainville at present is among the leading towns in the state in point of contribution to this fund. Tomorrow in various citles and towns in the United States special efforts will be made to boom the subscription list. Whether Plain- ville will be honored by being the first to complete its total allotment remains to be seen. “Don’t forget that the money raised will provide comforts for our boys” Is the slogan of the workers.

THE CAPTAIN TALKS Foremost of German Aviators Says It Will Be An Impossible Task to Get 20,000 Trained Copenhagen, Baron von It leading aviator cxpresses himself a. unconcerned over the reported pre parations to place 20,000 the western front. He es it will be impossible to get together that many trained pilots, as the training is long and costly and involves heavy casualty. The new comers he says will, particularly at first, “be unable to judge the military conditions, and at least per cent. of the machines will he dis- abled during the long transport.” Lieut. Gen. von Ardenne, of the Berliner Tageblatt, who reports this conversation with von Richthofen at the Flanders front, adds that the air service, which evidently has been fare- warned by newspaper discussioh of American plans, is steadily increas- ing the number of aviators and machines. German fighting airplanes. Gen- von Ardenne says, NOW Carry wire- less receiving outfits which enable them to: engage in combat promptly with enemy fliers. This is necessitated by new conditions on the Flanders front, where whole squadrons of Al- lied machines can appear over the German lines in a surprisingly short time. Gerthan squadrons starting from the ground to meet the invadors would be too late, so they must con- stantly be in the front lines either fiying or Teady for flight. Gen. von Ardenne discusses various new developments of the Flanders fighting, amang them the decrease in the use of hand grenades, which in close fighting are as dangerous to friends as to foes. They are being displaced by light machine guns and special units whose task is.to seek out enemy batteries by sight or hearing. The muzzle flaish of a gun, he says, is observed by from three to five sta- tions connected by telephone and the position of the gun is determined easily. Special apparatus has been designed to determine the distance and direction in which the sound of a cannon’s discharge comes. $ 59.25 575.00 493.25 180.60 18.00 274.6 26.75 Aviators, 15.—Captain Germany’s Nov. ichthofen, FAILS TO E¥GISTER.
