Miss Valenti has taught in Kensing- ton since the beginning of the fall session. ~During this short time she has made many friends and it is with much regret that it was learned that she is to leave. Mrs. Rakowski Discharged. i As no direct evidence was produced to show that the chickens which have been trespassing on the property of Joseph Kingo in Kensington belonged to Mrs. Julius Rakowski, the case against the Woman was dismissed by Judge George G. Griswold in the town court Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Rakowski's son testified that aftor receiving notice from Mr. Kir that their chickens were trespassing on his property and that he would re- sort to the court if the nuisance was not stopped, the fowl have been kept in an enclosure. Autoist Discharged. As State Policemen Pinnell and Mitchell failed to appear in court Sat- urday afternoon to testify against Worthington Reynolds of Bridgeport, who was arrested by them for speed- ing, the man was discharged by Judge Griswold. Mr. Reynolds was arrested {1ast week but asked an adjornment to secure counsel, New Britain Boys Fined. Verlisto Dessaceo and Tony Cabrise | of New Britain, both about fifteen | vears of age, were fined $1 and costs, totaling $5 for setting fire to Fred Norton's lots in Kensington Saturday. The fathers of the boys appehred in court and testified to their sons’ pre- vious good behavior. It was only through the timely assistance of farm help that the fire, which might have resulted disastrously, was extinguished before much damage was done. To Be Tried for Speeding. Charles F. Stevens, a Boston steel manufacturer will appear before Judge Griswold tqmorrow morning on the charge of driving his automobile through Berlin at a reckless rate of speed.

The honor roll board in front of the town hall has been completed and is attracting much attention. The names of the young men from this town who are serving in the army have been inscribed on the board. Men to Be Called Soon. The remaining 1§ per tent of the drafted men from Berlin will be called within a few days according to a statement given out this morning by Judge Benjamin I. Miller of Awvon, who is the clerk of the district ex- emption board. Judge Miller stated that the names of the men who are to go to Camp Decvens have already been certified and will be given out for publication within a few day The reason that the sending of the men has been delayed, he added, was because the board is waiting for a notice from the War Department at Washington to call the men into serv- ice. \ A number of men, who were ex- uminad several months ago in Plain- ville and claimed exemption on the grounds of dependency have received notice within the past few days that theyv have been discharged tem- i porarily from duty.

How it feels to be hurled trrough space a distande of 20 reet after losing your bakwce following an attempt to ride on ar invisible clevator and to bring up with sudden shock against !'a hara floor can hest be described by i as the i by Edward R. Atwood, who is employed by the Adams Express agency. This morning Atwood’s duties took him to the Trumbull factory and to the first floor of the building. ing his % Finish- work he stepped toward the elevator well. vator was stationed at that floor he casually stepped where he thought the elevator ‘\vasé—bu[ was not. As a result he tell from the first floor to the cellar. He was taken to his home and attended by Dr. Tanner, who found that the young man had sustained numerous injuries. Besides being generally shaken up he received a deep cut on his head and abrasions and lacerations of ,the legs and body. It is not @éxpected thyl the injuries are serious. It is said that the gates in front of the elevator which should be closed when the elevator is elsewhere were open and were responsible for Atwood’s fall. Drafted Men to Leave Soon.” That the last 15 per cent of the first draft fromg Plainville as well as . from other towns about the state will leave within the next few days for camp has been predicted. to a statement rnade by officers in charge of the cantonment at Ayer anent the time those who complete the last contingent on the first draft will leave for Camp Devens the mat- ter of getting the last increment of men under way now lies solely with the various local exemption boards about the state. Through the columiis of the press Sunday it was announced that the rea- son why the last 15 per cent had not been called was that there were mno overcoats or gloves for the last incre- ment of the drafted men. It further added that at the present time-officials at the cantonment could now produce the necessary wearing apparel as soon local exemption boards pro- duced the men All the Home Guard companies in this state and in New York, state have request turned in their khakl oolen overcoats. These overcoats hich are made of the same material and are of the same pattern as regu- lar army overcoats will be used by the drafted men in the war camps. Another thing which ig thought to have held back the last contingent was the fact that the cantonment at Ayer was overgrowded with men. As a number of drafted men have been used to fill up the ranks of the Na- tional Guard and regular army, have been sent to southern training camps and others have been sent overseas, there is at present room at the camp to accommodate in the neighborhood of 7,000 men, according to reports. The last fifteen per cent will be com- posed of between 5,000 and 6,000 men it is thought. This morning Benjamin 1. Miller, chairman of the local exemption board anrounced that the list of those men who will leave with the last fifteen per cent has heen certified. H stated alsc that contrary to press re- ports it was not up to the exemption boards now to send the men. o exemption board is waiting for offl- cial orders from Washington before sending the last group of men to the war camps” was his statement when Thinking that the ele- | According ' The Hartford Silk Store .

Arrested for Drunkenness, Patrick Dolan was arrested Satur- day night at the center for drunken- men ness. He was taken into custody about midnight by Officer Marino and placed in the local lockup. That was Saturday night and this morning he was still there owing to the fact that eiforts of Officer Marino to lo- cate a grand juror who would prose- cute the case were of no avail. Stanley 8. Gwillam, one of the grand jurors, was out of town; Grand Juror Williams was unable to be in court on account of business, it is said, while A. H. Dresser, who was re- cently elected a grand juror, refused to prosecute a case on the" Sabbath | day, it is claimed. ! As a result, Officer Marino had to keep his charge in the lockup over Sunday, Court will probably be held today If a prosecutor can be secured. Considerable comment has been heard concerning the stand taken by one juror in refusing to prosecute the case. Citizens state that formerly of- fenders who were taken into custody on Saturday nights were tried the fol- lowing day. They also mention that, owing to the conditions in the local lockup, jt is hardly humane to keep a prisoner within the confines of the lockup longer than necessary. Storekcepers Light Up. « As far as can be learned, the efforts af the state police or the local offi- cers to locate the persops who en- tered the store of P. Hutfon on Whit- ing street last Tuesday have been fruitless. It seems to be another of those mysterious burglaries which are never accounted for. The thieves, it is believed, were not local men, but outsiders whp had planned the “job” and left for distant parts as soon as it was completed. | Storekeepers, following the rob- | bery, have started to burn the mid- night oil early cvery store in town is dimly lighted now at night as a| matter of preparcdness asgainst, thieves who work at night under tho; subtle cover of darkness.

TRANSPORTING WOUNDED BRITISH TROOPS ON LIGHT RAILWAY PROTECTEb BY CAMOUFLAGE that Officer Marino, who patrols the streets at night should be able to de- tect breakers of the law who attempt to enter the stores. Burglars also as a general rule do not attempt to enter places which are lighted and if they do their first move would be to ex- tinguish all lights. Marino has made a list of the stores which are lighted and should one of the lights suddenly be extinguished the officer would be automatically informed that some- thing was wronsg.
