After an absence from Berlin for some months John Simeoni, better known as “‘Smoky John" returned to his old haunts last week. Having no place to sleep and no money with which to buy food, “Smoky" slept in the lots and in order to quench his shirst, it is alleged, stole several bot- tles of milk.

Others. Are Fined 'RGCUSED OF THEFT { Rumored That the “New Haven” Road May Build More Tracks in This Lo- cality—New Overcoats For the Med- ical Company Heve Arrived. John Hutchinson and John Kelly, both employes at the transfer station, were arraigned in court this morning before Judge Edward P. Prior, charged with intoxication and theft from the ‘“New Haven” road, found guilty on each of the two counts and accordingly sentenced ito spend 60 days in the Seyms street institution in Hartford. John McIntyre and Wil liam Hanley also were in court in con- nection with the theft and charged with intoxication. On the latter two and costs. 1t was discovered Sunday afternoon by a detective in the employ of the “New Haven” road that a _consign- ment of liquor to a hotel man in Ter- ryville had been broken into, and five quarts of the joy water conflscated. The aforementioned men who had been at work in and about the car i from which the theft was made were arrested by the railroad man and later turned over to Officer John Conlon. " This morning each man pleaded not guilty of charges brought against him although they admitted that they had been drinking some. The men said that they had purchased the whiskey in New Britain and were not guilty of conflscating the five bottles trom the Terryville consignment. ' The where- abouts of the missing liquor has not been determined. May Build More Tracks. Rumors are prevalent that engin- eers in the employ of the “New Ha- ven” road were surveying land in this locality to determine what additional property would have to be obtained to have more tracks out of town to the East. The road was recently granted per- mission to lay another track from the East street crossing to White Oak. Tt is thought that railroad officials have been brough to the belief that the quickest manner to ship freight from this town for points south is via Ber- lin or over the Hartford division. At the present time big freights g0 south from this town but these trains are hanllicapped because the bridges are not strong enough to hear the weight of the large locomotives engazod iIn the freight work at the present time. The new Cedar Hill vard will be ble from the Hartford Whether the “New Ha- ven” officials will decide to send more freight via Berlin for the present is a question as their present traffic is heavy and the passenger service is much more important there than on the Canal diyision. Nothing to It. — In the Plainville column of one of the morning papers this morning it was stated that the local council or- ganized by the state council of de- fense was preparing to take up with the selectmen of the town the matter of flying a service flag from the town hall. Tt was flrther stated that the flag was to contain about 150 stars. “There is nothing to it,” was the reply of Stanley S. Gwillim, chairman of the local council this morning when asked by a Herald «correspondent if there was any truth to the statement. It is evident from the chairman’s statement that such a plan had not even been given thought. Jackson Now a Lieutenant. The many friends of “Tom’ (now Lieutenant) Jackson are pleased to learn that he has been commissioned as an officer in the United States Army. Lieut. Jackson was for a number of years connected with the Herald, serving in the\capacity of as- sistant business manager and Plain- ville correspondent. He received his commission as first lieutenant, Satur- day, after attending the officers’ train- ing camp at Plattsburg for three months. He will arrive at his home in the Hardware City today and, be- fore he is assigned to active duty, will probably pay a fiving visit to his many friends in Plainville. Chimney Tire, A chimney fire was discovered in the home of Vito Bellini, vesterday about.noon, and the alarm was rung in. The efficiency of the Plainville Hose company in getting to the house in quick time, in spite of the many obstacles encountered, ‘prevented the blaze from spreading to the rest of the house. The damage was light. Considerable difficulty was encoun- tered by members of the fire depart- ment yesterday in finding out the ex- act location of the fire. The whistle at the Bristol Manufacturing com- pany, instead of blowing the right number af times, blew once and, after a prolonged interval, blew six con- secutive times twice. Several mem- bers of the department were at a loss to know in what section of the town the fire was, while a number thought it was a signal to call out the Hcme Guard companies. It was also stated in one of the morning papers that members of the Plainville fire department were about to make a petition to the board of fire commissioners for a better fire alarm system. This report could not be veri- fled and Chief Edward Prior expressed himself as of the opinion that the alarm now in use answered the pur- pose and tkat the minor effects which caused the whistle to blow incorréct- 1y could be remedied. 4 men the judge imposed a fine of $2 The Hartford Silk Store C.

However, since the Home Guard has been per- mitted to use the whistle to call the military men into action, it is an ad- mitted fact that the efficiency of the fire department has been impaired. The firemen, it is said, instead of rush- ing to the hall for equipment, now;/ wait until the alarm is sounded for the second time. This causes a dan- gerous delay. Overcoats Arrive. The new overcoats for the members of the local medical unit of the Homo Guard have arrived. They were se- cured through the efforts of Lieuten- ant Phelps and Top Sergeant at the quartermasters department in Hart- ford and are now at Byington's drug store where they were brought yes- terday by Sergeant Kent. They will be distributed immediately to mem- bers of the company, and those who do not get them today or tomorrow will receive them at the drill which will be held tomorrow night at the Town Hall. Green hat bands and green and white hat cords have also been re- ceived and will be distributed. The green bands will identify the medigal men from members of the Home Guard. The coats, which are light blue in color, are old army coats and said to be very warm. They will be used only temporarily or until the government is able to provide a sur- plus of khaki overcoats for the men in active service. The weekly drill of the medical company will not be held on Thurs- day night this week owing to Thanks- giving. Instead of having the drill Thursday it will be held tomorrow night at the town hall. Tt will be in charge of Lieut. Phelps. No Draft News Yet. Despite the fact that Clerk Benja- min I. Miller of the local exemption board stated several days ago that he would send to the Herald a list of the names. of Plainville men who are in- cluded in the last fifteen per cent of the first draft the names have not ar- rived yet. As soon as the list is re- ceived it will appear in the columns of the press. To Check Up Tonight. After the drill of the Home Guard tonight the net receipts of the dance and social held last Wednesday at the Hills' factory will be checked up and the amount which is to be ex- pended for remembrances for Plain- ville boys in the service will be an- nounced.
