At the Saturday' afternoon session f the Berlin court, Jack Hacketr, r the past 16 years a constable of is town, was fined $7 and costs and ntenced to 30 days in jail. An ap- .al was filed, and bond of “$120 )sted for his appearance at the next ssion of the superior court. As as predicted and expected through- it thé town, Thomas Malley, alias oger Malley, allag Rogers, the other rincipal in the case, was among the issing. FHe went to Hartford last uesday, and since has not returned. he bond of $50 ‘which had been fur- ished by Jack Hart, proprietor of e Kilby House, was declared for- itedy Hackett and Malley were charged ith the theft of three cans of milk nd several large pleces of corned cef, alleged to have been taken from railroad car by them about three eks ago The witnesses for the ate, two of them employed by the Jilroad company in the labor camp, hich .consists of five cars stntioned ear the Berlin depot, caught the ac- ased red-handed with the stolen e: bles soon after they missed them om the car, it is alleged, and gave pase to them. Malley was caught nd taken back to the car whera he ‘as made a prisoner until the con- ;able, Enrico Pola arrived. Hackett \ade for thc woods. A third witness ,id that he saw Hackett with the .olen goods, about to lay them down , the woods. ‘Hackett’s defense was that he met falley on that day and Malley was ungry. He agreed to take Malley to he labor camp, where he belhavfd ne ould be able to fix it up with “Ben- _» the chef, for a feed for Malley. hen they came to the car, they en- but could not find “Benny” or y of the other cooks.

Throughout the case, it was _en- livened with the continual spats be- tween Prosecutor Gibney, and Attor- ney Abraham Pouzzner who defended Hackett. In summing up his case, Attorney Pouzzner called attention to the past record of his client, who in the 18 years of his acting service as constable of the town, had appeared but twice in the court, and the other occasion being but for the failure to pay his personal taxes. He also stated that Hackett had nothing to do with the stealing of the goods, but was merely guilty of receiving stolen goods, and evasion of his duties as a constable of the town. Jude George Griswold in imposing the fine and jail sentence stated that the offense was much greater iue to the fact that he was an officer of the town, and as ich, no such actions could be tolerated. When the ately entered an appeal and secuv a bondsman. Charles Johnson fur- nished the bond of $100. TPold Hc Could Have Coal. Stating that one of the foremen of the railroad company told him thut he might take all the coal from the pit in Kensington that he wanted, Daniel Ryann of Berlin pleaded not guilty on a -charge of stealing coal from the New Haven road pit. Ofii- cers Farrell, Pola, and Bradbury went to the home of the accused and saw the coal which he had 1iaken, which they estimated to be about three and one-half tons. Attorney Joseph G .Woods represented Ryann, and stating that there was no inten- tion to steal, asked that his client be discharged. Judge Griswold was: of an opposite mind, however, and im- posed a fine of $7 and costs, amount- ing in all to $15. Twenty-one ' Autoists Arrested, Following the activities of the state police on the Berlin turnpike yester- day, 21 infringers on the automobile statutes were in court this morning charged with failure to have drivers’ licenses, auto registration cards; or with failure to stop when told to do 80 by the officers. Five of those sum- moned to appear falled to do so this | morning and warrants were given to | the state policemen to summon them to court on Thursday morning. Wilfred Blanchette was brought in on a charge of driving a car without having proper registration papers, and when the case came up it was found .that he was also without a li- cense of his own, and had been driv- ing on the license of A. L. Schwanto. Blanchette, whose home is in Water- bury, said that although he had been driving a car for about three years, he thought that it was all right to drive on the permit of another. He was haled into the court under the name of Schwader, and when that name was called he answered. Judge Griswold imposed a fine of $16 and costs, amounting in all to $26.65. Joseph Tosotto said that he had lost his registration papers when asked this morning why he did not have them in his car and did not dis- cover his loss unti] asked for them by Officer McCourt Sunday morning. His assessment to the highway com- mission was $3. Max Feldeman ‘was charged - with refusing to stop his car when told to do so by the officer. This he denied, stating that he had no.way of know- ing that he was an officer, and that his car was going slow at the time. Officer Penrick, however, claimed that he was speeding and that he had to give chase for about three miles be- fore he could catch his man. The of- plates and films.

YOU CAN DEPEND ON statement that he had a large roll of bills and was afraid that he was go- ing to be held up. He was fined $15 and costs and filed an appeal under bonds of $50. A, H. Stocker had tration papers nor driver's license at the time he was stopped by the state officers. Hig donation amounted to $13—$10 for failure to have his driver’s card and $3 for not having his registration papers. Frank Neiland, of Springfield, Mass., had no driver's license with him; in fact he had not secured one at all this season. For his attempted defiance of the law he paid $165. Didn’t Have Driver’s License. “Guilty, I forgot it,” said Harry Boweske this morning when asked by Prosecutor Gibney today what he had to say with regard to the charge of driving without a driver’s license. He was arrested by Officer MeCount yes- terday morning near the end of Ber- lin street. “Three dollars, pay hLere,” and the case was over. So that the officers might inv gate a special permission which J. Bagonas of Waterbury claimed to have been given him, his case was ad- Journed until Thursday morning. He claimed that, due to the fact that he could not receive mails regularly, the inspector had given him permission to drive until he could receive his li- s cense. This he was doing when stopped. He was riding an - Indion motorcycle. Louis Solomon of Hartford charged with failure to have his tificate of registration with him terday. He admitted his guilt paid a fine of $3. Edward Wittestein was arrested by E. W, Stebbins when he was tnable to procure an operator’s license. He said that in changing coats he hud left it in his old clothes. Although he had been warned by another auto- ist several hundred feet before he came to the officers he continued, as he was hurrying to the Springfield arsenal to see his brother, and took the chance of paying the fine. He was fined $3. E. 8. Troupe was also stopped on the turnpike, and for the same reason was unable-to produce a certificate of registration. His fine was also $3. For forgetting to carry his drivers license with him, DeWitt Riley was assessed $3 plus charges of prosecu- tion. The officers remained at one point on the turnpike all day, and stopped every autoist who passed. As can be sen, a large number of them were without the credentials necessary for operating a motor vehicle. The ofi- cers taking part in the hold ups were Officers McCourt, Stebbins, and Per- ink. The cases of the autoists com- ing from a distance were adjourned until Thursday morning. Ttalian War Rally. The war rally which was held in the Foresters’ hall yesterday afternoon for the Italian residents of the town was well attended, and the speakers were well received by the Italians of the town.

There is published daily at ‘Washington, under authority of and by direction of the president, a gov- ernment newspaper—The Official U. S. Bulletin. This newspaper prints cvery day all of the more important rulings, decisions, regulations, proc- lamations, orders, etc, e as they ar¢ promulgated by the eral de- partments, and the many special committees and agencies now in op- eration at the national capital. This official journal is posted daily in every post office in the United States, more than 56,000 in number, and may also be found on file at all li- braries, boards of trade, and Cham- bers of Commerce, the offices of mayors, governors and other federal officials. By consulting these files most questions will be found readily answered; there will be little neces- sity for letter writing; the unneces- sary congestion of the mails will be appreciably relieved; the railroads will be called upon to move fewer correspondence sacks, and the mass of business that is piling up in the sovernment departments will cased considerably. Hundreds of clerks, now answering Correspon- dence, will be enabled to give, their time to essentially important work, and a fundamentally patriotic serv- ice will have been performed by the public.
