John Fitzsimons took occasion to rake up the matter of back taxes inquiring as to why the back taxes were not col- | lected.

PLAINVILLE MARKET Some Foodstulf KALISH COAL BUSINESS SOLD Antonio DiMarco is New Proprietor— New Boy Scout Troop—Waterman Funeral—Going to California— Other News About Town. The Plainville Market, owned by Michael Levine and Charles Myero- witz, was entered at 3:30 o'clock this morning by three young men who were evidently driven to burglary by an overpowering hunger. They were discovered at work by Officer Philip Marino and locked up. They were in police court this afternoon at 1 o'clock. The only loot was about $2 in pennies and a small amount of cooked food. Officer Marino. while on his beat this morning. found that the padlock on the door of the market was broken and immediately began an investiga- tion. When he entered the store the boys rushed for cover. hiding under the counters. Marino rounded them vn and locked them in the refrigera- tor and summoned assistance to take them to the leck-up. Michael Levine was called and was not surprised to learn of the break. Before closing the market last night he told his partner that the store was due to be robbed. He was sorry for the burglars and sent them a number of sandwiches to their cells in the lock-up. The boys refused to give their names last night but said that the were from Jersey and that they in- tended to go to Brooklyn. They de- nied taking the pennies but it is be- lieved that they dropped them in a barrel of salt brine when they were locked in the refrigerator. Levine will decline appear court against them. Sells Coal Busines: Mrs. Nellie D. Kalish has sold her «oal business to Antonio DiMarco, Luigi Dantonio and Brandalino Cic- cone, all of Southington. The pur- chase price is said to be about $3,500. The new owners have not announced their plans for the business. The coal business has been in operation for about 20 year and was started by Alexander Kalish. Mrs. Kalish has managed the business since her hus- band’'s death in 1900. May Form New Troop. At a recent meeting of Troop No. 1, Boy Scouts of America. reports were received which indicated that the membership of the troop is rapidly in- creasing and will soon be too large to be admitted into one troop. Plans are under way for the organization of Troop No. 2 of Plainville. The members of Troop No. 1 are already discussing plans for the council camp in the summer. Scout- master Merton J. Lamb has informed the members of the plans for the camp and has explained rules and regulations to the Scouts. The troop will meet tomorrow evening in Grange hall. Signs of Spring. One of the signs of spring which considered infallible was noted sterday when a band of gypsies ar- rived in this town from Bristol. They had been driven out of that city by the police and evidently con- sidered Plainville a more fruitful field for their activities. They ar- rived about 11:30 o’clock yesterday, some on the trolley and others by way of the railroad tracks. The women in their multi-colored gar- ments attracted much attention. They made a thorough canvass of the stores on Whiting street and in every case their reception was very frigid. George W. Waterman. The funeral of George W. Water- man, who died Sunday morning, was held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at his late home at 48 Maple street. The s were conducted by Rev. S. E. ans of Terryville and Terr: ville and Rev. E. Gillette, pas- tor of the local Congregational church. The funeral was in charge of A. W. Bailey and the hody was placed in the recciving vault in West cemetery. Have Raised $1.000. The members of the Methedist Episcopal. church have raised more than $1,000 to aid in paying off the debt on the church property. As a reward for securing this sum, the church will receive $600 from a benefactor of the church whose name has not been disclosed. The amount was raised by subscriptions among the members and by food sales and varioys other activities under the direction of the women of the church. The members will celebrate the rais- { ing of the mortgage tomorrow even- ing with a social at the church lors. The mortgage will be burned and a program rendered.

The Foresters of America. with their steadily increasing membership in this town, are expected to place a team in the field which should make a good showing with other semi- professional teams in the state. The nucieus of a good team can bhe found in the men named and it should be easily possible the .others. TLocal factories have brought to this town any number. of men who make their homes and it is probable that some material for a baseball team can be found among the new arrivals. With the news that the big time teams are going South, it is probable that the bush leaguers and sand lot teams in this locality will begin work as soon as weather conditions bring baseball within the bhounds of pos- sibility. .

GRIFFITH’S OPINION Englishman's Point of View Upon American Industrial Life Lack of Appreciation. London, March 16.—'America’s in- dustrial troubles are only beginning,” to develop | here | Shows said W. T. Griffiths, of the Iron and | Steel Trades Confederation, who has just returned from a trip to America, to a news agency interviewer. “I have been most impressed with the dire lack of machinery in America for settling industrial disputes, espe- cially in the iron and steel trade,” he went on. “In that respect we are vears ahead of America.” Mr. Griffiths added that he found general chaos in every industry. Tear of American competition, he continued, 'was more fictitious than real, and he was thoroughly convinced that England had a wonderful oppor- tunity for recovering its former posi- tion in the foreign markets. “In one thing America excels,” Mr. Griffiths concluded. ‘‘The output of their steel mills would be almost in- credible to the average British iron and steel worker.” ( | @ GASTORIF For Infants and Children. | Mothers Know Genuine Castoria _ALGOHOL-3 PER cgfis g N|§| AVegetable PreparationforAs- ‘,simqnfingmcmww;- I' ting ifie Stomachsand Bowels.
