Caccavelo is alleged to have aided Paretta in removing some of the stock from the bullding before the fire. Woman Important Witness. One of the most important wit- nesses in the case will be Mary Ven- turo of Kensington, with whom Par- etta made his honie for several years. There was a rumor about town this morning that Mrs. Venturo had “squealed” on Paretta to the state officials. When seen this morning Mrs. Venturo would not speak on the sub- Ject and after being asked several questions the last one which re- ferred to her having told on Paret- ta she sald: *“You had better ask somebody else.” It is said by the residents of Ken- sington that trouble has been brewing between Mrs. Venturo and Paretta for some time. As the story is told Paretta has been living in this town for several years and when he first came here made his home with Mrs. Venturo. At that time Mrs. Venturo was lving in the same house with her husband. About a year before the fire Mrs. Venturo and Paretta are said to have cloped but were finally brought back by Mr. Venturo who has not been living with his wife since. ‘Wife Makes An Appearance. ANl was well at the Venturo home between her and Paretta until about #ix months ago when Paretta received a telegram from New York inform- ing him that his wife was at Ellis Island. He immediately went to New York, brought his wife to Kensing- ton and has not been with the Ven- turo woman since, people say. No one in the town ever knew that he was married until his wife came to this country. Following her arrival, it is claimed, Mrs. Venturo and Par- etta have not spoken. Local people are greatly interested in the case and it Is expected that the court room will be crowded the day of the trial. Heard in Court. Charles Rothrock of Meriden was in the town court last night the Pent Works pond with a set line. He was fined $1 and costs which totaled $21.° The cases of the other three parties from Meriden were nolled. Two boys, George Scudzenski and Frank Lodge of Meriden were charged with having caught pickerel under size. The charge against the first bhoy was discharged because of lack of evidence while the latter was fined $1 far catching pickerel under size and $1 for each fish caught. The ex- ecution of. sentence was suspended in the latter case because the boy has been out of work for some time. Extended Invitation. Representative Francis Deming of this town has issued an invftation to the local selectmen., Messrs. Carter, Shroeder and Ryan, to attend the Se- lectmen’s association meeting to be held in the old senate chamber the capital in Hartford on Thursday afternoon, May 12, at 2 p'clock.

Because of the important meeting of the Kensington Fire district this evening, the committee in charge of the Men's Lyceum has deemede it ad- visable to postpone the meeting un- til Wednesday evening, May 11. The meeting at this time will be held as the Kensington Methodist church and the subject for debate will be: “‘Re- solved, That the present. attitude of labor unions is detrimenital ' to the publia welfare."

New York, May 6.—Wilfred Reid, the Wilmington, Del., country club's professional golfer, today was chosen to fill the vacancy on the American | team, soon to invade the British Isles, { which was caused by inability of Ed- die Loos of Chicago to make the trip. Ibs. $1.00.—Russell Best coffece 3 Bros.—advt. 21, doz. chairman of a committee to investi- gate this project and make reports on the matter at the next meeting. Senator John H. Trumbull and A. A. MacLeod were elected to the commit- tee also. - With the starting of a Jun. High school at New Britain next term, the pupils of the Plainville Grammar school who are to com- mence their first and second yeaer of High School training, will be unable to attend the Junjor High school and therefore it will be necessary to have the students stay in town. It is the plan of the commerce chamber to find a suitable site for the election of a building in which the first and second year studies of High school may be taught. An estimate on all necessary squipment, including teachers’ salar- ies and building mateiial will be giv- en by the investigating committee and a town meeting will be called for the purpose of acting on this proposition. It may be possible that the Plain- ville school will be forced to run two sessions this coming term if accom- modations for the graduating pupils cannot be found. It is a matter of deep consideration and the chamber officials are striving to overcome it before the opening fall term com- mences. Better Fire Protection. Another important matter pertain- ing” to the candition of the school, was proper fire protection. At pres- ent there is not enough hydrants for adequate service and the chamber officials have considered this matter for some time. There is a hydrant at Church ‘street and one at Cana: streel. Amother one is situated at Pearl street but this is so far away that it would be necessary to lay al- most 500 feet of hose to cover the school. No hose in the building and the matter is serious from the stani- point of protection regarding fire con- ditions. Fire Chief Edward P. Prior will be censulted on the plan of installing more horse in the schoolhouse and having a hydrant placed in the rear of the building. Selectman William J. Johnson and William Cafferty wil: take this matter up with the chief. Aviation Field Here. Senator John H. Trumbull, Edwin H. Hilis and Charles Newton were ap- pointed a committee to arrange tor having a landing field for aerial mah service planes, situated in the town. Tndge W. J. Malone of Bristol will in- \cstigate the conditions of Plainville and should a suitable site be found, this tract of land will be reseryed that no building will be erected. e project of having a landing fifield hers will mean a great deal for the town inasmuch as the route planned is an important one and covers a large space of New England. New Traffic Post. Plainville will have a new traffic post for Gentral Square. Seélectman Johnson reported that the new post is expected within two weeks, or possi- bly ten days. It will be a “Blinker’ and have a concrete base. The pres- ent wooden one seems to afford a great deal of amusement for joy rid- ers who have a habit of seeing how close to it they can come without actually hitting it, so 'tis said. How- ever, this pastime will be overcome when the heavy post arrives. Cannon for Center. Stanley S. Gwillim made a report on the proposition of having a can- non secured for Central Square where the soldiers’ monument is. He has written a letter to Congressman B. Hart Fenn for a fleld piece from the 26th division which had been captur- ed during the war. Congressman Fenn has intrcduced the bill in con- gress, but to date, the request is lost in the meshes of congressional pro- cedure. The matter of having a board of finance for the town was discussed at length. In establishing this board it will be necessary to have an elec- tion with the regular electign ma- chines. This election will he for the purpose of learning whether or not Strictly Fresh EGGS 31c Dozen. Fresh Made Creamery BUTTER 45¢ 1b None Better At Any Price.

Trumbull has sued an invitation to of the town, namely, other election will follow. This one will be for electing the board. It will be composed of six members. There is no pay connected with the work. It was recomnmended to hold a special town election for the pur- pose of learning the opinion of the people regarding this board. Ralph Seymour will draw up a petition and present it to the selectmen for this purpose within 20 days. Should the people favor the board, the election of officers will follow at a certain lapse of time and these will be in- stalled at the fall term when election comes again. State Highway Conditions.
