Site Still Unsettled The committee in charge of the Community Chautauqua which will play in Berlin the later part of August, has not, as yet, secured a site for the pitching of the tents. Popular opinion seems to be that the Kensin- ton Grammar school grounds would » be the most convenient: Another question still undecided by the committee is that of making use 4 of the proceeds. The contract states * that they are to go to some town ben- efit. A member interested in the ! propositiop stated this morning that he thought the money could possibly g0 to the Mutual Nurse Association which is now under discussion. Shower for Miss Ekman : Miss Fannie Ekman was tendered 4 a miscellaneous shower last evening % at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. H. + Ahrenberg, by her friends in the + hand folding department of the Amer- ican Paper Goods factory. The house was tastefully decorated and a pleas- ant social evening was enjoved. Miss Ekman received numerous pretty and . useful gifts. She is to be married Sat- urday to Paul Lund of Berlin. East Berlin Boys Again. Prosecutor Charles Lewis when seen this morning said that the warn- ing given the East Berlin boys a short time ago still holds good. The boys, however, evidently thought that the warning issued by the local authori- ties was noth@ig more or less than a joke. This was proven when three days after the court affair and the warning was issued, the home of Mr: Emily Barnes in that town was en- tered. As the story is told and known to ‘the authorities, the entrance was made through the pantry window at about 1 o’clock in the morning. Gen- eral havoc was wrought.

RUTH PLEASES KIDDIES King of Swat Visits Orphanage and is Fanned by Boy Hurler Pittsburgh, July 8.—Babe Ruth, playing here yesterday with the New York Americans in an exhibition game with the Pittsburgh Pirates kept a promise to T. B. Doyle, prefect of St. Paul’s Orphanage at Idlewood, and visited the institution. Doyle former- ly was prefect at St. Mary’s Industrial school of Baltimore, where Ruth spent his boyhood days. The famous ball player was accompanied by “Rabbit” Maranville and Charley Grimm of the Pirates. ~ Ruth went to bat before the chil- dren at the orphanage and was fan- ned the first time up by Mke Radans- ki, aged 12, crack pitcher of St. Paul's. Then Maranville took Mike's place and the home run king smash- ed the ball all over the lot to the de- light of the fans. BONUS MEASURE TO BE PUT ONE SIDE Harding Expected to Ask Such Action and Enough Votes to Do Sa Afe Assurea. Washington, July 8.—In expecta- tion of a message soon from President Harding urging temporary postpone- ment of the bonus bill and greater speed with tarifi and tax legislation, senate leaders today believed they al- ready had mustered sufficient votes to lay aside the bonus measure. No effort to recommit the bonus bill to the finance committee, as proposed by President Harding in his capitol conferences yesterday was planned until receipt of the expected message. In the meantime the measure re- mained before the senate as its un. finished business with extended de- bate in prospect today prior to the usual week-end adjournment. Polling of senators to ascertain the sentiment for a motion to recommit continued also and the atttude of the democrats was in doubt. Minority leaders said they did not expect con- certed opposition to recommittal. _ PLAINVILLE NEWS HYDRANT FOR FRONT OF GRAMMAR SCHOCL Better Fire Protection Planned by Chamber of Commerce OUTING GOMMITTER NAMED Baseball Games for Tomorrow— Methodist Church Society to Hold Novel Social—Knights of Pythias Elect Officcrs—Iteras of Interest. The Chamber of Commerce held a busy meeting last evening when many important matters were discussed rel- ative to proposed improvements about the town. The members voted to have a fire hydrant placed in front of the Grammar school to insure ade- quate servive in case of fire. This wag recommended by Fira Chief Ed- wart P. Prior and William Cafferty who investigated tha matter and made a report to the commerce officials. The selectmen will be notified o! the proposed hydrant and it will be in- stalled as soon as possible. It was at first thought to have the hydrant placed in the rear of the bailding but on further thought, it was decided to have it in front. Hose will also prob- ably be placed in the interior of the school. Outing Committee Named. Plana for the annual outing wera also discussed and a committee elect- ed. They are aa follows: F. L. Ben- zon, John E. Lamb, Edwin H. Hills, Ralph L. Seymour and William Caf- ferty. Further arrangementa for. the affair will be outlined by this com- mittee and a report made latgr. The outing will in all probability be held at Lake Compounce as has been the rule in previous years. Near Eas; Report. Reports on the recent Bundle Day for the Near East relief were heard. The campaign was pronounced a com- plete success as there were two truck- loads of clothing received. of the town while the remaining arti- cles were forwarded to New Britain and sent across the water. The com- mittee in charge wishes to thank the townspeople for their ready response and the co-operation extended. Much appreciation is given to Miss Anna Granniss, who spent a great deal of her time at the headquarters in the Neri block, where she sorted the cloth- ing. The Boy Scouts are also thanked for their able assistance in collecting the material, and to the persons who loaned their trucks for use. To Remove Signal One of the most important matters to be discussed was the proposition of removing the present light signal of the Connecticut Company at Central Square. As it is, the signal is now on the pole in front of the Birnbaum dry goods store and when the trolley cars stop there the section at the center is blocked in some ways for traffic. The Chamber of Commerce desires to have the signal removed to the pole at the watering trough. This will eliminate in a good way the cars from stopping directly at the traffic blinker post and give full space for vehicles to make the curve at that point. Motor Vehicle Signals President Charles H. Newton has been asked to suggest to the motor vehicle department some uniform signal for autoists This applies to the method drivers use in holding out their hand on either side of the car when they come to a standstill or turn a corner. There appears to be no direct method for the car com- ing behind to learn whether or not the automobilist in front desires to come to an abrupt stop or take a corner. . Sidewalk Committee The sidewalk committee has ar- ranged for a set of by-laws which will be presented to the selectmen to be taken up in the near future. The by- laws consist of suggestions regarding the conditioning of some streets which would aid in having the town officials and people co-operate for more sidewalks and keeping those down, in good condition. Crowd at Center, Another important point which was mentioned, was the condition exist- ing at the center of the town during the evening. This applies to the crowd of young men and boys who have always made it a point to congregate there and form a sort of a2 meeting place. There is a marked habit ot sitting in front of the stores and re- maining there until late at night. The Commerce desires to eliminate this by some method or other as it is de- ¢idedly embarrassing for women to pass. The men spit tobacco profusely on the sidewalks and throw cigarette butts and other refuse ahbout the cen- ter, it is said. It is not the intention of the commerce officials to put the matter into the hands of the author- ities but the selectmen will be notified and action taken this way. About the Telephone. - It was also voted that the telephone in the Town Hall waa not for.public use and people are prohibited against using it. It was learned that thi point waa delivered mora directly at The Herald reporter who makes it a business to use the instrument while on higs daily rpunds in the morning. The reporter uses the phona about 10 minutes in all and makes some three or four calls, and he had no inten- tion of embarrassing the powers that be. When the reporter calls at the town clerk’s office and receives somse news, he naturally uses the telephone for a confirmation of the story. Pythians Elecs Officers. The Pythian lodge, Knights ot Pythias, wiil hold its regular meeting tonight when the second rank will be conferred upon a class of candidates. At the last meeting of the lodge, the following officers wera elected: Chan- cellor commander, Warren Fox; vice- chancellor, Edward Aspinall; prelate, William Vance; master workman, Fred Morton; master-at-arms, Roy Ackert; inner guard, Adelbert Stev~ enson, and outer guard, Charles Klatt.

Chicago, July 8.—An argument among attorneys during the exami- nation of prospective jurors, in the battle trial as to whether the Chica- 80 White Sox players were undey con- tract to their club during the 1919 world’'s series, which they are alleged to have thrown to Cincinnati, result- ed in a number of humorous defini- tions of the word “contract.” The defense told the veniremen the play- ers wera not under contract to thae club during the serles and the state objected. “Just what is a \contract then, if these men weren't under contract during the series?’ asked Edward Prindiville, special prosecuting attor- ney employed by the American league. “Judging from the ones these men had, it's a piece of paper telling them where to head in,”” said Michael Ahern of the defense. “No, it's a piece of paper with a dotted line at the bottom where you mark an X.,” interposed James C. O’Brien, another defensa attorney. “You either mark in the X or starve to death.™ “Wrong, both of you,” said Ben Short of the defense. “It’s your night- ly prayer—what you say at night and forget in the morning. “You're right, Ben,”” said Prindi- ville, “these fellows made 'em at night and forgot 'em in the morning.” Hearing BROOKS NOT COMING Famous Austrailian Will be Missing in Davis Cup Games Pittsburgh, July 8.=—Norman Brookes of the Australian Davis Cup team will not be represented at the Davis cup matches here August 4, 5 and 6, it was learned here today Brookes according to members of the team who arrived at Vancouver, B.

These voungsters, delegates from Junior Endeavor societies in New York, Con- necticut, Pennsylvania and New Jer- sey appeared in a pageant called “The Pageant of Nations” and in another called “The Missicnary Pageant.” Both these pageants were on the program in the 71st Regiment Armory which is the main meeting place for the delegates. They were presented after the children had held their own devotional exercises in one of the city's larger churches.
