The Kensington lodge «f Foresters is now one of the few in the state to own its own home. Ag- :tation towards the purchasing of the “uilding was started when the old Lerlin fair grounds was purchased by the Bodwell Realty company, to bz nroken up into building Jots and sold. At a meeting of the organization the officers elected at the last meeting in June were installed. They are as fellows: Chief Ranger, George Skeene; sub chief ranger, Daniel Mallarney; recording secretarym William W. Fa- an; financial secretary, James Corr; treasurer, Bernard P. Moore; senior woodward, Edward McKeon; junior woodward, John Lowney; senior beadle, William J. Fagan. The three trustees are C. M. Weldon , George Grecn and Charles B. Wright. The officers were installed by Attorney Henry P. Roche of New Britain. Mr. Roche is the district deputy of the or- ganization. Court Mattabessett, Foresters of America, was organized in Kensington in May, 1900. It has been in exist- cace for 21 years, and in that time has increased its membership from a very few persons until it now has cver 160 enrolled. The meetings of the lodge are held the first and third Thursdays of every month. An an- faal carnival is held sometime in January or February, and the degree work is put on in full form at the lo- cal rooms about twice a year. In ad- fition to the carnival and degree Work several meetings are held. where out of town speakers are featured. Visiting Grange Here. Burritt Grange, No. 39, Patrons of Husbandry, of New Britain, will hold its regular meeting Saturday after- noon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Clark in Kensington.

An interesting program of sports and games will be carried out, and following luncheon a brief business session will be held. Mem- bers will bring their own lunch but the committee has arranged for serv- ing either lemonade or coffee. J Drives Through Fence. Theodore McAuliffe, manager of the New Britain office of the Southern New England Telephons company, ran his automobile through the fence Sme—e——e— —DANCE— Tonight -+ GRANGE HALL L Berlin . McKeon’s Orchestra. near the Blake & Woodruff store about about 8 o’clock last night in- stead of stopping for gasoline, as it was claimed he originally intended to do. Two women and two men were in the car at the time of the accident. The front fenders of the machine wera damaged. Complaints from E. B. Complaints are still being heard rom the East Berlin section of the town and the boys are still being im- plicated in the mischievous affairs. The residents claim that the boys are now placing automobile tires in the road to fool passing autoists. When an automobile approaches the tire it is pulled into the nearby bushes until another machine is in sight. Several minor accidents have happened be. cause of this practical joke, it is said. In one case a driver of a machine who was cnto the trick of the boys, stopped his car directly over the tire and as the boys could not get the tire an argument resulted. Many drivers have been insulted by the boys and it is the hope of the East Berlin peo- ple that the authorities will take ac- tion in the matter. Community Center Has Gas. Work has begun on the installa- tion of gas in the kitchen of the Worthingjon Community Center on Berlin street. The kitchen is a recent addition to the house. Many social avents are staged at the place when 5 often times necessary to cook. It with this need in mind that the ommittee in charge has had the gas installed. There is also a possibility of running a pipe line from the newly built well into the house so that there will be running water. Bank’s Annual Mecting.

The bus which operates between Kensington and New Britain was one of the few which did not run today. The loss of the bus will be keenly felt by the employes of the American Paper Goods company who have been patronizing it since it started to run in the early morning and late after- noon. At the American Paper Goods plant it was announced that the com- pany had made no plans to operate one for its employes. Berlin Bits.

Tulsa, Okla., July 15.—Judge Lucien B. Wright, of Sapulpa, Okla., released on bond of $10,000 on a charge of bhaving accepted a bribe of $90,000, of which $10,000 is alieged to have already been paid for his decision in the “Tommy Atkins” oil case, was de- clared the victim of a “frame up” by his attorney, Judge D, A. McDougal, today. The case involved $1,900,000 in oil lands. Attorney Gen. S. P. Freeling, who has charge of the prosecution of Judge Wright, said he had examined the evidence and was certain that the jurist would be proved guilty. Ra AL, PLAINVILLE NEWS EAST END SITE FOR SCHOGL IS PROPOSED Committee Known fo Favor Prop- erty on Linden Street Tigers Have Splendid Baseball Ree- ord—Berrying and Canning Season ~—American Legion Team Coming Here Sunday—Chautauqua Notes. Plans and preparations are going forward now to secure a school site in the eastern end of this town in anticipation of the building of school in that section possibly in the near future. For some time there has been opposition to having all the lo- ca! school buildings located on their present site in the western section of the town on West Broad street as a lerge number of the pupils now at- tending the schools are residents in the eastern section, including a large nrmber frori the mountain view dis- trict. The parents cf these children d- not consider it fair to have all the accommodations for their education located at the opposite end of the town. The initial cost of building in the eastern end would, of course, be large and especially at the present time but that such a necessity will arise is now o*vious and one of the items in its defense is the fact that it.would elim- in~te the expense incurred by the town in furnishing transportation free on the Connecticut .company’s lines to the pupils who live in Mountain View. The site for a new school building d-wn east has long been a debatable question but the solution seems to have been solved by the opening of Trumbull Flats by the Plainville Real- ty and Building association. This property runs back from East street under the mountain at Sunset Rock and is ideally located in the center of the easter.a district of the town. It is convenient to Hart’s corner as wel is convenient to Hart's corner as well as to Mou..tain View, White Oak and Fermington avenue, it is argued. Although no definite statement can be made as to the fact, it is probable that any building erected in the east- orn section will be located on Linden street which runs parallel with Fast street and is located opposite the fac- tory office of the Standagrd Steel and Bearings company. The street corre- sponds in length with Broad street and is ideal for a school building in- as much as it is a straight stretch and with increased traffic in the fu- ture would answer much toward the safeguard of the children enroute to and from school. One building lot on Linden street has been offered to the town at its regular price by a-local man interest- ed in school matters. It adjoins prop- erty which the school committee has: always considered as ideal for a new location. The property which the committee has considered as the logical location is not so easily to be obtained and it is reported that the owner will try for a nice profit if its purchase is sought. The town would probably have no trouble in taking the place regardless of any pecuniary ambitions which its owner would have as it is understood that the local officials have the right of condemnation in a mat- ter of this kind. The affair could not be taken care of by the school com- mittee; it would have to be referred to a regular or special town meeting, in which the body politic would de- cide whether or not the priced asked by the owner was excessive; and de- ciding on the former would vote to institute condemnation proceedings. This pisce of land with the property already offered the school committee would make not only an ideal location but :1s0 a tract equal to any increased construction which might be neces- sary for some years. When such changes come in schoot matters it is understood that local men have the ambition to give the voungsters a playground worthy of the name. The school yard at the present time is the official playground but it is closed all day Saturday and i1 not fitted up for, any recreaional purposes. Rockwell's field is now in fine condition and no complaints have peen heard against the children of the town using it. It has an exjcellent ball diamond and the Grammar school has been playing all its games there. It is probable that its use could be obtained permanently during school session by the town officials if a new school is built in that vicinity. It is estimated that at least one- half of the children ‘now in school come from the eastern district. The addition of a new school building haa further adLerents as the present quar- ters include two portable buildings, purchased in the west, necessary to hold tne overflow of the past twa years. Ball Team Has Some Record. Plainville has enough admirers of the sport of baseball as is witnessed by the support given the Plainville team, the Aces, the Happy Nine and other teamus. The Emeralds have late- 1y boasted of their ability at the na- tional game and their followers have supported them. Today, however, comes the report of the season from the Tigers composed of vounger mem= bers of the town. To date the team has played a total of 12 games and has returned with 11 victories. This includes scme fast young teams from New Britaln and Bristol. The team has a regular southpaw in its lineup in the person of Nicholas Tolli, who has won his eleven starts. He did not pitch the day the team was beat- en. Although but a youth, Telll shows a craffty knowledge of the game and has some shoots stored away that would surprise older bats- men. The team line-up is : Fred Miller, catcher; N. Tolli, pitcher; Ralph Minello, first base; Raymond Oliver, second base; Tony Minellp. shortstop; Frank Cambridge, third base; Rav Cassidy, left field: Charles Norton, conter field, and Everett Man- ning, right field.

A program of events has been arranged for the outing. The members of the church and Sunday school combin for this annual affair. Everybody I Canning. The scarcity of work this year has caused a heavy campaign on berr: ing and ocanning. More men have been in the lots berrying this year than in many past seasons. The deal- ers in jars and rubbers can see the large amount of work being done in the canning line. Local men going near Congamond for berries report them plentiful and two men yesterday picked a bushel and a half in a day. Traffic Troubles The arrest of a jitney driver for reckless driving last Sunday has caus- ed considerable comment on traffic regylations in the center of the town. The space between where the New Britain trolleys stop and the transfer to the Bristol line comprises some distance. Travelers for years past have seemed always to consider that they had the right of walking in the reet to the other car. At the present time that causes some difficulty especially as the crowds from the New Britain trolleys leave no pas- sageway for- vehicle traffic. It is probable that the town authorities will consider the advisability of hav- ing definite pedestrian traffic estab- lished in the center. The present existing condition causes much in- justice to the many drivers passing through here. Good Baeschall Attractions The fast East Hartford team of the County League will be the opponents of the Plainville team at Allen’s field tomorrow "afternoon. This county league is causing much interest and the two teams playing tomorrow are evenly mtched. A large crowd is expected to accompany the out of town team and Plainville needs root- ers_too. On Sunday the American Legio team of Bristol will oppose the locals. The Bristol team has a fine reputation for being a fast bunch and promist ome excitement for the locals. Manager Allen Bailey of tke Children’s Scuffer Shoes of tan calf, all sewed locals wishes to call the at- tention of the local fans to the poor support being given the team. Unless the support is materially better tomor- row and Sunday it is very probable that Plainville will withdraw from the league and cancel its schedule for the rest of the season. Finances are neces- sary to the team, but are scrcely con- sidered locally. If localities want base- ball they will have to show it tomor- row and Sunday.
