NEW YORK KIDDIES WILL SUMMER HERE Berlin Motherhood to Care for Tribune Children TOWN BUILDING LINE TALK May Be Established If Action Is Brought Up At Annual Meeting In Fall—Grange Activiles — Berlin Items of Interest. The Berlin Motherhood club has arranged to take care o! twenty chil- dren to be sent here by the New York Tribune. They will arrive in town on August 3 and will stay for two weeks with various families in the town. The New York paper follows this rula ev- ery season and the children of tha metropolis are given an opportunity to escape from the heat of the city and see what the country has in store for them. Advance reports\state that some of them to come to Berlin have never had the opportunity to leave the city before and their trip to this Connecticut town will be greatly en- joyed. Members of the committee in charge of the event are looking for more homes where the children might stay while they are here. Some have already been promised but there i3 still necd for a few more and word left with any one of the committeo will be ajppreciated. Traina have been leaving New York during the greater part of the summer with a large number of these children and they have been dropped ofi at the many way stations along the road. Other towns to teke some of the children are Bristol, Plainville, Southington, Farminston, Coventry and Unionville. This is the first time it b been tried in Berlin and the memb of the Motherhood club are waiting for tha arrival of the children with much anticipatio Mrs. Wi ia chairn m C.

Mrs. Shepard will have charge of the East Berlin section of the town, Mrs. Green in Hensington and Miss Rome will have Berlin proper. Reports from the va- rious members as to the number of homes secured, etc., will issued to- morrow Need of Building Line, That Berlin is in need of having an established building line is evidenced by the fact that several small build- ings are going up in Kensington on various lots and at various angles to cach other. The houses are not being built any definite distance from the roadway and in the majority of cases the owners do not appear to care whether or not the buildings are in line with those already on the street. In the case of practically all of the older houses, they have been built with some consideration. The residents of the town feel that the line should be established before many of th new houses go up so that the gtrgc will not look absurd in years to comc- Selectman George B. Carfer ap- peared to be very much interested in the project of establishing such line and said that it might be prob- able that the matter will be brought up at the annual town meeting which will be held in the fall.

Mr. Carter expressed himself as being in favor of such a line in Berlin before trouble of that nature arises. Many persons have also expressed themselves as being desirous of hav- ing such a line and further action will be awaited with interest. With the establishing of the line it will also be nezessary to have a building inspector. Grange Activities. At the meeting of the Berlin Grange to be held in Grange hall on Damon’s Hill tomorrow, the womefi will give a basket lunch. A business meeting will open the session after which the lunch will be sold to the highest bid« ders. A large attendance is expected at this meeting. nable to Use Legs.

Has Miraculous Escape. The driver of a Buick car, bear- ing the number 90809, and his fam- ily had a miraculous escape from death Saturday evening about 6 o’clock on Berlin street, when the machine in which they were riding cidded on the slippery pavement and went up onto the bank at the John son residence. When driver of the car lost control of the machine it went between a large maple tree and 4 telephone pole. If the ecar had ruck either the pole or the tree the members of the family would have robably been fatally injured. As it was they only received a severe shak- ing up. The car was not damaged.

ONDAY, JULY - PLAINVILLE NEWS BLACKMAIL LETTER KEPT MORENO QUIET |Mrs. Voizard Demanded $200 From Local Constable TOWN AUTHORITIES MAY ACT Attendance At Ball Games Assures Plainville Team’s Stay—Swimming Has Becen Stopped in Farmington— River—90 Years Old—Brief Items. The justice served by the officialy in Plainville was the subject of a Sun- day newspaper yesterday which deals in arraignment of many persons. The same article made an attempt to shat- ter tha reputation of Constable Philip Moreno and made it appear that he was a home wrecker and a general man of disorder. According to the paper Madama Justico never has a chance in Plainville with the present officialy of the town who are claimed to be lax in their duties. Instances are claimed whera an Italian would- be-murderer got off with a light fine whereas a reckless driver was fined $35 and costs and another bound over to. the superior court for probabla manslaughter. While many Plainville people read the news article thera were few who believed that Constable Moreno is guilty of zttacks on two women, as has be2n alleged. The story was to the effect that Mrs. Voizard and Mrs. De Carli were two victims of the con- stable’s attacks. In justice to tha town officer his side of the story and that of the authorities of the town is given. The trouble with Mrs. Voizard oc- curred over a mamer of the payment of rent. James Minello recently pur- chased the old Dewey house on Whit- ing street and, when the rent becamao due, asked the people for payment. He was unable to get the money so he asked the constable to collect it for him. Moreno went to the housa and asked the woman for the rent. She threw a broom at him and told him to gct out. - He then returred and told Minello that he wanted nothing to do in the affair but was told that it was his place to get the monéy. He then returned to Voizard's where the woman started to tell him about papering the ceiling and fixing the house, ending up with the state- ment ‘that she would not pay' the rent. The constable impressed upon her the fact that he knew nothing of conditions but was there simply for the purpose of getting payment. She threw a $20 bill at him and again used the broom. Moreno made the payment to Minello and forgot tha in- cident. Several days later with two detec- tives from New Britain, he was inves- tigating a matter and upon returning to his home he found a let- ter. It was trom Mrs. Voizard and demanded the payment of. $200 im- mediately. The letter seemed suspici- ous and the constable’'s wife did not know how to take it. She becama somewhat nervous over it. In stating his case 1o the reporter, Constable Moreno said: “I can tell you my conscience is clear. T have lived here for years and most of the people know me. It is because of this fact that I wish to have my reputation intact and not blasted by a bunch of lies.” He took the letter to S. S. Gwillim, prosecutor, asking for advice as to what to do. He Also conferred with Selectman John- n. Both men advised him to wait a while and see how it would turn out. He kept the matter quiet. A meeting of the boacd of selectmen was called to act on the matter and Judge M. O. Ryder was present with Selectmen Willlam J. Johnson, C. H. Calor, and Edward P. Prior. At this conference it was learned that the Voizard family had been evicted from the tenement and had left town. *It was decided to let the matter drop temporarily,” Constable Moreno stat- ed. The assault on the officer by Mrs. Voizard then followed. He was chas- tizing some small boys in front of the Fconomy store when suddenly a hand struck out and hit him in the face. FHis hat was snatched from his head and a pointed toe was aimed for his stomach. Moreng ran to rid himself of the woman, knowing that he had been blackmailed by her, a thinking that if he laid hands her or used force that he would be in greater trouble. “And 1 tell you,” h~ said, “T acted like a fool, lettting Fier hit me and grab my and me doing nothing.” She continued her aseault and followed up with a bar- rage of muskmelons, peaches, plums, [etc., thrown from jthe trenches of | i fruit stand. Mr. Gwillim was sought by Moreno, accompanied hy Constable reno made a complaint the arrest of the woman. not 1ed immediately man Prior asked that alt led until the mination of woman by physicians. Moreno Jast night that one of the doctors re- ported that he Yhought Mrs. Voizard the waiting went on, with the offi- cials not acting because they did. not care to place: a financial burden on the town, The matter still stands the same way. The complaint is lodged azainst th» woman, a writ is report- ed as having been made out, but no action has followed. Judge Ryder and Prasecutor Gv Jim admitted this morning that they knew of the alleged blackmail letter but could malke no official statement as to what action would follow. Seleetman Johnson is in the West the present time where he will he for perhaps six weeks. If any action is to » taken it will have to follow from the authority of C. H. Calor or Judse 1. P. Prior, the other members of tho board of selectmen. Mr. Calor is a prominent business man and it re- ported the bondsman for the con- stable. At the meeting of the select- men at which Constablg Moreno was heard, Mr. Gwillim reported ‘“there nothing incriminating against the ers according to the testimony offered.

W » & CLOUDIN UP FOR A [ HARDWARE ance at the baseball games at Allen’s fleld on Saturday and Sunday after- noon, it has been decided by Manager Allen Bailey to retain the national game in this town at least for a while longer. The residents took the oppor- tunity to show that, although they do not attend all the games, they are be- hind the team when it needs support. East Hartford was met on Saturday afternoon and defeated 8 to 1. Yes- terday the American Legion team of Bristol was the local attraction and gave the Mest game of the season. The core was 1 to 0 in favor of Plainville at the end of the tenth inning. Grif- fin and Cafferty were Plainville's bat- tery and that for Bristol was Pena and Ryan. Bathing Stopped Bathing in the Farmington river has been stopped by people of that town who decided at a. meeting of the residents that the swimming was caus- ing damage to property and to the staid old modesty of the town. Girls in one piece suits parading on Main strect in the village did not appeal to the people there nor did the crowd of 200 or 300 persons who were in the water every afternoon for the past week. Cows pastured near the river refued to drink its cooling waters after the bathers started swimmin there and the owners were alarmed over the loss of milk. The residents of Farmington are not included in the order. ! Auto Arrests Continue Aurillo Rossi of Bellaire, Maryland, and Michael Hussey of Whitman street, Hartford, were arrested yester- day by Constable John E. Conlin for violation of speed laws while driving through the center of the town. The men arrested were unable to appear in court last night and their cases will be heard at a later date. Conn. Co. Bulletin Trolley cars in and out of Plainville will stop at a point in front of Neri's block and Murphy's Billiard home. This is according to a notice posted by the Connecticut company. The place for stopping the cars is chans- ing frequently and according to the desires of local authorities. The sec- tion at the center of the town is too small for trolley stops of long duration and regardless of where they stop the nuisance will continue. With the new stop unless laws are made to handle pedestrian trafiic, it will be more dangerous than ever for autoists driv- ing thrugh town. There are several hundrod feet of roadway to be covered to the Bristol trolley and the opposite side of Central Square according to the new stops.
