John Thompson. Patsy Kingo and J. Corse were appointed as a com- mittee at a meeting of the Berlin In dependent Political association, held jast evening, to investigate into th. affairs and condiion of Mrs. Mary Casesse, who was recently admitted tn ihe town farm by local authorities. The case of Mrs. Casesse has caused, considerable comment about town in 80 far as her husband left with an ejder son several months ago, anl nothing has been seen or heard of hin sirce his sudden departure. Mrs. asesse also has two daughters who ale employed at the American Papa: Ccods factory, but who refuse to aid the family in any way at all and arc making their homes with other locai reople. Mrs. Casesse was receiving #1d fro mthe town, but with that small income she could not keep up tae rent of the house in which she lived and it was found necessary to place her in.the town farm. Members of the appointed com- mittee state that the children we secn going about the streets in the da time and often at night when it tme for boys and girls of their ag 1o be in bed. Many days it is reported toat the two smaller tits, whom Mrs Czsesse has with her at the farm,went to various neighbors and asked for bite to eat, stating-that they had hac nc¢thing for the past 24 hours. Th condition was brought to the atten- tion of Joseph Schoilnick of Kensing- ton, who went around town and toos ip a collection. He raised about tc dollars with which he bought food and gave to the family. The fathe-, when in town, was employed at tho Buckley Macaroni plant. Mr. Buckley, it is alleged, said that the man did not want to work and left his employ The attention of the family, ac- cording #o Mr. Schoilnick. was then hrought before Selectman Carter, who 1 is alleged,, spoke to Mr. Buckley relative to the case as he ‘understood that Mr. Casesse worked there. Aid was finally secured for the family. which amounted to a few dolldrs ea i week. Outing Committee. A committee consisting of John Hoppe, P. George and Joseph Schiol- nick was appointed to prepare for the outing of the club to be held in the near future. At the meeting last night it was voted that the members should hold another meeting on Fri- day, August 5. 2 That a wrong impression should not be formed of the club by the townspeople, the officers wish to have it understood that everything will be done in the power of the associa- tion to bring electric street lights to Kensington as well as sidewalks. They feel that there are many smallar towns in the state which do not have/] as large a mill rate as Berlin which more but improvements, 'lherc is a big demand for these desirable and durable colorings at almost half last year's prices. secure some while color asscrtment is full and complete.

In discussing the political situation in town, several members stated this morning that a town the.size of Ber- lin cannot expect too much out of a selectman who has to depend upon other means of providing his living. They felt that Berlin should be willing to pay its first selectman enought to warrant him putting all of his time in working for the interest of the town. They also conveyed the im- pression that the term of one year is too short a time for a selectman to serve. According to their ideas, a man can just about start something when he has to go through the so- <alled fall political season again and take a chance on being returned to office. They also stated that they are not prejudiced against members of the local administration, as many people think, but on the contrary plan to cast their vote for them at the coming elections in October. Town Needs Guide Posts. It js evident from the number of travelers who stop to ask, that tha town o Berlin needs traffic guida posts. Although guide posts are not an essential thing to the town they are a great assistance to the tourist who probably has never visited thii part of the country and ~does not know how to get from one city to ‘ho other. Many people believe that trav- elers on the main turnpike do not need guides to get from- Berlin to Hartford but it is surprising to coun® the number of pecple each day who stop at the Blake and Woodruf! store on Berlin street to inquire the way to Hartford. There are also many requests ta know the road to New Britain although there is a New Brit- un sign on this corner. In Kensing- ton traffic is mostly through the town and the guides are not as ees- sential as in Berlin proper. Church Noticer. 2 Berlin Congregational church— Morning service at 10:45 o’clock.

WOMEN FAINT AS POLICE RUSH MOB (Continued from First Pagze.) the police guard at the dank door. Mounted officers turned their horses on to the sidewalk and the crowd broke. Women who fainted were re- ved in nearby stores| No one was eriously hurt. After this incident officers were stationed at both ends of School street and at alley ways leading into it with rders to keep out all persons-having no special business in that neighbor- hood. Plans also were made to divert trucks and other heavy traffic from School street. Bank Commissionr Joseph C. Allen, ssued this statement during the morn- ing: “If T could only make clear to the neople of Boston in what strong con- dition the Boston Five Cents Savings bank is, those who have withdrawn their money would be ashamed of themselves. A bank with $25,000,000 in quick assets that can be converted into cash almost immediately does not have to worry.” President W. C. Evans of the bank said it would keep regular banking hours and would continue to meet de- mands as fast as the money could e paid out. “Since yesterday we have had offers of more than $5,000,000 from firms in anticipation of their loans. We ha been offered from banks this morning any amount of money we want”’ he said. He added that the bank could get together $30.000 000 PLAINVILLE NEWS YOUTH ARRESTED ON RAILROAD PROPERTY Accident of Wednesday Night Causes Enforced Regulations T PROSECUTE TRESPASSERS Legion Festival Postponed One Week —Funeral of Victim of Freight Ac- cident—Funeral of Arthur Roberts Tomorrow—Items of Interest. The pitiful accident of Wednesday night in which one of the town’s pop- aular youths lost his life while out with a number of companions rid- ing a freight, has caused a campaign to be waged by the officers of the New Haven road in this' Wicinity. This should be ample warning to all youths who are in the habit of riding to remain away from the dangers of the rail. Any persons' caught and found guilty of infraction of the rules will be dealt with most severely in the Plainville court in an effort to break the habit which has caused a large toll of lives in past years., The boys who were with Linden Ratcliffe the night he was killed have openly spoken of their fear of even the sight of a freight train and it is pretty certain that the nine of them will be sure to remain away from the rails the remainder of their days. That the accident did not leave its impression on others, however, was manifest yesterday when freight hopping went on as usual. The local constables have been or- dered to arrest anyone and everyone who is trespassing on railroad prop- erty. They will be backed up by de- tectives of the railroad company, sev- eral of whom have been in this town since Thursday morning, when the accident was' reported in the New Haven offices. The first arrest of this kind since Wednesday night was reported yester- day when Lieutenant Anthony Pasha, one of the company’s detectives from New York, arrested a Waterbury youth as he was riding through this town or his way to Hartford. The voung fellow was riding the bumpers in an effort to save carfare. He was turned over to Constable Marino and was tried almost immediately in court before Justice Charles Calor, with Prosecutor Willlam Foran rep- resenting the town. His case being the first, leniency was shown him and he was assessed a total of $5.48. He being a victim of circumstances the fees of the officers of the court were remitted. A warning was then is- sued that the next guilty ones will meet with stiff penalties from the court. Tendered Surprisc Party. Mr. and Mrs. John E. Ludeman of Allentown, Penn., were tendered a surprise party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Heinzman in Plain- vill> last night. About 20 guests were present including persons from Hart- ford and Neéw Britain. A mock mar- riage was performed after which a light luncheon was served. The young couple are on their honeymoon trip and are stopping off a few days in this town. Mr. Ludeman is manager of the Allentown Electric Light plant and Mrs. Ludeman is in charge of the Y. W. C. A. in that city. z Funeral of Linden Ratcliffe. The funeral of Linden Ratcliffe, the young man who met his death in a freight accident at the Farmingtan depot Wednesday night, was held yes- terday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Ratcliffe of East Main street. Rev. R. H. Burton officiated. Burial was in West cemetery and the funeral was strictly private. Funeral of Arthur Roberts. The funeral of Arthur Roberts, who died in the Hartford hospital Wednesday at the age of 55 years, will be held tomorrow from the home on Forestville avenue at 2:30 o'clock Rev. G. E. Tyler. pastor of the Ad- vent church, will officiate and burial will be in the Fores. ille cemetery. Members of Sequassen lodge, I. O. O. F. and the Plainville drum corps will attend the funeral. The drum corps men will be in uniform but will not carry instruments. Legion Affair Postpuned. The ice cream festivit scheduled to be given by Brock-Barnes post of the American Legion at the Airdome last evening, was postponed for one week Aue to the inclement weather of the early eyening which left the the- ater in poor condition for the affair. The festival will be held next Fri- day night. Trolley Service Defined. The following is a communcation but it is of local importance and should come under the Plainville news: “In the controversy between the trolley company and the jitneys, let me offer this suggestion as a means wherby the Arch street line could be used without additional expense to the Connecticut Company and also serve the public, as I understand the trolley company wishes to do. “Instead of having the trolley cars stand in the center of Plainville for 10 minutes, more or less, obstruct- ing traffic as they do, and on return to’New Britain run down to a p past the Methodist church to reverse, let them take this extra time of at least fifteen minutes and run down Arch street as was previously done. The same cars and crews can do this and also serve the public. “Plainville Citizen.” Mr. Taylor, Junior.

FREIGHT DEPOT IS T0 BE IMPROVED New Haven Road Agrees to Do Much Needed Work After three or four years of mora or less agitation the local chamber of commerce finally has secured, through the efforts of a traffic com- mittee appointed three months ago for this purpose, much needed improve- ments at the New York, New Haven and Hartford freight station. The de- cislon to make improvements was fol- lowed immediately by orders to stort the work and yesterday morning a forca ot carpenters went to work at the station. The improvements consist mainly of extending the roof and adding new roof to various parts of the platform. For years past when merchandise coming in late in tne afternoon or evening has stood over night, consid- erable has been left outside because of lack of storage room. These goods necessarily have been exposed to all kinds of weather, with the consequent chances of damage and deterioration. On rainy days men working in the freight house have been compelled to truck mer- chandise back and forth in the rain. Yesterday C. L. Bardo, general manager of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railway company; W. H. Foster, general superintendent, and J. J. Snavely, district supeérin- tendent, wera hera and conferred with the local committce. The commit- tee of which J. A. Atwater, traffic manager for The American Hardware company, is .chairman, includes Frank Usher, traffic manager for Hart and Cooley, and Albert Roe- buck, traffic manager for Miner, Read and Tullock. It was decided to extend theé roof SUNDAY NIGHT of the freight house over the various platforms so as to permit handling of goods under cover, as well as to per- mit teams to drive in under cover for loading and unloading. Merchandise stored on the platform over night will be -protected from the elements. The following portion of Mr. At- water’s letter to Secretary Makin, of the Chamber of Commerce, gives a description of the work now going on and what is contemplated: July 29, Mr. Ray L. Makin, Sec'y., Chamber of Commerce, City. Dear Sir:—I am pleased to advike you that the necessary funds have been authorized for the bctterment of the New Britain freight station and the work is now under progress. They have extended a roof on the lower platform up to the end of the platform, they are enclosing the south end. They have removed the platform on the west side so that it will permit trucks to back right up to the station and get part of their load under cover. They are going to extend the roof of the freight house over the entire length of the plat- form. This is just what we asked for and it will permit the trucking of in and outbound freight under cover. All the improvements will be made with the exception of the continuous doors, which are not now necessary during the business depression. Mr. C. E. Bardo, while here this morning re- quested that we hold the matter of continuous doors in abeyance and said that as soon as business seemed to warrant it and any of our past trou- bles again developed, ha would then consider the continuous doors. 1921 MAYFLOWER IS “O.
