Washington, Aug. 15.—Advisability o ition of the Obregon govern- Mexico was debated in the: LOGAL YOUNG WOMAN TELLS EXCITING TALE Mrs. Kennedy Describes Terror of Herseli and Child In an extremely nervous condition, i holding her earnest-faced 5-year-old boy in her arms, Mrs. Ruth Kennedy, wife of James Kennedy of Main street, of this city, told of her awtul exper- iences fast Friday night. It was then she found herself and her helpless child on a deserted country road in the power of a man who had shown himself to her as a liar and trickster and possibly possessed of the possi- bilities of being the worst sort of criminal. It was only because of the wish to correct the erroneous statements that have been published concerning the near tragedy, she sald, that she was willing to tell the story of her being taken from her home, together with her little boy, to Lebanon by Joseph Blanchard; of her flight from him, and of her rescue by Silas Burgess and his family. Blanchard Appears. Mrs. Kennedy began by telling of Blanchard's first appearance at her home here. She had replied to an ad- vertisement in a Hartford paper, ex- pressing the desire for g housekeeper. A week ago yesterday, Blanchard called at her home and was met by James Kennedy, who is employed at Landers, Frary & Clark, she said. Mr. Kennedy informed Blanchard that he could see Mrs. Kennedy in Hhalf an hour and the man returned. He told Mrs. Kennedy and her husband that the only reason he had not replied to her answer to his advertisement was that he had employed another wo- man, with two children. Blanchagd, aczording to Mrs. Ken- nedy’s story, came again last Friday and, in the presence of her husband and sister, said that his housekeeper had been taken ill, and that he‘would like to have Mrs. Kennedy come to his place, with her little son and take the position of \ housekeeper. He described the attractiveress of the house and farm and emphasized what a fine place it would be for the little fellow. Mrs. Kennedy described how he “told of the fact that he occupied one portion of the house, while anoth- er man and his wife lived in the other part. His description was so alluring that Mr. Kennedy, who was at that time earning small wagés, agreed to his wife’s wish to help out financially by her labor, and allowed her to' try the position, impressing upon Blanchard that if Mrs. Kennedy did not find it all that it was pictured to be, she would not remain. Start for Lebanon. Blanchard, Mrs. Kennedy and her boy, Mrs. Kennedy’s story goes om, took the trolley for Hartford, dur- ing which ride Blanchard continued to show nothing but courtesy and kindness toward her and the child. Her natural nervousness was _dis- pelled. i Arrived ‘at Hartford they. took a “Blue Line B#s” ' to Willimantic, thence to South Willfmantic. It was getting dark by “this.time’and Mrs. Kennedy began to” feel ‘nervous at being in a strangs part ofrthe coun- try with a stranger. .At' South Wil- limantic Blanchard .and she walked with the boy up. the-road a short dis- tance to get a\ car'to ‘takd them -to the place where Mrs. Kennedy sup- posed, she was to live—the fine farm ! Blancnard had described as his. Girl’s Tnicky Appearance. While Blanchard was back of the fcar that-was to take them'on, a girl whom Mrs. Kennedy had neéver seen befdre, drove by 'im a buggy. She pulled’ up, seeing. Mrs. Kennedy, ‘who seemed nervous, with her little boy, and asked Mrs. Kennedy if she was going far.. . 2 The latter tdld her she was going with a man named. Blanchard, she knew not how far, to work for him. The girl, who proved to be Dorothy Burgess, asked Mrs. Kennedy if she knew the man and, upon seeing him come ‘around the corner of the car, said “See you ‘later.” When they were in the car Blan- chard asked what the girl had said 1o Mrs. Kennedy who replied that she' had asked her if she was going far. A . It was but a few miles to the place which Blanchard said was his. There they alighted and Blanchard led the way into the house, followed by Mrs. Kennedy and ‘the boy. 3 Mrs. Kennedy paused at this point of her narrative and held her boy closer to her. “Ol,” she cried, “you can’t imagine the terrible feeling that came to me when I stepped inside that place. Then little John cried—‘I want to go home’ she said.” . 5 Blanchard had stepped out in the direction of the woodshed, mumbling something about getting supper, and the other sole occupant of the house, terrible appearing to the frightened woman, rose and followed him. Flight. A Vividly Mrs. Kennedy described her intense longing to get-away from the place. She. grasped John 'in her arms and dashed through the deepening darkness toward the road at some distance from the house. She had barély reached the road iwhen Blanchard overtook her. For fhe first time, sald Mrs. Kennedy, he spoke and acted roughly. He placed his hand on her shoulder. She re- sented his act and told him directly and plainly what she thought of his actions in misrepresenting the situa- tion to her. He became angry for a moment, then, calming down, ad- mitted that the Banning place, from which she had just flown, was not his, but that he would take her,to his own home where al] was fine. | They were then at the foot of “Kick Hill,” long and steep. Mrs. Kennedy was carrying her boy up the steep incline. Presently an automo- bile passed; there were no lights. In a moment, however, they saw the automobile returning. “They’re after me—I know it,” cried Blanchard. With this exclama- tion, looking again in the direction of the automobile which now bore lights, the man seized the child from jbis mother's arms and dashed from the roadway. * Half frantic with fear that the man would do away with her child the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, mother started in pursuit. A man in a white shirt ran from the car fol- lowed by others. Mrs. Kennedy for a moment did not know Wwhether they were friends or enemies. Then she saw John, her boy, dashed into the ditch at the side of the road. She clutched him in her arms only to turn and see that aid had come to her. The Denouncement. It developed that the man in the white shirt was Roy Burgess, brother of the girl who had spoken to Mrs. Kennedy earlier in the evening. Mrs. Kennedy tells how Dorothy Burgess had hurried home and told her family of meeting the girl. She had de- clared that she believed the girl would be murdered, and that shg, if no one else, was going to look her up. The whole Burgess family had been moved to take action. Silas Burgess, his wife, son and daughter had planned to see if all was well, with the result related above. Telephone calls had been sent to all the neigh- bors and officials. The search for Blanchard was begun at once. Mrs. Kennedy and her son remained with the Burgess family until Satur- day afternoon when she returned to her home despite the earnest invita- tion of Mrs. Burgess and the whole family to remain with them and to send for her husband. The sherift found and returned Mrs. Kennedy's suitcase which had been lost in her flight. ' Terrible as it all was, said Mrs. Kennedy this morning, I can’t have the other reports and innuendoes which have been published, remain undenied. Little John, who had not spoken a word during the long, distressing account of the adventure in which he had played his part of never being absent from his mother’s side for a minute, now looked up, nodding his head. “An’ the man runned into the bushes after he had throwed me into the mud.” ~ PERSONALS T.

In spite of Commissioner-Donahue’s statements that he was to leave the fire board, the weekly pay-roll of tho department went to the hands of the comptreller today under the commis- sioner’s signature. Mr. Macomber made the following statement ‘this afternoon “My, sudden removal as chairman of the fire board came following an expressed determination to recom- mend a certain modified plan of two platoon system at the next meeting of the council. : : “For some months past the board has been working on the two platoon matter and the mayor is perfectly right in stating that I had said that 1921, MANY AUTO CAMPING PARTIES ARE SEEN Touring Cars With Trailers Noticed By Local. People, Automobiles with trailers carrying camping equipment and auto camping parties are seen jn large numbers go- ing through the White Mountains and along the northeastern coast of the United States according to a partywof. New Britajnites who have just return- ed from a vacation trip. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Crabtree, Mrs. George Crabtrée, Mrs. E. H. Smith and Misses ~Lilla® and 'Carrie Crabtree. They spent several weeks on a motor trip through Vermont and the White Mountains and along te coast of Maine. 5 The travelers ‘report seeing many auto camping parties, who carried their equipment with them, driving by: day and sleeping along the road at night.

However, he did not say that I re- peatedly told him that should the board see their way clear to the adoption of some modified plan which would be practicable and efficient as well as would urge its recommenda- tion. To that end we have been working for some time past on such a plan which we thought would be workable. “Some time ago I received an in- timation from the mayor that he intended to terminate my ‘connection with the fire board and I daily ex- pected my removal as chairman but as time‘passed and nothing was done about it and I still remained as chair- man I felt something would have to be done on the two platoon system in order to complete its installation by tha first of October. I have felt continually an 6pposition from the mayor to the installation of the sys- tem at as early a‘'date as October first. In fact, Mayor Curtis téld me flatly that he did not wish it to be in oper- ation at that time and I told him that I didn’'t see how the ciy could repudiate the resolution of the com- mon council or the later vote at the city meeting, though the latter did [not mention any specific date. I con- sider it at least a moral promise of the city’s/and neither I nor the board cared to. see it breken. Cooperated . With Mayor. “Regarding my refusal (as the mayor states) to co-operate with him I will say that I have several times taken up matters pertaining to the department with the mayor and al- ways have given my own views and the views of the board but have never received in return anything definite in the way of opinion even on the question of the adoption of the two platoon system. On this question the mayor was frankly antagonistic and I gained the impression in talking with him that he had some modified form of Two Platoon System in mind. “I believe he promised one of the commissioners to present a tentative draft of his plan’ to our board. We have mever received that plan’ and the board finally felt that in justice to’themselves and the city the matter 4 coyld no longer be delayed. *~ No Action Desired., “If the mayor had only hesitated iong enough to ask me over the phone Saturday whether we were going to recommend our original plan or modi- fied form he would have learned that the latter was out intention. But no, as soon as'it became apparent that we were going to take any action at all on the two platoon system, no mat- ter in what form, he notified me of my removal “The board has been unremitting in its afforts to secure the twa platoon system within :‘the time limit but be- came disgusted at the open oppasition that we received in somec quarters and the dilatory tactics employed to block 'our aim.’ ‘GOLLLEGTIONS WON'T SHRINK Personal Tax Figure Will be Equally . as High as Last Year, Collector J. W. Mills Believes. p an In spite of the fact'that conditions are most unfavorable, persgnal: tax collectiohs for this year will not fall behind those of last year, Collector, J. W. Mills believes. The work of col- lecting the money has been greatly increased by numerous petitions - for time extensions, all of. which are recorded, couped with the fact that installments are being -accepted 'this year in amounts ranging from a quar- ter to a dollar at a time. Many addi- tional records are made necessary Ly this proceedure but Colector Mills feels that conditions make such ac- tion necessary. In many instances pay- ments have been deferred by persons now receiving aid from the city. These accounts are not dropped and must be paid as soon as the debtor is financial- ly in a position to do so. CITY ITEMS A son, Lester Everett Francis, was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Charlse E.
