BERLIN NEWS FIRE DISTRICT HAS WALKS RESURFACED J. N. Rice Co. of New Haven Awarded Gontract for $1060 AGGIDENT ON TURNPIKE Automobile is Turned Over at South End of Town—New York Children to Lesve—Pearson on’ Chautauqua —Berlin Bits. The Joseph N. Rice company of New Haven-has been awarded the contract to repair all of the tar side- walks on Berlin street from the post- office at the top of Damon’s Hill as far south as the George Dodd pro- perty. Francis Deming, chairman of the sidewalk committee of the Worth- mgton fire district awarded the con- tract to the New Haven company fol- lowing the last special meeting of the Worthington fire district. The price quoted in the contract is $1,050. The walks will be repaired on both sides of the street. The work on repairing the side- walks began this morning when a gang of laborers, representing the company, came into town. All of the walks will be re-surfaced with tar. The “flag walks will not be touched by this company as the majority of these are in good condition although there are not many in Berlin. The cross walks and driveways will also be fixed by the Rice concern. There has never been a cross walk at the intersection of Hudson and Berlin street. The. sidewalk was continued directly across Hudson street and the passage of teams and automobiles over this stretch has placed the sidewalk in a poor condition. This, however, will be remedied as the company is planning to build a cross walk at this point. The company will probably be working in town for two or three yeeks at it is expected it will take that much time in doing the work. The tar sidewalks in Berlin were built about 15 years ago, under the direction of the Village Improvement society. This socicty has been done away with since the foundation of the fire disirict which now takes charge ot such affairs. For the past few years the walks have been in a poor condition and at the last regular meeting of the Worthington fire dis- trict it was voted to have them re- paired. When the special meeting was cailed the Rice company had sent in their figures which were approved by tha district with the result that work has- started on the repairing. New York Children Leaving. Plans are being made by tho wo- men of the town, who have had the New Pork children for the past two weeks ,to send them to their homes in New York on Wednesday. after- noon. Many of the local residents are sorry to see the little tots go in as much as it has been a great pleas- urn to have, them in Berlin. Many of the children regret going as they have had, as one of them said: “The best time of our lives.” During their stay in Berlin they have been taken to Lake Compounce where they held a picnic, were given a ride around tHe lake in a motor boat and given a chance to ride on the many forms of amusement over there. Un- der the auspices of the Motherhood club they were given a picnic at Boardman’s Grove. Individual par- ties Pave arranged various good times for the children and it is with they will leave Berlin af- spent two weeks from the Pearson on Chautauqua. Dr. Paul M. Pearson,a lover of the chautauqua says that the aim of the Lyceum and the chautauqua is to con- tribute positively to those influences in the community whi¢h make for a larger and more joyous life, and pre- sent a non-partisan, non-sectarian discussion of economic, social, educa- tional and religious question. The means employed towards this end are lectures, music and entertainments, arranged in such proportion as will most cartainly secure the largest and deepest cross-reaction, and presented by caretully organized methods which stimulate and conserve the higher as- pirations and direct the best impulses of the entire community. The people of Berlin will have their first opportunity to see a chau- tauqua when such will play here from August 30 until September 2. The tent will be pitched at the Ken- sington school grounds. The committee in charge of the event is'now planning for a house to house canvdss to be made very shortly for the sale of tickets. Realizing that chatauqua is new to Berlin, the com- mittee does not feel that the demand for tickets will be very great but it is hoped that the people will buy so that the affair may be made a suc- cess and therefore held yearly. Repairing ‘“€at Hole” Road The town teams are now busy re- pairing the so-called ‘“cat hole” road from' Kensington Meriden. This road is in the blue hills district of the town. Mr. Carter stated this morning, that although it was not known when the work began, that Mr. French of New Britain had asked for the right to run a jitney along this road, the im- provement will be a great aid to the jitneys as this road has never been in extra good condtion. As was stated previously Mr. French has applied to the Public Utilities Commission to operate a jitney line from New Britain to Meriden via the “cat hole” road. Such a jitney line it is believed will be a paying proposi- tion and will benefit Kensington homes which are not reached by the trolley. People Object Some Berlin residents have taken to the article which appeared in the “Obesrver’s column of Saturday night’'s Herald relative to there not being a sign at the top of Damon's hill telling which road to take to get into New Britain. There is, however a white and green sign on the tree in front of Blake and Woodruff store, which has New Britain painted on it with an arrow telling which direction to go. This sign has been there for the past year. Accidents on Turnpike. A Hupmobile sedan driven by Gas- low Gringutes of Hunter Road, New Britain, skidded and overturned on the Berlin turnpike yesterday morn- ing a little below the Peat Works. ‘There were six peopls in the machine at the time of the accident but none were injured with the exception of a small girl who received a few cuts about her hands. The car was taken to a local garage. Daniel J. Murray of Lawrence, Mass., skidded on the wet pavement and ran into an automobile driven by Charles Leavey of Bayonne, New Jer- sey.

BOY SCOUTS PLAN ACHIEVEMENT CLUB Echoes From Daily Vacation Bible School Answered by Boy Scouts Under the direction of Walter L. ‘Williams, a Junior Achievement club will be organized by Troop 2. Boy Scouts, at its Tegular meeting in South Congregational church tomorrow eve- ning. This troop, which is composed of a group of activé boys, is anxious to branch out and do something not us- ually attempted by the average sconut troop. With the co-operation of its scoutmaster, Frederick Fay, the troop plans to break into the wood working business. Some of the boys in the troop wero connected with the Daily Vacation Bible school, which closed last Fri- day, and are anxious to continue their studies. Coping saws will be furnishea by the young men and cigar boxes and other material will. be used in the manufacture of toys and wooden noveties. If the movement in the troop provss a success, Mr. Fay plans with the as- sistance of Mr. Williams, to open another class for boys who are not scouts. This class would admit any boy regardles of his church affiliation. WANTED IN NEW HAVEN. Angelo Cianflione of this city, was arrested here today by Detective Sergeant A. J.

ACES LOSE AGAINST LOCAL RIVAL TEAM Greatest Game of Season Playedl Yesterday DODGE-TROMBLEY NUPTIALS Man May Be Prosecuted for 1In Treatment of Horse in Exhausted Condition—Chamber of /Commerce Outing Tickets Appear—Items. One of the fastest games of the season ,was played at Allen's field yes- terday afternoon when the Piainville Athletic club and the local Akes, clashed for the first game in a series of three for the championship of the vicinity. The Aces were defeated by a score of 12 to 8. Heavy hitting featured on both sides. Griffin, pitch- ing for the Plainville A. C., aTlowed the Aces to get away with 13 hits while Highland, for the Aces, Ilet his opponents get but nine. Highland also struck out nine men while Grif- fin retired but five. The game was ‘“air-tight” up to the eight inning with the score six to three in favor of the Aces. The Blainville | Athletic team, however, cn)&)ack into form after the eighth inning ard a tally of six more runs was, added to the others. The Aces players are of the opinion that an erroneous decision started the ball roljing for their rivais which brought the score as it was in the ninth.in- ning. Both teams played excellent ball throughout the game and were in fine shape. There was a . large attend- ance of fans as there exists a great deal of rivalry between the teams. During the past season, there were several arguments started as to which team was the best and ‘the outcome of this was the announcement that a series of three games would be played. The next game will un- loubtedly be next Sunday and the Aces feel confident of bringing the bacon home with them. The fact that they made such a good showing up to the ninth inning when they had the big team 6 to 3, is evident tha: ‘hey ran play good ball and will give ‘hem another run next week. Dodge—Trombley Nuptials. A pretty wedding took place this afternoon at 2 o’clock at the People’s Church of Christ, at New Britain when Miss Lillian Dodge, daughter of Mg and Mrs. Clark Dodge of Tomlin- son avenue, and Arthur Trombley, of 130 Broad street, both of this town, were married.

Plainville A. C. Wins The Plainville A. C., defeated the Collinsville team in that town Satur- day atternoon by the score of 7 to &. Goebe and Kilduffy was the battery for the locals while Reeves and Schroeder, their home favorites, was the battery for Collinsville.

SOLDIERS IN REVOLT Peruvian Forces Capture City, Confis- cate Money, Set us Censorship Lima, Peru, Aug. 15.—Government authorities are 'taking steps to restore order in the city of Iquitos, capital of the department of Loredo, eastern Peru, where members of the garrison revolted on Friday. Advces from Iqui- tos are meagre, but it appears the troops, mutinied, presumably because of discontent over their failure to re- ceive payment. Confirmation of re- ports from Iquitos to the effect that the branch of the Peru and London Bank of that city was compelled to turn over funds to the soldiers, has been received by La Prensa. ! The soldiers are said to have seized about 23,000 pounds sterling. The newspaper says it has learned the mutineers also levied cash contribu- tions upon various commercial houses in the city after which they took con- trol of the radio station and establish- ed a censorship.

The Morning Post, taking the view that the negotiations with Ireland had reached a most critical stage, de- ounced the government for “having deliberately placed this countiry in the position of a defeated nation by suing for terms.” “Mr: De Valera and his fellows” the n:wspaper added, * not unnatur- ally decided they would have only to ask for more to get it. The liberal and labor parties and the greater proportion of the PEritish press have given them every encouragement to believe they would succeed.” “All of Ireland’s best friends,” =aid the Manchester Guardian, “and all who regard with passionate shame the wrongs she has suffered will hope ad pray she will not now close the door of peace.” % The Yorkshire Post declared the government had already gone far in ¢ven vundertaking negotiations under existing conditions adding that whatever the consequences may be it will not and cannot gc_further.” The Scotsman of Ediaburgh said: “Peace is now in utmost jeopardy, and if the Sinn Fein has spoken its last word, the revulsion of temper in this country will be instant and over- whelming.” The Glasgow Herald said the gov- ernment had made an offer of ‘‘un- paralleled liberality and magnanimi- ty,” adding that the continuance of negotiations was not precluded, “be- cXuse the Sinn Fein has to reckon with the reason of Ireland and the sentiment of the civilized world.” Attitude in Ulster The gttitude of the Ulster govern- ment v;.s made plain by the making public at Belfast of a letter to Mr. Lloyd George from Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier. Sir James express- ed the loyalty of his government tc the empire and reiterated his readi- ness to confer with Mr. Loyd George and the Sinn Fein as to some means of settling the Irish controversy, but declared he would not support the Sinn Fein in what he described was “a move to coerce the government to repudiate the Irish act” and to “press for wider powers.” Sir James said he would not interfere in any negotiations between the British gov- ernment and the Irish republicans but would stand ready to co-operate on equal terms with southern Ireland in cirrying out any agreement they reached. Most of London’s newspapers, in their comment on the new develop- ments in the Irish situation this morn- ing reflected the belief that the gov ernment’s proposals offered a gener- ous settlement of the controversy. Newspaper Opinions “They show great statesmanship. courage and decision on the part of the government” said the London Times. “Broadly these concessions re- present the extreme limit to which this or any British government is likely to go. Mr. De Valera’s reply approaches more closely to the onc desirable in such negotiations than any of his past utterances. It is a reasoned refusal, which appears delib- erately to avoid any final rupture. The oremier’s reply is the only possible rejoinder, and we hope the Irish peo- ple will give deep consideration to the statesman-like advice of Gen. Smuts, premier of the Union of South Africa, whose letter to Mr. De Valera made public on Saturday, urged acceptance of the government’s offer.” The Daily News found ground both for hope and for fear in the corres- pondence, but declined to believe Ire- land “woud throw the substance in grasping at a shadow.” “The government’'s proposals,” the newspaper continued “are as wide and as generous as the most optimistic had desired. Clearly, apart from the question of formal severance from the empire, there is no insurmountable difference regarding the relations to be established between the fwo coun- tries. It is hoped, therefore that Ire- land will act upon the sage advice of Gen. Smuts.” View of Dublin Press. Dublin, Aug. 15.—In discussing the - |CASTORI/ | For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Yea Always pears /4 the /’ Signature of 2 I situation which has arisen thro publication of letters exchangs De Valera and Premi the Dublin Independe: joiced that negotiations loo}H ‘nz to pcace in Ireland and had ni been broken. “It would be tragic if they were, he newspaper said, “and it is strong 'y to be hoped there will be a sati factory ement thereby avertl ‘ne possibility of intens warfar) which if it occurred, would open anpailing prospect.

Publication of the contents of th jetter,” the newspaper added, “wi acceptance by the government of Gel Smuts’ interpretation of the gover: ment's offer. Otherwise, its public tion would be an act of deceptio! The letter, therefore, is no longer letter of private adiice, but a docm ment of\binding consequence.” The Irish Times says: “The Dail Eireann tomorrow wi have a unique opportunity of healing] Ireland’s many wounds and of assur ing for the Irish people a great and gloriovs future. We hope and pray they will follow Gen| Smuts’ safe ad. vice." The Cork Examiner says: “The way to settlement would pei haps be much easier if Ulster were little more yielding, but we have o g0 to face the fact that Sir Jamel Craig’s Ulster wants, for the present] at all events to stand upon its own.™ Commenting on the new develop-| ments, the Unionist Belfast Telegragh) says: y Have Month of Peace. Dublin, Aug. 15.— (By Associated Press)—The people of Ireland who have enjoved a month ot peace, found it hard today to believe that megotia- tions between Eainon De Valera and Premier Lloyd George were at the breaking point. They were placing their hopes in the TIrish republican parliament which will meet tomorrow, to consfder the whole correspondence and frame a reply to the premier's| latest letter. Suggestion has been made that the Dail Eireann may propose submission of the question to a plebiscit but this| proposal may not come from thoss! wishing to prolong the truce as long| as possible. Belfast Not Surprised. Belfast, Aug. 15.—Little surpriss was felt here at the tenor of the let- ter from Eamon De Valera to Pre- mier Lloyd George rejecting the gov- ernment’s offer of dominion status for Ireland as talk of peace has beed re- garded {with much scepticism. It is pointed out that should the truce in southern Ireland be ended, the gov= ernment’s difficulties wculd be enor- mously increased through having rec- ognized the Sinn Fein as belligerents. A meeting of the Ulster cabinet has been called although Ulster is only directly interested. Sir James Craig, the premier is grouse shooting im) Scotland. N\ £ Opposed to Separations “What a tragedy for Irish national= ism fhat there is not today in its ranks one man of the quality, char- acter, bigness and statesmanship to stand forth upon the stage and rally round him all the thousands who are groaning for such a peace as is now offered and are tarning weeping eves and longing hearts everywhere for some strong man to lead them out of the Gethesemane which the gunmen ‘have made of Ireland. “England has been magnanimous to the point of folly amd Ireland insane to the point of criminality.
