For First Selectman and Tax Gollector Respectively EARLY MORNING FIRE SCARE Fire Destroys the Home of Carl E. Bengston in Beckley — 88-Year-Old Woman Visiting Here—Church No- tices—Berlin Items of Interest. Although members of the Tndever - en: Political association ol this town we previously stated that this or- nization would not nla:: a cand date on the floor ‘or selecimar or Tax collecter, at a well attended and very enthusiastic meeting oi thn tion heid in Forester’s hall .ast ever.- ing, th: name of George Baldwin, of Kensingtod was endorsed as their can- didate for first selcctman at the com- ing republican caucus and E. G. Rob- ins of FEast Berlin was endorsed for tax collector at the somo caucus. The anembers of the club feel that in these %wo men, they have the strongest possible candidates for tha respective offices and no doubt exists in the minds of the members, of their ability to give the town, if nominated and elected, the most thorough and businesslike administration Berlin has ever had. There was a good attendance at the meeting last night and those present were all in favor of the above named possible candidates. They feel that Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Robins have been rcsidents of the town for many vears and are well acquainted with local affairs. If Mr. Robins is nom- inated he will oppose Mr. Lewis of Kensinston for the offic. of tax col- lector. If Mr. Baldwin is nominated for first selectman, it is not known whom he will oppose, as no other nominees have been mentioned and First Selectman Carter has not made public a statement to the effect that he would again be a candidate for that position. With the above action of the Independent Political organization, Derlin is bound to have an interesting political war during the month of September. Jire as Bengston Home, The home of Carl A. Bengston, of Beckley road, was totally destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. The loss, including the house and fur- niture, is expected to amount to $4,000 nd is partially covered by insurance. Mr. Bengston is a local milk dealer and was on the job this morning de- spite the fact that his home had been burned to the ground. The fre occurred at about 2 o'clock and a call was sent to New Britain to which Engine company No. 2, re- sponded. A younger member of the family stated this morning that his mother woke up early this morning and heard a noise which sounded like rain. Going to the window she saw that it was not raining and went downstairs. On opening the door down stairs, smoke poured into the hallway and Mrs. Bengston imme- diately went upstairs and woke the rest of the family. The Bengston fam- ily got out of the house but did not have time to save any of the furni- ture hefore the building was a mass of flames. The origin of the fire is not known. ’, The passing of the New Britain Fire department through the towns of Ken- sington and Berlin, woke up many of the people, who followed the fire en- gines and were soon upon the scene of the fire. The house of Mr. Bengs- ton was situated half way between E Berlin and Beckley. Wh cia were heard by many and came from the direction of Middletown at the same town as the fire was raging in East Berlin.. These noises also woke a great many people who saw the fire from their homes. The New Britain Fire department was called upon the scene but was not able to do much, as there was no place near the spot of the fire where water could be secured. As a local man said this morning, a bucket brigade from Berlin could have done as much as the New Britain fire department under the conditions and wo1ld have probably saved the town some money.

Sociul events money for uniforms and ocher equip- ment needed. The committee to look after this matter is: Salvator Morino, Meyer Sneideman, Edward Naaman, John Murphy and John Breen. It is the hope of the management that the fans will support the playvers this sea- son as they have done during the base- ball period. Top notch opponents will be secured to play and all games will be held at Rockwells Field. Harry Bonney of th lell also be held in an effort to raisc s town, has been coaching end.

A studebaker touring car was de- “troyed by fire yvesterday afternoon. Tt was owned by a resident of Moun- tain View, whose name could not be learned. The fire started when the owner was passing through that sec- ‘ion and a little. girl noticed flamet ‘inder the front seats. The local fira Aepartment was called to the scene but tha car wwas so badly damaged on their arrival that little aid could bae given A trucic owned by this man was dam- ged by fire while being driven from Southington some time ago. Another failure in the fira signal stemn was encounteered when the Alarm was sent in yesterday. Tt is not the fault of lack of steam at the Bristol Mills, nor the operators at the telephone exchange where the alarms are sent from. It appears that some- thing is wrong with the mechanism of the whistle itself and although the proper pressure of steam is given it, the whistle fails to respond. School Reunion. Mrs. Myron M.

Plainville will have their favor- ites, Griffin, Phelps and Kilduff as the battery, while the Independents will use Smith and Hart. The management of the team an- nounces that should the support of the local fans falls short as it has been doing, this will be the last game 2t the local field. The attendance is seen to be wavering at cach game and the team has to put up with a great expense to have out of town players come here. Church Notices. Church of Our. Saviour.
