Berlin News BERLIN MOTORMAN FOR TWELVE YEARY Robert Murray Will No Longer Be on Local Line SCHOOL TARDY CAMPAIGN Made Decided Improvement is by Children—Death of Michele Panico —Nickel Raising Contest—Fishing in Florida—Briefs. Robert Murray of New Rritain, who been a motorman on the Connec- ticut company lines in Rerlin for the past 12 years, will leave the local lines as soon as the one mhn cars are put in operation. He will hereafter take city runs in New Britain. Mr. Murray is one of the best known motormen on the lines of the C'onnecticut company. During the time spent in Berlin he has become well acquainted with local people, and to many he is known as ‘“DBob” !n- stead of Mr. Murray. In relating his experience on the Berlin lines, Mr. Murray said this morning that he will greatly miss the Berlin people, whom he has come to know so well. Many of his best friends have been made while he was a mo- torman on the Berlin line, he paid. ‘When he first started to operate trolleys in this town the single truck cars, similar to those heing run on the East Main street line in New Britain, were in use. There w a stretch at Towers' corner and the cars ran through to the end of East Main street. lLater the Berlin trolleys ran to the north end of the town, and a few years ago the local line was made a single branch and the cars turncd at the triangle in New Britain. | Traffic Heavy. According to Mr. Murray, traffic was much heavier on the trolleys eight and ten years ago than it is at the present time. He said that the people were more content in those days with the trolley as a means of conveyance and that the automo- bile has had some effect on the num- ber of passengers riding. He also recalls the days of the Rer- lin fairs when it was necessary to op- erate extra trolleys to care for the huge crowd which usually attended these affairs. School Tardy Campaign. During the past month a ‘“anti- tardy campaign’ was held at all of the Rerlin schools. This campalgn will continue for another month.

Selectman Johnson has gone over the budget carefully and at first figured on a tax of about 19 and one-half mills. That rate, however, would barely cover the | expenses, and the town would prob- ably find itself in debt at the end of the year, as there are generally other expenses added to the budgt as the AyS. The grand list now totals $4, 275, following the additions made hy the board of rellef. The sum of $82,- 784.87 will be raised b, (& The estimated income to be raised from other sources will amount to §7,- 586.50. Of this amount $3,000 will come from personal taxes and the re- maining sum, $4,5686.50, will come from the state, The tax rate of 20 mills will bring in about 84,405.50. This amount, in addition to the r turns from personal and state tax, will cover the budget. The estimated expenses of the town are $90,620.50 The total sum to be collected from taxes will come to $91,992. Ball-Case Wedding. Miss Catherine Case, daughter Mr. and Mrs. Sydney E.

ENGLAND GIVES UP HOLD OVER EGYPT (Continued from Tiirst Page) methods of Mahatma Gandhi in In- dia. Most of the population of Egypt is Mohammedan and in adopting the Gandhi policy they followed the lead of their Mohammedan brethren In India now allied to the Nationalist movement of the Hindus. The fol- lowers of Abbas Hilmi and Said Zag- loul Pasha, meanwhile, turned to more violent measures. Street lamps and shop were smashed in Alexandria, government offices in Gizeh were raided and mobs entered the Iuro- pean quarter in Port Said. The dis- turbances became so serious late in December, 1921, that special British naval units were sent to Suez, Isma- lia, Port Said and Alexandria. Cairo for a time was without means of transportation and 400 agitators were arrested in Alexandria. The authori- ties in Suez warned the public that girplanes would drop smoke bombs preliminary to actual firing to dis- perse crowds. Government schools and law courts were closed, postai service restricted. ligyptian mer- chants cancelled orders with British firms and the Coptic patriarch ¢rder- ed a nationwide “strike.” Urge Independence Zaguloul Pasha, one of the Nation- aiist leaders, was formerly minister ot justice. Supported by strong Turkish and other elements, he has agitated complete independence for Egypt ever since the great war. After the war his influence was so pronounced and his secret organization so widespread that the British had difficulty in finding any Egyptian willing to accept high office 1n the government. During the Paris peace conference, windows British | Zagloul and a few of his aides under- took to present the case of Egypt, but he and his fellow® Nationalists were arrested and imprisoned in Malta where they remained until the con- ference adjourned. The nationali meanwhile, carried onr an extensive propaganda and Zagloul's arrest was accompanied by violent outbreaks in Cairo and Alexandria. On October 14, 1921, Zagloul arrived at Cairo hut the British forbade his landing and Viscount Allenby, several months lat- er, ordered his deportation to Ceylon. Highway To Egypt British interest in I3gypt, whose Suez Canal makes it the empire's highway to India and the rich re- glons of the east, really dates from 1848 when the railroad from Alex- andria to Cairo was started. The country was, invaded by Napoleon in 1798 and the French were expelled in 1801, but later for many years they cccupied a predominant position in the irs of the country. In 1856, when I'rench influence was at its height, Ierdinand de Lesseps —Wa granted a concession for the construc- tion of the Suez Canal, which g completed in 1869. Meanwhile, the British had established a telegraph company and the bank of Egypt. P'rime Minister Disraeli of England, about this time strengthened the po- sition of the British by purchasing from the profligate Khedive Ismail, $20,000,000 worth of Suez shares. Ismall, after having lost thousands of lives and wasted vast sums in conflicts with Abyssinia and in ex- tending his dominion in the Sudan, was deposed in 1879 and his son, Tewfik Pasha, was appointed his suc- cessor. Anglo-IFrench control of country continued until 83 when the Irench withdrew, by agreement with England, to devote their atten- ticn to Morocco. Revolt In 1884 The permanent military occupation of ligypt by the British was follow- ed in 1884 by the revolt of the Mah- dists or religious fanatics, armed fol- lowers of a supposed me h. General Charles (Chinese) Gordon, who was sent the British government to the Sudan to assist the khedive in withdrawing arrisons of the country which could hold out no longer against the Mahdi, was beseiged for months at Khartum and killed in the storming| Sub- down, 26, 1885. was put the of the city on January sequently, the revolt General Kitchener opéned to Khartum and Egyptian sway in that region was established by the British army in 1898, In the work of developing Egypt along modern lines, Gladstone, “The Great Commoner’ England, had no‘small part.
