CGARS IN DARKNESS * ONTHE ‘NEW HAVEN They're Still Using Lanterns on the “Berlin Express” Late afternoon and night passen- gers on the New York, New Haven and Hartford rallroad trains between this clty and Waterbury, this city and Hartford as well as this city and Ber- 1in, have been obliged at many times during the past few weeks to ride in dark or dimly lighted coaches, On Saturday evening, when the traffic was heavy and there were hun- dreds of people crowded into the New Britain station waiting for trains the b5:32 o'clock local for Waterbury came from Hartford with nine pas- senger coaches with each coach well filled and many people standing in the alsles, Of the nine cars there were two lighted and the others were in total darkness. Passengers alighting from the cars noticed on the coach steps in white chalk marks the words “No Gas" which meant that there was no gas in the car to provide a light. The cars were dark all the way to Waterbury and, but for the occasional gleam of a street light as the train passe through the various towns, pas- sengers were not able to see the peo- ple with whom they were riding. Although complaints have been heard about the condition of the lighting of the Berlin “dinky" for the past few weeks there has been no change made. One coach {s still lighted by four lanterns hanging from ‘the side walls and the conductor in +this train, the same as on some from Hartford to Waterbury and vice versa collects his tickets with the aid of a lantern, ¢ _ Because of such 'poor lighting con- ditions and the lateness of most trains a number of New Britain people are reputed to have made complaints to the public utilities commission and it is understood that several more are planning to do so.

FRIENDS ARE KIND 0 CHILDREN'S HOME Santa Clans Visits Kiddies With Gilts, Candy; Turkey Dinner 'n All Christmas was a gala day at 'the Children’s Home ahd the hilitop on Rackliffe Heights resounded Sunday evening and all, day yesterday with the joyous shouts and happy cries of little children. There were toys ga- lore, gifts, candy, pop corn, and everything that goes with Christmas. Santa Claus himself dropped in for a vigit with the youngsters, a handsome big tree was trimmed and ‘“reg’lar honest to goodness turkey” surmount- ed the festive board at the Christmas dinner, On Christmas eve members of Aziz Grotto hied themselves to the Dbig brick mansion on the hill and pro- ceeded to inject the real yuletide at- mosphere into the home and hearts of the kiddies. The building was decorated throughout with Christmas ‘greens, etc. There were gifts for everybody. Little boys got their drums and borns and sleds, etc., and many a girl's eyes shone with glad- ness as she clasped a new'dolly to her breast. Santa Claus did the honors and was thanked most heartily by his juvenile friends. Then on Christmas the New Britain lodge of Elks got in their finishing touches to a Merry Christmas and a real turkey dinner with all the “fix- in's" was their gift to the youngsters. Many donations ranging in amounts from $1 to $10 came through the mail and otherwise, and all together it was a wonderful time for the youngsters. HAPPY CHRISTMAS Generous Gifts to Day Nursery—Onc Man Outfits Two Boys — Girls Do Their Part. Many generous contributions 1in cash, clothing, toys, fruit and up- wards of a dozen checks ranging alf' the way from $1 to $10 were recelv- ed by the Day Nursery, at the annual Christmas party. Mrs. Frank O'Brign, superinten- dent, said it was the most successful and the happiest Christmas the nurs- ery cver had. About 100 children and their parents were there and all re- ceived gifts of toys, a pair of stock- *|ings and.a stocking full of candy. A local attorney took two widow s sons out and bought them an entire outfit of clothing from shoes to hats. The Hi-Amo club of girls at the Y. W. C. A. provided considerable fruit and candy and the stockings for the candy were supplied by the girls in Miss Lilllan Chambers class at the Nathan Hale school. Misses Ella Sloper and Helen McDonough filled the stockings. DBaskets of fruit and toys, as well as cash contributions were sent in by many individuals. One woman sent in three puddings.

Washington( Dec. 26.—Christmas arrests In Washington totaled 131, all but twenty-five of which were due to drunkenness. Of the number seventy- nine failed to appear in.police court, preferring to forfeit bail. The record is considered large in view of the drive the prohibition au- thorities have been making against bootlegging in the last ten days. The large number of bootleggers arrested has led to the belief that Washington would be dry on Christmas, Most of the drinking parties were staged in the homes of the partici- pants. The cafes did little business, due to the fear of raids. Most of the drunks arrested were. picked up staggering home. . The entrance of Christmas cheer into the restaurant of the United States senate is under investigation— not a half hearted investigation, but a real, honest to goodness delving. “Who owned that bottle containing liquid with more than the Volstead allowance of alcohol which dropped on the floor of the senate restaurant on Saturday just as a number of sena- tors were dining in an alcove hard by ?" ford Stop Murder Trial and Admit: ThIS. in short, is the subject of the ‘inquiry, and Senator Charles Curtis (Rep., Kan.), chairman of the rules committee of the senate, announced last night that, in view of the fre- Gustave and I'Mnk Sclanfani, broth-|quent rumors connecting legislators ers, of Stamford, charged with the|with violations of the dry laws, he murder of Jgnatius Montagnino, a'would make ‘a searching investigation macaroni manufacturer was halted|j;to the incident. this morning shortly after court re-| Ag 'stated, senators were dining in sumed following the Christmas recess. |that part of the restaurant set aside Manslaughter.

R. at St, Albans Partly Destroyed Early This Morning. St. Albans, Vt., Dec. 26.—The re- pair shops of the Central Vermont Rallway Co. were the scene of a fire early today which destroyed the paint shop and bridge shop, and damaged the coal chute. The passenger coach- es and a mail car in the paint shop were destroyed and a quantity of stores rendered useless, The loss was estimated at $35,000. A high wind and inadequate water pressure handicapped the firemen. The collapse of the big chimney on the machine shop severed the power line and caused some excitement. FLEET FROZEN IN New York Office Shuts Up and Mc- Grath, After Warning, Is Not To Be Found. New York, Dec. 26.—The office of the “Irish consulate” from which Daniel J.

Leaders in Irish affairs in the city claimed they did not know where Mr. MenGrath was, They said they did not know where he lived. Employes of the building in which the rooms are situated said they had not been told the office would be closed, and declared they knew noth- ing about Mr. McGrath or his affairs. Mr. McGrath received a letter sign- ed “military authority, Irish republi- can army” on December 14, inform- ing him he would be shot on sight after the morning of December. 26 because the writers held him respon- dible for the execution of Rory O'Con- nor and three other Irish republicans.
