Thte road is being scraped and dug up and it was said this morning that the road will be macadamized. The roads about town are wow in good condition, although several com- plaints have come to the ears of First Selectman George B. Carter from New Britain people, who say the roads are not good. Mr. Carter advises them to look at the New Britain streets and,| see how much better the Berlin roads are in comparison. The section of state trunk line high- way along School street is rapidly nearing compietien and will be open- ed for traffic in a few days, it is ex- pected. The road is much wider than it formerly was and is of cemeant. With the completion of the road along School street a choice residen- tial section will be open for prospec- tive residents in Berlin. So far, there {s but one residence on the street, the condition of the road having been such that people apparently were not over anxious to build there. However, with an exceilent cement road, one of the arteries of traffic be- tween| Kensington, New Britain and Hartford, it is expected that the sec- tion will rapidly build up Will Play In Avon The third game of the season for the All-Kensingtons”will be played in Avon tomorrow afternoon against the formidable team of that town. The All-Kensingtons put in a session of heavy practice last evening and are now “all set” for the fray tomorrow afternoon. The lineup has been strengthened in several places. One of Kensington’s best twirlers will be cn the mound for the locals and he will be backed up by the best team that could be secured in town. Trucks will leave Mack's garage to- morrow afternoon at 1 o'clock sharp, daylight saving time, for Avon and it is expected that a large number of fans will accompany the squad, as a heavy game is expected and interest is high among baseball enthusiasts in | town. spring months and many motorists have complained about the rough spots and the holes which are found Repairs Committeg of School Board Tnstructed to Proceed in the thoroughfare. HAS FINGERS AMPUTATED Meriden is doing the work and this — Road is Being Repaired in Kensington Items of Interest in Churches— Ttem Will Play in Avon Tomorrow —Other Items of Interest in Town. The repairs committee of the school board has been instructed to go ahead with any repairs necessary, it was learned this morning from A. A. North, acting chairman of the board. These repairs will include the in- stallation of water in several schools of the town, namely the Hubbard, Worthington, Percival and Kensing- ton. This will include the putting in of sanitary toilets. There has been much discussion since the installation of watermains in the town about equipping the schools with running water. At the last regular meeting of the board several weeks ago the building committee chairman, John McKeon, Jr., was instructed to secure estimates for the work, which has been done. The heating plants at the Hubbard and Kensington will also be over- hauled and replaced if necessary. There was considerable trouble dur- ing the past winter with the heating apparatus and the board is determin- ed not to have this happen again. The work will be started as soon as possible and will be completed some time during the summer so that when the children return to school in the fall. there will be several new con- veniences ready for them. Fingers Are Amputated John Sontopotro of Berlin, an em- ploye of the Berlin Construction com- pany of Kensington, suffered a painful {njury while at work at the plant yes- terday, resulting in the smashing of two fingers, it being necessary to am- putate them.

ALL TRUSTWORTHY Louisiana Judge Refuses to Con- . ¥ict on Dogs’ Testimony New Orleans, July 7.—"Bloodhound testimony' savors of superstition, ac- cording to Charles A. eill, chief justice of the Louisiana supreme court dissenting from a majority opinion | upholding a conviction for murder, “and is as barbarous as witchcraft ft- self.” The court affirmed the convic- tion of Mitchell Davis, of Franklin | parish, found guilty because it was | testified a dog followed a trail from | the scene of the murder and brought | up at Davis’ home a quarter mile | away, but the dissenting opinion of the chief justice has won for the de- fendant a rehearing of his petition for a new trial. Davis was sentenced to life imprisonment. “The ruling that such evidence is |admissible is contrary to the weight |of authority and is violative of the | fundamental right of an accused per- son to be faced and to cross examine the witness against him,” said the | |chief justice. “In a sense of course, it may be said that the bloodhound | does not testify, that his conduct is the subject of the testimony merely {as the circumstance showing guilt of the person trailed by the hound. But | this statement, that the bloodhound | does not testify is only skin deep. The | bloodhound, in such case, is a sup- posed expert witness who cannot give | any reason for his expert opinion of | the gulit of the person whom he trails. To admit such testimony s the same as to say that testimony of lookers-on would be admissable to |prove that a human being with an abnormal sense of smell trailed the 1p»-rnon on trial and pointed him out as the guilty party even if the human being could not give any reason for his expert opinion. The administra- | | tion of justice is a practical affair. | “Some men put more credence in | weird, uncanny, unexplainable ecir | cumstances than they accord to sim ple facts, and some have more faith | oven in mediumistic messages from planchettes and ouija hoards. The so- | called ‘bloodhound testimony,’ heing unexplainable, savors of superstition, |and is as barbarous and dreadful as | witcheraft itself.” | | | CHINESE KIDNAPPINGS Bandits in New Outrage, Carrying Off | 90 Native Prisoners To B> Held for Ransoms.
