Antonlo Cognato of Boston was fined $200 and costs amounting to $22,60 and Carmen Romano, also of Boston, was fined $150 in the Berlin town court last evening on charges of ‘transporting liquor. When the men first came before the court they said they dld not know what was in the truck when they started out from New York city. Judge George Griswold was con- vinced that Romano was ignorant of what was being carried in the truck and hence, he was let off with a lighter fine. than his companion. Con- trary to. a report yesterday, the men were unable to secure the money for their bonds of $300 each and were forced to remain in the New Britain police station all day yesterday, awalting trial last evening. They were also unable to furnish money for their fines and Judge: Griswold remained at the town hall with them last evening until a man went to New Haven in an effort to secure money. FKis effort was un- stccessful and men were taken back to New Britaln. Up to this morning they had not succeeded in securing the money and Judge Griswold stated that if the money is not ferthcoming before night they will be lodged in the county jail at Hartford.

The announcement by A. F. Rock- well, president of the Standard Steel & Bearing Co., that the entire Phila- delphia plant will be moved to Plain- ville by October, according to pres- ent expectations, has offset the gloom caused by the closing of the mills. According to Mr. Rockwell, there will be an increase in the number of em- ployes more than enough to offset the number who will be out of work because of conditions at the knitting nudll. ‘White peanut, Come make heasant tail trims. faille silk with Canton crepe, Sporty models, Come select while stocks are Big Truck Ditched A large truck owned by the Fogerty & Rendrickson Co. of Springfield, was ditched on Whiting street, near Hart's corners, this morning ahout 7 o'clock when the driver in attempting to turn around on the road, backed the ve- hicle onto the soft dirt which has been filled in on the side with the re- sult that the rear wheels sank down vntil the body of the truck reposed on the surface.
