A. Park and was re- moved to the Bristol hospital where it was found that he had suffered a deep cut which missed penetrating his heart by a fraction of an inch. His assallant is not known vet to the Bris- tol police who are making a thorough investigation of the affair, suspects, arrested yesterday afternoon, were cleared of the charges of assault and were released. On of them, how- ever, was held on the charge of carry- ing concealed weapon and was tried in court this morning. The two sus- pects were brought before Marina and his companions, but they were unable to identify them, Marino, with two other friends from Plainville were said to have stopped their automoblle at the side of the road in Kast Bristol and while there, another car, carrying the knife wield- er, approached from the rear. When it had drawn alongside the Marino car, onc of the occupants is said to have addressed some {insulting re- marks to the Plainville youths.

The inspector noticed the speeder near the Gwatkin residence and was not able to stop the fleeing car until it had reached the top of Damon'’s hill, where he forced the driver to pull to the side of the road and show his license and registration. The driver said he was hurrying home from the shore and did not realize the speed at which he was going. The inspector gave him a warning that if he was brought to his notice again it would go hard with him. Avon Defeats All-Kensington, The All-Kensington baseball team was defeated 9 to 8 in a nip and tuck game in Avon with the fast team of that town Sunday. The issue was not decided until the last man was out. Kensington staged a ¢rally which nearly pulled the game out of the fire in the last inning when the batters landed on the Avon twirler who up to this time had the Ken- sington team eating out of his hand. The first man up in the ninth for Kensington hit one out of the lot and this seemed to inject some life into the rest of the Kensiggton team. The Avon twirler was taken out. The final rally fell out short of producing the tieing run although the Kensing- ton rooters were well pleased with the fighting spirit which the members of the team displayed. Members of the team will practice at the school grounds tonight. All are requested to be present, Field Day a Sucocess The joint field day of the Kensing- ton and Berlin Men's Bible classes, which was held at the community house grounds Saturday afternoon, was voted a huge success by all who attended and it is the plan of the members to make the event an annual one. The six legged race was a Chin- ese puzzle to all who pere present and it was almost impossible to ascertain who had won. It is the opinion of many of those who were present that if some of the participants were to train, Charley Paddock, the holder of the werld's sprinting record, would find his laurels in danger. After the dust had cleared away from the grounds and the various calls and shouts of encouragement to the pitch- ers of the baseball had subsided an attempt was made to determine the score, but was abandoned as the scores had apparently became so in- terested in the game that they had slipped up on some of the more im. rortant points. Although rooters for both were strong in their declarations that their respective teams had been the victor it was decided to call off the official score and let it be called a tie so that neither pitcher would have his record spoiled. In the tug-of-war, the Kensington team gave its rooters something to crow over. There were dark rumors afloat, however, that the members of | the Kensington team had eaten heavy in preparation for the event and that they had been holding sacret practices in the dead of night so as to be cer- tain that no scouts could get a line on them. Aftar the athletic events were over refreshments were served and many compliments were heard of the man- ner in which the field day program was run off. Shower For Miss Young A surprise shower was held at the! home of Mrs. A. J. Barrett on Berlin | street Saturday night in honor of Miss | Helen Young who will become the | bride of Stanley Barrett of Berlin| street. .The affair was in the natpre of a kitchen shower and Miss \'mtup received many pretty and useful gifts There were abowt 45 guests present from Granby, Plainville, New Britain, | Berlin, Hartford, Collinsville, | | ville and Kensington. | Outing to Be Held The anndal outing of the employes of the American Paper Goods Co., will be held Saturday, July 25, at Savin Rock.

In Auto Accident William Walsh of Kensington was notified to appear in the Wallingford police court Thursday morning to an- swer to the charge of hitting a Ford coupe driven by Henry Sheey of Wal- lingford last Wednesday at the corner of Christian and North Colony streets in Wallingford. 1In the car with Mr. Sheey was e: hief of Police Daniel O’Reilly. ‘This make the third acci- dent that Mr. O'Reilly has figured In. Mr. Sheehy claims that he was driv- ing on Colony street and was about to turn into Christian street when Mr. Walsh's car skidded about 25 feet and crossed the road ramming into his car which was badly damaged. Mr. Walsh's car was not damaged to any extent. Land Sold A warantee deed has been recorded in the town clerk’s office showing that Ellen M.

Mrs. Edward Dolan and children of New Britain spent Sunday as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Bour-| geois at thelr home on Main street. Thomas Read and children of Mid- dletown were the guests of Mr. Read's son, E. Vernon Read, at his home on Wilcox avenue yesterday. A party of 13 people from this place enjoyed a motor boat ride down the river Saturday in the “Rubeth,” owned by Mr. Gibney of New Britain. A landing was made near Rock l.and- ing where bathing was enjoyed after which the party continued on as far as East Haddam.

Employes from this place of the American Paper Goods Co. in Ken- sington will attend the annual out- | the automobile in which he was sit- ting, according to the report, and ask- «d the man whal he meant. The oth- :r started a fight and in the.melee which ensued, Marino received the snife thrust. His companions starting 0 aid him, according to the story, were threatened by another man who was holding a revolver After the stab- ving, the two jumped into the auto- nobile and hastened away. Marino was unaware that he had ween cut, it is said, until the blood was noticed on his shirt. He was taken to the hospital. There, it was reported this morning, an examination disclosed the fact that the wound would not be serlous. The examining doctor stated, however, that if the knife had gone a fraction of an inch further, Marino's heart would reen pierced and his death have resulted. The Bristol police, being notified of the assault, quickly rounded up men suspected of ‘the crime. were taken to police headquarters and then-to the hospital. Marino and his friends were unable to identify the men as their assailants. One of the men was carrying a gun on his per- son and he was charged with carrying concealed weapons. They gave sub- would stantial alibls which tended to show | that they were not connected with the stabbing. Plainville in Darkness Stores and homes in Plainville were without electric light service all Sat- urday night, due to a break in the power house caused by the violent electrical storm which passed over New Dritain early in the evening. Business men were forced to usc candles, oil lamps, gas and other means of lighting, but business was practically at a standstill all night leng. The service was resumed again Sunday at noon. Raise Milk Prices Flainville milk dealers announced t> their customers yesterday that the price of milk, starting today, would h> 15 cents per quart, a raise of one cent. The reason for the advance, ac- cording to the milkk dealers is the fact that the dry spell has dried up the griass In the pastures and the cows nive not been producing thelr usuul supply.

MAKE BIG GLEANUP OF CROOKED STOCKS Govt, Combing Coumry--i,flflol Arrests Before Fall 28.—The federal the post office department of is routing the swindlers who mails to defraud innocent stock investors. Within the next six months a great cleanup will be re- ported to the attorney-general. The drive already on resulted in an in-! crease of 100 per cent. in mail fraud ' cases in the last fiscal year. The next annual report of the attorney- general will show a gain of 300 per cent over 1922-1923. Some mysterious hand is guiding | the post office department inspectors and department of justice officials in this pattle against the horde of bad actors engaged in fleecing the public. “For five or six years,” said a high government official yesterday, ‘“one half the men and women of this ccuntry has been engaged in making | money by legitimate means, while the | other half has been using swindling | schemes to rob them. This must stop, and a nation wide campaign carried out by the post office depart- ment and the department of justice is breaking up the oil and real estate swindling conspiracies and the crooked bucket shop games. bucket shop crowd must clear out.” | Getting Prompt Results. | The force behind the cleanup is| working methodically like a machine, | Washington, July government through department and the Jjustice use the ernment system in New York is the same as that in Texas, Florida or on | the Pacific coast, It was predicted by a department of justice official that the peak in this| work will be reached next spring and | ofl stock type to the ‘“cur dog" ven- der will bo put behind prison bars. The big operators are the oil stock | headquarters for the one and Florida | the other. | People wanted to get rich quick, and seeing flaming headlines of care- fully them their fever for oil stock ran high. worded advertisements telling how to do it, they exhausted | ready cash to that end. The Special trains, the justice found, run from middle western states, department of | Towa and to land propositions on the Rio Grande river, were timed to cover the desert coun- try at night and the pretty spots in daylight. ¥rom these larger schemes to the little installment game for selling clocks the country was full of “easy propositions,” all promoters using the mails to put them over. One man in a southern state had a dog selling game that netted him $12,000 in ene year. He used high class mediums | for advertising and appealed to weal- | thy people. On receiving an order for a dog he would step into the vil lage, pick up a mongrel and send him on to fill it. States officials have failed to prose« cute swindlers under their own laws and allowed them to multiply and grow strong, according to department of justice agents, but now many of them are co-operating. Department of justice officials do not contemplate the recommendation of additional laws, for they belleve the emergency can and will be met by ex« isting statutes. In the campaign against swindlers the department of justice and the post office department have joined forces. The co-ordination of these two forces under the direction of Judge John W. H. Crim in charge of criminal prosecution for the attorney- general, and Col. Rush D, Simmons, chief of the division of the post office department inspectorsy is bringing res suits.
