Chlef of Police E. T. Belden. and Motorcycle Policeman B. J. W. Burns of the Bristol police who were in the neighborhood, . has- tened to the assistance of the Plain- ville police and turned the tide of battle in their favor. When they en- tered the house, they found four of- ficers besieged by six occupants, the lord of the house and his spouse and four male visitors, all alleged to have been intoxicated. The home, situated as it is near the Forestville line, has bheen raided sev- eral times, convictions on violation of the liquor laws have been secured against the proprietor. The raid yes- terday, it is said, was conducted fol- lowing receipt of information as to alleged sale of hooch there, from a boarder at the place. The officers swooped down on the house, but aft- er a thorough search, they falled to discover any contraband. They then prepared to depart when suddenly, Mr., and Mrs. BSimma launched a spirited attack on the two remaining officers in the house. They were quickly joined by four visitors who pitched into the officers with a great deal of vigor. The two police- men who had gone out of the house, iumped bacK in, and in the melee that followed. Officer Hogan was part- Iy disabled when a beer bottle crashed over his skull. A few seconds after this, Mrs. Zimma got a strangle hold on Officer Conlon's fingers with her teeth and the officer howled in pain. The attacking force was slowly gaining the verdict on the minions of the law, when the officers drew their blackjacks and guns. The display of arms falled to check the onslaught and it was only when the help of the Bristol police -officers arrived, that the tide of battle swung over to the side of law and order. Handcuffs were placed on the combatants and they were placed in the lockup to awalt trial today. Zimma, the proprietor of the house, resisted arrest so effectively, that it was necessary for three policemen to handle him and at that they had a hard time getting him in. The six were charged with drunkenness, re- sistance and breach of the peace. When the officers returned to the town hall, they hastened to have their wounds of battle dressed. According to some of them, the affair was the hardest battle since the riot of a few years ago. Change in School Opening. The school committee at a recent meeting made an important change in the opening of the school term. The members gécided that because of the usual hot weather experienced during the first week in September, that the opening of the fall school term would be postponed until the second week of the .month, Monday, September 10. Principal Orrin L. Judd stated that all new pupils entering the Plainville schools this year, must show either a certificate of birth or a transfer card from the school last attended. New puplils, flve years or older, will be. received in the school until No- vember 1, of this year, : Last year pupils will present cer- tificates of promotion at the opening of the term and they will be admit- ted to. their respective grades on the opening day. Grades on Part Time. It has been found necessary.to con- duct the kindergarten and the first grades on part time until more school accommodations are provided and if the condition of the grades warrant the procedure, part time will also be the schedule wherever the number of puplls is too many to handle in full session. Although the members of the school board and the principal teel that this condition is very un- satisfactory, It is the best solution at the present time for the over- crowded condition of the grades and until such a time as new schools or more robm is provided. Besides taking care of the elemen- tary .grade children, it will be neces- sary for the Plainville school board to maintain the education of their pu- pils eligible for high school. This has been forced on the local board through the refusal of both the New Britain and Bristol school boards to handle any more pupils from Phain- ville. Catholic Announcements. Rev, John L.

Nebraska got into the fight when Governor Bryan sent tele- grams to all principal oil companies, requesting a reduction in price, As a result of the agitation in the central west, Governor Len Small of Illinois announced he was investigat- ing the situation with a view to take ing action.
