Families in Plainville who change their place of residence seldom méve about in a sort of checker game as three families have done within the past few days. One moved from one house into another. Another family occupied their rent and the family that had vacated theghouse into which the first party went, followed close after and took the second house. This is the way it was done: Arthur Farrar and William Allen who lived on Strong Court, moved their families into the tenement recently occupied by Frank White at the corner of Broad and Whiting streets. Mr, ‘White moved his family and house- hold effects into the home of Mrs, Robert Usher on Farmington avenue.

One of the largest crowds that ever attended a court session in the town of Berlin was present last night at the trial of those charged with breach of the peace as the result of a riot at a pienic held at the Milcoe farm in Berlin two wecks ago. Testimony was given in the case and witnesses cross examined by Lawyers Sexton and LeWitt of Npw Britain, Freeman and Hayes of Hartford, and Prosecutor Lewis of Berlin from 8 o'clock until midnight. The following were discharged by Judge George Griswold: Azris and Baba Milcoe, Saul John, Elisha Jos- eph, and Alex Sargis, The following were fined $25 and costs: Joseph Sargis, David Benjamin, Nimrod Sar- gis and Mike Benjamin. David Jones, 16, was fined $25 and costs and sen- tence suspended, and he was put on six months' probation. Abel Benjamin was fined $10 and David Jacobs was fined $25 and costs, which was sus- pended on payment of costs. Sam Baba and John Mushe were charged with selling liquor at the pie- "nic. They were found guilty and fined $100 and sent to jail for 30 days. The trial was replete with contra- dietions by the witnesses and pleasant- ries were exchanged between the different lawyers and the prosecutor, Lawyer Sexton said to Prosecutor Lewis who was examining a trouble- same witness, “Give him a chance to answer your question.” Mr. Lewis re- plied: “When he answers it truthful- Iy Lawyer Sexton then replied: “You mean when he answers it ta suit you."

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS INCREASE July, 1023, Shows $760,000 More Than July, 1929, Collections Hartford, Aug. 17.—Receipts of the United States internal revenue bu- reau in Connecticut last month aggre- gated $1,050,000 an increase of $760,- 000 over the total of receipts for July 1922, it was announced today by Chief Deputy Collector Appleton. A sharp gain in production of fire- arms in the state and the fact that income tax collections nearly doubled those of the corresponding period a year ago were chiefly responsible for the increase and the figures reflect an unusually good season in Connecti- cut in the sale of automobiles and ac- cessories the taxes coilected in July| on account of such sales amounting to $94,000 as against $40,000 collect- ed’in July 1922, Last month receipts of the rev. enue office came from the following sources: Income tax, $600,000; es- tates $171,000; cigars, cigarettes and tobacco tax $29,000; documentary stamps $23,000; telephones and tele- graph tax $36,000; Manufacturers’ ex- cise tax $625,000; dealers tax $25,000; special taxes $286,000; tax on admis- sions and dues $120,000. 3 Theater going in the past month was nearly double that of July 1922, The receipts from admissions and dues in July 1922, aggregated $62,000.

Marriage Statistics The number of marriages in Plain- | ville since the beginning of the year | 1923, is far below the number of fo: mer years. To date, & compilation of the statistics at the town clerk’s of- fice shows that a total of 24 Plainville parties have married since January 1. | Only 13 of the ceremonies were per- | formed in Plainville. About five mar- riages have been performed in the town since the beginning of June. Soliciting Decorations A mber of merchants have been solicited within the past few days by a man representing himself to be an agent of a Bridgeport firm and, ac- | cording to some of the merchants, also to be authorized by the commit- tee arranging for the Firemen's car- nival next month. Members of the committee investigating the actions of the man, found that a number of the | merchants have already signed con- | tracts to have their places decorated during that week. According to Wil- liam Cunningham, chairman of the committee, no one except a member of the Piainville Hose company has yet been authorized to solicit decorat- | ing contracts from ony of the busi- nessmen in the name of the hose company and anyone doing so, not a member of that body, is misrepresent- ing himgelf. Mr. Cunningham stated this morhing that he had interviewed the man in question and he had said that he did not say that he was au- | thorized by the committee of the firemen. The merchants, however, state that he did state that he was authorized. The so-called agent and the committee will meet his evening Palace of Sweets 31 WEST MAIN ST. (New Store) Jce Cream 45¢ a quart. Special for | and Friday and Saturday ago reached only Aug. 17th and 18th. ter a general conference called by the United States coal commission. Mr. Lewis added that there still was plenty of time in which to reach a new wage agreement before August 31 if the operators felt so inclined. Before beginning the third day of the parley called by the coal commis- slon Mr. Lewis said that the way out of the present stated in five words “Abandon check-offs conference.” “If the operators will abandon the check-off as they agreed to the other day, we will be willing to adjourn here and resume negotiations at At- lantic City,” said Mr. Lewis, “We will however insist on full recogni- tion of the union although we will not insist on barring out other than union members from mine operators. If this 1s agreed to there will still be ample time to reach an agreement and avert a strike.” Other representatives of the min- crs declared that their side would stand pat on wage and other de- mands. Officials of the miners’ union representatives of mine oper- ators in the anthracite region assembled to try to give their last words to the United States coal commission in the industrial contro- versy which is threatening to bring difficulty could be and enter about stoppage of anthracite coal pro- duction September 1. Prolonged meet- ings during the past two days are to be brought to a head at meetings be- tween the federal agency and the leaders on both sides. Despairing in the attempt to iron out the technical disputes concerning the “check-off”’ system for collecting union dues and recognition of the union the commission members late yesterday sounded out both parties as to their attitude toward an agreement to suspend hostilities on September 1, keep the mines running and continue| wage contract negotiations with ar- bitration to clinch all disputed points. Mine operators were said to be ready| to go some distance with the plan;| but John L. Lewis, president of the | union and his associate officers were understood to be in solid opposition. Wind Up Conferences. With prospects for agreement les- sening momentarily the commission was said to have no other recourse than to wind up the conferences and report their findings to President Coolidge. All observers conceded this would leave imminent the prospect of a com- plete shutdown of anthracite mining September 1. In an early estatement r. Lewis as- serted the operators had destroyed the miners’ hope for a resumption of ne- gotiations that would be likely to re- sult in a contract that would keep the mines in operation. He charged that miners’ proposition had been misrepresented to confuse the issue. Waive Check-off. “There was nothing in the miners proposal except the check-off and the operators know that fact definitely,” he said. “The miners did not offer to abandon demand number one. They only offered to waive the check-oft feature of that demand. That propos sition was plain, clearly stated and it could not be misunderstood—not eves by anthracite operators. Yet they undertook to read into the miners’ proposition matters that were not there. “Neither did the miners' proposi- tion number two contain a single word about whether the mines should remain in operation after September 1. The miners filed an entirely sep- arate and distinct proposition on that/| subject which the operators have ut. terly ignored. that a suspension may be averted.
