Judgment was suspended on charges of operating without a license, Jennings of 332 Chestnut stre charged with taking an automobile without permission had judgment suspended in his case. The young men were arrested ear- Iy Wednesday morning, according to the story given by the police. Pa- trolmen O'Brien and Daniel Cosgrove saw the machine being operated by Dobruck traveling along Washington street and swerving from one side of the road to the other. When the ma- chine swung into Lafayette street, the policemen cut through and headed it off, but Dobruck refused to stop, al- most running down O'Brien who stood in the middie of the road hailed a passing machine and pur- sued Dobruck, catching him near the cireus, They found he had been drinking and Cosgrove took the wheel of the machine and started to drive to the station. When they reached last Main street, Dobruck made a dive and succeeded in getting away from the policeman, only to be apprended again in the rear of an East Main street building. Here he gave the before police a rough and tumble tussie he-, fore they succecded in the handcuffs on him. An investigation into the ownership of the automobile, which was a small truck, showed that it was the prop- erty of Joe Laustauskas, proprietor of the Kelsey market, lice that Jennings had taken the ma- chine home with him when he went to lunch and had not returned to the store with it. Jennings was then placed under arrest at hi- home on A charge of taking the machine with- out permission, Dobruck pleaded guilty 1o the charge of driving under the influence of liquor through his attorney, Alfred LeWitt, Judge William I, Mangan represented Jennings, Other Autoists in Trouble James Densmore had judgment suspended arraigned on a charge of operating without a license on his person, and Clifford 8heppard of Simsbury was fined $10 for improper use of number plates. The arvest of the men fol- Jowed the stopping of a truck driven by Densmore on West Main street yes: terday that the policeman had seen several days before with New York registration plates. He questioned the driver about the plates, and was fnformed that they had been taken from another truck and placed on the one he was driving, which had just hoen purchased and had not been reg- istered, Poth pleaded gullly Sheppard #ald that his other truck broke down and as he had to deliver milk, he took a chance on changing the plates until he had an opportunity to regis- ter the machine, To Explain Finance Plan For Tabs’ New Building At & meeting of the Y.

Mae- Donald and it clears several points which seemed in doubt when first re- ports were unofficially made of the accident. An old fracture of an inner web plate is held responsible for the collapse and not an overload on the bridge. The accident was on the day when men trom the state highway depart- ment were clearing roads after a ve heavy snowfall, It urrently re- ported after the mishap that two of the department's trucks had * been chained together as they went onto the bridge. The engineer's report says the trucks were scparate and the weight of the second was not entirely on the bridge, The report says that the larger truck weighing. approxi- mately 1,000 pounds and carrying 6,000 was three-quarters way over the bridge when the tru failed by reason of the defective web-plate and it slid Into the water. The smaller truck which was following, was on the edge of the bridge with its front truck on. Without anything to hold it back the smaller truck also slid into the water, The bridge was designed 10 tons with allowances for impast and the dead load produced by the wooden floor. Tt was therefore capable, structurally of carrying four times the load which was actually on the bridge when the truss failed, The fracture in the web-plate was an old one, determined, the engineers by the fact that the crack had rust in it, The bridge had been in charge of the highway department only since last July. Previously the town of Sterling had maintained it, The bridge had appeared to be in ex- cellent condition and not needing re- pairs and had carried heavy loads without sign of defect, The report says that the collapse was peculiar, Only one truss failed while the other stood unmbved in its original position. The stecl floor beams with floor were on one side still attached to the truss and rested with the other end on the bank, Highway Commissioner John to carry CHIPS FLY TODAY, Wood Choppers lompcllng in Devil's Hop Yard State Park, East Haddam, Conn.,, May v— hips will fly at the Devil's hop 'd state park this afternoon when woodchoppers from varicus parts of the state. will contest for the title of “master woodchopper of Connecti- cut” in connection with the spring fleld meeting of the Connecticut Kor- esiry assoclation with Norwich and New London county farm bureaus co-operating.
