He 13 alleged to have op- erated a fake jewelry club in Plain- vill, New Britain, Southington,” Meri- den, Bristol '‘and other places in this vicinity, He was brought to Plain- ville'and locked up last night and is held for ‘a hearing today under bonds of $1,600, He was unable to secure bail and was locked up await- ing his trial which was scheduled to be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Wolfe was arrested following: a number of complaints lodged with the local constabulary by residents who say they have been mulcted out of sums ranging from 50 cents to $100. Wolfe termed himself a repre- sentative of the International China & Silver company ‘of New Haven and he was wont to visit homes and interest housewives in a scheme for the formation of a jewelry club. In this, all who agreed to join, paid 60 cents weekly, Each week a number was drawn out and the person hold- ing the lucky ticket was awarded a chest of silver said to ‘be worth $34.50. Upon winning, the person holding the ticket stopped payments and secured the chest of silver. Wolfe is said to have had a glib tongue and he told glowlng stories of persons in Plainville winning every so often and in this way, the silver half dollar pieces kept rolling in. Soon, however, some becoming tired of paying without ever winning, started to investigate the winners whose names were given out by Wolfe. They found that the persons who were supposed to them to be winners, had been told that mem- bers of the investigators had won and so the cat was out of the bag. Further investigation it is said tend- ed to show that no one ever won anything except Wolfe. Policeman Cone, reputed to be ‘one of the most clever detectives on the state force, was soon on the trail of Wolfe, He found that the con- cern he was represenfihg had been closed and a sheriff's lock had been placed on the door. The company maintained a small office in New Haven in which there was a little office furniture and several pleces of silver of the cheapest variety. A girl bookkeeper in answer to ques- tions put to her by some who visit- ed the place, is said to have told the people that she would not work there unless she was paid in advance, The state policeman continued , his investigation and soon got on the trail of Wolfe and arrested him yes- terday. TFor the past few years the New Britain Chamber of Commerce has been deluged with complaints from New Britain people that they have been making purchases from a con- cern of this kind and never heard of anyone who drew less than the full amount. Miss Hary E. Curtin, when secretary, communicated with New Haven county golice officials but was informed that the organiza- tion was within the law. Recently Miss Vivian R. Scott, in response to a number of complaints, again started an investigation and agked the aid of the state police, Successful tertainment. The St. Patrick’s entertainment given last night in the Community theater on Whiting gtreet under the auspices of the combined commit- tees of the church of Our Lady of Mercy for the benefit of the church, was the biggest success both &o0- cially and financially, of recent years, ‘One of the most pleasing surprises of the evening was the do- nation by the owners of the theater of the use of the building gratis to the committecs glving the affair. The vocal, dancing and instru- mental numbers were aadptionally well rendered. Henry Baum, who is reputed to be one of the most pleas- ing singers of the town, was in good burt In the performance 6f Irish Jiga and reels was a feature of the ovening. A violin and plano duet furnished by Sebastian Arcar! and John Varrone and a 'recltation by Alvina Minello were all that was needed to make ‘the program com- plete, .

JOSEPHS Early Struggles—To Sell Bonds of Fifth School District—May Raise Chief her Donnelly Tells of Belden's Salary, Widening of Main street and the subsequent cutting down of the pres- ent sidewalk space will be among the most important of the matters, which will be taken up tonight by the city council at its adjourned meeting. The Main street proposi- tion met with disfavor among some of the property owners, when origin- ally taken up two weeks ago as a great difference of opinion existed on the number of feet to be taken from the sidewalks, Some favored five, others three and many wanted no more than two feet taken from either side of the street. Because of the opposition, the council voted to continue the matter for apother two weeks to secure more data. Some relief of the traffic problem on the street must be had, according to the sentiments expressed by the councilmen, who realize the troubles that result when two or more vehi- | cles and a trolley car occupy the street at the same time, The widening of upper Main street from the railroad bridge to Summer street has been declared a boen to traffic and although opposed at the time, is now highly praised. Such a situation is anticipated for the section of the street between the railroad bridge and the Memorial Boulevard, the highway being dis- cussed for widening, Will Sell Bonds Opening of the bids for the sale of the receptly issued 4 1-4 bonds of the Kifth School district will take place on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Bristol Trust Co. The 90 bonds of $1,000 denomination are payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 and are retirable at the rate of $2,000 the first year and in sums of $4,000 each year there-! after. ‘The'issue was recently au- thorized at a special meeting of the district in order to raise the neces- sary funds for the construction of a new school house, which has been made imperative by the rapid growth of the district. The plans for a building to cost nearly $20,000, which will contain eight rooms. Architect Harold A. Hayden, a graduate of the school, drew up |the plans. The recent sale of the bonds of the third school district netted a hand- some premium to the district as a trifile over a $1 a hundred was gain- ed in the bidding. The sales of these bonds and the city bond issues of the last few years have been un- der the direction of City Treasurer George 8. Beach, who has succeeded in obtaining fine premiums, which he expects to do on Thursday for the fifth district. Sketches Parish History The history of St. Joseph's parish from the days of the old copper mines, when services were first held in homes, was sketched last night by Rev. B. M.

Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds BUT— - Clothes must have MORE than fineness and style to make women more beauti- ful. Clothes must have Taste and Personality! Supposing a dress is made from material costing $15 a vard. Supposing it IS rich- ly tWimmed, and IS a new creation and superbly made —What of it? ~1f the average woman or a miss tries on that dress and it does NOT become her, should she buy it? Today America is flooded with -all Rinds of stylists, Some take a European Crea- tion and copy it to a “T”; but it is like the egg one scientist made — it looked like an egg, but there was no taste to it. Other stylists improve on European Creations, and adapt them to meet the re- quirements of the smartly dressed American woman, THOSE ARE THE KIND OF STYLES WE HANDLE, AND NOTHING ELSE!
