A. R. Elects Miss Sav- age As Regent—Briefs. Aroused by another burglary, the third in Kensington within the past two months, store owners and resi- dents of that district have reached a high pitch of excitement in con- nestion with demands for night pro- tection. The latest burglary to be report- ed is the breaking into of the Tri- angle Lunch room, operated by George Hall of this towns, last night. The marauders obtained several car- tons of cigarettes, boxes of cigars and about $15 in cash, Which was cigar money left in the lunch room overnight. The cash register, which had been emptied when the owner left for home that evening, was found open. The burglars over- loooked about $5 in change which was kept in a china cup under the counter. The total loss is estimated at approximately $25. Entrance was galned through forcing the front door which faces on Farmington avenue, the main highway, which is traversed con- siderably throughout the night. The robbery is thought to have occurred between the hours of 1 and 5 o'clock this morning. The owner of the lunch room states that he belleved that the rob- bery was accomplished by young- sters, their inefficient manipulations in forcing the door pointing towards inexperience in house breaking. Others advance the theory that the robbers were the same who recently broke into the establishments op- erated by Charles Anderson and Joseph Pedelli in Kensington. Headed by H. A, Suprenant, Ken- sington druggist whose store suf- fered from burglars last fall, Ken- sington merchants this morning formed to present to town officlals their demands for night police pro- tection. The business men are unanimous in their support of the movement and action {s promised within the near future. The point out that although the fire protection campaign has been given full sup- port by town officials, their much reeded and urgent requests for con- tderation along the lines of police fotection have met with no re- Sjonse. When asked if their appeal to the offclals would include requests for praection for the other two dis- trics, leaders of the new move stated that while as yet definite plans werelacking, the chief regard of the Kensligton merchants would be for the pratection of Kensington. They claim that at present the town as a whole and Kensington -especially is at the mercy of criminals who chdese 'this place for an easy haul. Only once have they failed in their attemp's to loot local stores, they point out, and that occasion de- pended en a home made burglar alarm to trighten them away. It is thought that a meeting of the business men will take place ®oon and that a petition to the town officials will ba presented before the Men’s Shop—Street Floor Saturday Only MEN’S UNION SUITS Cross bar nainsook, with elastic back insertion, in all sizes, special 59(: Each coming of summer.

The New Britain officers held the occupants until the arrival of the lo- cal officer when the quartet was taken to the New Britain police sta- tlon where they will await trial be- fore Judge George\G.

A new/ to the townspeople their plan for the installation of fire - fighting equipment in the town of Beriin. The Legion should be commended for what they have done in secur- ' ing general information on this sub- ject and ¥ understand, will not force the {ssue with a town meeting if there is any general objection to it. “As to the wisdom of adopting the plan there is a question. At present I do not believe the town has reached that stage ot develop- ment where it requires a fire de- partment of its own. Situated as we e on the outskirts of New Britain, town has been very fortunaf for the past ten years in having the very efficlent service of the New Britain fire department which is rated in efficlency as second in the | United States among cities of its size, for the nominal cost of a thou- sand dollars & year. “The town has been given the benefit of a trained, organized tire company which has worked with precision under the direction of Chief Noble. Should the town have & fire departmen it would of a necessity be a volunteer department ‘with possibly one full time man to | drive the apparatus to the fire, experienced men to put the equi; ment into operation until the call men arrived, it they did arrive. covered until it has gain con- slderable headway and a few min- utes lost might mean the destruction ot the bullding. Eight minutes will bring the New Britain department to Kensington and twelve minutes to Berlin street, the watered sec- tion of the town. “A volunteer company eould not | begin to equal this service. As tax- payers we would like to get lower fire insurance rates as shown by the Leglon committee report, but the saving on insyrancs would soon be eaten up by the increased taxes re- sulting from increased mantenance costs from year to year. The insur- ance commission {8 working for the insurance companles first, last and all the time and we ha¥e no guarantes that they will not in- creass the rates again or demand additional equipment to safeguard their interests at the expense of the town. The New Britain fire depart- ment {s a known quantity; let us improve the call arrangement and stick to the known quantity. “A TAXPAYER.” East Berlin Items Mr. and Mrs. Charles F.

Ryder last night bound the local reaitor over to the superior court under bonds of $1,- 000, Skinner was charged with driv- ing while under theinfluence of li- quor, and since he had previously been found guilty on the same count a week before, a conviction for sec- ond offense was asked by Prosecutor Charles F. Conlon. This is beyond the jurisdiction of the local justice courts. Skinner, who was represented by Spellacy, Hartford, sought to waive examina- tion, but Prosecutor Conlon put on his witnesses, Constables E. W. Fur- {rey and William Buys. They told {the circumstances of the arrest and |swore that the prisoner had been | under the influence of liquor when they took him into custody. His case will come up at the superior court term which opens the first Tuesday of June.

The complaint was made by David Apel- baum of New Britaln, who said he had gone to Koperzinski's house and tried to collect a bill but that the man had tried to beat him up. Koperzinski, who has been in court several times before to answer vari- ous charges which included storing liquor, asked for a postponement until tonight, and this was granted.

Vance, reputedly a “distant” relative of “Dazzy,” struck out eight men and Datoli two, while Dudac whiffed nine; only nine safe hits were made. The bearing-makers got off to a lead in the first frame, but hits by Dumbar and Fransen allowed the Spring-Casters to tie things in the next inning.
