Other bus drivers have route. A Connecticut Co. bus which ! was preceding Johnson, struck a cat and stopped suddenly. Johnson applied his brakes but could not es- cape hitting the car immediately in front of him, damaging the machine slightly. Investigation by the local constable proved that the man was incapable of handling his machine and he was arrested, being released later under bonds of $300. The severe penalty is thought to be the first of a summer campaign against drunken driving which was ‘hinted earlier in the year. William Anderson, colored, of East ‘Berlin, was fined $10 and costs and given a 30 day suspended jail sen- tence on charges of assault. Ander- son was arrested Monday evening by ‘Officers John P. Lewis, and George XKanupka and was taken to the New Britain lockup to await trial. He was involved in a brawl which .took place in East Berlin on Saturday evening. July 2, and escaped arrest at that time, necessitating a visit to his home by the two local constables. Costs levied by Judge Mildrum amounted to $17.68. Abraham Lapuk of 1081 Albany avenue, Hartford, was charged with operating an automobile without proper brakes. He was arrested Sun- day evening by Officer John Lewis when he was unable to stop his car until he ditched the machine in or- der to prevent hitting other cars on the highway. Judge Mildrum fined him $25 and costs, amounting to $39.21. Local Pastor's Brother Dies Francls E. Brennan, brother of Rev. John C. Brennan, pastor of St. Paul’s church, Kensington, died this morning at his home, 65 Church street, New Rochelle, N. Y. He is survived by his widow; a son, John; a daughter, Catherine; another brother, Joseph Brennan of Green- wich, and a sister, Mrs. C. E. Wat- kins, who resides with Rev, Father Brennan. 3 Funeral services will be conducted Friday morning at 10 o'clock at the church of the Blessed Sacrament at New Rochelle.

Outdoor Meeting Successful The executive committee of the Connecticut board of the Interna- tional Sunshine society held its sum- mer meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. John Pinches of Worthington Ridge. The members voted to discontinue the state presl- SEAL | '$159.50 $165.00, dents’ association and voted to form a new organization to be known as the Sunshine Home association. Be- tween 30 and 40 members®joined at the meeting and it is intended that 100 charter members will be recelv- =d. A basket lunch was served on the lawn at noon. About 50 mem- bers were in attendance. Officers will be elected at the next meeting in September. Bus Driver Criticized Local residents are nearly unan- imous in their criticism of a driver of one of the vehicles which ply be- tween Hudson street and New Bri- tain during the morning hours. While it is understood that the ex- cavating activities create a condi- tion approaching a nightmare to the operators of the heavy busses, they claim that the particular driver, who is a new-comer to local trans- portation circles, is worthy of some official curbing before a catastrophe oceurs. Particularly are the bus passen- gers aroused over the man's driving while traversing the detour through South street. Other bus drivers are careful and continue at a slow pace through the torn up sector but the driver in question does not slacken speed neither does he miss bumps. From the New Rriain city line until clear ground is reached once more, passengers claim they are victims of contestéd football Running past patrons who are another of the blue-coated driver's temper, which is joined their words with those of lo- cal residents in claiming that the speed with which the bus driver in question turns certain corners which are under construction, 18 distinctly dangerous. One other driver today stated that it was mere- ly a matter of time before an acci- dent occurs at the Stanley street- South street intersection. Tabs to Be Hots The St. Paul Tabs baseball team will be hosts on Saturday afternoon to the Watertown baseball team in a regular scheduled Western Con- necticut league game. The game will be played at Percival field and, ac- cording to statistics of the two squads, should be evenly contested. Fields and McCormick will handle the spheres for the locals. Install Road Signs New highway signs have been in- stalled by the state higway depart- ment at the intersection of Farm- ington avenue and ‘Worthington Ridge to prevent confusion at the intersection. The new highway, _|t is thought, would present an inviting route for the through traffic motor- ist and the state department's latest move is to prevent motorists from leaving from the main route. Quit Claim Deed Still Absent Town Clerk Arthur L. ‘Woodruff today reported that the quit claim deed from Jordan & Sellick, own- ers of the Treasure Fields proper- y, had not yet been received. The }100(‘1 when last heard from, was in the hands of Judge Bernard F. Gaff- ney. It is not known whether the deed has been sent to- the owners of the property. To Withdraw From League The Inter-Church Indoor Baseball league will hold a meeting of its .of- ficials tomorrow evening at the New Britain Y. M. C. A. at which session it is expected that the Kensington Congregational church team will pe- tition for leave to withdraw from the league. No opposition is thought forthcoming to the request of the local soft ball artists. Coach Lewls A. Griffith, who handled the team through the early part of the season, has voiced his [ CARACUL COATS $315.00, $325.00 to $175.00, $195.00, practicing. He put the soft ball team’s worth as less than that of the other hard ball squads and Withdrew the team in order that other local teams might not suffer from the confusion which would re- sult. He is sanctioned in this move by Rev. Vernon L. Phillips of the Kensington Congregational who coaches the hard ball team of the church. At the Camp Grounds The register of the Plainville Camp Grounds shows the following local residents ag staying at the camp: Mr. and Mrs. J. Record, Miss R: Norton of Kensington, Miss Bet- ty Pratt, Mrs. A. A. Barnes, Miss Winifred Barnés, Miss Mabel Barnes, Mrs. Ida Morse, Mrs. R. H. Morse, Roy Morse and Robert Morse, all of East Berlin. Survey of Tax Conditions A survey of Berlin tax conditions with particular reference to the effects of the recent re-valuation has been made by Willlam H. Blodgett, state tax commissioner, showing the distribution of the 68.56 per cent increase In the town's grand list. A marked shifting of the tax bur- den from personal property to real. estate is shown. The percentage af increase to the former share in real estate tax burden was 107.10 per cent while tangible property’s per- centage of increased burden to the former share was 70.30. In several other instances there hag been a shifting of the tax bur- den from one group to another, The percentage of the new to the old tax burden for each is: Home owner, 124.86; farmer, qn lands other than his home, 48.20; manufacturer, 62.84; other business properties, 133.22. That the tax on small homes was found to be out of proportion is in- dicated by éhe fact that this group was increased only by 49.69, while homes as a whole were given a 133.85 increase. East Berlin Items The Community club will meet this evening at 8 o'clock in Com- munity hall. Last week's meeting was postponed. It is expected that the committee in charge of the gas service will make a report. Many of those who did not sign the peti- tion for gas have now signified their intention of having it installed. It is hoped that the report from the Mer- iden office will be given so that work on installation may begin immedi- ately., The Knights of Pythias and the Pythian Sisters enjoyed a social time last evening in their rooms at Com- munity hall.

The score was 4-1, the Bearing Makers proving surprising- ly hard for the Spring team. The Spring Casters are now only half a game away from first place, and, no matter which team wins the Temco-Busi- nessmen encounter on Thursday night the Whiting street nine will g0 into second position. Dudac, the lanky left-hander of the winners, pitched a steady game. He was scored on in the first inning but was invincible thereafter. Nick Tolll went well for the losers and held the Peck Spring sluggers down to & minimum number of hits. The hardest blow of the game was Mat- teo’s home run, which came with the basés empty.

Phillips, former warden of the Dodge county prison camp, was in Bibb county jail here today charged with being an accessory after jthe fact in conection with the Kkill- ing of W. T. Andrews and the shoot- ing of his wife early Sunday by two Negroes near Milan, Ga. Phillips was arrested late vester- day and placed in jail at McRae, but sentiment became so 8trong against the man that he was remov- | ed to Macon for safety. In the Bibb county jail also are the two Ne- groes charged with the crime and a third who was arrested with them. Like Phillips they first were jailed McRae but were removed to Macon. Officers who arrested Phillips stated that the charge against him i grew out of the discovery that the pistol used by the Negro, Wilbur Galloway, in killing Mr. Andrews as the property of Phillips. Also, the officers allege, Galloway used Phillips’ razor to shave off his mus- tache following the crime. Phillips was a supervisor of some highway construction near Milan, vecently employed Galloway as & iaborer. The arresting officers gave no supposed reason far the connec- tion of Phillips with the attack upon Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, young couple of Alamo, who were en route to Perry, Fla., where Mrs, Andrews’ father was ll. Mr. Andrews was shot to death by one of two Negroes to whom he was giving a lift up the road. His { wife was assaulted and shot through the mouth. Three Negroes, Willbur Galloway, William Rourtree and Mose Banks, were arrested by a posse near the scene soon afterward. Rountree confessed Monday in-jail and said Galloway did the killing. Banks, he said, had no connection with the crime. Mrs. Andrews, who is but 15 years old, was still in an Eastman, Ga., hospital. Her father came from Perry to be with her. A special session of the Dodge county superior court is planned for trial of the Negroes and Phil- lips. Two Negro women have been arersted on charges of suspicion as the result of disappearance of a valise in the Andrews automobile the night of the murder. ROBBED ALL RIGRT New Haven Victim's But Loss Amounted to only Two Heads of Cabbage. New Haven, Conn., July 27.—(@— A squad of detectives, several police- men from headquarters and every man covering a beat in the Franklin street section was rushed to number 211 on that street last night when an xcited man shouting “I've been bbed, I've been robbed” called the second precinct on the telephone and after giving his name and address hung up the receiver. Louls Morgillo, the complainant had been robbed. There was no doubt about that, for he showed the dozen or more officers the vacant spot where the two heads of cab- bage which were stolen had been reposing on his vegetable wagon. A large crowd which had followed the police patrol and running officers to the scene gaped for a moment in as- tonishment and then a laugh went up in which even the disgruntled policemen joined.

Dr. Robbins stated also that Wil- liam Lugg, one of the persons bit- ten by the mad dog, had refused to 1ake the pasteur treatment, although he had been requested to do so both by the health department and his own physician. The following state- | ment was issued by Dr. Robbins in this connection: “To the Public of Bristol, Greeting: “Your health board requests space enough to make a statement as to | the rabies in Bristol. “Of 14 people bitten by the dog, 13 are taking the pasteur treatment: William Lugg, who was bitten and | whose family owned the dog that caused the trouble, positively refus- ed the treatment, after we have of- fered to furnish his treatment free, ‘which the state of Connecticut does by all. “His family physician has been| to the family and urged them in every way but they remain obdurate. “The percentage of people, who acquire the disease after being bit- ten is large.

FURTHER DISPUTE OVER TAX SPLITS Nation's Business Tells of Party Dillerences Washington, July 27 (UP)—A further democratic-republican split over how federal taxes should be cut this winter was reported today in Nation’s Business, giving views of Chalrman Green, Iowa, of the house ways and means committee, and Rep. Garner, Texas, minority tax leader. Garner in the magazine article said his higher estimates of treasury surpluses, made to base tax reduc- tions on, have been more accurate than the treasury’s own conservative figures. Green favors reducing the 131 per cent corporation income tax, but does not make a definite proposal. He also proposes reduction of sur- taxes on incomes of less than $500,- 000, and retention of the present 20 per cent maximum surtax and of the federal inheritance tax. Garner, who will lead the battle agatnst the administration bill which will: be under Green's direction, when house takes up question ear- ly this fall, said he favored a 10 per cent corporation tax, and repeal of the $85,000.000 annual automo- bile tax, the wartime exclse taxes, and the admission taxes. “The contest will come,” Garner predicted, “between a repeal of the estate tax and a reduction of the in- dividual income tax. The amount annually collected under the estate tax probably will shrink to about $45,000,000. From any point of view I maintain that amount taken off the income tax would be vastly better for business and the country at large than the abolition of thc estate tax.” TWO ARE DROWNED Burlington, Vt., July 27 (#—Ethel Johnson, 9, and Charlotte Clarke, 9, were drowned while bathing in the Winooski River at Williston late yesterday.
