Town officials are anxious that the attention of the state highway de- partment be called soon to the nced { of reconditioning of the back road to New Britain, from Upson's cor- ner to Avery's corner. This highway, although owned by the town, is sub- | ject to state and in that the road wi ill be ‘used to relieve traffic on Beach Swamp road during construction ac- tivities on that route. It is possible that the state will begin operations towards the reconditioning of the back road with the beginning of road construction on the main thorough- fare although no notice of such a move has been received by town of- ficials yet. In the meantime, the highway has been receiving extraordinarily heavy traffic to and from New Britain be- cause of the poor condition of the Beach Swamp road. The road, which is only a dirt highway, has suffered considerably under the heavy pound of trucks and private cars and is at | present in a deplorable and almo: impassible condition. Large ruts ex- tend completely across the road and passage through the thoroughfare consists of a series of bumps and jolts which have done damage to more than one unwary machine. In wet weather the road dissolves into a mass of mud which becomes al- most impregnable to heavy traff While it is admitted by local-res dents that the road is not deserving of extensive expensive activities, it generally believed that the question of who will have charge of fixing the road should be answered in the ne: future and one of the two sou of relief should begin operation Suplementary relief should be af- forded the highway to relieve exist- ing conditions and anticipate what is to come. Patching or the laying of 4 top covering would greatly r duce the hazard the road now de- sents, motoris i and would speed up traffic through the town to a great extent, taking the strain of the heaviest traffic from the con- struction area. In case the Beach Swamp road is completely closed. which is more than likely as construction activitics continue to make the road more dif- ficult to passing machines, the bac road would receive all the New Brit- ain traffic. That the town should relieve conditions before the heavy traffic makes operations difficult is pointed out by local residents. The town's road building program touched Hudson street today when the road gang spent the = day in patching the surface of the thor- oughfare. Hudson street has long heexr descrving of attention and Ber- linites are relieved to find the road passible once more. Kensington and Blue Hills are now calling for help, the ‘roads in that vicinity suffering greatly from the recent storms, shoulders being washed away by the rains and roads pitted by streams of water. Town officials are satisfying pleas for relief as fast as thelr fa- cilities permit, according to state- ments from the town fathers, and patience is requested in cases where neglect seems existend Fur Section—One Legion Meeting The monthly meeting of Bolton- Kasica Post 68, American Legion, will be held this evening at 8 o'clock at Legion hall, Kensington. Scveral important business items are sched- uled to come before this session and all members are requested to be present.

Reports of repairs and recon- struction work being done on the Ischools of the town will also be re- i ceived. Landmark Removed Berlin lost another old landmark morning when ex activities about the old clm tree at the corner of Farmington avenue {and Worthington ridge terminated in the razing of the majestic old tree at about 11 o'clock this morning. It i was thought to be well over 100 years old and was a familiar friend to all local residents. It fell to the north-west, making a heavy crash jas it toppled to the ground. Tor many years the tree shaded I berlinites who dropped into the old | post office and remained to talk with | their friends. It saw the advent of the “new-fangled contraption” which | was labelled the automobile. Per- | haps it laughed when it heard some |hardy soul maintain that the noisy, | smelly dingus had come to stay. But the “new-fangled contraption” has proved the old tree's undoing where rain and snow and all the elements thave failed. State highway authori- -ties recently decreed that the tree presented a dangerous hazard to moter ¢raffic and the roadbed was ordered widened and the tree level- led. Excavations were started yester- day about'the base of the splendid elm and this noon the axes and saws of the road gang felled all the splendor that a hundred years of life had given—all in order that the roadster and the sedan, the flivver and the straight eight might pro- ceed with no mishaps.

W. L. Pect Trumbull Electric 7 Businessmen Peck Spring . Standard Steel 091 Darkness ended in stalemate last night the crucial Industrial baseball league game between the Trumbull Electric and Peck Spring teams, the score being 3-3 when Umpire Eddie Goeb called the game. It was the best game of the scason and drew the largest crowd of the year. The failure of either team to gain the verdict left the Temcos in their precarious position in first place, but, although the schedule has now been completed, there remain four postponed games, and last night's tie to be plaved off. Freddy Miller and Dudac, the pre- mier pitchers in the league, hooked up in a hurling duel which was & treat to the spectators. Each per- mitted only six hits, while Dudac struck out 12 batters and Miller whiffed 11. It was a beautiful dem- onstration of pitching on both sides. For four innings neither team was able to do a thing, but both broke loose in the fifth. Backman drew a pass for the Temcos. Freddy Miller got a hit, Cassidy was safe, and Derby laced out a hit, the total damage being three rune. In the Jast half Spielman reached first and Dudac got a hit, both men eventual- ly scoring. The sixth frame passed without further scoring, and the Trumbull management sought to have the game called because of the approaching darkness. Had the game been called then, Trumbull would have won and probably cap- tured the pennant, but Umpire Goeb ruled it was still light enough for another inning. The Temcos could not score in this seventh session, but the Peck Spring batters worked H. McHugh around and tied things up. Then darkness rescended and Goeb stop- ped play. Miller, Derby and Olson starred at bat. The hox score: Trumbull Electric Co. 625 F. Miler, p Cassidy, 1t lRabu‘lL ss G. Miller, 3b . Backman, cf | Bergen, rf .. | | comoonwows © !Arnotd, ef . H.

Yester- day he showed improvement, and it was reported at the institution to- day that he had passed a fairly com- fortable night. Young Tani suffered an attack of bronchitis during June, and it is be- lieved that this had not been fully cured leaving him in a physical con- dition which gave an opportunity for the more serious disease to take hold.

'FORMER ENGINEER IS UNDER ARREST Once Was Trusted Employe of Remington Arms Co. L. J. Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 5 (A John A. Dickerman, former chief cngineer of the Bridgeport plant of the Bridgeport plant of the Rem- ington Arms company, was arrested late yesterday in Madison, Illinois, on complaint of the Remington Arms company ,according to a d patch received today. Dickerman is charged with receiving stolen pro- perty, more than 1,000 blueprints containing valuable trade secrets of the Remington company, stolen from the Bridgeport plant being al- leged to have been turned over to Dickerman. Taken into custody, by a deputy sheriff, Dickerman was arraigned in a justice court and upon waiving ex- amination was held in bonds of K" 000 for appearance before the n session of the grand jury which \HH he held at Edwardsville, Illinois, in October. Dickerman's arrest is an after- math of the recent case involving Charles H. Stegeman, former Rem- ington munitions engineer, who was tried in Bridgeport city court on a charge of embezzlement. Stegeman pleaded guilty to taking blueprints and tracings to the number of more than 1,000 from the Arms company while working there. Later he went to work for the Western Cartridge company, with which concern Dickerman had be- come connected. Stegeman was giv- en a suspended sentence of three months. Some of the stolen prints ‘fmd tracings are alleged to have la- ter heen found in Dickerman’s pos- | session. Col. Louis J. Herrmann, works manager here of the Reming- fon Arms company, confirmed news of Dickerman’s arrest. The German posoffice depart- ment, in addition to carrying mail, serves as a bill colector, banker, and subscription agent for newspapers, magazines and books.

Since he made his an. nouncement Tuesday, the president has had little opportunity to read papers telling the story of his an- nouncement, Yesterday Mr. Coolidge took the entire day for a trip to Deadwoed, where he witnessed the celebration of the frontier days of '76 and was initiated a chief of the Sioux tribe of Indians. While there he was shown an Assoclated Press dispatch relating that Henry Ford had en. dorsed Herbert Hoover for the re- publican nomination and that Ford ° accepted the Tuesday statement as sincere.
