Berin News VANDALS RANSACK RAILROAD STATION East Berlin Depot' Entered and| Interior Wrecked BURGLARS ARE SUSPECTED Two Youths Thought Connected ‘With Local Burglaries Apprehend- ed in New Jersey—Berlin Under- pass Provides Income for Boys. Continuing their depredations burglars broke into the East Berlin railroad station last evening and, falling to find much money, ran- sacked the place. Only $3 in pen- nies rewarded the burglars and evidently enraged by the lack of money, the vandals satisfied them- selves in wrecking the interior of the small place. The ticket case was ripped open and tickets were strewn about as well as office records and other papers. Not a single picce of office equipment escaped their van- dalism. A stock of candy was un- touched although it was in a posi- tion to be taken. The break was discovered morning by Station Agent Robert Stevenson when he opened the of- fice. He got in touch with the New Haven office of the railroad and a check-up on the loss will be made today. The amount of loss could not be determined, he stated, until the ruined tickets were checked up. The thieves evidently had tried to “jimnry** the doors and windows on the railroad side of the building but had been balked in their efforts. They then proceeded to jimmy the| ‘west side window which did not have a screen to protect it as the others had. This is not the first time the station has been entered as several times previously the gum machines had been wrecked and all of the money in them taken. Even the telephone pay station has been a target of former breaks. Only a few days have passed since the burglary at the East Berlin Mill- ing Co. store and the loss of $400 worth of stock and cash. Local po- lice are investigating the burglary but have little to base their inves gations upon, the robbers leaving few clues as to their identity. Youths Apprchénded Word has been received by local police of the apprehension of two boys who were taken into custody by New Jersey police Saturday and who are being held in connection with the several breaks which have taken place in this community. Austin Camina, 15, of Hartford, and Joseph Camalsky. 18, of Wethersfield, are being held pending extradition pa- pers which will pring them to trial in this state. Both are escaped in- mates of the Connecticut School for Boys st Meriden and when found had in their possession several arti- cles which correspond in description to articles stolen from Kensington homes last week. 1t is thought that the arrest of the boys will clear up the mystery of the convict shirts which were found in the woods near the ry ence of . P. Dunham of Kensing- ton. A diamond ring,stolen from a Kensington home, wis found on one of the youths. Officer Frank Brown led the local delegation which in- vestigated the breaks. Underpass Conditions Conditions at the IFarmington ave- nue underpass which takes the highway under the raliroad tracks termed deplorable by Kensington residents, as water in the deepest this ! part of the highway approached four feet today. Innumerable care endcavoring to pass through the flood became stalled and were re- quired to call aid to be pushed from the middle of the pond. | Youngsters proved to be good | business men last cvening, five mak- | ing from $6 to $7 in a short space| of time. The pricefor being pushed | i ‘many motorists paid without flinch- | ing rather than step from their cars into four feet of muddy water. Up- {on finding that cars operated at a careful rate of speed could come through without gelting stalled mid-way, the young business men | posted one of their number on each slde of the underpass, their job be- ing to yell “Step on it if you want to make it!” The unsuspecting motorist, seeing,| the wide expanse of water before him would speed up; hit the middl: fof the pond and stall. Result—$1 for jthe youths. Conditions were little improved | up to noon today. Busses plying be- tween New Dritain and Meriden were detoured around Iour Rod | highway, although a few made the | { vovage through the “pond without misap. It 8 estimated that more| than 100 caré became stalled at the | iplace last evening and this morning. | | Police chose to ignore the situa- | tion, no detour . signs being posted | warning the motorists of conditions under the bridge. A6 the Four Rod highway is little known except to townspeople, motorists found no other choice than to attempt to| imake the trip through the lake.’ A gang of workmen endeavored to pump out the water this morning, | but found that drainage conditions | made it impossible. The footway under the bridge is icompletely covered with water and | pedestrians are required to cross overhead, necessitating a dungerous footway over the tracks. Local town ofticials are investigating conditions | in an effort to secure some form of | permanent relief, but claim that the | condition of the surrounding neizh- | i Porhood makes drainage a weighty ! problem. ‘Tabs Lose to New London a tight game until the seventh inning when a few break gave their opponents the needed | openings, the Kensington Tabs base- ball team lost yesterday afternoon to the KFort Trumbull Stars at New London, 4 to 1. Both teams played excellent ball and the defeat brought with it no ignomony. A return en- gagement is sought in the near fu- ture.

Hold Clambake Members of the Mil(labens(( Gun club held a clambake and social at day afternoon. A large attendance was present despite the inclement weather, Cemetery Appeal Residents who have relatives | have lodged another appeal for at- tention by town officials in a request | that the burying grounds, which is | the oldest in town, may be given the necessary care to be kept in good shape. They report that the grass | has grown high about the graves and hushes and weeds have made the old cemetery an unattractive spot, they claim. The cemetery has received considerable motice since Decoration day when Superintendent of Schools Mies Mary E. Griswold called the place deplorably un- ! kempt and asked town aid for the caring of the graves there. At that time students of the Selden school cut the high grass and weeded the plot to a certain extent in order to hold their annual Decoration Day exercises there. Residents of that section claim that the cemetery has | recelved no attention since that date and ask that an appropriation | | the old burying ground. me Home Party friends of Miss Phyllis Andrul gathered at her home on Langdon Court, Kensington, in & “Welcome Home™ party in honor of her return to this town after a two months’ absence in New York state. The home was prettily decorated | and the program of enfertainment included games, dancing and lunch- eon.

The final report of the eommittec in charge of arrangements for the field day to be held at St. Joseph's ficld, New Britain on Saturday, September 10, will be read. ~ Action will be taken on the possible acceptance of an in- vitation extended the corps to attend the New York state convention to be held next month.

Plainville News INANGES OF TOWN MUCH IMPROVED Kimme| Administration Reduces Debt and Has Balance EATS GREEN PEARS; DIES Three-Year-Old Child Dies From Immature Fruit—Only One Acci- dent and No Damage Over Week- End—Rearrangement ef Grades. The financial condition of the town of Plainville is vastly improved over | what it was a year ago, First Select- man John J. Kimmel revealed today when he compared the state of the town's finances at the end of the fis- cal year, August 15, with that in 1926. One year of his watchfulness over the expenditures has resulted in the town's recovery from a some- what chaotic financial situation, and it is now pretty well on its again, At the conclusion of the fiscal year in 1926 there was $10,300 in the town treasury with outstanding bills of $3,300 against this sum. During September it was necessary to bor- row §8,000, and a much larger amount had to be borrowed to carry the town over until the money from the taxes began to come in in the spring. This year the balance in the treas- ury is $29,000, and there are no out- standing bills other than the current ones. It will not be necessary to borrow any money next month nor until long after then. The bonded indebtedness of the town has been reduced by $5.000. The etorm wa- ter sewer in the east end has been completed within the appropriation. At the town meeting last year it was voted, after a great deal of ar- gument, to borrow $90,000 to carry the town's finances through the fis- cal year until tax payments were Expenses were carefully watched, however, and only $65,000 was borrowed, It is largely on this reorganization of the town's finances and the plac- ing of them on a sound basis that Mr. Kimmel is secking reelection. Dics After Eating Green Pears Henry Fischl, three-year-old son of Mr. and M Cook street, difd yesterday noon of acute indigestion.

Only Accident Farcical The only accident which occurred here yesterday was a farcical one which happened at Blossom's corner under the eye of Constable Ernest Farrar. Two automobiles just barely touched and no damage was done, according to the officer, who was doing traffic duty there, . but the drivers waxed wroth about blame and settlement of “damages, of which Farrar could see none at all. Finally, the driver of one car said he would accept 50 cents for the damage caused by the bending of his spare tire carrier, and this was paid reluctantly. Constable Farrar said that the type of carrier is one which he is engaged in mak- ing daily and that it is purposely bent in manufacture. Constable Thomas Royce con- tinued his patrol duty at the Central Square “dummy” and stopped se jeral cars which failed to pass this ion the right despite the directions painted on the traffic post. He made no arrests.

Suspicious Character Cleared Several inquirfes and complaint were made to Constable Thoma i appearing person who, in rough garb and' with a knapsack and shovel, was wandering about the Farming- ton road section. The constable in- vestigated and found the fellow dig- ing he might be demented, Royce asked him his business, The man said he was on a secret mission and refused to answer, so Royce showed his badge. Then the suspect pro- duced papers which showed he was a Yale student and was employed by the Connecticut Quarries Co. to pros- pect for a certain grade of sand, with instructions to tell no one of his mission.

With the primary election only 23 days away, three names have been presented. The name of Charles R. Anderson as a candidate for re-election to the city council was submitted several days ago by George J. Lacourse, a local contractor, and the name of | Henry B. Wilcox as a candidate for 1 | | i the office of the city clerk by John Donnelly, who last year ran for mayor. Mr. Wilcox is employed in Ilhe office of the Sessions IFoundry Co. Papers nominating George S Beach for city treasurer were filed | Saturday, the petition having been {circulated by City Clerk Thomas B. Steele. Mr. Beach is elected each year without opposition. Frank Dutton, who served on the city council from 1910 to 1924, when he sought the mayor's berth but was defeated, also announced Saturday that he would be a candidate for the council this year. Mr. Dutton as a candidate for the council in prevfous elections, always drew down the argest vote in the city. For this jreason, he is conceded more than an even chance for election thie year. Prior to the granting of a cit charter for Bristol, Mr. Dutton serv- ed as a member of the board of burgesses under the fown govern- ment for 12 years.

Young admitted that he was fool- ing with Miss Greger but denfed that he slapped her. He placed the re- sponsibility for the complaint on {ing to-make trouble and Miss Gregor. These facts were brought out at a court hearing last Saturday, and no additional evidence was presented this morning. The complainant did not wish to press the case against Young and he recelved a suspended sentence, Falls to Stop After Crash The case of Harold White, charg- ed with operating a motor vehicle between him evading responsibility and operating \a motor vehicle without an operator’s license, was continued until tomorrow morning by Judge Joseph M.
