Berlin News CAR DRIVES OFF LEAVING VICTIN Hurtlord Man in Hospital, Driver Is Sought FOUR HOLIDAY, “MISHAPS - —— Judde B, F. Gafiney Favored By Bath Parties to Continue In Pro- bate Court, While Arthur Wood- ruff Wins Endorsement. Four persons were injured and four automobiles were damaged in accidents on the Berlin turnpike during the weeck-end. The first in- Jured, Adam Cogul of 1351 Park street, Hartford, was found lying on the Meriden-Beriin road the victim of a hit-and-run driver; in the sec- ond mishap, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bhilvley of Agawam, Mass, and Charles Korgyle of New Britain were hurt; and the third accident involved automobile driven by Thomas O'Bricn of 326 Sigourney street and Louis Nataro of Main street, Kensington. In the last nam- ed case the drivers were uninjured but the cars were badly damaged. ‘When Christ Powers, owner of the Bilver Lake filling station was go- ing to his home after he had closed his business last night he discovered the body of Cogul on the road. He was taken to the hospital at about 11:45 o'clock. His injuries were not serious, it was said at the hospital, he having suffered lacerations of the face and body. He was confined to the hospital over night. It was said that he was the victim of a hit-and-run driver. While attempting to pass a truck on the Berlin turnpike yesterday afternoon, the automobile operated by Thomas O'Brien crashed into a truck driven by Louis Notaro which was coming in the opposite direc- tion. O’Brien admitted that his car was not operating properly when the accident occurred. Struck by an automobile driven by Andrew Dodwell of New Britain, Joseph Shilley suffered several broken ribs, his wife received lac- erations and bruises and suffered a shock, and Mrs. Korgyle received only slight injuries. All three were taken to the New Britain General hospital, but Korgyle was allowed to g0 to his home after he received treatment. Shilley attempted to turn off to an inn and when he found he could rot made it, he turned back on the highway in the path of the Dodwell machine which was following him. The accident occurred on the Ber- lin-Hartford road. The heavy traffic of Labor Day was accountable for many close ac- cidents on the turnpike, but none of them were of a serious nature, was learned today. Richard J. Hauzwell of 83 Glen avenue, Port Chester, N. Y., was ar- rested for reckless driving by Con- stable Brown when he drove his car info an automobile driven by Ed- ward Warner of 48 Talcott street, New Britain. The accident occur- red on Beech 8wamp road. Joseph 8hionczay of Hamden, was arrested by Constable Brown for driving under the influence of liquor in Berlin last night, Beckley M Arrested Frank McArthur of Beckley was arrested yesterday by Constable rown for assaulting his wife, His case will be tried in court tonight. Accident On Upper Turnpike Bix people were injured when an autorhobile operated by William Patterson, 47, of East Williston, L. it} 1, collided with a car driven by Ber- nard C. Watson, 27, of 590 Western avenue, Lynn, Maes, on the Berlin turnpike yesterday morning. Those injured were Mrs. Watson, Mrs, Wilhelmina Robertson of Min- eola, L. I, Mr. and Mrs. Scott Pat- terson of East Williston, L. 1., and the ‘two drivers, State Policeman J, P. Butler took the party to Hart- ford hospital where their injuries were treated. To Endorse Judge Gaffney Although scveral contests are ex- pected in the coming town, state and national elections, there are at least two men who will be given the en- dorsemont of both the republican and democratic parties. They are Judge Bernard F. Gaffney, for pro- bate court in Berlin and New Brit- ain, gnd Arthur L. Woodruff, town clerk in Berlin for many years. Judge Gaffney has been given the endorsement of both parties for 23 of the 24 years he has been a judge of probate. In the first year 1904 he ran on the democratic ticket against the late Judge George W. Klett, a republican, and was victorl- ous. Since that time he has been unopposed for the place. He will undoubtedly be given the endorse- ment of the republicans in New Britain, party leaders in that city have declared. Mr. Woodruff has won his way in- to the affection of members of both parties and a rival has never been mentioned for his place, Teaching Staff Announced Of the 33 new teachers who are to take classes in the school of the Berlin district, six are new.

P. CAUCUS MONDAY To Be In School Auditorfum — 350 Ask to He Made Voters — All- Plainvilles Lose In 13th—Baptist Notes—Farr Ellminated, A liquor raid upon the Kent street home of Mrs. S8amuel Melesko was perhaps the high spot in a feverish holiday period for the local police, the house yielding two containers of alcohol and the woman being book- cd for keeping liquor with intent to sell. Constables E. W. Furrey, E. W. Farrar, and Clesson H. S8aunders invaded the Melesko home Sunday night on a warrant issued by Jus- tice Willlam Cunningham, who had recelved many complaints regarding the reputatién of the place A thorough search of the premises was made, and finally the officers were rewarded for their paips by the discovery of a jug and cap buried umder a qnahtily of clothing in a trunk in a bedroom, Both contain- ers were about half full, and the total haul was about three and a half gallons of alcohcl, Mrs. Me- lesko will be haled into court short- ly. 2 Constable Furfey said today that no beer or wine has been found in recent raids in Plainville, the raw alcohol being all that is discovered. This 18 “cut” by dilution with water and sold almost “as s the only attempt at subtlety being the addi- tion of coloring matter in rare cases. Drunken Driver In Trouble Liquor also caused the downfall of Irank Lubsasik of 288 North street, New Britain. Lubsasik, how- ever, had the intoxicant inside him- self instead of in a trunk, and he was arrested for driving an automo- bile while “under the influence.” Constable George Schubert re- ceived a tclephone call from a Mr. Edwards of| Lazy Lane Saturday 0 o'clock, the South- ington man warning that a drunken driver was on his way to Plainville and was driving a zig-zag cours which endangered traffic. while afterwards a New York car stopped at the center and the driver informed Schubert that the intoxi- cated man had driven off the road at Hart's corner. Schubert inves- tigated and found Constable Cles- son H. Saunders on the scene be- tore him. Lubsasik will be in court at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow evening. Fined For Theft John Kajer of New Britain was caught stealing apples on the North ‘Washington street farm of the Lip- pia brothers Saturday afternoon, hauled down from the tree where he was trapped, and pummelled into subjection after a brief scrap. Con- stable E. W. Furrey was summond and found Kajer, meek enough by then, sitting with his captors on the porch of the Lippia home. He had a basket about half full of apples. Kajer was tried by Justice Edward | P. Prior almost immediately and was fined $15 and costs when found guil- ty of theft. Justice William Cun- ningham acted as prosecutor.

The reason for the increased interest is the fact that bids for the disposal of the city hall will be opened, provided any are received. Bids for city property at the corner of Church and School streets, the old town hall on Main street and the old dumping ground on King road will algv be opened. While it is understood that no bid under $225,000 will be favorably considered for the city hall, it is not believed that any prospective pur- chaser will offer such an amount. A few weeks ago, in discussing the matter with the Herald representa- tive, a member of the city council stated that he had received one bid for $205,000, The name of the bid- der was not divulged. Several prominent business men stated that they would be interested in the prop- erty, provided that the price was reasonable. What they considered a reasonable figure, they did not mention. It is understood that a petition will be presented at tonight's meet- ing asked that the old dumping grounds on King road be made over by the city into an athletic field. The expense involved in carrying out | this suggestion, however, many be- licve would be too great to warrant such a step. Bids for the city's coal require- ments will be opened at tonight's meeting and the contract awarded. |A number of dealers, €ue to the rigid requirements of the contract, have declined to submit bids and it is improbable that more than one or [two bids will be available this evey |ning. Heavily Fined Chester Bombard, 0, charged with operating an automobile with- | out a driver'’s license, was fined $50 and costs in the city court today by Judge William J. Malone. Bombard, according to the testi- mony of Officer §trup, was involved | in a slight accident on Middle street {Sunday night. In spite of the fact | that he was operating without a | driver’s license, he refused to make any attempt to settle the matter civilly and his arrest followed. He |pleaded guilty to the charge. in-| | forming the court that it was his in- | |tention 1o get a license today. Refused To Pay Taxi Fare Refusal on the part of Cyprian zowski last Saturday afternoon to pay a taxi fare of $3 resulted in his arrest and a fine of $10 and costs in police court this morning. Guzowski engaged John Bolee, lo- jcal taxi owner. to drive him to an ddress on Middle street shortly fter noon Saturday. While at his friend’s house. Guzowski imbided rather freely and took back a bot- |tle of liquor. On the way to this |city he took several drinks and upon arrival in Bristol, he refused to pay for his ride. As a result, he was turned over to the police and later released under a bond of $25, which |he himself furnished. He agreed in |court this morning to pay the amount of the taxi fare. Quiet Week End The past week-end proved the quietest enjoyed by the local police department in some tim?¥. On Sun- not one complaint was received at headquarters and but three ar- |rests were made over the week-end {and holiday. Only two cases were brought before the court this | morning. The heavy rain on Monday caused |a cancellation of all sports in the city. The baseball game between the |New Departure team and the Wind- |sor Locks nine, scheduled for the {morning at Muzzy Fleld, was can- |celled and will probably not be | played.

An automebile, the owmership of which had not been ascertained thw norning, was wrecked last evening on Terryville road near the Shevel Shop Hill. A repert of the accidont was made to police headquarters late last night and Officer y Lam- bert was dispatched te the scene by Acting Captain Joseph Strup. Upen arrival, the officer found &' ear over the embankment but none of the ac- cupants in sight. Jt waa later found that the four passengers, all young men, had walked into Terryville after abandoning the eer. A check of the registration was being made this morning by the po lice and it is possible (hat one or niore arrests may result. National Anthems Campaign Next Monday, September 10, the drive will begin to secure signatures to petitions to congress to pass (i) bill_known as H. J. 215, declaring the '“Star Spangled Banuer” the of- ficial national anthem of the Unitcd States. The drive locally will b, known as the “Star Spangled Ban. week, sponsored by Harold F. LEmmett Post, Veterans of Fereign {Wars and aided by a eecopersting committee from nearly all the frater- nal and patriotic organizations of the city, each of which will appoint its own solicitors for signatures to the petitions. As each organisation will be credited with the number of signers they secure, there will un- doubtedly be very keen rivalry among the organizations to win the honors of securing the largest num- ber and thus give evidence of will- ingness to do a patriotic service te their country by some actual work. Harold F. Emmett Post has taken up this work in cooperation with the national Americanization eommittes of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which is conducting & campaign all over the country under the direc- tion of Captain Walter L Joyce, na- tional director. Captain Joycs i one of the most prominent Ameri- canization workers in the country and is a descendant of John Alden. The Emmett Post committee con- sists of Thomas P. Cahill, chairman; George R, Stanwood, Foster Snyde James Moody, Fred Massicote. A meeting of the members of the post will be held on Thursday evening of [this week, at which time each mem- ber will be asked to solicit signa- tures. During the campaign, the elub rooms of Palos Council, Knights of Columbus, will be used head- quarters for the committee. 100 Arrests in August 100 arrests were made by the po- lice department during the menth of August, according to the report of Chief Ernest T.
