Berlin News REPORT OF PLANE CRASH UNFOUNDED Aviation Oficials Fal to Locate Any Plané in Distress LEGION AUXIL__ILRY ELECTS Bible Class:Holds Its First Meeting Attends Tabs — Large Crowd Whist Party—Columbus Day Ob- served—Visiting Nurse Meeting, Excitment reigned in Kensington last evening for a short time follow- ing two reports to the Meriden po- lice department that a plane had been seen early in the evening flying over the town, apparently in & help- less condition, and later was seen to plunge into the wooded section east of Kensington. Both reports were made to the Meriden police by tele- phone. The police notified Captain Clar- ence M. Knox, state aviation com- misaloner, and Chief Aviation In- spector George Pranaitis, but they failed to locate any plane in dis- tress or any that made a forced landing in this section, Cgptain Knox said that he did not think that there was any ground for the re- port., Evidently a plane flew low over the woods and when it disap- peared from. the.sight of the two persons who called the police, they became excited and took it for granted that the plane had crashed to the ground.

Schubert and six atate officers invested the Drzewicki home and, according to testimony given in .court this morning, tound three barrels of mash in a shed and two stills with colls in the cel- lar, The barrels contained about 150 gallons of grain mash, while Mrs. Drzewicki handed Officer Cy- rus Chamberlin a jug of alcohol. This last and & sample of the mash were introduced as evidence by Grand Juror Charles F, Conlon, Constable Schubert testified that the raid had been made upon com- plaint of a man who asked why a few bootleggers had been allowed to escape when 850 many had been raided during the past week. He and Officer Chamberlin described the raid and the findings they had made. Drzewicki, who 1is crippled through the lows of his right arm, told the court, with the frequent use of his son as interpreter, that only one barrel contained grain mash and that he was making that for his own use. The other berrels held grape mash, he said, and had becn mistaken by the officers for the more potent stuff. He denied hav- ing sold a drop of liquor and said one still waa broken, Schubert took the stand again and said both stills appeared to have been used recently, adding that |the complainant against Drzewicki had admitted buying liquor from Mrs, Drzewicki said that the DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1928, election expenses.

The names of several prominent business men have been prominent- ly mentioned on the strects during the past few days and all would make formidable candidates, in the opinion of the democratic town com- mittee. Heading the list is Wallace B. Crumb of Forestville, father of Mayor W. Raymond Crumb. He scerved one term in the legislature several years ago and has been an ardent Jeffersonian all his life. At present he is a member of the board of relief. His son, the present mayor, is prominent in republican circles in the city, The names of William L. Barrett, School street manufacturer; Rolfe E. Rowe, local newspaperman; Councilman Wilham A, Hayes, Dr. M. F. Claftey and Wallace H. Miller, vditor of the Bristol Press, have been suggested on numerous occa- sions, In addition to the nomination of two representatives, six justices of | the peace, four registrars of voters, two selectmen, and three constables will be nominated to complete the local ticket. The nomination of Judge 8. Russell Mink, republican, as judge of probate, will be endors- |cd by the democrats tonight. Smith-Robinson Club Up to the present time three hun- dred have been enrolled in the Smith-Robinson club, according to an announcement made this morn- ing by Joseph F. Dutton, chairman of the democratic town committee. Numerous applications for member- ship are being received daily and it is the alm of the club officials to enroll every democrat in the city as {well as a number of republicans and !independents. At an organization meeting held last evening, Mrs. George Carlson was elected presi- | dent, ‘Willlam Barry vice presi- dent, Mrs, Thomas Cronin, secretary, |and Miss Francis Heffernan, treas- surer. May Set Up Voting Machine A request that a voting machine "llc set up In the hallway of the city hall during the period that voters are being made, was submitted to Mayor W. Raymond Crumb yester- day by Chairman Joseph F. Dutton. 8uch an arrangement, it is believed, would assist materially in educating new voters in the use of the ma- chine and would also tend to speed up voting on election day. Tomorrow, between the hours of 9 a. m. and 8 p. m., the selectmen and town clerk will be in session for the first time this year to make new voters. Assisting them will be mem- republican and of whom have volunteered the ser- vice of their automobiles to carry the prospective voters to and from the city hall. While 3,471 appifcations of voters to be made are now in the hands of Town Clerk Thomas B. Steele, it is believed that this number will be reduced to some extent by duplica- tions, several of which have already been discovered. Propose School Addition The advisability of erecting an eight-room addition to the John J. Jennings school on Burlington av- enue will be considered by the vot- ers at a speclal meeting which will | be held in the school house at §/ o'clock Friday evening, October 19. The need of additional facilities has been recognized for the past two vears. Because of lack of room it has been necessary to send a num- ber of children residing in the vi- cinity of the school to the Federal Hill school. This action has result- | ed in the overcrowding of pupils in the latter building and with the large increase in enrollment in both schools, members of the school committee realize that the only solu- tion is to provide sufficient room at | the Burlington avenue school to care for children living in that neighbor- hood. During the past three years sev- cral large tracts have been de- veloped in the northern and north- western sections of the city by local & new achool be erected op Farme ington avenue in the vicinity of Jerome avenue, but this iden has 5 now apparently been discarded. In the event it is decided te erect the proposed addition to the Jen- nings school, it is probable that the work will be started within the next month or two. Nobie C. Noble C. 8parks, 81, of 38 Sher- man street, died at his home last evening following several memths’ b- | tiness with infirmities incident to old age.
