Brown Solves Mystery Following an investigation last evening by Constable Frank Brown, the accident which occurred early yesterday morning at the rallroad underpass -in “Kensington which re- mained shrouded ' in mystery throughout the day and occasioned many surniises was thoroughly ex- Pplained. Daylight exposed evidences of the accident yesterday morning, broken glass and large asplotches of blood owing on the abutment at the underpass. It indicated an autom bile had crashed into the east side of the support. It was believed that two automobiles had been involved in the accident because of the large quantity of shattered glass. Investigating last evening, Con. stable Brown discovered that an autemobile driven by Bennie Telew- i of 104 Broad street, New Brit- ain, was the only one in the accle dent. According to information given the constable, Telewski had been driving towards New Britain when he lost control of his car and ran into the abutment on the left hand side of the road.” His scalp was gashed and he was taken to the New Britain General hospital by a taxi which passed the scene of the accl- dent shortly after the crash. At the hospital however, Telewaki asked to be attended by his own physician d no record was made of the case. This added to the mystery. o charges wil Ibe made against Telowski, ~according to Constable Brown, Lyccam Course Near End The last stereopticon lecture of the course will be given at the Kensing- ton Methodist church this evening at 8 o'clock.

Fpidemic of Disease .’ An epidemic of disease has broken out among the pheasantg in this part of the state, it was stated yesterday by the state board of fisheries and game. No diagnosis of this disease hag yet been made but it s believed by Buperintendent John W. Titcomb that it will dolbtless be found to be one common to fowl and of no great danger. More than 17,000 pheasants have been put out by the state this year and the hunting season for this bird has been anticipated as the hest the state has seen for years. Superin- tendent Titcomb urges anyone find. ing & . dead pheasant, apparently from disease, to sand the bird imme- diately to the offices of the state board in Hartford so that immediate steps may be taken toward a diag- nosis of the disease. Fresh speci- m only will be of use.

Complainta that the parking rules are being laxly enforced were made last night at the meeting of, the Plainville Chamber of Commerce, and First Selectman James Simpson reported that simllar complaints had been made to him, When these regulations, which forbid parking within certain districts about Cen- tral square, were adopted a year ||ag0. they were fairly well observed for a short while, but now it is re- ported that they are being violated repeatedly. The best means of solving the problem is thought to be the cre- ation of a town court, it was said last night. Under the present sys- tem a man arrested for breaking ‘the restrictions would have to pay high costs it hauled into a justice court, and it is thought these would be eliminated in & town court, The officials have been loathe to press charges against violators because of thess impending high costs, which would completely dwarf the fine and make the penalty out of pro- portion to the offense, To Help Set Out Trees The chamber also decided to of- fer its help to property owners who wish to set out trees this fall. Many trees, especlally along Whiting and West Main streets, have been de- stroyed in the past ten years by leaky joints in the gas malins, leav- ing bare streets, and the chamber hopes that it can cooperate in bring. ing more shade and beauty to the principal streets of the town by helping to replace these trees or fill other vacancies, The chamber will inform proper- ty owners of their correct veranda and property lines to help in loca- tion of the trees, will communicate with nurseries to find out prices and ather information, and hopes that by securing a group of purchasers it can obtain a better price for amall trees. Property owners who are inter- ested are advised to.call Secretary George Case or F. L, Benzon, chair- man of the sidewalks and sewers committee, The question was recently raised as to what benefits Plainville re- celved from the money collected here annually by the Salvation Army. President A. A. MacLeod of the chamber reported last night the receipt of a letter from Army head- quarters in Boston, saying that all money collected here was spent within this county and that local cases of need would be attended to by Captain Pagington of Bristol if he were notified, October Bullding A total of ¢3 bullding permits were issued by Building Inspector Axel Johnson during October, ac- cording to his report to the select- men todsy. Permits were granted for four new bulldings, four altera- tions and repairs, six garages, seven plumbing jobs, 17 clectrical jobs and five heatipg installations, The new bulldings on which work 1s being started are valued at $23,- 000. The following have recel permits for these: Mrs. Bertha Du- doies, {wo family house of eight rooms on Kent street, $6,000; O. 1. Cooley, flve room bungalow on Ma- dison street, $5,000; Charles Clar- isce, combination store and dwelling on New Britain avenue, $6.000; Em- ilio Santacroce, five room bungalow on Newton avenue, $5,000. Fees totalled $78.50, of which Mr. Johnson turned $19.63 over to the town and retained $58.87 as com- pensation for his services, Dies in Colorado Word has been rcceived here of the death of Rev, Frederick W Hart, pastor of the Baptist church at Berthoud, Col., which occurred on October 27 after a pgralytic TONIGHT ELINOR GLYN'S “MAD HOUR” GIFT NIGHT A Big Show SATURDAY JACK HOLT in “THE WATER HOLE"” ATTS GIRL. stroke en the 25th.

In fact it will be possible to vote for | only the six democratic candidates provided a straight ticket is cast. It would be possitle to vote for seven Justices by geratching the name of | one democratic candidate or eight by scratching the names of two of the party. The doubling of the names on the voting machines has strengthened | the belief of many in the city that the larger machines, which will be in use in the fourth voting district on next Tuesday's election should be re. tained by the city. It has also been suggested that the old type machines POW in use be disposed to some smaller towns in the city and ma. chines of one type pluced in service | in all of the voting districts. ! The doubling of the names of candidates for the justices of the peice will have no bearing on the election outcome in this particular instance, as the nomination is equivalent to election. Democratic Rally “A man with a heart that beats with love for his fellow men,” were the words used by Judge Willlam E. . Thoms of Waterbury in describing Governor Alfred E. Smith, demo- cratic nominee for the presidency, at a rally held last evening in Fire- men's hal, orestville, “It does not make any difference what the platforms of either party say," the speaker continued, “they do not mean a great deal. The elec- tion for that reason shoyld turn upon the character of the man. 8ize them both up, look them over, ealculate their experience and T think every tair minded man will see that Bmith, by his experience, his Integrity and his understanding of the people, s the man they should elect next ‘vues- day. The growth of the institutions of the state of New York show the humanity of the man—A man with a heart that beats with love for his fellow men. It should be a question of pride for all of us to see to what honors a man may rise in this country. Of humble birth, working hard all his life, and to rise to be four times governor of the greatest : state in the union.” In contrast to Smith's service to his state and country, the former ‘Waterbury mayor pointed to Herbert Hoover's life abroad and the fact that he had never voted in this coun. try until he was 46 years old. Judge Thoms ridiculed the state- ments of the republican party that the election / of Governor Bmith would result in the ellmination of the protective tariff. He pointed to the democratic nominee's record as governor of New York to show that | he had always had a vital interest in the working man and the prosperity of the state. “Who is more apt to look out better for us, our neighber, Al Smith, or the man who lives 3,000 miles away? In fact the republican nominees for president and vice president both reside west of the Mississippl.” The wet and dry argument was also touched on by the speaker. “If anyone believes and really thinks that prohibition, as we know it in Connecticut, s a success them he should vote for Herbert Hoover, who has termed it a noble experiment. But when we know of the conditions existing and the corruption so pre- valent, are we satisfled to permit things to continue as they are now with no prospects of improvement?” The injection of the religious question into politics was deplored by the mpeaker, who added that he had reached the stage where he was actually ashamed of the American people. “I was brought up a Protest. ant, I em 8 mem| church, and ene 4 1 | frll count of his religion. What. ence does it make what man attends so long as he familiar with the ten commandments and lives up to them. I would sine cerely recommend to the republices party that they include in their piate form those same ten commandments, particularly that one which reads, ‘Thou Shalt Not Stesl’” ;fi | Dr. Willlam F. Reardon of West Hartford, candidate for state sema. tor from the fifth senatorial distriet, flayed the republican administration both in state and national affaire. In discumsing the recent Watking scandal, which was aired recently in the superior court at Hartford, the speaker called attention to a recent statement made by Governor John H, Trumbull that a smoke screen was hovering over the state of Connecti. cut and that the only way to get rid of it was to return the republican party to power at the election next Tuesday, “I agree with Governor Trumbull about the smoke acreen, However, Hugh Alcorn has blown portion of that smoke away. It blows all of it away before mext Tueaday, why Charles Morris of New Haven will be the next governor of the state of Connecticut.” Government control of publis utilities was advocated by the speak. er, who called attention to the fact that one-sixth of the public utilities in the state were controlled by J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the republican state cemmittee. The economy which Governor Trumbull spoke about did not exiat, according to the doctor, who pointed out it cost in this state from $18 to capita in comparison te $16 per capita in New York state and this in spite of the fact that the latter state has a bond fssue of $350,000,000 at the present time, The insane and tubercular in New York, as well as the World war veterans, were receiv. ing proper treatment, he continued, while in this state the governor was teling about how his party had suc. ceeded in saving $1.16 each week on each of the institution inmates. “Ten years after the end of the World war, the republicans of the state are now talking about provid. ing proper facilities for disabled vet. erans. What surprises me is that there are any of the veterans still living. It they wait a few years long- er, why such institutions as they propose may be used for the children of the veterans.” The farm rellef and immigration fssues were ®iso0 touched upon light. 1y by the speaker, Rally Well Attended The rally was well sttended, o number of republicans being pres- ent in the audience. Other speakers included Dr. M. F. Claffey, candidate for representative and James Kil. martin of Niagara university, Her. man Kopplemann, candidate for con. §ress, who was scheduled to appear, was detained elsewhers. Joseph F. Dutton, chairman of the democratic town committee, presided.
