Driver in Burkhardt Death Case— Banking Commission Approves Stock Tncrenso—Public Whist, expected to deter Representative Robert B. White from seeking the town court again. An instance of the injustice of town courts, no matter how honest and impartial its officials may be, has been pointed out by these very officials during the present’ week. Two motorists were invelved in a comparatively minor accident last week and were in court Saturday. 1t was explained by the prosecutor that there was no real criminal com- plaint and that the matter was one for civil action only, but the princi- pals had failed to come to an agree- ment and it was necessary to bring them to gourt to effect this. The justice was as lenient as was possible, accepting a nolle of both cases, upon payment of costs. These costs were necessary because the court officials had to be paid for their time. Had there been a town court, it has been pointed out, it would have been possible to drop the matter entirely, as the court officers would be salaried and not dependent upop costs of court for their recom. pense.

As Dex- ter was in his car about 9:30 o'clock at the Stundard Steel and Bearings, Inc, the sedan, according to his re- port to Constable George Schubert, backed into his machine and crumpled one fender. Dexter asked for a settlement and was refused. He also reported that the man had declined to give his name. Constable Schubert is looking him up. The markers In question were is- rthur L.

Mataosian Case Tomorrow Final settlement of criminal ac- l!on in the case of Charles Matao- sian of Wilcox street, New Britain, is expected tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock when Mataosian will appear in court and will be charged with cr_lnlllml Regligence in connection With the death of Arnold Burkhardt of Southington in an automobile ac- cident, on October 12. Constable George Schupert this morning made detailed measurements of the spot Where the fatality occurred, and it 18 believed that all parties interested are now ready to proceed to a show- down tomorrow. The local medical examiner, Dr. Charles W. Moody, and Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun of Hartford both exonerated Mataosian because Burk- hardt’s body hid his tail light from Mataosian's view at the moment the latter's car struck the Southington man. There was some dissatisfaction with this decision and the case was reopened by local authorities at the request of the s attorney's of- fice. The local officials are inclined to agrce with the coroner's finding and expect it will be upheld at to- morrow's hearing, but they want all the facts brought out and a decision made which will be unquestionable. Stock Increase Approved The approval of the state banking commission has been received re. garding the proposed increase of the capital stock of the Plainville Trust Co., from $50,000 to $100,000. The commission is composed of the bank commissioner, state treasurer, and state comptroller. A certificate of increase has been filed at the town cicrk's office.

Coroner Urges Flash At Wallingford Grade New Haven, Nov. 16 (P—The death of Chester Kwasniewski of Meriden who was killed when his automebile was struck by a railroad train at the Hall avenue crossing in Wallingford was not due to any criminal act according to a finding issued today by Deputy Corpner James J. Corrigan, in which he also states that he belleves the crossing is not adequately protected. Kwasniewski was driving a ma- chine loaned him by Frank Slavin of Meriden and was on his way home in the early morning hours of October 26, after having visited a girl in Wallingford. The coroner finds that a gong which gives the only signal at night, vas apparently in working order but he does not consider the gong a sufficlent safety device because a freight house cuts off the vision of cars approaching from the south and also because the sound of the gong thight not reach the driver of a closed car. Corrigan suggests a bell and flash signal should the crossing be con- tinued. The New Haven road lLas proposed closing the crossing and di- verting traffic to the Quinnipiac street crossing.

Plainville Bristol News TRUGK DRIVER 1S HELD AT FAULT Terryville Man Arrested on Charge of Manslaughter Alex Triscilla to Be Arraigned Next Tuesday — Police Have Quict ' Mouth—New Parking Restrictions —Community Chest Drive. In the findipg of Coroner Samuel A. Herman of Winsted, Alex Triscilla of Eagle street, Terryville is heid criminally responsible for the death on October 20 of Richard Donahue, eight.year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne L. Donahue. Triscilla at the time was operating a truck of the Harvest Bakery company of North Main street, this city. The boy died | the day after being struck withou! regaining consciousness. The announcement of Coroner Herman's finding was made known yesterday and Triscilla was immedi- ately placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff George Buckley of Terryville, charged with manslaughter. Bonds were set at $1.500 and Triscilla, being unable to furnish them, was taken to the Litchfield county jail. He will be put to plea next Tuesday before Judge Elbert Hamblin in the court of common pleas at Litchfield next Tuesday. Within the past several months, there have been three fatal acci- dents in Terryville, the victims in each instance being pedestrians. At the present time speeding along the main atreet of the town is being checked closely and a number of errests have been made lately for reckless driving. Quiet Month for Police The month of November, up to the present time, has been an ex- tremely quiet one for the police de- partment. With the month half gone, but 28 arrests have been made, the greater portion of these result- ing from complaints. b Requests for additional protec- fion at the west and north sides during the rush hours of the day will be made shortly to the board of police commissioners, it is un- derstood. This action follows the fatal accident at the corner of West and School streets last Wednesday evening when Antonto Cavalier, a factory worker, lost his life while crossing the intersection. He was struck by an autolst, who, according to information furnished the police by witnesses, passed while the traffic signal was set against him. A similar situation exists at the north side, whre an officer has been stationed for the past several eve- nings to check up on violations of the traffic odinances. It is rumored that a petition, re- questing that the day offiger be re- tained in Forestville, will be circu- lated in the event the board of po- lice. commissioners decide to elim- inate that position. It is pointed out that the officer was put on by a vote of the residents of that section and that he cannot be taken off unless similar action is taken. The need of a traffic officer has been eliminated by the placing of an electro-matic signal In the center, but residents believe that the officer should also be retained. 1t is also probable that a request will be made in the near future for two night officers in For- estville. At the present time one man patrols practically all of that section and while he is at the north- ern end of his beat, the central part of the village is left unprotected. These petitions will probably be presented at the next meeting of the police board. Election Expenses Filed Dewitt Page, president of the New Departure Manufacturing cem- pany, and presidential elector, do- nated §$8,000 to the republican cause during the recent campaign, accord- ing to a statement filed with the secretary of state. $7,000 of this amount was contributed to the state fund and $1,000 to the local town committee. J. Fayette Douglass, successful candidate for selectman, spent nothing. Judge Epaphroditus Peck, candidate for representative, spent $200, $100 being donated to the state fund and $100 to the local republi- can town committee. I. 0. O. F. Meeting A meeting of Stephen Terry lodge, 1. 0. O. F., will be held at 8§ ‘clocok this evening in Stephen Terry hall.

Moathl, y Inspection The monthly inspection of store basements in the city was made thig morning by members of the fire de- partment under the supervision of Chief Jobn H. Hayes. Since this sys- tem was inaugurated a few years ago, cellars have been kept clear of refuse and the fire loas has been ap- preciably decreased. Diphtheria Immunization «Considerable progress has been made by officials of the hesith board in the diphtheria immunizs- tion campaign which opened last Monday in the public schools. Ap- proximately 1,000 pupils have re- ceived the first merum inoculatien this week, according to the repert made this morning by Dr. B. B. Robbins, health officer. Yesterday, children in the North Chippins Hill, South Chippins Hill and Fall Moun- | tain were inoculated by Dr. Robbins and children in the Edgewood and Stafford schools by Dr. A. 8. Brack- ett, school physician. Two more in- oculations will be necessary in each instance. | [Parents of school children have been commended by Dr. Robbins for =|hr interest displayed in the health i board's endeavor to eliminate diph- {theria from the public achools of the city. At the present time practically 75 per cent of the children are deemed immune from the disease, & {large number having been vaccinat. ed last year. No Parking Restrictions As a result of numerous com- plaints made to the police depart- ment, parking of automobiles on the curve near the office of the Bouthern New England Telephone company on Summer street has been prohibited. The last complaint was made by Chief John H. Hayes of the fire de- partment, who pointed out that in case of fire, it would be impossible for the large fire trucks to make the turn. Parking has also been prohibited on the west side of the Pequabuck river bridge in Forestville. This ac- tion was found necessary on ac- count of the installation of the new electromatic signal at that point. Out of Town Alphofse Booski was given until next Monday to leave the city by Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather, after residents had com- plained of the man's panhandling activities. Booskl has but one hand and for the past several days has been visiting homes asking for money. He has been before the court on several previous occasions and at one time was on probation, To Attend Flks’ Dedication Twenty members of the Bristol lodge of Elks have purchased reser- vations for the dedication exercises of the new home of the Meriden lodge of Elks, which will be held to- morrow evening. A large fumber of local members will attend who were unable to secure seats. Grand Exalted Ruler Hulburt of New York city will be the guest of honor. X Community Campaign Although the formal launching of the community chest campaign does not take place until next Monday morning, much interest in the or- ganized effort to raise funds ‘or . Bristol's welfare organizatio: has already heen exhibited and many subscriptions have already been left at campalgn headquarters. The number of subscriptions and the to- tal amount subscribed has not been announced, but Alden C. Purrington, member of the committee in charge of the receipts and tabulations of the subscriptions intimated that the subscriptions were for substantial amounts. The unusual pre-campaign interest manifested by the public is believed to be due to the growing | realization by the people of Bristol, of just what the five chest organisa- tions mean to Bristol as a commun- ity, and this early interest is be- lieved to presage an abundantly suc- cessful outcome of the campaign. Final instructions will be given to those who will actively canvass for funds during the campaign at a gathering to be held at the Endee Inn tonight. The meeting will be called at 7 o'clock and in addition to remarks by officials of the com- munity chest and of the campaign, two speakers of wide reputation in, community effort will address the gathering. The two speakers, whose coming was arranged through the campaign speakers’ bureau of which former Mayor Joseph F. Dutton is director, are 8amuel Ludlow. presi- dent of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce and Willard Rogers of South Manchester, advertising man. ager of the Bond hotel. ‘Window Exhibits Through the cooperation of & number of Main street merchants, opicials of the Community Chest have been enabled te arrange for the display of a number of exhibits typifying the work of the several or- ganizations and today and tomorrow these displays will be put in place. ‘Workers Visit Institutions An important feature of the pre- liminary work of the campaign, was the series of tours of the chest in- stitutions which took place Wednes- day and Thursday, when the work- ers were given the privilege of ob.
