Snow, changing at times into an icy rain, gave motorists here their first taste of winter travel over the week-end. While the snowfall was light, the intermittent rains and freezing weather surfaced the pave- ments with icy coverings that made motoring & hazardous and a trying experience. The highways were espe- cially bad Saturday night and early vesterday morning. Hills invited ac- cidents and loomed as insurmount- able hindrances to automobiles with- out chains. In spite of the bad condition of the roads in town, only three acci- denta were reported to the police. While applying his brakes on the slippery pavement on Beach Swamp road about 11 o'clock Saturday eve- ning, Ely H. Labbe of 9 Dutton street, Lowell, Mass., swung across the road and was struck broadside by another machine driven by F. T. Kotzback of Percival avenue, Kens- ington. Both drivers were badly cut about the face and body. Determined to keep an appoint- ' ment in Hartford, Fred Meyer of Meriden refused to let himself be de- terred by an accident on Stoggart's | Hill early last evening in which the right side of his sedan was torn away, the top cracked, windshield smashed and the door knocked off. ' He ran off the inclined road when he skidded in slush after pulling to the left and applying his brakes to avoid hitting a machine which stop- ped suddenly in front of him as he_ drove down the hill in the direction of Hartford. Meyer found his car in drivable condition after it had been lifted from the ditch and continued on his way. An automobile driven by Herman Schmidt of 184 Elm street, Meriden, ran off the road yesterday afternoon and crashed into the home of Mr: M. V. Smith on the Berlin turnpike. Mrs, Smith was standing in 1te liv-| ing room of her small, shingled home and was thrown off her fect by the jar. She Mr. Schmidt and Francis Smith, who accompafied Mr. Schmidt in the car, were elightly injured. Mr. Smith told the police that when Mr. Schmidt attempted to pass a truck in front of him, the truck kept in the center of the hishway. The pleasure car was forced to tpin to the side and crashed into the house. Numerous cases of skidding etc., were reported about town but out- stde of the above accidentino col- lisions resulted. -Cars had trouble in procecding up Farmington road but the state highway department soon had men about the road cover- | h sand. Found in Road Joseph Keyes, reported to be from Berlin, was found lying on the sta road in Yalesville yesterday morn- ing about 10 o'clock by a passing motorist.

This spot,. which has been the scene of many accidenta during the past year and at which the vision is very; pdor, has become known this sum- mer as “Blind Man’s Corner.” The hazard is expected t0 be greater next year, due to the increased amount of traffic which will be us- ing Crooked street to reach the new state park gt Sunset rock, and it I8 felt that steps should be taken to remedy the existing conditiona. The situation present a delicate problem. Crooked street comes into the state road not only at the worst possible angle but also on a bad up-grade, while a high bank on the east side hides the roadway in that direction and also prevents motor- ists on the main highway from see- ing cars on Crooked street. The town owns a triangle of land which could be used in straightening out the angle of entrance into the high- way, but the grade would still re- by the state highway department. On Farmington avenue the commis- slon has also had to wait for the state to fix boundaries. In each in- stance it is planned to establish lines for the entire length of the strect from the southern end to the town line. Property Transfers Eight property transfers have been recorded at the town clerk's of- fice during the past week and show that there {s much real estate ac- tivity In the eastern end of the town.

Dominick Zaleski, better known | about the city as Dominick Ales, who resides on Pine street, Forestville and conducts a real estate office on | | Main strect, this city, was arraigned | tefore Judge Willlam J. Malone in police court this morning charged With obtaining money under false | pretenses by the ance of a |fraudulent check. After listening to | the evidence, the case was continued | until Tuesday morning, Judge ! Malone instructing court officer | to place Zaleski alias Ales under 1lock and key until that time. Zaleskl was arrested Sunday eve- "ning by Pbliceman John McLaughlin after a warrant had been issucd by Prosccuting Attorney James Mather on complaint (f John E. Mc Carthy of Bavard & McCarthy, Main strect clothlers. Mr. McCarthy estificd in court today that on Octo- ber 20, Zaleski callea at his store and after purchasing a suit of clother | for $60 and other items of merchan- dise tor $3.50, tenderad a check for §6! on the Plaiaville Trust C in tult yayment. The check was d: posited i due course und a few dayy later was returned, murked funds. Since that time Mr. Mc- Carthy testified, he has endeavored (to piake collection from Zaleski but ! without result. 1 Zalesii informed the court that the lacw of funds in his checking ac count wus explained by the fact tha: he hau deposited a note for $ payable on the date which he h: issued the cheek, but the party owing | fiim the money liad failed to take up ihe u He also informed th: court he had another $500, which vas to be cvening, and that at vould ble to reinburse Mr. Mc Catthy tor the worthiess check.) Prosceuting Attorney James T. Mather stressed to the court that it had come to his attention that Zulesk1 had been engaged in severai i “siippery” deals lately and that some time ago he borrowed $50 froni a local bootblack with the promise to return the money within a few hours. This he had, up to the pres- ent time, failed to do and the boot- black was still looking for his money. It is believed that, in the event Zaleski makes restitution for the amount of the Savard & McCarthy check and reimburses the bootblack for the temporary loan, leniency will be shown by the court in imposing . sentence. Arrested Following Accident Scant sympathy will be shown | motorists found guilty of responsi- | bility in accidents when they carry no insurance, Judg- Malone inti- mated in police court today. This, attitude ofi the part of the court was expressed in the case of James Halloran of 888 Park street, Hart- ford, who, while operating a car owned by Basil White of North Main strect, collided with a truck owned by Trudon & Platt of this | city, sideswiped an automobile op- erated by Frank Meigs of 223 East | Main street, Forestville, and tied up traffic on Broad street for over an hour early Saturday evening. After listening to the evidence, Judge Malone ordered both Halloran and White locked up until tomorrow morning at which time the case will | be disposed of. Halloran is charged with reckless driving. An investigation made by Officer Edgar Norton, according to his testi- mony, Indicated that Halloran had just passed Mcigs' car when b | #kidded and crashed into the heavy ' truck, throwing the vehicle against | {the curb. Halloran's car then | | swerved back again and gtruck the | front of the automobils operated by | Meigs. The truck was badly dam- | aged. | il | Many Cars Stallod I An inche snowfall on Saturday lafternoon and evening completely demoralized automobile traffic in the city, many autoista being oblized to leave their cars on the highway and return later with chains.

Dr. Claffey at the time was starting for Farmington for Mrs. Claffey, who narrowly escaped seri- ous injury when the car in which she was riding with a party of friends turned over near the Hart- ford reservoir. Escapes One Officer; Rearrested While being brought to police headquarters by Policeman Conneliy shortly hefore 1 o'clock this morning, Merle White, 2¢, of West street, <lipped from the officer's grip at the corner of Main and Summer strects nd sped up Summer street with Connelly at his heels. Upon reach- school building, White sccreted himself and while the officer was searching the prem- ises, the fugitive managed to slip across Summer street, down Center and on North Main where he was arrested a short time later by Offi- cer John McLaughlin. In police court this White was charged with morning, reckless driving and operating a motor ve- | hicle while under the influence of liquor. Ofticer Connelly testified thut his attention had been directed to White by the zig-zag manner in down Que tion of en street. Near the june- ucen and Goodwin stree the car skidded and stopped side-!

Brightwood Sale Rumor Dispelied A rumor about the city today that Brightwood, former home late Albert F. Rockwell and which was recently sold by Mrs. Rockwell to a group of Hartford men, had been purchased by the New Depar- ture Manufacturing company for an athletic club house, was dispelled by a statement made by Lester G. Sig- curney, secretary of the concern. The plant officials, when questioned by a Herald representative this morning, said that he had not so much as heard the rumor and that there was absolutely no truth to it.

Stool Pigeons Effective The work of stool pigeons figured prominently in the securing of evi- dence by the liquor squad of the local department, according to tes- timony presented at eeveral cases |in the city court Saturday moraing. | TiMs fact was brought out by At- torney Noble E. Plerce, counsel for Vincenzo Brunoli and his wife, An- gelina, of 26 Alexander street, at whose home over 600 gallons of wine and a small quantity ef liquor were found by the raiding squa When questioned as to the iden- tity of the stool pigeon employed | to secure evidence, Sergeant Henry | Jeglinski stated that John Vaamoni had been engaged for the work and that it was he who purchased the | wine at the Brunoli home. Vanont, although expected in court last Bat- urday morning, failed to appear, apparently fearing the wrath of his countrymen. According to a state- ment made by Policeman Willlam Thompson, @& member of the liquor squad, Vanoni had not only left the city but the state as well. Judge Willlam J. Malone, in im. i posing fines on Brunoli and his wife, stated that while it did not appear sportsmanlike to secure evidence in this manner, it was undoubtedly the only way in which places of such |a nature could be cleaned up. Locked in Sallies’ Room The Salvation Army has long been | recognized for its hospitality but one resident of this city, following ! his experience of Sunday, is only too willing to admit that at least in his case it was too hospitable. | At 5:30 o'clock last evening, Of- ficer Aldie Brault who was doing desk duty at police headquarters, was informed by twe young boys that there was & man locked up is |the Salvation Army headquarters on School street. The man, seeing the ouths passing by, called to them and asked that they seck the aasist- jance of someone who could open | the door and let him out. The boys, iwise for their years, immediately went to headquarters and told their story | The man's predicament was ex- plained by Officer Brault to Captaln Tagington of the local branch of the vation Army and shortly after 6 o’clock the man was released. It is belleved that he fell asleep during tlie morning services and was over- looked by the Salvation Army work- ers when they left shortly after noon. The man's name was not di- vulged. | Disabled Veterans’ Breach Plans for the formation of & Bristol chapter of the Disabled Vet- erans of the World War will be discussed at a meeting to be heid in the pew state armory at 8 o'clock this' evening.
