A Murder? ‘With all the appearances of & good detective story in the start, Berlin and state police are attempt- ing to solve the mystery of a small traveling bag that was found yester- day morning in a brook near Lower lane. The bag was picked up by some boys who were playing near their home. The bag itself created no lit- tle surprise, and for the boys it was a treasure. But on opening it they found it to be filled with rags and a pillow case, saturated with blood. Immediately the police were notifi- ed. Dr. R. M. Griswold stated that the blood was fresh and that the bag had not been in the water for any length of time. The state police were notified and they are continuing in- vestigation to learn the whereabouts of the owner. There are few clues to work on, there betng no name of the bag or markings on its contents. Police have no idea what the cir- cumstances leading up to disposal of the bag may be. Finance Board Meeting ‘The town finance board will meet at the Berlin night to discuss the proposed ad tion to the Kensington grammar school. There has been some discus- sion to the fact that the addition would cut off the playground of the school and make it impossible for the children to play ball or have ample playground space. The alternative to this proposition would be to build a school on the land pur- chased for that purpose a year ago. It is understood that this idea is in favor with the members of the finance board. There can be no ac- tion taken along the lines of a separate building until the school board retracts its motion for an ad- dition to the present school. It is ex- pected that final action will be de- cided upon at the meeting Thursday evening. East Berlin Leads W L East Berlin . .. 12 3 Ken.

Denouncing their pareuts for al- lowing them to run wild and roam the streets at all times of the night, Justice of Peace Meritt O. Ryder sentenced seven boys between th: ages of nine and 15 to the state re- form school this morning in court on charges of being in danger of leading vicious lives and for being incorrigible. After a severe repri- mand, the court suspended the sen- tence upon payment of the costs of the court. The judge warned the boys that if they are brought into court again within the next six months they will be forced to All out their sentences at the school without trial. The case was the aftermath of over six months of trouble. Most of the boys have been in court before and since last December the police have been receiving complaint after complaint concerning them. They have caused Constable George Schu- bert considerable trouble and, al. though he had warned them time after time, it failed to do any good. The climax was reached early Fri- day morning when the officer found a number of the boys sleeping in an old barn on West Main street. Investigation by the officer proved that the boys had stolen a cake at the Rogers bakery on June 13 and on June 19 they had taken a cot e- longing to a Chinese merchant on West Main street. All of the parents of the children were in court this morning to an- swer to charges of contributing to the delinquency of the boys. “No matter how large a family world why parents cannot see that their children are in bed at & cer- tain hour every night,” declared Prosecutor Charles F. Conion. “These boys are running wild around the streets and have been causing the merchants and Conatable Schu- bert unlimited trouble. “The boys have appeared before this court before and, despite warnings by Constable Schubert and myself, have continued to be a wmource of trouble to the town,” cried Mr. Coa- lon, The cases took nearly an hour, each boy being called on to testify and the parents of each boy being called upon to present their side of the case. Most of the parents plead- ed ignorance of the actions of their children during the evening and, in one case, a mother claimed that the boy's father hit him with anything he put his hands on and thereforc the boy stayed out late at evenings. Constable Schubert testified that he had been caused considerable trouble by the boys and that he had warned them on numerous o°- casions but to no avail. Trial Tomorrow As a result of an automobile ac- cident on the New Britain road yes- terday morning, Frank Cintello of 126 Village stieet. Hartford. and Frank Szetzetansky of 768 Arch street, New Britain, will be in court tomorrow morning to answoer charges of reckless driving and violation of the rules of the road re- spectively.

Yesterday after- noon while bathing here with my son, 1 suddenly found myself heels over my head quite helpless—for the boy had a decided grip on both my hands and it seemed ages that we floundered around in the ter.

THREE SAFE AFTER PLANE MOTOR DIES Pilot by Quick Thinking Brings Passengers Down Salely Stratford, June 24.—(UP—Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sinko of Bridgeport, passengers in a Curtis Flying Service plane piloted by John Battell, and the pilot himself, owe their lives to- day to his quick thinking when the motor of the craft went dead 1500 above the Stratford Episcopal church. Forced to choose between a plow- ed fleld or a small building lot for a landing in the dim light of last night, Battell took the small lot and landed his paasengers and himself unhurt, though he pancaked the craft.
