CONFIDENGE MAN BOUND OVER John Barc Held for Trial in Superior Court—Accused of Getting $1,100 From Edward Piotkowski in Swindling tence by Judge Kelly. ‘The-case of the state vs. John Barc, several times continued, was brought up- again in the city court here Mon- day morning. Barc, who comes from Brooklyn, N. Y. was accused of Ob- taining money under false pretenses from Mr. and Mrs. Edward Plotkow- ski on Feb 23 last at.their home at No. 878 Central avenue. Barc plead- ed gullty and after the evidence against him had been heard, Judge T. J. Kelly found probable cause for hold- ing Barc for trial in the superior court. Bonds were placed at $5000, which Barc could not furnish and he went to jail to await his trial Mr. and Mrs. Piotkowski were the complaining witnesses and told their story of how Barc and a man named Miller induced them to put $1,100 into the hands of these two men. The Piot- kowski family never saw the money again. . Mr. Piotkowski testified that he had been running a blacksmith shop on Falls avenue, but had become inter- ested in the sale of farms for other people. Several weeks before he says Barc got the money away from him he met Barc in a saloon on the West Side and after some conversation in which Barc learned what business Piotkowski was in, Barc suggested that he could possibly find a customer for a farm for Plotkowski, There were other later meetings and letters were written by Barc in which he told of having a prospective cus- tomer and at one time a man named Santofsky, who was subsequently known as Henry Miller, was introduced as a man who would buy a farm. Once Barc took Mr. and Mrs. Piotkowski to Boston, paying their expenses, and Miller was met there. The couple also went to New London once to talk with Barc about the sale of the farm. On_Feb. 22 Piotkowski met Miller and Barc in the city here and the fol- lowing day Barc went to the Plotkow- ski home and talked about the sale again. He learned that Plotkowski had $1,100 in cash and told him that he could make a lot of money out of it quickly. There was a dark colored box with a telegraph outfit in it into which Barc put the money for a few A Message To Thm, Weak, Scrawny Folks An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 Pounds of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh. Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to'say: “1 can't understand why I do not get fat, I eat plenty of good, nourishing food The reason Is just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much you eat, un- less your: digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed is a' means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and. intestines to- absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin’ person’s body is like a dry sponge—eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which it is being deprived by the failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the food. The best way to overdome this sinful waste of flesh building ele- ments and to stop the leakage of fats is to use Sargol, the recently discovered regenerative force that is recommended 50 highly by physicians here and abroad, Take a little Sargol tablet with every meal and notice how quick- Iy your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, covering each bony angle and projecting point. Lee & Osgood and other good druggists have Sargol or can get it from their wholesaler, and will refund your monev if you are not satisfled with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in each package. It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient. Cautlon:—While Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming ner- vous dyspepsia and general stomach troubles, it should not be taken unless willing to gain ten pounds or or it is a wonderful flesh-builder Do You Know the Real Value of This Preparation? No. 46 Omega St., Stonington, Conn. My boy had suffered terribly for over minutes while he made the telegraph instrument click and then the money was taken out and put between two boards and placed on the mantel, where Piotkowski was told to leave it till the next day, when the operator would return and open it with him. By that time he was told the money would have grown to a much larger amount. That was the last Piotkowski ever saw of Barc until the confidence man was arrestel in Chicago on the 22nd Game—John H. Shaughnessy, Sneak Thief, Given Sen- of March. When Piotkowski opened the boards after Barc did not come back, nothing but some pieces of green blotting paper were found between them. At various times in their talks Barc interested Piotkowski in the chance of finding a man who had taken $9,800 from a man he knew and sald if they could only find this man, the loser of the big sum would reward them hand- somely, X Through information furnished to police 'departménts by the Norwich police, the' chase after Barc was fol- lowed through New York, Brooklyn and Chicago, where he was arrested in one day less than a month after the swindle. He was brought on from Chi- cago by State Policeman Flynn after extradition papers had been secured. Mrs. Piotkowski gave testimony that corroborated her husband’s in many particulars. Barc, who was represented by At- torney Allyn L. Brown, put in no tes- timony. He claims he cannot talk English, dbut the police think that he can. Joseph Marchile was interpreter in_the case. Barc’s wife, daughter and brother- in-law were on court and talked with Barc before he went to jail. The dark colored box containing the telegraph instrument and the boards which were to convert the money into ?t larger sum were in court as exhib- s. Intoxication and Fighting. Four men,” two from Norwich, one from Taftville and the other from Middletown, were before the court, having been arrested for intoxication. All were fined and three of them paid their bills. A Norwich woman accused of breach of the peace was put on pro- bation until the first of May. Sneak Thief Sentenced. John H. Shaughnessy, 28, of Boston, accused of the theft Saturday after- noon of a handbag containing $35 from the millinery parlors of Miss Sarah M. Buckley, at No. 308 Main street, was sent to jail for 30 days and was taxed the costs of court. The money was found on him. He claimed he threw the handbag out the window of the place where he had a room, Judge Kelly was moved to be le- nient with him as it was his first of- fense and it was shown he had been drinking. When he called at the Buck- ley millinery parlors, he tried to in- terest Miss Buckley in a plan to have seme photographs enlarged. He was arrested by Policeman Charles Smith in a hotel where he was found drinking at the bar. PERSONAL TAX COLLECTION STIRS HIM UP. Clyde R. Smith Will Sue New London for False Arrest. Clyde R. Smith, a plano tuner in New London, Monday announced his intention of instituting a suit for dam- ages against the city of New London for false arrest in connection with the recent persona] tax prosecution. Mr. Smith was summoned into police court on Wednesday last for non-payment of the tax for 1914, which with interest amounted to $2.18. He was fined $5 additional and at the same time he paid the 1915 tax, making his total payment to the court $9.18. Mr. Smith has in his possession a personal tax bill which he recently re- ceived upon which he states that he intends to base his suit. The bill is in substance as follows: Tax for 1915, $2; tax for 1914, $2; interest, 18 cents; tofal, $4.18. At one end of the bill is printed a statement to the effect that if it is not paid on or before May 1, 1915, it will be turned over to the pros- ecuting attorney for collection. The foregoing clause is considered by the prospective plaintiff as a basis for action. He alleges that he intend- ed to pay the $4.18 before May 1 and that under the phraseology of the clause referred to he rightfully as- sumed that he had until that date in which to settle. He further alleges that before he had an opportunity to two years from eczema on his face and body. and after copsulting physiclans and ‘trying-many freatments we felt somewhat discouraged on account of the disease not improving to any ex- tent. We are pleased indeed that we gave your B. . Ointment a trial, as the first application gave him ease, and in‘ the course of a few weeks his face and body was entirely healed. (Signed) MRS.

STATE DENTISTS IN THEIR ANNUAL SESSION. Will Hold Thres Day Meeting Next Week in Hartford, On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day of next week the fifty-first an- nual convention of the Connecticut State Dental association will be held at Foot Guard hall. The convention will be noteworthy because of two features. One will be the Connecti- cut Dental Hysicuists’ association ses- sicn on Wednesday and Thursday, and the other the post graduate class- es in impression taking and the con- struction of artificial dentures by Dr. Samuel G. Supplee. The committees have worked hard to make the affair the most successful of any in the as- sociation’s existence. The association was started as the result of a letter sent out under date of Sept. 15, 1864, by Dr. James Mc- Manus and Dr. Leroy D. Pelton of Hartford. Responsive to this letter, 39 dentists met at Central hall, Hart- ford, on Oct. 20, 1364. A temporary organization was effected by the elec- tion of Dr. E. E. Crofoot of Hartford as chairman and Dr. James McManus of Hartford as secretary. That af- ternoon the permanent organization was perfected, Dentistry in Connecticut has un- dergone a remarkable evolution since the days when the state association was formed. In those days it was something unusual for one dentist to recognize another on the street. To- day of the more than 600 dentists in the state, nearly 400 are enrolled as members of the association and these, at least- are kept in close touch with one another. The corvention will open Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, Dr. Charles H. Riggs of Hartford, the president, pre- siding. The business will include re- ports of the committees on necrology and dental legislation, the election of new members and miscellaneous busi- ness.

EAST MAINE CONFERENCE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Clergymen and Workers Formerly This Section Now Stationed Maine. (Special to The Bulletin.) Dover, Maine, April 17.—The 68th annual session of the East Maine con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal church is in session in this place this week, Bishop Joseph F. Berry, D. D, resident bishop of Philadelphia, in the chair. This is the first time Bishop Berry has held this conference. He is mak- ing a good impression. His'addresses each morning are interesting and great interest centers in the fact that he is a personal friend of the renowned Billy Sunday. The exercises are of interesting characters and include the addresses of some of the leading men of the de- nomination who represent the various benevolent interests of the denomina- tion. Among the speakers have been the following: S. Earl Taylor, LL. D., New York; M. Beswell, D, D, Phila- delphi: P. J. Maveety, D. D., Cincin- nati; Mrs_ May Leonard Woodruff, Allendale, N. J., and others. Among the visitors to the conference are the following, who have been known to Norwich in other years: Mrs. John S. Williams, wife of Law- yer Williams if Guilford, eight miles from this place, is an interested at- tendant. Mrs, Williams was formerly Miss Kate Montgomery, only daughter of the late Rev. Hugh Montgomery, who a_generation ago was a terror to rumsellers in Norwich and all the country_round about. Rev. William F, Davis, well known in eastern Connecticut as having held successful pastorates in Uncasville, Danielson’ and South Manchester, is here. Mr. Davis has served the church in Houlton, Maine, for the past two years with great success. At present he is being sought for a church in Massachusetts, but the peovle in Houl- ton will veto that if possible. Rev. Charles A. Purdy, who held some years ago pastorates in.South Coventry and Staffordville, and later in Dighton, Mass., and in Fall River, is closing a four years’ pastorate at Orrington, Maine, and expects a change this year. Rev. J. O. Rutter, pastor at Hope Valley, R. I, several years ago, is serving a charge at Limestone, Maine, and is prominent in the conference. Mrs. Emma Harrison, mother of Rev. C. Wilson Harrison, recently pastor at Gales Ferry, is serving the charge at West Tremont, Maine, in substitution for a regular minister. She is an in- terested and earnest worker, who is highly respected. Rev. Charles B. Bromley, well known in Norwich, has served as pastor at Jacksonville, Maine, during the past five months, is to be stationed there the coming year. He has returned to Providence, R.‘I. to get his goods and he and his wife will take up their abode in the parsonage at Jackson- ville soon, Rev. C. E. Bromley rejoices in-the prospect of returning for the fourth year as pastor of the church at Ed- dington, Me., where he is pleasantly located in one of the suburbs of the city of Bangor, among a people who have unanimously invited him to stay with them.

Barber of Norwich Town, who read a paper last week, both before Norwich grange, No, 172, and New London county Pomona, No. 6, upon the subject of the _Better Eabies Campalgn, writes The Bulletin an_explanation of what is aimed at and expected to be accomplished by the movement in which she is so much interested, She writes as follows: Norwich grange, P. of H. has been the first organization to endorse this movement locally, but we hope all local org#hizations will take the mat- ter up and act upon it. When we realize the need of this movement the good it will accomplish through Mothers’ Meetings, Mothers’ Leagues, Baby Health Exhibits, and the literature distributed by the Wo- man's Home Companion without cost it would seem effort alone is needed to_promote this work. When we realize over 200,000 chil- dren under five vears of age die an- nually in the Umlted States of prevent- able diseases; that 25 per cent. of all blindness is caused by ophamlia, ad- mitted by all authorities as prevent- able; that’in one year in_ the regis- tration area of the United States alone 17,549 children died of respiratory dis- eases, 41,161 of diarrhoeal or enteric diseses, 33,274 lived only a few hours through premature birth, congenital debility and diseases of early infancy. When we realize this terrible death rate was preventable in most cases, not all certainly, but- with proper training for motherhood the death rate would have been decreased amazingly. In Belgium it has been decreased from 324 per thousand to 35 by this method. In England there are municipally con- ducted 400 of these schools of mother- craft and a greater work than either has been accomplished in Germany. In America we as a nation_are at the foot, but are waking up. In New York there are over 20,000 girls from 12 to 14 years of age formed into Lit- tle Mother leagues. These girls are taught all practical methods of baby hygiene and feeding. Weekly meet- ings are held. Each league is under the supervision of a doctor and train- ed nurse from the division of hy- giene. One department store has furnished a’suite of rooms in which exhibits are held. Every day talks are given, lec- tures held and demonstrations given as to proper methods of child care. Better Baby. contests have been held in every state but three, and 117 local and county contests representing 37 states. These contests are usually held on fair grounds, but if suitable quarters are not to be procured, can be held in any suitable building. Usually fair officials are only glad to furnish build- ings as it means large gate receipts. The United States spends annually $3,000,000 for better cattle, better hogs, better corn, fruit and flowers. Why not better bables? Physicians all over the county are taking up the work and glving services'free. Perhaps the most notable work accomplished by the bu- reau is to interest the largest and most influential body of men in the county, the American Medical asso- ciation, in the scientific examination of babies at contests. All’ our leading magazines are pub- lishing articles on this subject. Local papers are giving free advertisements to help the cause.

DR. J. H. SCHENCK & SON, Philadelphia, nurses also give free services, and in many instances hospital doors are thrown open for the contests. Moth- ers, and fathers too, are brought face to face with unrealized facts and are made to recognize the physical rights of their children. One mother, whose baby in _a con- test was marked 70 because of prom- inent ears, said: “When those physicians looked at her ears and wrote that fatal 70 after her name, I thought I could never forgive myself. It was the most hu- miliating day of my life. Not be- cause I lost the prize, but because I could have corrected the disfigurement if I had persevered.” To anyone in New London county desirous of forming Mothers’ meetings, Mrs, Barber is willing to send upon application, full directions for organ- izing, with program _covering nine months’ meetings if held every two weeks, and a list of books for study and aiso the following leaflets: What Every Mother Wants to Know; Little Helps for Expectant Mothers: Hints to Mothers Who Want Better Babies, and the New Service Page, Greetings from Division No. 2.
