Xenehan, charged with manslaughter because of having caused the death of a little boy in a motorcycle accident at Danielson last Memorial day, will commence in the superior court here Thursday morning. School Closed Because of Heat. ‘With the temperature soaring in the nineties, it was so oppressively hot at the Israel Putnam school Tuesday. that the students were dismissed in the early afternoon, Connelly’s High Average. Notwithstanding that he is not being used much at present, the most recent- ly published batting averages of the Boston Braves show that Smiling Joe one of the greatest middle distance runners in the world: Looking for Non-Combustible Track. As we understand the mineral qual- ity arrangements of asbestos Dante could have worn the stuff as sandals on that hike he took or wrote about, and never even have them singed. In short, asbestos, they tell us, won't burn. All of which is brought te mind, when we wonder if there is an asbestos running track in this wide, wide world. Why? Oh, just because they tell us out at the B. A. A. that Tom Halpin will run faster this coming season than he ever did before, and no board track will stand such burning. A Rest Gave Him More Power: Long Tom went up to the electric light meet the other evening in Wor- cester, and showed form and a turn of speed that has every friend of the tall captain wearing a wide smile. Tom it will be remembered, was forced be- cause of business to just about quit in the midst of the season last winter. The chances are he hasn’t touched a pair of running shoes half a dozen times since then.

Suspected Pickpockets. Two persons who were suspected of being pickpockets were kept under watch at the Woodstock fair during Tuesday on account of stories that the fair officials heard relative to the repu. tation of the men., Jitney Cut Rates. Starting out with a charge of 50 cents for carrying passengers to t fair Tuesday, men driving automobiles got into a cut rate war and forced the price down to 25 cents before 11 o'clock and in one instance a jitney driver was taking 'em over for 15 cents a head. Many of the stores in Putnam were closed Tuesday afternoon to enable the clerks—and proprietors—to attend the popular fair at Woodstock. The result was that Putnam’'s business section took on a holiday appearance. Salvation Army workers from thi city were at ine Woodstock fair Tues. day collecting funds fer use in the ex- cellent work that they do here. A resident on Woodstock avenue who has a liking for compiling statistics atated that 187 machines, bound for the gér. passed his home In an hour esday.

The clubs have been bat- tling for the last six weeks or more with honors even and the contest of this week end is looked upon as the cdeanup for one side or the other. A mighty good team with their reg- ular men in the field, Southbridge is going to streteh the limit for this game will strengthen up with some of the very best men available. It is probable that a big leaguer will do_the twirling for them. ‘This means a pitchers’ battle, for Manager Cassent will also have a big leagye star on the firing line. It may be Fisher or Keating of the New York Americans or Bender, the big Indian chief formerly with the Athleti¢a. Bender talked over the telephone from Philadelphia with Manager Cassent Tuesday afternoon and expressed his willingness to come if he gets his price—and he wants a nickel or tw: any fan can bet. With this kind of pitching on both sides the fans who are inclined to bet their money want to make sure that they know what they are doing before they start out. TO CIRCULATE PETITION Asking for Special Town Meeting to Decide Trade School Matter. Following a meeting of the chamber of commerce at which no one voted against the proposition that a peti- tion be circulated asking for a special town meeting to see 1f the town will vote to make an appropriation of ap- proximately $20,000 for the purpose of exposition, all the wonderland cow try ‘of the west and a section of tur- bulent Mexico.

It is understood that a large number. of .names will be handed in, &8s both license and no-license workers have hustled to get as many support- ers into line as possible. The battle of bdallots on the license question is going to be no less acute this year than in years gone by. The campaign has been carefully mapped out on both sides. Prediction: to which side will win are always hazardous in the close town of Kl&tl . but expres- sions may be heard from many stu- dents of conditighs"in Killingly as to how they expect the town to go. — HALPIN IN BOSTON What the Sportind’ Page Writers Say g About; His Speed, 4 live sporfife _eading Boston e 3 page of one of the ing papers’ carried ive * to the folloWwin Danielson boy,' in gliluq nurse of m'.'i'.:—a:g fi‘;pl. found .

But there is no truth to the report that Thomas has acquired his return to speed by running away from that guardian of the motor law who is mounted on a 90 horse power steamer out in the close vicinity of Mattapan square. There is no truth whatso- ever to that. As Tom tells us, they f:? back to low gear when passing m. OBITUARY William H. H. Leavens. ‘William H. H. Leavens, 75, for many years a resident of Wauregan, died at his home in that village Monday night. He came there as a boy of ten, in 1890, and as soon as he was old enough to secure employment he went to work for the Wauregan company, learning the trade of ma- chinist. He served in the war as a member of the Eighteenth Connecti- cut, but aside from the time during which he was away to the war he remained in the employ of the mill company until he retired from active work. Mr. Leavens was an Odd Fel- low and a Mason. He was one of the well known and respected residents of the town of Plainfield. He is sur- vived by two grandchildren. hives, and all sores and Lt Trial Box Free. Drug &Dep't Stores. constructing a trade school building in this city, such a petition was put in circulation by Mayor Archibald Mac- donald Tuesday. Doubtless a sufficlent number of names for calling the meet- ing will be quickly secured. The meet- ing will be held on some date prior to Sept. 29, preferably in the evening. The meeting will be called to see if the town will vote to appropriate not to exceed $20,000 for the construction of a trade sSehool building; to see if the town will vote to use any part of the grounds about the high school building for a site for such a building; to see if the town will vote to appoint a committee on construction in case an appropriation is made and to do any other business that may be neces- sery to bring about the end sought. Many leading and influential citi- zens of the town expressed themselves Tuesday as favorable to the planm of having the town make the desired ap- propriation. Over and above the reg- ular appropriation for the Putnam trade school $7,000 is available for the equipment of a new building if the town takes action prior to October 1. This is the reason why it is proposed to hold the special town meeting be- fore that date. The fact that interest.in the trade school is constantly increasing is one reason why a strenuous effort will be made to give it a permanent home in this city. Witk only brief an- nouncements as to evening classes over 50 applications have been re- ceived already fro mthose who desire to attend, this in the textile depart- ment alone. Putnam is the one city in this sec- tion of the state that has a trade school and those who realize what ad- vantages it brings in a practical ed- ucational way in this manufacturing town are anxious to retain the school and develop it to the height of its possibilities to the enduring good of hundreds of yo people who will have to work for their living. SMITH ST. SCHOOL Contract for Improvements Awarded. In conjunction with the improve- ments that the city is making on Smith street the town school commit- tee is to make improvements in and about Smith street school, laying a retaining wall, sidewalks, etc. At a recent meeting of the school board bids for the work were received as follows: Wilcox Brothers, 14% cents per square foot for sidewalks, 50 cubic yard, 2nd class concrete, 3.30 for 3rd class concrete, 35 cents lineal foot for § in. drain. Bi- ult & Benolt: “15 ents per sq foot for sidewalks; $6.75 per cublc yard 2nd class concrete; $4.76 for 3rd class; 40 cents for § inch drain. John gon- tract was awarded to Wilcox Brothers.

PLAINFIELD William Knight Found Dead Under Suspicious Circumstances—Oppo: tion Democra Caucus—Moosup K. of C. Election. Mystery and suspicion surround the death of Willlam Knight, who was found dead Tuesday morning in the home of Al Rundell on Flat Rock. Lit- tle can be learned about the circu stances under which Knight met his death. He attended the caucus in Cen- tral Village Monday evening with a number of neighbors and friends and what happened between the time he went home and was found dead is be- ing investigated.

He was known as a crack shot with the rifle all along the countryside: He did not have any regular employment, but did odd jobs for farmers and neighbors. Carried Suspicious Bundle. A queer rover was accosted by Grand Juror King recently and was asked concerning himself. The man carried a bundle under his arm, which he laid down. The sound it made excited the officer’s suspicion and he opened tha bundle and found a .38 calibre revolver, a bunch .of skeleton keys and tools. King questioned the man, but could get no information from him. The man was given 12 hours to leave town, el CASTORIA which he promised to do. OPPOSITION CAUCUS.
