WICHAEL ROFRANO SOUGHT IN CITIES OF THE MIDDL.E WEST Greatly execised over the failure of the police to find Michael A. Rofrano, former deputy street cleaning com- missioner of New York city, under in- dictment as alleged procurer of the murder of Michael ‘Giamari, the city administration“of New York decided (o place a price on Rofrano’s head. The Rofrano case has stirred New York political circles to its depths. It is charged that Rofrano‘ was. behind a plot to kill former Sheriff Tom Folay and Congressman Riordan, both pron inent . members of Tammany Hail Rofrano, who is quite wealthy, want- ed:togo to ongress himself.. If Ro- frano is caught startling developments nre promised at his trial. It is announced that' Germany now has representatives in this country seeking a large loan from financiers.

Bear has 40 police dogs in training at the Palisade“kennels near East Killingly. Miss . Mildred V. Benedict of Wor- cester visited friends in Danielson on Wednesday. Judge W. F. Woodward presided at a session of\the town court Wednes- day morning, a man being fined for in- toxication. 4 Undergoes Operation. Dr. George M. Burroughs. was op- erated upon at the New England Bap- ist hospital, Boston, where he ‘has been receiving treatment for ‘two weeks. The operation was a success and advices are that his condition is favorable. A twin boiler heating system is to be installed in the state armory. The work of changing the heating plant is to_begin at once. H. H. Starkweather and Ray W. Pellet were among the Danielson men who had special exhibits at the Brook- yn fair Wednesday. Quarter to the Fair Ground. Twenty-five cents was the rate made for carrying passengers from Danielson ito the fair at Brooklyn Wednesday, ‘and more than a score of machin joined in harvesting the quarters. To the credit of the drivers it may be said, there was very little reckless driving. Schools in Danielson were closed during Wednesday to allow the puplis to attend the fair at Brooklyn, an op- portunity that was embraced by 'a great many of them. Street improvement work that is now under way may, when completed, de- velop some draining problems that will need attention. Storms such as those of the past summer may mean flooded cellars. Frosts were reported from .various sections in Killingly Wednesday morn- ing, although in. the borough - there were many places that were untouch- \ OBITUARY. Miss Grace L, Filer. Miss Grace Lillian &iler, 29, who died in a hospital at Portsmouth, N. H., following a surgical operation, was formerly a resident of Attawaugan and was a graduate of Putnam' High school. She was an exceptionally bril- liant young woman, a teacher by incli- nation and profession, and had won special honors. Her untimely death is a_cause of sorrow for many friends in this town and towns hereabouts. A special effort will be made during the next two days to impress those who have made applications to be made vot- ers that it is really their duty to be present pext Saturday when the select- men meet to examine the qualifications of those who wish to be admitted to the electorate. Politicians Hustling. The candidates for selectmen in Kil- lingly are not making many predictions as to their chances of election ‘s week from Monday, but they are a very busy group, nevertheless, and are ‘“seeing” their friends as regularly as. said friends can_be found. The canvass follows the line of personal interviews and candidates and close friends are working hard. A few votes admitted- ly will mean defeat or victory for at least three of the cangidates, for it is generally conceded that the totals of the candidates are going to be close. Fire in Bakery Building. The fire department was called out Wednesday morning on an alarm for a blaze in the Cohen bakery . building south of Franklin street, near the rail- road ard on the Poirier property. The fire had gained considerable headway before the department could reach the scene, and the interior of the building was considerably damaged. The loss by the fire will be severely felt by the proprietor. ;| The building will be re- paired at once ahd business resumed. Will Speak in Town Meeting. It is understood that some citizens are making-a careful study of town reports with a view to talking in town meeting on the sybject of putting Kil- lingly on a basis of doing business un- der which it will have enough revenue to meet its current expenses and pre- vent a further increase in debt. What methods will be suggested in addition to others previously mentioned remains to be seen. The meeting promises to be an interesting one.. RUMORED MILL PURCHASE By Prominent Cotton Manufacturer— Large Addition Predicted. Rumors persist that negotiations are going on for the purchase of one of the important mills in- Killingly by a well known cotton manufactyrer who has done much for textile centers in east- ern Connecticut. There is also a story that a large addition, is to be built to another mill that is developing a very prosperous business. These . stories listen well,” whether they forecast prompt industrial expansjon here or not, but there seems to he a feeling in usually well informed quarters that the whisperings are not far wrong. It is known that an offer was made some time since for one of the mills of the town by a well known manufac- turer ang it is also well known that another concern has been talking ex- pansion for a year past. Certain con- ditions, however, and certain circum- stances that 'must be given the.most careful consideration before the great amount of money that would be in- volved in making the changes and-im- provements bave up to the present time delayed the making ~f any public an- nouncement about intended plans, al- though privately. what these plans.are ave been disclosed to a number of ‘persons here: - Killingly may as well be cheerful. Its industries are doing very well now, and better things may be just ahead. * Mohr-Gartland Engagement Announced Mr. and Mrs. Herman L. Mohr an- nounced ‘the engagement Tuesday of their daughter, Grace Ernestine, of Bridgeport, to Francis Edward Gart- land of Bridgeport, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Gartlan, of Danielson.

The work to be done covurs a wide fleld in ‘various parts of the city, and already the improvements have begun. At the present time two gangs of men are at [ work, one on Union street in the busi- ness section and the other on Smith street. It is expected that the whole work ‘will be completed before cold Weather sets in and that when finished the streets will be in the best condi- tion they ever were in. " Seven New Cottages. A 'local firm is rushing the con- struction of seven cottages on Sunny- side Heights for-the Eclipse Manufac- t comvany, to be occupled by families of their employes. This is the most important building project that been undertaken in some time. Other building now going on includes the erection of a rectory for St. Mary's church and a business block at the corner of Church and Providence streets. Has Reached New Brunswick. Friends .of Landlord E. C. Rogers of the Putnam inn have feceived word that he has reached the wilds of New. Brunswick, where he recently went on his annual hunting trip. Mrs. Emma Taft of Uxbridge, Mass., is the guest of the Misses Elien and Mary Wheelock of Church street. NON-SUIT MOTION GRANTED Case of Eastford Man Driving Accident. In Injured in The case of Joseph Keeley vs. the town of Eastford was trled to a jury in the superior court in Putnam Wed- nesday. The Plaintiff claimed that the town was negligent in that a road roll- er was left staniding in the highway near a bridge in Phoenixville, in the town of Eastford, and that a horse of a man with whom the plaintiff was riding was frighteneq thereby, and that he was thrown out against a wire fence and that the loss of an ear and other injuries resulted. Fifteen thousand dollars damages were claimed. On cross examination the driver of the horse - admitted that he passed the roller in the morning and that his horse became frightened and that he got out and led it by the obstruction. He also stated that on his return he might have gone by a different route and that he took a chance, thinking that the horse on the homeward trip would pass the roller without difficulty. The plain- tiff rested just before the non recess and the defendant’s counsel moved for & .non-suit, and the arguments on the motion lasted until 4 o'clock. It was claimed by the defendant that the plaintiff had not made out a prima facia case. That he knew of the dan- ger and took a chance and that it was not the duty of the town of Eastford to remove the roller, as the road was a state trunk line and wholly under the control of the state. In granting the non-suit the court stated that it was strongly impressed at the close of the plaintiff's case that plaintiff had failed in the essential element, that plaintiff wils in the exercise of due care. Judge Webb said that it seemed clear that the driver of the horse had rushed into danger with his eves open to the con- sequences, as his knowledge of the sit- uation in the morning was a “powerful warning.” In regard to the other point claimed - by the . defendant's " counsel, tkat the road was.a trunk linie and un- der the (supervision: of the state, ‘the plaintiff falled to allege and show that the town was bound to keep it in re- pair. The motion was granted. Rev. Mr. Partridge Leaves Portsmbuth A recent issue of a Boston paper had the following relative to Rev. Wells M. Partridge. Mr. PartrMge is a grad- uate of the Putnam High school and is the son-in-law,of Mr. and Mrs. Chaun cey Morse of Grove street: Rev. W. M. Partridge, rector in charge of St. John's Episcopal church, Portsmouth, N. H. for the past six months, has concluded his duties and returned to his home in Wollaston. Since coming to St. John’s, Mr. Par- tridge has labored untiringly for the good of the parish. His work for the men at the naval prison and the de- tention ship Southery resulted in his administering the rite of baptism to many in the service. It is not known whether he will return ' to St. John's as the permanent rector, but it is the wish of the parishioners that he do so. Buys 80 Acres of Land, Harriett E. Keach has purchased a large tract of land near the Little river from the George M. Morse estate.

Through Southern Trans-Cauca- and of Considerable Strategic Value. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.—In view of the unrest all along the Russo-Per- sian boder, which, according to press despatches, has grown more .intense with each passing month of the war, a sketch of Russia’s new route, a rajl- way route, into Persia, takes on con- €iderable timely interest. Thi lige, planned and constructed previous to the ar, when Russia's | interest reached out beyond southern Transcaucasia into the northern parts o fthe weakening and wildly-governed territories of the Shah, s described in a bulletin just issued by the Na- tional Geographic Society. As roads in Transcagicasia are built upon the Spanish principle of keeping people off of them, this line of track has a most important bearing upon the mainten- ance of order at the boundary. The bulletin reads: “There are two routes from Europe to Teheran. One through Russia to Baku, thg oil city on the Caspian, thence by steamer to Resht, and, fin- ally, by road to the Persian capital, a road built and kpet up Ly Russia. This route is the older route. The secoud way. made possible by railway con- struction through southern Transcau- casia which, today, has consfderable strategic value, is the product of re- cent Russian labors. The traveler by this route sets out from Tiflis, the capital of the Causasus, takes a terin south over Alexandropol and Erivan, thence to Nakhitchevan, the first city founded by Ncah after abandoning the Ark upon neighboring Ararat, and, passing down the valley of the Araxes, where the Armenians place Eden, he passes the International boundary at Djulfa. From here, the traveler goes by another Russian road to. Tabriz. “Conditions of travel upcn the Nak hitchevan rallway are very discourag ing to people inexperienced in Russian branch lines. The trains seldom arrive or leave anywhere according to sche- dule, and their progress js deliberate in the extreme. The way lies through a country Intensely hot during a great part of the year, and the cars used on the line are constructed after the most advantageous manner for catching and retaining all possible heat. Moreover, the fares are cheap and the way is patronized heavily by swarms of Asia- tics. malordorous and neighborly. “The trains, in pre-war days, had a way of leaving important stations be- tween three and six o'clock in the mornings. The wayside stations were miserable shanties, where wildest con- fusion reigned. Buying tickets at the small hovels, which housed the ticket- offices, meant the business of a free- for-all fight in the midst of a jostling crew of excited Orientals. Moreover, one must go with the crowd on this line to the Persian border, because no first-class carriages are operated there- on. Among other dJdrawbacks, one soon has the knowledge forced upon him that his fellow passengers are verminous. “The cars are dirty. They are old, uncomfortable, and ili-ventilated. The seats are narrow and covered with white canvas, the covering usually turned brown and yellow with accum- ulations of evidence from the hands and clothing of the railway’'s patrons. The third-class cars resemble the American bo-car. only they are much smaller. Both .the second-class. and the third-class cars are generally Da‘cked as tightly as space will per- mit. Much of the scenery along the way is very beautiful. The way through the Araxes valley, wide at first and, farther on, marrowing between ridging mountains, lies.. in the beginning, through an inviting country of vine- vard and orchard. Farther toward the Persian border, the country - be- comes desolate. Stations are few, and for the most part, are mere wood- en sheds or disused freight cars. Gap- ing Tartar and Persian throngs lounge before them "to see the occasional trains pass. At all stations, one sees the frontier-guarding Cossacks and blue-clothed Russian police. At each station, the train of peace-time stop- ped at least a half an hour, and, often, longer. From Ulukhanlu, the interior end of this last lap of the border rail- | way, to Djulfa is a distance of about 145 miles. In case of difficulties in her district along the Persiar boundary, Russia could throw protecting forces nto thsi region in short order over her recent railway.” Norfolk.—On opening the building | Tuesday Station Master Van Burkirk of Norfolk discovered that one of the windows in the wailting room had been broken open during the night and an unsuccessful attempt had been made’ to ‘break into the cash drawer in the public telephone booth. .
