ARRESTED IN PROVIDENCE —— Youth Named Smith, Who Stole Tick~ ets From Windham Station. Acting Chief Dantel Killourey re- celved a telophone message from Providence Tuesday afternoon that-a young man named Smith residing on High street this city had been arrest- ed and was being held there until the local authoritles could send for -him. The young man broke into the Wind- ham station and sole a2 number of railroad tickets befors he made his departurs_from these parts. He ar- rived in Providence Monday night on a freight train. The mother of the young man was at the local station house Tuesday morning, asking for her boy. An officer will be sent to Providence today to bring the man back to Willi- mantic. Concert Deferred. On account of the difficulty in transporting a grand piano because of the freight embargo, the concert to have been given in this city by Char- Birdge was lodged in the local tation ouse where to await the acrival of of- ficers from Brooklyn, N. Y., where he is wanted for grand larceny. Saturday rnoon Acting Chief Killouvey received a telephone mes- sage from a_detective agency in New Haven that Birdge, who is but 18, was wanted. The New Haven authorities stated that the young man had pur- chased a motorcycle in that city and had started out for this vicinity. Tues- day afternoon Officer ~Hurley saw standing on Main street a motorcycle that resembled the description given by the New Haven authorities. In the machine was a young lady and _the wanted man. At the sta house Birdge denied all _knowle of the charge but when he was searched. it was. discovered that he had nearly three hundred dollars about his per- son. Birdge told the police that he had come to this city Friday going to Gurleyville where he has been staying with a family named Wells. The voung lady who was with him at the time of his arrest was told of the cir- cumstances and she returned to her home.

There is a heavy enalty for_those who fail or neglect to register. This is the first step taken in connection with the selective draft to raise a large army .for the United States. Guarantors to Meet. There will be a meeting of the guarantors of the Stafford Chautauqua at the Congregational chapel this (Wednesday) evening. T. W. Morrall was in Hu.r(lrrd on business Tuesday. Everybody Gardening. Work in the Stafford home gardens indicates that this town is fully alive to the seriousness of the food situation and will do its mite toward relieving the shortage. People who have not had gardens for years and many who have never pianted a seed are trying their luck in growing garden truck this vear. There appears to be a similar spirit throughout the county and it looks as though Tolland county will give a good account of {tself in an agricultural way this year. WARM WEATHER HELPS : HOME GARDEN WORK Fine of a Hundred Dollars For Tam- pering With or Stealing Crops. The home garden work In this city is progressing more satisfactorily since the warm weather has set in and many of the gardeners are busy planting. The Huntington plot is now all ready for seed, having been ploughed, har- rowed and cut up into small plots. Under an act passed by the legis- lature on the final day of its session, it will be a dangerous proposition for anyone to tamper with gardens or WORKING 150 FEET BELOW THAMES RIVER Compressed Air Squad Preparing the Foundation For Drawbridge Piers. In connection with the work on the new drawbridge which the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. Co. is having built across the Thames river, there is one form of activity that is not visible but that is very fmportant to the success of the structure. Be- low the surface of the river there is employed a force of compressed air workers, sometimes known as “sand hogs.” There are about 50 of these men. On them devolves the making of the foundation of tae plers that are to bear the weight of the huge super- structure. Any one who Is familiar with the bottom of the Thames. river will understand that it is necessary to £0 down a long distance to find sta- bility in the way of a fopndation for the piers and the compressed air men are down 150 feet working away in preparation for the laying of the piers. The men enter an air lock, which is locateq above the surface of the river, and then pass through a narrow shafi to the caisson that is sunk at the bot- tom of the river. They usually make the trip up and down in the bucket that is used to haul materlals to the surface, but there is an emer- gency ladder that can be used in cise of any trouble with the holsting ap- parat: In order to work at that depth it is necessary to employ compressed air, and there is a pressure of from 30 to 40 pounds employed to keep the water out. Working under such con- ditions is quite different from being employed on the surface of the earth, and the men are usually relieved in from an hour to an hour and a half from the time that they make the de- scent. There is room at the boitom for eight men at work and by making shifts, operations can be kept up most of the time. Of course artificial light has to be furnished, and the condi- tions would be very strange to any one who has not been used to that kind of labor. The compressed air workers are familiar with such vironments, and they seem to find no difficulty in meeting the peculiar re- quirements of the job. A reporter was talking with two of the men recently and one of them stated that he had been doing that kind of work 17 vears and his companion said he nad been at it for 14 yvears. Both were very healthy looking specimens and it is evident that they have not suffered physically from their labors. In the caisson there is a lever at- tached to the whistle at top of the air lock, which the workers use for a signal. Hidden away from the people who pass p and down the river and those who cross on the old bridge, the compressed air men are putting down a foundation that will stand the welght that will have to be supported when the big lift is in position and the heavy trains are running over the new structure. SHABUOTH. Festival of Weeks Falls on May 27th Encyclopaedia Britannica W‘E have decided to undertake the preparation of a New Volume to be added to the present 29 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition. The New Volume will be devoted to the war and will have the effect of bringing the information in the Encyclopaedia Britannica down to the date of the conclusion of peace. It will contain a full and authoritative account of the historical ‘background out of which the war sprang, with special reference to the political, social and racial conflict of interests of all the nations concerned. It will give exhaustive treatment to the progress of the war, step by step and in all countries. It will show the immediate results of the war not only on the mil tary side, but on the economic side as well, and it will thus enable the reader to foresee its ultimate results in the readjustments that will follow in all nations. The war’s geographical resulss will also be fully dealt with, and new maps, to take place of present ones, will be given wherever there are changes in present boundaries. ‘The new volume will be written on the same high level of au- thority, comprehensiveness and imEartiality which has always dis- tinguished the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and which has made its pronouncements on any controversial subject of unique value to the reader. ‘The editor will take especial care to give readers a judicial account of the war, and will exercise such control over the contributors that the narrative will be free from partisan feeling and national prejudice. | ‘Those who will be asked to contribute will be writers of the same | standingand qualifications as those who wrote for the Britannica itself. l ‘The magnitude of the war, in which practically all countries are directly concerned, makes it necessary that its history should be treated with the high authority that can only be attained by em- ploying the incomparable resources of the Britannica I for the putting into concrete and authoritative form, for readers and for posterity, of the facts of a chapter of history which ! will be of immeasurable influence on the future of civilization every- I i § it also calls t-da where in the world. The War Volume will be, in fact, a complete reference work on the greatest war of history, and in its own field just as good a book as the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The New Volume will not only give a fair, unbiased and full account of the war itself—how it started, how it was fought, t f changes and innovations it brought about—but it will also deal with the results of the war outside the sphere of fighting. Particular i attention will be given to those economic factors in the present war [} which have led to the adoption by all the belligerents of new meas- I ures to safeguard their national welfare. . Articles will also be writ- ! the ten to tell of any new discoveries or progress in industrz and science. For instance, in surgery, aviation, submarine warfare and public hygiene there have been developments of primary importance. | These and any other advances in knowledge will be fully dealt with, | This will virtually make the New Volume a su; edia Britannica itself. Whether peace shall be made this | year, next year, or the year after, the additional new matter will bring the contents of the Britannica abreast of the world’s knowledge as it stands when peace has been made. lement to the ‘The date of publication will bz as soon as possible after the end of the war. THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA, P r/wfl\ President. P. S.—We have received hundreds of letters asking about this New Volume since a newspaper paragraph announced that it was to be published. We therefore now wish to inform all owners of the Britannica that they will in dus course be notified of the date of.publication. | This New Volame will be issued in bindings to match their acts, whether they bought The Cambridge University issue or the Iow-priced “Handy Volume” Issue, and the price at whieh it will be sold to owners of the Britannica will be the same as they peid per volume for the set of the Britannica | which they elresdy ewn. 1 ALMOST got acquainted WITH A charming man ata DINNER PARTY last evening but . | steal crops which others are growing, for a bill was passed by concurrent action of both houses, providing a fine of not more than $100, imprisonment originally related to the agricultural life of ancient Israel.
