They were found to be in fine condition, and what damage had been done was caused by ice in the winter. The water was turned on again at.3 o'clock Sunday afternoon andl how long it will take to fill the reservoir is not known. It took one week the last time it was emptied, as the res- ervoir holds 5,000,000 gallons. A pound‘and a half bass and several small fish were found in the reservoir when it was emptied. Will Keep Off Trespassers. The local police will help in en- forcing the new rule of the New Haven railroad of keeping people off the rail- road tracks and away from freight cars if they have no business there.

The Government Asks You To Practice Thrift “Thrift does not mean to be stingy—it does not mean to de- * prive yourself of anything that you desire or should have. _If “you deprive yourself of things you should have it is certain h cost you more in the long run, and that is why thrifty per- “sons make sure that their personal needs are fully taken care .of, but they also make sure that they secure fullest value for ‘the amount expended, and this event is one instance where “you get full 100 per cent. of value for every dollar spent. e = COMBINATION SKIRT AND COVER I $139t0$250 = NIGHT GOWNS 79¢, $1.00 to $5.98 COMBINATION DRAWERS AND COVER © 79c, $1.39, $1.69, $1.89, $2.25, $2.89 and $3.50 CORSET COVERS 29c and up to $1.48 CHILDREN'S MUSLIN UNDERWEAR QRS Bualic Petticosts..... 250} One ot of Emuglone: Ohemises. at: e A ne lot of Cors 5 Children’s :" in Night Gowns.. 59c|One ot of Long Skirts at.

Sold by reliable druggists in Thomas Tramonti, With Wife in Providence, Arrested For Living With Gid Who Had Left With Him Margh 17—Funeral of James C. Palmer—Getting Ready for Red Cross’ Drivée—Two Police Dogs Pur- chased. Thomas _Tramonti, Providence, was arrested Monday afternoon while at work in a mill here and locked up by Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Ayer at the police station. In the town court this morning Tramonti will have to face a charge of living here with a woman as his wife, while, it is alleged, he has a wife in Providence. The young woman was confronted here Monday afternoon by her father and one of her sisters, who had not seen her nor heard from her since she and Tramonti_ disappeared from Providence on St. Patrick’s day. ~She is a member of a good family and her father was greatly distressed over the circumstances under which his daughter had disappeared and the sister wept openly.

Planning For Red Cross Campaign At the Danielson inn Monday eve- ning there was a conference of Red Cross leaders and workers who are to be in active direction of the cam- paign that is to open here on May 20 and continue for one week. Plans for conducting the campaign were considered and there was every indi- cation that the' work will be carried forward here with enthusiasm under the direction of the district chairman, Clifford H, Starkweather. Every effort will be made to get the greatest possible number of persons to contribute something to the Red Cross fund. What will be asked at this time is outright giving. It will he different from loaning money to the government for a good rate of in- terest under the best security in the world. This time the person’s gen- {-rnsit.\' must come into play, for giv ing to the Red Cross cannot be con- sidered an investment in any/ other sense than doing a work of mercy to- ward the brave voung men who are fighting or are vet to fight this na- tion’s battles. All will be asked to give, not to loan. in this campaign and a person’s donation, taken in consid- eration with the amount of his world- Iy possessions. will be the gauge of generosity and a measure of how much one feels and responds for those who bleed_and suffer and die for the country. It has been suggested that one of the finest of zifts to the Red Cross would be Liberty bonds, this for those who can afford to do so much, and there are many such. Monday evening’s meeting was ar- ranged by J. Arthur Atwood, of the state organization, who will have per- onal supervision of the campaisn in castern Connecticut and who is in- tensely interested to see that this state does not lag behind other sec- tions of Connecticut in doing its full duty. One Hundred Less Dogs Registered. Town Clerk Frank T. Preston stated Monday afterncon that the registra- tion of dogs in the town of Killingly up to the present time is about 100 less than the number registered on the same date last year. Up to Mon- day 432 dogs had been registered. The falling off in the registration here shows about the same percetnage as in other Windham .county towns where the dogs have been kept in quarantine since last fall, in an ef- fort of the state commission on do- mestic animals to stamp out an epi- demic of rabies. Reports so far received from vari- ous towns indicate that there are at least 500 less dogs in this county to- day .than there was a year ago and the shrinkage in number may be far above that figure—only final figures will tell. BUYS POLICE DOGS Representative of Yonkers Munitions Firm Takes Two From East Killingly. Lou Penoquin, representing a big munitions concern, with an establish- ment near Yonkers, left here Monday morning for that place with two po- lice dogs secured from the Palisade Kennels at East Killingly. The dogs are to go on duty at once with the force of guards who, day and night, protect the big plant from lurking spies or others who would do damage to a concern that is_turning out its, war grist for Uncle Sam. The dogs have been especially trained for the work they are to do and equal a pair of guards in the care and protection they will give the plant, for they can scent a_stranger when a guard would miss him—and woe to the intruder that faces them when they are at work, for they are trained to fight a man when oppor- tunity warrants. though they are quiet and peaceful dogs when not set to their work. Henri 1. Baer, owner of the kennels, said Monday that he is meeting a con stantly inereasing demand from big plants that are engaged on war work for these pure-bred police dogs, for it has been found that they are capa- ble of renderine remarkably efficient service, especially on night duty, working in conjunction with -the guards, whom they come to know and never interfere with, though they per- mit no liberties exceptinz from those who have direct charge of them. Appointed to Bureau of Mines. Lester Craig, student at Brown uni- versity, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Craig, Winter street, is at his home here preparatory. to entering the ser- vice of Uncle Sam.

Twenty-six men have been notified to appear May 27-28 for their physi- cal examinations, by physicians of the lecal board, of which Dr. James B. Kent is chairman. Rush at Freight Yards. Congestion continues to be acute in the Putnam railroad yards, one of the busiest points on the entire New Ha- ven tem. The pressure of business here is so great that talk of extend- ing the yard, plans for which work have been in existence for eome time, is being revised. It is possible that the work may have to be undertaken to relieve the pressure of war business passing throuzh Putnam. one of the eight original transfer points on the New Haven system. Motorist Pays Fine. Charles P. Williams of Woonsocket, one of the automobile drivers who was held up here a week ago Sunday and ordered to appear in the city court Monday morning, May 6, and who failed to do so, put in an appearance Monday morning. He pleaded suilty to a violation of a minor provision of the automobile law and was fined $1 and costs, amounting to $10.5, by Judge M. H. Gelssler. Too Much Speeding, Complaints continue to come in rel- ative to the speedinz of automobiles on the Chepachet highway leading from this city into Providence. There have been several accidents, due to carelessness, on the route of late and numerous escapes from crashes. all due to speeders. One man had to drive his_car through the fence at the edge of Keac®'s pond to avoid being struck. A clean-up is due over that way for the racing bovs and it is coming to them promptly if all reports are to be taken at face value. Slackers Treated as Deserters, At the request of the iocal exemp- tion board, the attention of all county sheriffs, constables and police officers is being directed this morning to a provision of the selective service law that provides a reward of $50 for the apprehension of each man who has been posted as a deserter from ser- vice in the National Army, and all men are so posted and régarded as de- serters, whether citizens or aliens, if they have failed to comply with the law by returning questionnaires or otherwise neglecting the sovernment’s requirements relative to registering and performing the other obligations imposed upon them under the provis- ions of the selective service law. The government is anxious to round up all these deserters, of which there are some in every district, and officers will be_allowed compensation 'for ap- prehending such men and delivering them, through the local board, to Camp Devens. BELIEVE MISTAKE MADE Friends of Hugh Wilton Puz. aded Over Boston Item. . Local An item in a Boston paper relative to Hugh Wilton, formerly an instruc- tor at the Putnam Trade school, is as follows: On a charge of attempting to defraud the United States by sub- mitting a bill for payment to a mili- tary officer for 625 hours of labor, which is alleged to be in excess of the actual hours of labor, Hugh Wilton, a machinist at 87 Haverhill street, was held yesterday by UnitedgStates Com- missioner Hayes for trial May 21. Wilton has a machine shop and made tools for the Wright-Martin_Aircraft Corporation of Brunswick, N. J. It is felt by the many friends that Mr. Wilton has in this city that there is calling him. He ig one of several Brown men residents of Killingly who are serving with the colars. During the present week there is a special desire on the part of those here charged with the duty of in- creasing the food supply to induce many to start with their garden work.

Confidence is expressed here that an investigation of the case will bring full exoneration for Mr. Wilton and establish that a serious mistake has been made. Pomfret Man in Trouble, The following is from a Hartford paper: Robert A. Lowery, destribed as be- ing -of No. 345 Trumbull street, this city, ana who contends that his home is at Pomfret, was before Judge Fran- cis A. Pallotti in fhe police court yes- terday morning. charged with having failed to pay to the city of Hartford his personal tax on the October, 1917, list, which was payable on March 1 of the present year. When the judge ot through with him, Lowery had rea- son to believe his “dad.” the Pomfret officials or the officials in Hartford or some two of the three, had “put it across” on him. When called on to | answer he told the judge he had pail his tax in Pomfret. He neglected to pay a tax in this city on the 1916 list until he was cited to appear in court and then instead of paying the $2 per- sonal tax, he paid a total of $5.42. Re- cently he was at home in Pomfret and he said his “dad” told him he had better pay his personal tax there. He had paid it and he produced the re- ceipt. Judge Pallotti read it and call- ed attention that the receipt was for a “But it is dated, February 1, 1918," Lowery said. “Quite true,” said Judge Pallotti, “but the receipt shows that it is an! acknowledgment for payment of the| tax levied on Octeber 1, 1916 Lowery read and saw the jud; right, and consequently Lower: ognized he had paid a total of §10.42 on account of the $2 tax original levied on him. The judge decided that it was up to Lowery to pay a 1917} tax in this city with' the costs taxa- ble for failure to pay, and the total charged against Lowery was $8.42, making a total of $18.8. he had to pay instead of $4 as originally charged for two years' personal taxes.
