NO SHORT WINTER COURSE AT SI10nros ULLCGE, 1918-20 The administration of Connecticut Agricultural College, Storrs, has de- cided not to hald * ~~ual short winter course in agriculture this ¥y Crowded Cuuu.veu - e state school are responsibie for the decision. The short winter course was insti- tuted some years ago to meet a de- mand for instructions in agriculture on the part. of farmers and young men and women from the farms who could not aff~-a nr expense of a regular course. The course ¢ sisted 0. cigue we-ne wesn -and was usually held in January and February. For the first time all dormitory accommodations of the college are crowded.. So great was the request for entrance to the college courses this fall, nearly fifty applications had to be refused. KEvery available room on the campus was pressed into serv- ice, in addition to several private homes in the vicinity which were re- centiy purchased by the college. Applcations rceived last fall - for entrance to the college courses ‘were about 75 per cent. greater than in prvious years. The increase is at- tributed largely to the advertising which the. college received through its war activities, as well as during the i international egg-laying contests. SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND R, R.

Both pleaded guilty ana Judge C. B. Waller deferred sentence. The assault on Brown took place during the strike of the trolleymen on the Shore Line Electric Railway com- pany last summer. Brown, who was employed as an alleged strikebreaker on one of the cars, got off his car at Stonington on the last trip from West- erly on the night of Aug. 24 and was assaulted by four men. Serjeka and Baluta were two of the four alleged assailants. August Jas- kowski was a third, and the fourth man escaped without his identitv be- ing ascertained. Jaskowski pleaded zuilty to the charge in a lower court and in the court of comm-n pleas last week he also entered a plea of guilty, was sentenced to 90 days in jail and sentence suspended. A Westerly attorney made a nlea for leniency for Sejerka and Baluta. He stated that neither 'of the two accused were active in the assault, the un- known being the aggressor and Ser- ‘eka and Baluta merely acting in self- Aefense. Attornev Dunn read several ‘eiters to the’court from nrominent | citizens in Stonington attestin> to the mood character of the two men and »rged that the ends of jusitce wonld he served by the imposition of a fine: Tn the lower court the men had each been. sentenced to 90 davs in fail.
