BRANF

Special Journal-Courier News Service. )
 Branford, Nov. 17-Several residents of the eastern section of the town have been recent sufferers from the visits of poultry thieves. A few days ago, William H. Kelsey, who lives wei to- ward the Guilford town line, lost q number of fowls and during the past week the hennery of another man ol the same district was robbed oflatout half hundred inmates. Tt seems a matter of regret that the marauders are pushing their operations in the d. rection of Branford borough rather than the opposite, for should they con tinue their nefarious business until East River hamlet Is reached, the fate of the man who was fatally shot by a farmer of that village last spring might be their lot.
 Quite a number of Branford people attended the lecture given by Hon Michael J. Tanning in one of the New Haven Methodist churches this even ing. MT. Tanning is the speaker whc was at the Branford Congregations church on Wednesday evening of last week

ACCIDENT NOT FATAL
Man Pinned Beneath Church Street
 Car Not Seriously Injured.

Many who witnessed the accident on Church street at midnight Saturday. when Leon Powers, of 50 Whalley avenue, was pinned beneath the fem der and wheel of a trolley car, be- lieved that the accident had been fa- tai Except for bad chin gash he is apparently uninjured, and it was given out last night at the New Haven hos pital, to which he was removed by ambulance, that his recovery is a mat ter of but short time
 The man was pinned beneath the car for five minutes, and 1t was neces- sary to raise the forward truck before he could be removed. No blame is attached to the motorman for the ac- cident.
 The fact that Powers wore a Princeton band upon his sleeve gave rise to the rumor that he was a Princeton college man, but this is not so.

.COLLECE PLAYS TONIGHT IN COLLEGE STREET HALL French, German and Spanish Dramatics Will Attract
 Crowds.

A triple. combination of plays in Freeneh, German and Spanish will bs given by the Yale Dramatic associa- ton fin College street hall at S:15 this evening. Judging from the work done by the members of the casts in prep- aration for this performance and from the criticism of Mr. Short the energetic coach of the association to-night's pro- ductton promises to be the best ser formance of this type ever given in New Haven.
 In the past when the French and German plays were given separately there were many disadvantages which are done away with in the combina- ton of these with the Spanish comedy. During the past month the actors have had excellent coaching by Dr. ScheviIl. Thomas Achelis, 1908, and c. R. Hop- kins, the president of the association last year, The scenery for tonight ia probably the best that has ever been seen in College street hall The maKe- up man will be Oscar Bernes, of New York, who has of1iciated in this capac- |ity at all the productions of the asso- citation for the past four years. The order of the plays and the selec. tions to be rendered by the University orchestra under the leadership of Ira D. Tompkins is as follows: Spanish dancer-Mowskowsk ''El Doctor y Fl Enferino."
 Die Schone Helene" Offenbach.

MR.. HARRIS ON THE ROAD QUESTION

Fredericksburg, Va. April 3. 1907.
To The Free Lance:
In your account of the proceedings at
April Spotsylvania Court | notice you
say Judge Mason declined the urgent re-
quest OF the Board OF Supervisors for an
election on the question rs TO whether
the county shall sell $4,000 in bonds
for road building purposes. As have
said several times before, we are not yet
ready for an election. Therefore, !
commend the Judgment Of the court and
compliment his action. and | assume TO
say no nan in the county or this town
puts q higher value on good roads and
streets than does Judge Mason. and that
he will do all the Office authorizes him TO
do for the betterment Of our travel con-
ditions both in the county and the
town. Before we ask for an election on
the bond question we want our next leg
islature to amend our road laws. Then
we want the road board to outline to
the voters plan for making roads. the
how. the when, the where. the cost; then
the voters can decide intelligently what
TO do. personally want the best road
we can get, bnt do not intend to make
any statement in the matter that ] may
have to take back and win continue to
do what | can to get thecounty roads at
earliest possible date.
At the regular meeting OF the road
board on March 4th | offered simple,
practical plan, worked out in detail. At
the meeting on March 2Sth urged a
serious consideration OF the plan. On
the streets Of this town we fully demon
strated more than we had claimed Tor
the road drag, andso soon as we can get
the teams will show the good office OF
the drag on some of the country roads.
Yours for good roads,
Thos. H. Harris.
