Score il to in WiiIimantic's Favor
 Tn Rather Tame Contest.

Willimantic forged to the fore in the race for the pennant fin the Con nectfcut Baseball association Satpr- day afternoon by defeating New Lon don. on Windham field in a game that was somewhat listlessly played and in no-wise a hard one for the Colts to win as they did not have to extend themselves at all
 The Whalers were considerably off form and seemed to be just playing because they had to. Loveday started the game in the box for the visitors but was an easy mark for the heavy sluggers of the local outfit. Eight hits were made off him in three innings. He was replaced by Bowers in the fourth. and the locals. having such a commanding lead. did not take ad- vantage ofe.ta broken armed pitcher and fattened up their batting aver ages as they might have done with ease. They got five, hits off him in five innings and annexed four more runs. Four of the five bingles came in the eighth. just to let him know that he looked just the same as Love day and the rest of~the staff that they have been pounding all over the lot in

DANIELSON
Project to Safeguard Children by Gen. soring Moving Pictures-Much Grim inaI Business on September Docket News in General

A censorship of moving picture shows is being advocated for DanieIson, not with any intention of placing embar- raising restrictions on the business, but for the purpose of eliminating and guarding against a certain class of reels that are believed the country over to be responsible for the com mission of Various misdeeds by young people who get their inspiration to do indfscreet and unlawful things from scenes depicted on the strips of film.
 Warren w. I. Bullard is favorab to the plan. and is of the opinion that the desired result may be brought about without friction or in any way injuring the business. The probabilities are that the suggested change would be to the advantage of the owners of the shows, inasmuch as any parent could feel safe that children permitted to go to see the pictures would view nothing objectionable.
 Warden Bullard suggests a commits sion, not necessarily of the court of burgesses, but perhaps of citizens or of both to act as censors. He does not believe the suggested plan would be difficult of satisfactory execution and thinks it might be possible to put the bars up against a certain class of sug- gestive pictures by conference and the reaching of an understanding with the managers of the shows as to just what is considered objectionable.
 It is proba ole that the matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the borough officials.

PUT NAM
Antonio De Fiiippio in Jail in Default of $500 Bonds-Heid for September Term for Assault and Theft-Putnam Loses to Tri-ViIlage, 5-4.

Probable cause for holding Antonio De Fflippio for the September term Of the superior court was found Saturday morning. when the prisoner was pre- sented in the city court, charged with felonious assault on Patsey Leo on the night of July 16, and also with rob- ping Leo of $15. Judge Fuller fixed the amount of the bond at $500, in default He was represented in court by Attor- ney Vincent Brogna of Boston. No defense was made, however.
 Leo testified that on the Saturday in July when he claims the robbery was committed he came to Putnam from Grosvenordale, where he is employed, to get money order for s75 to send to Italy. He had borrowed $50 of the amount from Antonio Leo, also Of GrosV enordale, but no relative of the plaintiff.
 When he reached Putnam nc found that the money order division at the postoffice was closed and that he could not secure the desired order. From the postoffice he went to the saloon in the rear of the Putnam inn and remain ed there for a time, meeting De Filippio, whem he had known for years.
 The party left the saloon to get a car for Grosyenordale; while waiting for it to come along he walked with De RiHppio to drink bottle of beer near the railroad bridge over Front street. While there a discussion arose betWe en the two men about a family affair. Leo alleges De Filippio struck him and kicked him and tore his coat, in an out side pocket of which he was carrying the s75 in bills, wrapped up in hand kerchief. The prisoner ran up the bank and through the railroad yards after the fight. Leo felt for his money, which he is positive he had just before the fight commenced, but 1t was gone from the torn pocket.
 Arthur D. Lasher, an operator in the railroad tower. Michael Duportier. Charles Ryan and John Ferns, all of this city. were in court IS witnesses of some feature of the fracas beneath the bridge.
 Attorney Charles L. Torrey was counsel for Leo.
