BROWN in WARLlkE MOOD
LAYS DOWN LAW TO "RING"
Superintendent Of Bridges Central Figure Of
Stormy Scene in Mayors Office
Rather Than Discharge Competent Men to Make Places
to Pay Political Debts He Resigns - Incidentally
He Pays Compliments to Mayor and His Methods

With Director Of Public Works
Courtade sitting in one corner of
Mayor Wilson's office at the City
Hall .,Supt. of Bridges Arthur Brown
in front Of the mayors guest table.
and Wilson himself seated behind the
table facing Brown, there was enact
ed yesterday a scene more stormy
than has taken place in the mayors
office since the last election.
It surpassed in dramatic intensity
the scene between Mayor Wilson and
Jim Burnes, the Fourth district aspir.
ant for appointment as director of
public works, when Burnes told the
mayor that he and the whole gang
mixed up with him could go to the
less to name here, when Burnes was
told he hadn't a look In for the job.
Mr.. Brown told Mayor Wilson that
he didn't propose to let any carpet
bagger'' make a sawdust man out of
him; that he wouldn't give his resig-
nation to Director Courtade, but to
the mayor himself, and that the only
punch in the eye.
Mr.. Courtade sat in silence while
the mayor brought into play all his
suavity in an effort to placate the
honestly indignant superintendent Of
bridges. But his efforts were unarail-
ing. Mr.. Brown wrote q resignation,
laid it contemptuously upon the may
ors desk and walked out Of the Of
fice
Already Browns resignation has af-
fected the bridge service. The Yell
low Mill bridge power plant is out Of
commission. At o'clock today there
was a. string Of trolley cars held up
mobiles and teams, were unable to
go through because of the. long delay
occasioned by opening the drawbridge
by hand. Nobody knows what's the
trouble.

ain. On the witness stand she told. in response to questions, the story of her brief and troubled matrimonial ca reer, which extended over a period of slightly less than two months, follow ing a runaway marriage. She was represented by Attorney w. A. King. Mrs. Robinson said she was married in AgawaIn, Mass, Sept. 6, 1909, and that she was 19 years of age at the time. She lived with her husband until No- veInber 2, leaving him because he drank so, he being intoxicated daily for the last three weeks she lived with him.
 Mrs. Robinson also said a grievance against him was that The works fairs, having girls doing indecent dances She said she has seen girls not decent ly clad standing outside his show tent Bhe said that she did not know that he drank until after she was married; also that she has not lived with him since the separation.
 Others who testified in Mrs Robin sons behalf and principally as to Rob inson's conviv1al habits, were Fred Lamarine, the plaintiffs brother and Mrs. Angeline Lsmarine Willimantic her mother; Frank Bennett, New Brit ain, he knowing Robinson well, and Constable William Hastings, Williman- tic. who had seen Robinson at the Willimantic fair.
 After hearing all the evidence, Judge Bennett said to Attorney King that the
 court did not feel that the charge of habitual intemperance had been proved against Robinson, and offered to allow ! continuance of the case, that MT King might have an opportunity to se- | cure additional evidence, which con | tinuance was finally agreed to- Following the Robinson case re-
 cess was taken at LIE until 2 o'clock.

PLAYGROUND PLANNED.
Congregational Pastor Would Have Breathing Spot for Mothers as Wei as Children.

At the recent meeting of the Con-
 gregational Brotherhood, among vari-
 ous matters brought up was the plan
 for a playground. This is Rev. Will
 jam s. Boards latest pet idea for the
 welfare of the children and mothers
 as well, for he proposed to have seats
 placed beneath the trees In the vacant
 lot on Valley street next to the Con-
 gregatioral church so that the moth
 CTS might rest and converse while
 their children were at play. Rev. MT.
 Beard hopes to have the large vacant
 lot transformed into a playground for
 the young folks, not Confining the use
 of the ground to those who attend the Congregational church, but to per-
 init all who desire to exercise there to do so.
 He wishes to have a handbaH court laid out. tennis and croquet courts, and a place for the boys to kick a football and throw baseballs, in fact, have an ideal recreation ground for the young people residing in the vii l cinity of the church, and any others who may wish to enjoy themselves l in a wholesome and harmless manner. Civil Engineer Homer R. Turner volunteered to survey the lot and es- | tablsh lines and grades for the pro- posed courts. This offer was applaud ! ed by the members of the Brotherhood ! as vas the pastors initial proposi-
 ticn to provide a playground.
 The brotherhood plans to take some | of the load from the shoulders of the pastor by assisting him in the work of l the management of the various boys | and young mems organizations affili- | ated with the church. The brotherhood
 will hold another supper and meeting
 toward the latter part of the month when matters of interest will be fur l ther discussed

 State Entomologist After Pest.

Donald J. Caffery, entomologlst of the Connecticut Experiment station, an nounces the discovery of the brown tail moth in the towns of Brooklyn and Plainield, two sections in this part of Windham county that have heretofore been considered free from this pest. The total number of nests located this week Is less than 200 but those found have served to prove that the moth has entered new territory and that prompt action must be taken to check it's spread, and if possible, entirely eradi- cate it. MT. Caffery and his group of assistants have been working in northeastern Windham county for about six weeks, but have not turned their attention to Brooklyn and Plain field until this week.
