City C0nri-GeisSIer .Indge

Oscar Lawson of New York was be. fore the court Sa+urday morning and plead guilty to intoXication. He was fined S5 and ordered to pay Sl costs. He said he had been visiting in Pomfret and came to Putnam to make some purchases and while wait ing for his train back drank too much.
 Oscar Kinke of West Thompson was arraigned Monday morning charg- ed with intoXication and breach of the peace. He paid fine and costs amount ing to S25 %. The man was arrested by Officer Hayes near the Arch bridge where he was making disturbance and using vile language.
 There were two cases disposed of in the city court Wednesday morning both of them being noled by the pro. scouting attorney.
 The police got call from the Saw yer District about i0 o'clock Tuesday night from Mrs. Ellen Perry that her husband, John Perry, had made an assault upon neT. OHicefs Iofulef ana Hayes went to the Perry home and took the head of the house into custody. His wife failed to appear against him in the morning and the case was nolled by the payment Of sl costs. The Perry woman has police court record and she and her ihusband have frequently aired their domestic troubles in court.
 The other case was of young wom- an charged with breach of the peace. Officer Cordier received a complaint over the telephone that the young woman had been using abusive langu. age to a man. The officer thought the complaint was from another man of the same name and acted on his prom ise to appear and substantiate his charges in court. No appearance was made and as there was no evidence the case was nolled and the young woman discharged.

TRAFFIC OFFICER
Began His Duties At Bugbee Corner
 Saturday
Drivers OiVehieIes Receiving instructions
 in New Ordinance

Louis BeauSoleil, recently appointed traffic officer by the mayor acting with the police committee of the common council, assumed his new duties Satur- day afternoon. Hundreds of people watched the putting into effect Of the new rules and expressed themselves that the move Is one of the best made by the council in long time.
 For the most part the officer had it. tie trouble. Of course there were some drivers that did not realize on sight what the blue uniformed man was de- ing out in the middle of the street and did not know just what 10 do when he signalled them to make the long or short turn tut things went smoothly and the wisdom of having man sta toned at this dangerous corner during the time of the heaviest traffic was very soon apparent.
 One of the things thst k called for in the ordinance and one which is im- portanI lo the driver snd to the officer, but which so far has been lHtle ob- served, is the signalling with the arm in which direetion'the driver intends to proceed If drivers will observe this rule they will find they will get along much better and save the officer and themselves much trouble.
 The parking of automobiles in the restricted district between Front and Union streets was well observed. Only a few drivers had to be instructed in this feature. A printed pamphlet with the ordinance printed in it was freely distributed and doubtless soon all will be familiar with the require ments. For the present at least the of- ficer will come on duty at D. m. and remain until s or 9 Ut night according to the amount of traffic. On Saturday nights he will remain on duty till 10 or possibly I o'clock.
 Saturday there was a broiling sun; also Sunday, md Officer Beausoleil dressed in dou ble. breasted coat had about hll one Woulu tNaht ID ehuule from the heat. A light uniform has been orc cred which will give some re. lief in this direction. Alt in ali il is believed that the new regulations will prove most satisfactory once they are thoroughly understood and it is be. lieved that the drivers will try 10 co. operate with the officer that there may be as little delay as possible in getting the regulation ms to running smoothly, thereby accomplishing the purpose for which they were intended.

AUTO BACKS Down Leng Hill in Ph0enixyille with No Hand OH the Wheel Wild Rlde of 1hree Women Causes No
 Injury

An automobile party had narrow escape on the long, steep hill at Phe- nixville, Saturday afternoon, and for A few seconds the few people who saw the accident thought the ear would turn over and the three women on the rear seat would be badly injured if not killed. The car belonged 10 New Ha. ven parties.
 In the car were three women on the rear seat and one woman land the dri- yer on the front seat. They had reached the top of the hill, which is & very steep one and stopped in front of Robert k. Weeks home to get some water to put in the radiator of the car. The woman on the front seat and the driver alighted and the driver to be sure that the CAT would not start back wards started to pick up stone to block the rear wheels but before he could get the stone the car started and before any one could do anything it was rolling down the steep hill back wards, running wild with no one at the wheel. 1t ran from side to side and finally went up on the bank and almost tipped over and then continued or down the hill. Some of the time it was moving at a terrific rate of speed and then it would strike the bank and this would retard il some but it kept going all the time until il was about half way down the bill when the rear wheels went into the ditch and struck the bank just right so that it held and did not tip over. People who saw the car in it's wild flight were horror-strie- ken as they expected every instant to see it tip over and they are wondering how the car went back wards down the hill with no one to guide 1t and was not smashed and none Of the oceu- pants were injured. There was no damage done the machine and the women were not hurt although they were badly frightened and it was some time before they regained their com posture.
 The three women made frantic at. tempt to get the car doors open so they could jump out but they were un- able to do so for Il all happened so quickly that they had made the jour ney before they had time to gel the car doors open.

Big Series Starts Saturday

There Is all kinds of interest in the series of games arranged between Put nam and the strong Southpridge team. The first game will be riayed in south bridge Saturday and arrangements have been madeifor four big auto trucks to carry rooters to and from South bridge. These trucks will leave from in front of the City Hotel about 1 or quarter past. It would ae favor If those planning to go would give their names to MT. Cassent at the hotel so that some estimate of the transporta- ton facilities needed can be m ude
 There is one thing certain, Putnam rooters will have no reason to be ashamed of the team that Teddy Cas- sent who has taken the Putnam team under his wing is putting in the field. Just glance at the lineup and you can size up it's strength for yourself. Doe 5canion, formerly with the Brooklyns or Bedding of the Linceln Stars of Chi cago, one of the record holders of the season, will pitch Pickering former ly of the New York Americans or Wen- dell, now with the New York Giants, will catch Mccormick or Enst, 1b, Clineh or Irving, 2b, Buster Brown playing independent bnll around New York and New Jersey, 3rd, Page, ss, L'Hereux, If. Fallon, ess snd I.eddy or Cournoyer. rf Some lineup? IL is hoped that everyone that can go will be on hand. A try Is being made 10 llven up the sport and create new in- terest and life in 1t in Pstnam. ii II can be done there will oe some good games staged in this city before the season closes. The second game will be played here week from Saturday at big expense. The future Of base bail in Putnam will depend much np- on how this game is supported.

FIRST PRODUCTION Harry NJ. Morse < Co. Present New
 PIayIet
"Just Like Her Mother, the New Vehicle
 We'll KeeelYed

NEH ke1SNea
 There were good sized audiences at the Bradley theatre last Wednesday and Thursday, and the playlet, "Just like her mother, the new vehicle in which Harry Nj. Morse X Co. will be seen this season, was presented for the first time. The audiences took kindly 10 the little story of mixed humor and pathos, and the work of the trio, Mr. and Mrs. Morse and Miss Olive Alber- ia was warmly received.
 The new lplaylet Is somewhat of departure from the, aUncle Seth and the Hoodoo,n in which Mir. Morse and company has toured from coast to coast the past two years. It is of higher grade and finer quality and does not rely as much upon the "busi- ness" as in the overly Morded mono logue and dialogue. The playlet gives opportunity for some old fashioned costumes and quaint sayings. Of course the piece will receive grafting and pruning and pruning and graft ing until it reaches it's fnal state of perfection.
 Mr.Morse is one of thS oldest "rube' characters on the stage. The most no- tieeable feature of his work Is the nat uralness of it and its freeness from be- ing overdrawn to which many less ex- perienced comedians are prone. Miss Alberta has shown considerable im- provement in her dancing since seen here last and has gained confidence and grace. Her work was of high order and was received heartily. Mrs. Morse Is seen but not heard. her part calling for studied silence until the finish when she bursts out with, "And me too, Dave.n
 The little story uufolded Is of Dave, the horse trader his daughter, and Si- lent Sally. The scene Is laid in the kitchen of Dave's home. The daugh- ter is discouraged and dissatisfied with her lot and determines to leave and go to the city, and possibly upon the stage. As she is leaving Dave ia tell ing Sally, whom he wants to marry, but who has vowed not to speak until Bryan Is elected president, about his dead wife who was m .aetress, became dissatisfied with the lhumdrum life on the farm and left him with q stfelling player who later abandoned her. She returned, suffering from consumption, and he took her in and cared for her until her denth, The daughter, oyer- hearing story, comes slowly back, and as her fnther says of her, sShels just like her molher," she rushes to his arms and says, "No, "that she Is going to remain with him, and Silent Sally jumps into the limelight with her first speech and says, "And me too, Dnve."

 It will be noted that the assets on July IT, 1915, exceed those of Oct. l, 1914, by SS9, ,713.27. The state tax of 1.4 of l per cent since that time has amounted to S6, 743 24 and the running expenses to S2,904.S4 which added to the increase in assets make total Of S99, ,3e1. .35 which is the amount of in- terest the bank has received since Oct. l. The deposits remain the same at S2,747 ,297.2l leaving the net deficit at this time on the books ot the bank Ss,357.42 The interest due the bank on or before Sept. amounts to Aoout Sl0,o00 .00 which will cancel the deficit according to the appraisal of July 7, 1914.
 It will be noted that there is an in- crease of S20, ,60S.75 in the mortgage loans, an increase of S46,600 in the loans to towns and cities and that the bonds of towns and cities remain at S333, ,525 the same as on Oct. lst; also that the railroad bonds have not chang ed in amount, being s1,I72, 70O.
 The loan committee have considered every application which has been made to the bank for mortgage loans in this vicinity, and have authorized what they considered reasonable loan in every instance, bearing in mind that the Connecticut Statutes limit the amount which the bank can loan to 50 per cent of the appraised value of the property. They have also granted all applications for loans from this and surrounding towns and all loans on approved collateral security.
 On Sept. 2l, 1914, the trustees voted to loan depositors on their pass'books at the rate of per cent per annum mp to 5000: at per cent from S2OO 10 s5OO; and at 6 per cent from S500 to sl,00O, in no case loaning over 50 per cent of the amount on book or over LOGO The loans on pass books now amount to S145, ,756 9S. The depositoFs who nave borrowed have done so, in nearly every case. to supply q business re- quiTemenl or personal need. The ma joFiiy of the loans sare in amounts oi less than s200 and there are only three who have borrowed up 10 the limit oi SI,000 By this plan those who needed part of their deposit to use could se- cure the same by paying moderate interest rate, which provided another source of income to the bank and heip- ed to hasten the day when il could re- sume dividends.
 The loan committee recommend that fhis plan be continued for the present,
