PARK IMPROVEMENTS.
Thread Company's Pleasure Grounds
to Be in Fine Shape Before Old
School Week.

According to a statement made by
officials of the local plant of the Amer
lean Thread company, Friday, they
are going to exert every effort to have
Recreation park, the site of the old
fairgrounds, in the best of shape be-
fore Old Home and School week. A
rogue court will be built near the river
banks, QUOT courts are now being
laid out, as is a jumping pit for pole
vaulting. The baseball diamond is in
fine shape now, and the old diamond is
being overhauled. In addition swings
and other appliances will be put up
in the park and it is the hope of the
company that the public will take
much pleasure there. The games, of
course, will be under the supervision
of the company, but they state that
the park is for the public use, and
there are many pleasant spots for pic
nicl1ing, etc.
new entrance way to the park is
to be made going through the TRAN
gular shaped lot bounded by Main and
Factory streets, SO that there will be
but one entrance to the grounds. The
plans call for the removal of the
house standing near the entrance, and
the closing of Factory street as a thor
oughfare. This will make a larger
park and add to it's attractiveness.

BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION

Special Committees,

The directors of the Putnam Bust
ness Mems association at a meeting
held at the Putnam inn prepared a
statement of principles and a pro-
gramn1e for the year which will be
published soon, and offered for adop-

Suffrasists Interested in Hartford
Convention.
Members of the Putnam Equal Fran
chise league are much interested in the
convention of the Congregational union
to be held at Hartford June SO. The
object of the convention is to organize
support in Connecticut for the Susan
B. Anthony amendment to the federal
constitution. Since 1913, suffragists
throughout the country have been
working to secure such an amend
ment, which was defeated, however, at
the last session of congress. The gain
in strength in both house and senate
was so great, nevertheless, as to en-
courage the workers to new effort and
the claim is that the amendment will
be approved in the sixty-fourth con-
gress if the percentage of increase in
strength can be maintained. 1t is on
the subject of the convention that An
lie G. Porritt and Katherine B. Day,
both of Hartford, are expected to
speak here next week.
Young Thieves Cases Disposed Of.
Worcester papers of Friday reported
upon the disposition of cases of young
men who have been in the Worcester
Jail for several months on charges of
breaking and entering and other Of
lenses of minor Importance
This gang is the same that broke into
the store of Milot & Williams in the
PeIoquin block on Elm street during
the winter and stole goods to the value
of several hundred dollars. Their WIS.,
itation was repeated, and on one occa-
sion they left four suit cases packed
with stolen articles under a small
building near the tracks in the rail-
road yards. 1t was hoped to catch
them when they returned for the Sc
GREETED goods, but this plan did not
work out.
With the arrest a few days later in
Worcester, where the young men were
wanted to answer for other crimes, a
series of breaks in towns all through
this section suddenly ceased, nor have
there been any since.
One of the young men was sentenced
to serve two years in a state reform.

was made with severity in other cases.

Nuisance of Himself.

George Lablanche, IS, Webster, was
given a stiff sentence in the city court
by Judge M. H. Geissler Friday morn
ing-120 days for breach of the peace,
80 days for having been intoxicated.
Labfanche came to town with the idea
that he could abuse anyone he liked
and get away with It. He visited
homes and made a nuisance of himself,
finally getting locked up. He is old
enough to know a whole lot better, but
his age doesn't seem to help any. If he
hasn't improved, he must have been
something tough as a youngster.
Judge Geissler has made it palm that
persons who are rated as buns and
who get into the city court are not
going to have a pleasant time. The
number of arrests has jumped amaz-
lngly this spring. Those who get into
