In the town court Wednesday morn ing, Judge Woodward sentenced Mau- rice Carey, who was arrested in Willi- mantle, to serve 30 days in jail and to pay a fine of $25 and costs of prose cution. Carey was brought back to this town by Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Aver to answer to a charge of Jumping a board bill at the Kennedy hotel in Dayville. Carey came there in June of last year and remained to November without paying any board, Landlord Kennedy taking it for grant ed that Mrs. Kennedy had been re- ceiving the weekly payments, while
 Mrs. Kennedy was under the impress sion that MT Carey was paying his
 board to her husband. When Carey s attention was called to the require ment of paying for his keep he began to do so, but left one night without paving all of his back board.
 Sheriff Aver, at Carey's request, vis- 1ted several persons that Carey be- neved would help him out in his trou-
 ble, but the sheriff says they all de-
 clined to do so. so Carey was taken
 to jail.

CUNNING FOR eULLs
Frauds About the State of Whom Chamber of Commerce Warns the Unwary.


 Through an arrangement with the secretaries of commerce chambers all over the state. organized as the Con necticut Association of Commercial and Civic Executives, the local office receives much confidential infornna- ton as to, fraudulent and unworthy soliciting schemes. As there are al- ways people out begging for charity, or selling things they misrepresent, 1t is well to be careful In dealing with strangers in such matters, Putnam people are advised to find out some thing about them before contributing.
 The Putnam Chamber of Commerce will be glad to investigate any ap- plicant; and the charitable, whether members or not, would do well to tele- phone at once; and meanwhile say that they will give nothing unless the chamber endorsement is first received. In nine cases out of ten, the solicitor will leave town at once: in the tenth he usually will leave town after a short talk with the captain of police.
 The information received is confi- dential; but its general nature is meant for publication. Some of the schemes, worthless, fraudulent, or even criminal. that have worked other Connecticut cities recently, are de- scribed briefly here.
