SeleCtInan Gibney Receives lnVi-
 tatiOn to Join Movement
D. \. R. MONTHLY MEETING
Former Resident Dies In New York
 Towns Oldest Voter Observes An , Case Against Railroad-Briefs.

This morning First Selectman Will Ham H. Gibney received letter from J. N. Baker, secretary of the New England Clean Up and Paint Up Com mittee asking that the, town Of Ser lin enter in the movement with prac- tically all. the cities and towns Of New England. The object of the league as the name implies is for better civic conditions. TEe compe- tition will be held the first two weeks in May. Accompanying the letter was a circular which gave the results of last years campaign i'll which ninety towns and cities in New Eng land were entered. The letter also states that 4,900 cities and towns in the country entered the movement a year ago. "A campaign of this kind means cleaner, brighter aud more at tractive cities and towns; it also means less danger from fires, and in a bus mess way it has been proved that a campaign in a town helps nearly every kind of business carried on in that town," the circular says.
 Last year the city of Hartford was declared the winner of the contest. No little credit was given to the Boy
 
 teriaIly in the campaign. 4 hand some silver loving cup IS given to the town capturing first prize but it must be won three times to have permanent possession. The judges are Cover nor David I. Walsh of Massachusetts, E. J. Bliss, president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce ard J. H. Corcoran, president of .h2 Massachu- sets State Board of Trade
 Selectman Gibney will confer with several citizens regarding the invita- tion within the next few days and competition.

station. Nevertheless it is thought that there is enough room and a suf- ficient number of tracks to increase amount of freight handled and it is expected that some of the business now looked after in Waterbury will be shifted to Plainville and the local working force greatly augmented.
 Representatives of the company, who were here yesterday, would not say definitely what would be done, btu they intimatcd that the Waterbury station will be relieved of part of the work it is now looking after
 Night Hours on Short Trip.
 Eight hours for the run between Westfield, Mass, and Plainvile is the record made by the crew on a freight train which pulled in at the local yards this morning at o'clock. Un- der normal conditions it takes less than two hours to make the trip, but since the near tic-up the trains have to move much slower.
 The train which reached here this morning left WestficId at l o'clock. No extra cars were taken on or side tracked during the run. The snow increased the difficulties of the crew and the waits necessitated by congest- Cd conditions OGIAyeu tue IIdln great ly.
 The incident above cited is nothing unusual under the existing conditions, the trainmen report, and until there is a let-up in the shipm ents they do not look for much improvement.
 Manufacturers and merchants arc beginning to feel the results of the New Haven roads cmbargoes and they are much annoyed over the fail ure to get goods which they have or dered. The coal dealers have but a small supply of fuel on hand and have no means of knowing when they will get any more. H. C. Thompson said this morning that a car of coal which he ordered from the mines i1 Pennsylvania has bccn in transit since January 22. Other cars have been on the way for weeks but, have been sidctracl1cd owing to the con geStion.

Besides her husband she leaves z daughter, Miss M Eva Rigby, who 1 resides at home. Two sisters also mourn her loss,
 The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 with services at he1 home. Many from Plainville will at- tend.
 Raise for Section Hands. Inability to get help has caused the New Haven road to raise the wages of the section hands employed in this locality and notice has been issued that the pay for this clcass of work in future will be S1.75 for a n-hour day. Heretofore the men have been paid at the rate of $1.65 a day. They are also to be paid time and 9 half for all overtime.
 The company has been losing number of section hands because of the demand for labor in the factories, which are paying higher wages.
 New Catalogue of Books
 For the benefit of the patrons of the local library, the board of direc- tors is having a new catalogue of various books on the shelves prepared and it will be available for reference in a short time.
 The need of a book catalogue has been apparent for some time. and the action of the directors will be greatly appreciated by the public.

John Kelly Gets Sixty Days for
 DiSreSpeCtful Conduct
WON'T TOLERATE BACK TALK
Springfield Man Uses Doctors Veran-
 da for Couch-Teus Owner to Gall Patrof'-N1ay Enlarge Trans fer Business Hcre-Briefs.

John Kelly of Springfield, Mass, who, although not employed as a freight handler, declared he would have secured work of this character had it not been for the authorities, was sentenced to jail for sixty days by Justice E. P. Prior before whom he was arraigned this morning. While Kelly was convicted on charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace, his commitment was the result of his conduct in court rather than punish ment for the Offenses named in the warrant The accused was very of fensive in his talk at the hearing, and, to teach him to be more respectful, Justice Prior gave him two months
 Kellys arrest was made last even ing by Constable Sturgeon on com- plaint of pr. c. w. Moody The phy- sician found him lying on his veran- da hopelessly drunk. He attempted to get him to his feet but the fellow insisted that he was quite comfortable He advised the doctor to call the pa trol Constable Sturgeon secured sleigh as a substitute for the sort or wagon Kelly seemingly is accustomed to ride in, and put him in the lookup.
 The accused claimed he came here yesterday looking for work at tiNe freight transfer station. He got drunk instead T suppose I've got to plead guilty. anyway" he said when ar raigned this morning. Grand Juror Norton advised him to use his own judgment in the matter and during the proceedings Kelly changed his mind and said he had decided not to plead guilty His remarks addressed to the. court were most disrespectful, and Justice Prior brought the hearing to an abrupt conclusion, imposing a sen tcnce of thirty days on eacn count Kelly had no objection to make, con- tenting himself with the statement that he didn't care what happened to him.
 Will Use Old Building.
 Pending the perfection of plans for the erection of a large structure to be used as a distributing station for this section, the C. H. Cahill company of Meriden has decided to use the old foundry building on property Which 1t recently purchased from E. T. Car ter for a storehouse. It was original ly intended to tear down the building shortly after the property was ac- quired, but delays in getting the rail road to agree to put side track to the land made a change in the plans 
 The building is now being wired for electricity and otherwise fitted up for use, and until storehouse can be erected it will be utilized It is said the firm hopes to have it's new station built this summer.
 Enlarge Transfer Business.
 Officials of the New Haven road were here yesterday to investigate the situation at the local freight yard with a view of increasing the business at the transfer station until congested conditions existing on the entire road are somewhat relieved While the force is working at top speed, it is some difficulty in han ding the business now sent to the

CLARK
IN "SEvEN SISTERS

Seven Sisters" the celebrated
trans-continental comedy triumph, and
successfully presented for several sea-
sons by Daniel Frohman at the Ly-
ceum Theatre In New York, provides
an ideal photoplay. AS Mici, the prin.
cipal of the seven sisters, Marguerite
Clark is altogether charming. Her
mischievous gravity, her wistfullness,
her quaint philosophy and irresistible
girlishness, make the role completely
captivating. The film version of this
humorous play of romantic youth is
thoroughly delightful.
This excellent production will be
shown at the Bradley Opera House to-
night and the people of Elko are fortu-
nate indeed that they may have the
pleasure of seeing such handsome and
we'll staged attractions produced by
the Famous Film company.-Adv.
