 FAMILY NH REUNION Michael Rogers Plans Home for
 Wife and Daughter ITALY WANTS A SOLDIER

 Second of Union Meetings of Kens-
 ington Churches Tonight-Couple Hf-l ss Have First Quarrel-Othcr News.

Michael Rogers, who recently pur- chased the Bandbox schoolhouse with the Idea of turning 1t into a a"dwelling house, is very peoved with the Italian government. Rogers left sunny Italy about ten years ago and came to : this country fer the purpose Of mak ing his fortune. He has prospered here and now feels as though he would like to have his family, consist ing of a wife and daughter with him once again, for at the time of his de- parture from his native land, he could not afford to bring them with him.
 When ne left Italy he intended to pcome to this country, make his for tune and then return to the land of his birth to pass his declining days He lived on a farm on the outskirts of Naples, but when he reached the shores Of America he went to work in the factories. Part of his wages he sent to his wife and after deducting weekly expenses he placed the re- mainder in banks When Italy entered the war he, in common with the rest of the Italian reservists, received mo- tice that his country would expect him to return and fight for it's cause. Several times he had the purpose in mind of taking out naturalization pa- pers in this country but kept putting 1t off so when the summons came he ignored 1t. Thus he made himself persona non grata with the bosses of Italy.
 Last July, Rogers purchased steam ship tickets and sent them to his wife in Italy. After a month of anxious waiting, he received a letter from her in which she said the officials would not allow her to leave the country while the war was in progress. Since then she has made several intellectual attempts to board ocean liners com ing to these shores. Rogers has writ ten many times to the Italian consul al Washington, but none of his let ters brought any reply. Consequent ly, he Is in a diler ma the outcome of which he does not know.
 ~, Last week, Rogers receiVCd a letter from his wife which said that his na- tive country is alive with war spirit and every day thousands of soldiers leave for the front. Regarding the length of the war, the people are un- certain, but the feeling pervades the allies will surely win. The letter also Informed him that a cousin, Mike Co., pora, lost his left arm in a battle on the Austrian frontier in Septem Der MT. Rogers says he will go ahead and fix up the old schoolhouse into q ten ement house and trust he will have his family with him in the near future

ROCKWELL DRAKECO.
 FILES CERTIFICATE
New Corporation Will Be Capital
 ized at $32,600
GEO. |. SANFORD A DIRECTOR
Believed Here That Company Will Build Factory on Rockwell Prop Installed-No Contagious Diseases.

Significance is attached locally to
 the secretary of state that an organ ization certificate was filed at the
 capitol yesterday by the Rockwell Drake company of Hartford, Plain Vile people believing that the action was one of the first steps in the de- Velopment of a plan for the establish
 ment of a manufacturing plant here to compete with the New Departure
 corporation of Bristol.
 Although the men connected with the proposed enterprise have been
 quoted as both affirming and denying
 the report that they have definitely decided to locate the plant on the
 property recently purchasd here by
 A. F. Rockwell of Bristol, local people
 seemingly are satisfied that within a l short time ground will be broken for a good size building in which the | manufacture of ball bearings will be started
 According to the articles of incor- poration Hugh M. Rockwell, a son of the former president of the New De-
 parture company, is to head the new concern. Leon A. Drake, who is at present associated with him in the manufacturing business with a plant Tn Hartford, is the secretary and treasurer. George l.. Sanford, assist ant treasurer of the Wallace Barn es
 company of Bristol, who recently left
 that company ostensibly to join MT. Rockwell in the Marlin Arms com 1 jc cd ton Of the new corporation. MT. San ford is a smiled mechanic and like
 Rockwell and Drake is familiar with the ball bearing industry It Is thought that he will take a prominent part in the management of the busi- ness
 The new company is capitalized at S32, 300, the stock divided into 325 shares. S1O,40O has been paid in in cash and $20,00O in property. S100 has been paid for each share of stock subscribed for except twenty-five shares on which $400 has been paid.
 MT. Rockwell recently admitted to the Herald that his company would soon locate in Plainville, although he was unwilling to go into details be- cause he said the plans had not been sufficiently developed to permit of a formal announcement. He was sub sequently quoted as saying that Plain vile had been but tentatively se- lected as a site for the proposed plant
 Numerous inquiries have been re- ceived at the town clerks office from the Roclwell-Drakc people regarding the power, etc, used by manufactur- CTS. In one of them the company ex- pressed it's intention of locating a plant here, using electric current for its power
 While the officials consistently re- fuse to disclose their plans and give out no information, men close to them have declared that before spring
New Britain herald., 1916-01-04

the erection of a building will be started and if the plans of MT. Rock well and his associates do not mis- carry, the entire ten acres of land which the Bristol manufacturer pur- chased will be practically covered with factory structures in three years.
 No Contagious Diseases.
 Although Plainville has it's share of grip and kindred maladies, Health Officer J. N. Bull reports that it Is particularly fortunate in escaping so far the contagious diseases so pre- valent in other towns in the state. While New Britain and other nearby places report epidemics of diphtheria there is not a single case of that dread disease here and the health officer is hopeful that the germs will continue giving the town a wide berth.
 pr. Bulls records show that not a single contagious disease has been re- ported since November While the element of luck presumably enters largely into 1t, the absolute absence of these diseases for over two months may also signify that the conditions under which the townspeople are liv- ing are healthfu1.
 Rebekah Officers Seated. With Mrs. Louis Miller of Bristol, the district deputy grand master and her staff in charge, the newly elected officers of Martha Rebekah lodge were seated last evening, members of the local organization and a large delega- tion from Ruth Rebekah lodge of Bristol, witnessing the exercises Before the installation ceremonies, the guests were entertained at a tur- key supper served in the dining room of the Odd Fellows hall. The ritual was impressively rendered by Mrs. Miller and her assistants and the l meeting was most interesting. The elective officers taking the ob- ligations were:
 Noble Grand-Mrs. Anna Vance. Vice Grand-Mrs. Lula J. Pease. Financial Secretary-Mrs. Minnie Pease.
 Recording Secretary-Mrs. F. Nor rill
 Treasurer-Mrs. Frank Thompson. Panhandler Goes To Jail. Showing pronounced disapproval of the art of panhandling as practiced to considerable extent here of late, Justice E. P. Prior last evening sen- fenced John Bogart to jail for thirty days after testimony had been pre- sented to show that the accused had been a source of annoyance to a number of local people during the day.
 Bogart was arrested by Constable Cornelius Downing after he had been elected from several places in which he had tried to get money. He made a nuisance of himself and the officer finally locked him up.
 Bogart belongs in Holyoke. He was at one time employed with the section gang on the railroad here but of late he has been depending on his ability to get finds through the medium of hard luck stories. Grand Juror Norton, who presented the case against him last evening, recom- mended a term in jail and Justice Prior adopted. the suggestion.
