 Anxious for Open Car Service.
 Putnam business men and residents have been inquiring of representatives of the Chamber of Commerce as to whether there is to be regular open car service on the trolley line this summer. These inquiries are to be referred to the headquarters office of the Shore Line Electric Railway com pany.
 It has been stated here that open ears are to be run only on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays this season, as has been done by the road so far. One reason given for this is that it is eX- ceedingly difficult for conductors to do their work, under the new copper zone arrangement on open cars. who have seen conductors working on open cars this season that this is true.
 On the other hand, many patrons of the road are not slow to voice. their sentiments over being obliged to ride in what are known as closed cars while the temperature is over the 90 mark. The Putnam division has no semi i-ConVertible cars in it's equip ment, so it is a case of either using the old style open bIoomer car or the cars that do service during the cold weather months of the year.

THEATRE SAFEGUARDS PATRONS
State Police Find Bradley Exits and
 Fire Escapes All Satisfactory.

Chief Bgan of the state police and Alfred L. Rudd, New London, mem Der of the state police department, were in the city Saturday morning on a theater inspection trip. They visi- ted the Bradley theater, where the management has expended several hundred dollars in adding fire escapes and cutting additional exits.
 After examining the theater Chief Egan complimented Resident Mana ger Hyde Smith on the thorough man ner in which the work of protecting patrons of the house against injury in case of fire or panic has been car- ried out Chief Egan stated that the house now has an excess of exit space over what Is required by the stringent state laws.
 The house has eight exits now. They open from the east, south and north and it is estimated that the house filled to it's capacity, could be cleared of patrons in not more than one nin- ute by using all of the exits that have been provided.
 Each exit Is marked with the red light exit sign required by the state regulations. Where fire escapes are used Athe4 4-eEJStSyalaa ac ; on Atheabroads

EXTRA DRILLS REQUIRED
 OF COAST ARTHLERYMEN
Under New Militia Bill Number is Ad-
 Vanced From g to 48.

Local coast artillerymen are going to be called upon to devote more time to their military duties under the new militia bill, effective July l. Here tofore they have been required to get in only 32 drills a year, but the pro visions of the new p1lI require AS drills annually.
 In the past the artillerymen have been relieved from drill duty follow ing their return from the annual sum- mer encamDment in June, until No vember, but whether this arrange ment will continue in force hereaft- CT remains to be seen. It is thought it is not probable that it will, how ever.
 The artillerymen hear that their ten days stay in camp eaca year will not count as ten drills, this service being entirely separate and apart from the 4S drills a year proposition.

 der.
 A special despatch Saturday from Nogales, New Mexico, carried the in formation that Company K, First Connecticut Infantry, the company of Hartford, had been fired upon Friday night from across the Mexican bor- der shortly after going on patrol duty at o'clock
 The information in the despatch that was of special interest to DanieIson people, though, was that the first arrest made by militiamen ordered there from their various states was by Private Carl Anderson, of K com pany. Private Anderson Is the Dan- 1elson man who left here at the first word that there was a chance to go to Mexico and enlisted as a private in the Hartford company, although he had, only two weeks before, been dis charged, after completing a term of service, ser as first sergeant Of the Thirteenth company, c. A. C., of Dan- ielson. Rank didn't matter to him; the main idea was to get to the bor- der, so he went as a private.
 His exploit of Friday night is only fair example of how he has always discharge his duties as a soldier. A big touring car. bearing an Arizona registry, dashed toward the Mexican border at the point where Private An derson was on guard. He sharply or dered the driver of the car to halt, and held the man and his companion, woman, until an officer was summon ed. Both the prisoners were Mexi- cans. Later wneu the woman was asked if she was wanted further a negative reply was given and, car rying suit case. she proceeded into Mexico. It was believed later that the suit case contained ammunition.
 Private Anderson mas seen long service in regiments of Connecticut. The sleeve of his uniform is a mass of service stripes from rne cuff to el- bow and among the number is a blue one that indicates his Spanish war en- hstment, as a member of a Danielson company.
 He is rated one of the very best non commissioned officers in Connec- ticut. He is @ star on his job and at Manassas, during the 1904 man. ouvers he was the first member of the Blue arrnYAip the. sectiomsin which he
