GAME COMMISSION As
STARTING FOI NDATIUS

"rhcn. again. there are as many
Ideas of game protection as there are
in wall paper. Every local sportsman
has his pet: one wants the dog law
embraced. another close season on wild
turkeys and all arc so entirely fixed
on their own ideas that they viii
not favor any hill that docs not en-
brace them. The: do not stop to think
that thcr. are men who have given II
great deal Of study to the question OF
game protection, and the basis Of all
such preservation is a machinery such
as a game commissioner, to enforce the
law. They can recommend all the
game laws from now 20 Kingdom come
but unless they have the means OF
enforcing them. they are bound to he
simply nil. rs our present laws are.
There is Il measure before the Leg
islature nov. the Farmers Union game
bill. introduced by the farmers, which
is an excellent measure. 1T embraces
IL game commissioner and the means
of his support. without any expense to
the State, and without changing any
existing game law. Men who have
studied tie question know this is the
foundation OF all game protection, and
If the people of the State would center
upon this measure and pass it, and
leave out their own pet measures until
IL foundation is laid, we would then
make a start. II the legislators would
not listen TO all the thousand and one
suggestions OF changes in such q meas
ure that come from a few Of their
radical constituents. but consolidate on
II measure like this and pass il, then
each year the necessary changes could
be made to meet the then existing sit
uation."

shown. The Emeralds came to town
with the feeling that there was no

like a defeat but they went back with
a different kind Of a feeling and a
sound licking. The attendance yes

mighty encouraged and will endeavor

Congregational Pastor to Begin
New Duties on Dec. |
CHURCH COUNCIL DISMISSAL
Declines Urgent Call From Church in
New York State--BOys Break Into
Bungalow-Funeral Of Mrs. Ann
Riley-Few Negroes Left.

Rev. Frederick L. Grant. whose
resignation as pastor Of the Congre-
gational church went into effect this
afternoon when representatives of the
different churches Of that denomina-
ton in this section gathered in
council in the chapel to formally dis
miss him, announced this morning
that he had accepted call to East
Hampton, Conn.,, and would not leave
the state as he had originally planned
Mr. Grant will become pastor of the
Congregational church in that town
on December 1 and about that date
will move his family from Plainville.
For weeks Mr.. Grant has had two
offers under consideration and it was
not until a few days ago that he
finally made up his mind to remain
in this locality. He had an urgent
call from a church in the Adiron-
dacks, the congregation OF which ex-
tended him an invitation to become
pastor after viewing his record in the
ministry. Mr. Grant had never even
preached to them and he felt highly
complimented over the manner , in
which the call was given.
Friends and relatives, however, per-
suaded him from leaving Connecticut
where he has spent practically his en-
tire life and he finally decided to
continue in rho state. All his asso-
Citations are w., New England and

& student of folk lore and deeply in

much to win his favor in the wooded
hills which will surround him in his

of former activities to permit of fire.

Broke Into Bungalow.
John Kolinski, Frank Partika and
Frank Mujejusk, three New Britain
youths, were arrested by the police OF
the neighboring city last evening on
charges of breaking nto the bunga-
low owned by Harold T. Sloper on
White Oak mountain. The boys gained
entrance to the place yesterday AFTER
noon, stole a gun and few or the
fixtures and did considerable damage
to the furnishings.
Mujejusk has been on parole from
the State Reformatory at Mer1den and
he was returned to that institution
His companions were brought be-
fore Justice A H. Condell this after
noon, Grand Juror S. S. Gwillim and
Prosecutor George w. Klett of New
Britain appearing for the state. They
admitted their guilt. Partika was
sentenced to the reform school and
a similar penalty was imposed in Kill
oski's case. The latter however, was
put on probation under Officer Ed
ward Connolley of New Britain.

The funeral of Mrs. Ann Riley,
formerly of this place. was held this

Few Negroes Left.
The plan of the railroad officials
for the substitution Of white men in
place Of negroes imported from the
south month ago to work at the
station is developing steadily
and there are now but twenty darkeys
employed at the platforms, the 9TH
ers either having returned to their
homes or moving on to other north

the intention to dismiss those remain
ing as soon as enough white men can
be secured to take their places. About
fifty whites are now employed as
truckers at the station
The scheme Of bringing darkeys
into the service in an attempt to solve
the problem resulting from a scarcity
of labor proved a failure at least in
Plainville. For the most part the
negroes proved a shiftless lot and
they could be persuaded to work but
little. One white man would do as
much as five of the dusl1y hued la
borers and the officials decided that
the negroes were not adapted to en-

But one case of typhoid has been

that was an imported one.
Three cases of diphtheria and four
Of scarlet fever, all of which were

Three cases of infantile paralysis,
