Berlin News CUPID LAUGHS AT IMMIGRATION LAWS Antonio MaSSeli Succeeds in
 Getting Sweetheart Into U. s. :. MARRIED IN SPRINGFIELD
Sons of Veterans Elect Officers for
 Coming Ycar-E'unera1s of Mrs. Y heS eiiu A'o"ei' u" W
 ment of Mrs. Martino Tomorrow.

Love will find way" is an old saying, and Antonio Masselli of Ken sington is an ardent believer in it Masselli was married and about two years ago his wife died, leaving ten children After a period of mourn ing MasselI decided he would enjoy ence more connubial bliss. Accord ingly, he wrote to his uncle in Italy and asked the latter to select a wifo for him. He would have gone over himself. but there were the ten chil- dren and possibility that he would sAaVe to enlist in the Italian army. His bride-to-be secured passage, but tie cruel immigration officials at Ellis Island kept her from landing. He tried again, his uncle making a sec ond selection, but this time physicians found the future Mrs Masselli had a weak heart and consequently refused her admittance to this country. Mas selli realized the woman was the girl of his dreams and began to figure the chances of eluding the immigra- ton authorities. He bided his time and made arrangements for a second attempt. The boat on which she took passage landed in Boston last week and the future Mrs. Masselli hurried to the home of relatives in Spring field. Masse1li kept the good news to himself and last Sunday journeyed to the Massachusetts city. where he took his second plunge into matrimony. ffe immediately brought his blush Ing bride back to his domicile in Ken sington where she is today.

Underwriters Seem to Consider
 Town Prepared Against Fire
PLAINYILLE IN THIRD GLASS
Directors Go On Record in Favor of
 Military Training ill Colleges Banquet Committee Makes Slow Progress-Cafferty Wanted Drink.

That fire insurance rates in Plain vile are not excessive when com- pared with those charged in other i towns in the state is evidenced from ! the reports presented at the March
 meeting of the board of directors of the Business and Improvement asso- citation held last evening. Commit tees which conferred With the under ! writers regarding the recent advance in the rates charged on buildings were advised that the increase was
 made general through the southern New England states and that there vas no special discrimination against Plainville. Tn fact this town 1 was put we'll up in the list, getting 8 position in third class
 In advancing the rates the insur- ance companies divided the towns into five classes. Connecticut is not represented in the first class, not
 single city having the improvements
 which it's membership requires. .'Only cities or towns having regularly em- plCycd paid fremen arc eligible to the second class. Consequently by getting q place in the third division. Plain
 vile has the advantage on many of
 the towns. The fire protection which the town enjoys is responsible for the designation given.
 The underwriters have advised the association that property owners here
 may get a reduction in their rates by having their dwellings covered with metal or fire resisting shingles The directors believe that many will take advantage of this cut when re- shingling their homes if they are ac- Quainted with the rates.
 While the underwriters regard the rates for Plainville as reasonable they have explained to the business men that unless more attention IS raid to hydrants here during the winter months it will be necessary to order an advance in the chargeS- Complaints have been made to them about the failure of the town to re- move the snow from the hydrantS, scme of which they report have been pra ctical1y buried for several days at a time. The business men hope to remedy this trouble.
 The plans for the organization of a club similar to the Y. M. c. A. for the boys and young men of thetown, were discussed at last nights session and a committee was appointed to confer with churChmen and others be- hind the movement to learn in which way the business men can help the

Favor Military Training.

Resolutions favoring military train l ing in colleges were adopted by the 1 board The members believe that in connection with plans for prepared ress it would be a good idea to add military training to the college curricu1a, making it possible for the students to, get information that would be of incalcula ble assistance to the country in time of war. They went or record last night as being opposed to compulsory training, per- hitting the students to take the course if they choose instead.
 Complaints have been made to the directors regarding fake solicitors who have been operating in Plainville and vicinity for some time and this morning President F. T. Wheeler stated that the board would issue a warning against them. Strangers have been making a canvass, os- tensibly for charity, and have also tried to work on the sympathy of l 1nanufa cturers and business men. In l vestigation has revealed that their ] motives were anything but altruistic l and they have been branded as fakes. !
 According to MT. Wheeler's report ! the committee in charge of the an- l rual banquet of the association has l not made a great deal of progress. l The members are extremely busy With l other affairs and have not been able ! to devote much time to the banquet l plans. Mr. Wheeler gave assurance, l however, that the affair will be held l probably during the latter part of l April
 Last nights meeting was one or 1 the most interesting sessions the dl- 1 rectors have held in some time. l There was a good attendance and | many matters concerning town inn ] movements were informally discussed. 1
