City Court Fuller Judge

Joseph II. Elliott of Abingdon was before Judge Fuller, in chambers, Monday morning, and paid Il fine for not having his automobile properly lighted while in the city one evening last week. The costs in the case were remitted. The police have put forth more than ordinary effort to enforce the traffic rules of the state and the city with the result that more viola tions have been reported than in any previous year. The effect of this has been beneficial and drivers are becom- ing very careful in the matter of res- pecting regulations.
 Two cases occupied the attention of the city court Tuesday morning.
 Loren Bosworth of West Woodstock plead guilty to intoXication. Captain of Police Joseph Ryan testified that he was called to the Ballard place on Woodstock avenue Tuesday morning about o'clock and found that Bos- worth had tipped his automobile over and was not in fit condition to be driving a car. A little girl was with him. Bosworth told the witness that he was hurrying home where he had a big job to do having and he took few drinks so he could do the work.
 When Bosworth was asked by the court what his plea was he said, "l don't hardly know what to plead. What would be cheapest for me? l want to get home to get my hay in. l guess I'll plead guilty
 Bosworth said he was in hurry to get home to do his having and was driving along "as slick as grease" when he met Charlie Harrington and his dog. He turned out so as not to hit the dog and the car tipped over, His little grandniece was with him but she was not hurt. Bosworth was pinned under one of the wheels. "I couldn't get out, :" said Bosworth, "and when they helped me up l found my leg was hurt some and l couldn't stand good and they thought l was cooked. I only took one drink in Put. nam, honest Mir, but 1 am an old man 62 and 1 can't stand much. l was q fool to turn out for that darned dog .'i A fine of s and costs of sl was lmpos ed and paid
 "Patrick Began, stand up, said the prosecutor. "What do you say, were you drunk yesterday?n "Yes sir, said Pat. "What do you wans to say to the court sir?" aWell hope you Il let me go this time, your honor. want to go to work and I've got bad leg" Captain Ryan said the man was at Bugbee s corner Monday night His friends tried to get him on troI- ley car but he wouldn't get and insist ed on dancing. "I'll .continue your case one week but you must cut out your terpsichorean affairs, said Judge Fuller.

Monday evening Putnam was the scene of the first torehlight suffrage meeting ever held in Windham Coun- ty. The Putnam Drum Corps paraded through the principal streets carrying torches and led the way to the meet. ing place, the large field at the corner of Church and Providence streets. Here an audience of several hundred people gathered and listened to the speeches that were given from an au- tomoblle. Mrs. Walter J. Bartlett made a strong plea for the ballot for women, and Attorney Eric II. Johnson spoke convincingly of the advantages of let ting women vote. The speakers were introduced by Miss Rosamond Daniel son, county chairman of the Connecti- cut Woman 5uffrage Both the audience and the suffrage workers were pleased with this form of open air meeting, and 1t is planned to have several such meetings during the sum- mer.

Take the Count After Water Knocks
 Them Out
Another GO on Elm Street Tonight

Old Jupe Pluve has a grouch. After Old Sol had sent his rain clouds scat tering to Cali for the rainy season what did the Putnam firemen do but let loose a lot of Roseland lake water right on our public square. To those most intimately concerned it was a cloud burst while to the bystanders it was merely pretty little artificial shower that helped to cool the atmosphere.
 When the first spectators began to gather and saw the firemen playing the hose, not at fire but at each other, they looked about for a moving pie ture machine and a possible Charlie Chaplin. However after the first round the realization came that new kind of aquatic sport was going on.
 Irving Cutler and Wilfred Benoit were against Dick Sharpe and Warren Ames. The weapons were few feet of fire hose backed by the city's best pressure from the pumping station. The men were cautioned to give no
 
 quarter but to pour in broadsides un- til surrender and to only stop short of drowning accident.
 A few twists of the wrench at the hydrant and the crowd scattered and left the contestants in the center of the stage. 1t was side splitting while 1t lasted and the tears of joy that ran down Foreman Fuller's face gave a salt tinge to the fresh lake water. Sharpe and Ames soon signified that they had had enough. Some say that they claimed someone kinked the hose and they didn't have good pressure while others say a large black bass came through the nozzel and Dick for got the game and tried to catch it. Anyhow the decision went to the Cut ler-Benoit combination and unless someone takes reef in their opinions of themseIves,there is mysery in store for the rest of the department.
 Tonight near the Congregational church the second go will be staged and Bibeault & Thurston will try to win the S10,OO0 diamond studded dream belt.

The State Y. NJ. (. A.

The Young Mems Christian Associa- tion of this state is to begin at once &C., tive work among the Connecticut sol diers who are doing patrol duty. A number Of secretaries will be sent into the field to look after the details, and the financing will be done on the vol untary plan, the state executive com- mittee working in this respect through local members of the committee in ob- taining funds. Money and other ma terial assistance already has been pro- missed.
 The announcement made Tuesday follows:
 IA meeting of the Connecticut state executive committee of the Young Mems Christian Association has just been held at Hotel Taft, to consider the question of sending secretaries to work among the Connecticut troops on the border.
 This action was taken at the earnest solicitation of the army and navy de- pertinent of the international commit tee, which reported the conditions there and the absolute necessity of pro- viding for the morals, health, comfort and general welfare of the Connecticut boys. Relief work has been success fully carried on by the international committee during the spanish war and in the Canal Zone, and this ensures efficient and judicious use of funds.
 Already a member of the state conn., mittee, H. w. Scovil of Watertown, has furnished the funds for one of the buildings, but others are imperatively needed, and money is also required for equipment and for employing trained secretaries to carry on the work. The state committee voted to attempt to raise the necessary funds, and S200 was announced atIthe meeting as pledged by three members of the executive committee.
 A general appeal is now being made to other states, many of which have already organized and have their sec retaries in the field. Connecticut cam not afford to do less.'
 Members of the executive committee throughout the state are authorized to receive funds for this purpose"
 l. T. Snow of l36 sherman avenue, New Haven, is treasurer of the State Executive Committee Of the Young Mems Christian Association, and is authorized to, receive contributions from residents of this town and vicin- fly.
 All with relatives or friends at the front will have a vital interest in this matter and no doubt will contribute 10 the extent of their ability. These com tributiOns will be used to the best ad- vantage for the benefit of the Connec. ticut boys doing duty on the Border.

 Alderman J. J Dupre of the high way committee said Friday morning: 1.-TWO cars of trap rock have just ar rived and the work will soon be com- pleted.

DEACON X SON
 BANKRUPT Claim Liabilities of S70,OOO with S5,OOO
 Assets
Did Business in Putnam and DanieIsOu
 Store Closed Monday

Harry Deacon and Howard Deacon, his son, doing business under the firm name of H. Deacon & Son, dry goods merchants of Danielson, closed their doors Monday morning and Wednes- day filed voluntary petition in bank ruptcy with the clerk of the United States district court at Hartford from where it will be sent to A. J. Bowen of Willimantic, referee in bankruptcy, who will appoint day for the hearing on the claims of creditors. The appH' cations are both as members of the firm and as individuals.
 The Deacons came to Putnam in the summer of il9l4. They hired several stores in the Putnam Inn block and transformed them into one large dry goods store. They fitted up the store with costly fixtures and no money was spared to make the store the most com- plete and expensive in Windhan county. They also hired the fine house owned by Florenus E. Clark on Sew ard street and the family removed to Putnam.
 The new store was opened in October, 1914, and for q while, judging from outside appearances, seemed to pros per. Soon however there seemed to be falling of in the business and last March it was announced that the store would be closed and what stock was not sold would be removed to Daniel son. This was done. Apparently the Danieson venture was not a success.
 The assets of the concern are given as 5000, which represents the value of the stock of goods in the Danielson store, and S400 in bills receivable, to- tai of S5, 400.
 The liabilities total S20,O00. Of this amount LOCO is due to wholesale firms that furnished the concern with goods. There are S7 ,000 in notes out. l standing.
 The younger Deacon and his wife are at their summer camp in New Hampshire.
