Time for Action.
The report of last nights affair and
similar brawls among the darkeyS
working at the transfer station has
caused some Indignation in town and
the belief is generally held that 1t is
time the authorities took some action.
The negroes should be disarmed and
those carrying revolvers should be ar
rested. That is the cry that was
raised today. Southern darkeys, most
OF them illiterates, unaccustomed to
the ways of the north, are difficult to
handle, and should any of them run
amuck while under the influence of
liquor, there might be tragic results

Main and Main streets. At present
these traffic points are protected in
the day time by a policeman and a
standard and at night, short standard
with red light attached.
1t has been suggested that mas
much as traffic has now been suffi-
GENTLY educated to turn around these
pivotal points without continuously
running down either the policeman or
the standard, it might be advisable to
change the form of traffic standard.
Chairman Babcock of the safety
board has a plan in mind of having
an ornamental standard, eight feet in
height and surmounted with an cleo
trio light with a red globe, erected at
each of these corners. In some of the
larger cities such ornamental traffic
standards are successfully used and
the base of the poles are protected by
concrete.

Mystery Surrounds Burglary.
Yesterday mornings burglary at

theory that motor thieves may be st
work in this locality and that the
break was committed by crooks OF
more than ordinary ability
According to reports In circulation
there are indications that the burg
larry was deliberately planned and was
executed through the connivance of
men in an automobile who lured the
night man away from the garage by
ordering gasoline to be delivered to
them near White Oak.
The man in charge explains that he
was called away after midnight to
supply gasoline to car stalled on
the New Britain road. The motorists
bought but two gallons from him.
When he returned to the garage ne
found that the place had been en-
tered during his absence and about
SOS taken from the cash register He
is of the opinion that the motorists
sent for him to give confederates who
were probably lettering near the gar
age an opportunity to enter the
building.
