NEW STOCK HOUSE
MauhaSSett Manufacturing Company
Also Making Addition TO Office
Concern is sin Rnnuiug Night aud Day

The Manhassett Manufacturing COM
pany has begun The erection OF new
stock house to be s0xi29 feet, one story
In height. An addition TO the Office
lsx24 feet Is also to be built.
This concern manufactures auto
mobile tire duck and has been pros
porous since IL started, running two
shifts, night and day. 1t has built
nearly 80 houses and has little village
oil of its own and is one of the city's
important Industries.
Cotton forms a large part of auto
mobile tires while the rubber merely
binds il together and tupholsters 1t so
that a tire may rs logically be called
cotton tire as a rubber tire. Thous.
ands OF bales of cotton dad their way
to this plant every year.
Tires demand the very best of cotton,
and the finest Egyptian and Sea Is
land grades are used. The special
qualities required for tire fabric,
strength and an exceptional degree of
tfeXtoiiity, IRE better supplied by these
than by any other. The tioer Is very
long and like silk in It's fneness aud
strength, The cost, naturally, is much
greater than that OF ordinary grades.
The tire industry has greatly sstimu.
lated the cultivation of better grades
OF cotton, and has been great benefit
a..
country.
So successful has the Manhassett
company been that since It began op-
erations, that large additions have
been built and the plant has been
more than doubled.

SEDER'S ENTERED
AGAIN
Fourth Burglary at This Store in Is
Months
Goods Valued at Between $3.50 and $500
Stolen

They say three times and out; also
that lightning never strikes twice in
the same place, but when 1t comes TO
burglarieS these little sayings have no
application. At least Charles Seder
thinks SO, and with good reason, as his
store on Elm street was entered by
burglars Saturday night, making the
fourth break in the past Is months.
MIR. Seder thinks that the burglars like
his store and like his line of goods for
as regularly as the seasons come
around they break in aud help them
selves.
The break was discovered sunday
morning by William Ouimet when he
went there 10 put down the store avn.
ing. For a time 1t could not be learned
where entrance was gained MS there
was nothing broken SO far as could be
seen from inside the store. linvestiga-
ton outside the building at the rear of
the ground. Thirty feet above was n
transom window and 1t was this that
had been forced. After the first man
got in he unbarred and unlocked the
rear dor and invited in the other or
others.
When the addition TO the store was
built most of the windows were pro-
tected with iron bars. Two Email
transom windows high up on the
north side were left unprotected as the
builder, the inspector OF theft In
surance company and Mr.. Seder him.
self thought that on account OF their
location bars were unnecessary. Thirty
feet from the ground and no roofs
near, they thought, made these win.
dows perfectly safe. But they failed
to take into consideration the roof OF
the building itself. 1t WAS from here
TINT the burglar began operations. He
in some way let himself down the few
feet necessary, pried oil screen and
then forced the window open, MS 1t
was only locked with light catch,
The rest was easy. When they left
they closed the windows and door be,
hind them.
While there may be some articles
missing that have been overlooked II
is known that at least two dress suit
cases are gone, also silk dresses, silk
shirts, silk hose, neckties, clothing,
hats, etc The loss is estimated at be-
tween 800 aud 500.

dropped.

Arrested at Putnam Inn for MaSsacha-
sets Officers
Alleged Bella Pescs Wanted in Spring
field

After chase that lasted all day
Wednesday DAVID J. Manning, Jr., of
the detective department OF the Massa-
chusetts district police, arrived in Put
nam in the early morning hours
Thursday, and caused The arrest Of
Bella Pesee for when the M8ssachu-
sets officer held 1eneh warrant on
complaint for conducting a disorderiy
house in springfield.
The woman, about As, and o younger
woman, about %, were registered Mt
the Putnam Inn. The woman regis
tered as Mrs. Smith and claimed The
Younger woman was her Daughter
Anna. They were assigned to room Is.
The Massachusetts detective came to
Putnam from Weonsocket in On auto
mobile and after the arrest WAS made
told the woman he would take her on
The first train TO Springfield. The
woman objected TO that mode of con-
veyance saying she preferred to ride in
an automobile. The officer told her if
she went that way she would have to
pay. She was quite willing and deal
was made for the Noonsocket driver,
who brought the officer here, TO take
the party to Springfield for go The
woman drew forth roll of bills that
would have purchased several Liberty
Loan bonds and paid 10 advance and
the officer and the two women set out
for the massachusetts, city while the
sun was still behind the eastern hills.
Manning traced the woman toWoon-
socket Wednesday afternoon and there
learned she had come TO Putnam
through telephone message she sent
TO the Rhode Island city.
Later Thursday morning man APP
preached Captain Ryan and said he
was the husband OF the woman. When
informed that she had been taken to
Springfield he was surprised and
wanted to know if that could be done
without requisition. HE was told that
the woman went voluntarily with the
officer. This was the last seen OF him.
and her assistants generally. But the
PATRIOT can assure Mrs. Willsie that
such is not the case, and while IL Is re-
gretted that so few were present We'd
nesday, the health survey and baby
campaign is really amounting TO
something. Miss Tebbutt, Mr.. Dodd
and their assistants have certainly or
ganized and carried onEthe work here
most efficiently, and they deserve the
high praise for their efforts In
which the Putnam people and mef-
chants generally have so well cooper
ated and shown interest during the
last three weeks.

During the past three years Mr.. Ski
binsky, a Russian by birth and train
ing. has been making 4 wonderful
record in this country as a viOlinist Of
unusual merit Since his original en-
gagement he has averaged 800 concerts
q year, or, Sundays omitted, practical
ly concert every day. Last winter
when at the Chautauqua Institution
in New York he created quite 4 sensa-
ton with his wonderful work as a
fancy skater on Chautauqua lake. His
ability in this athletic sport attracted
very nearly as much attention as did
his wonderful skill with the violin.
During the greater part of an entire
week Mr.. Skibinsky was the principal
attraction of the Parent Chautauqua
Institution.
He is one of the progressives Of
the aristOcracy of Russia, having re-
nounced the title of count when he
came to America to become an Amer
lean citizen. He was out of sympathy
with the corrupt government Of his
native land and participated in the
movement which finally evolved into
the recent Russian revolution.
