which occurred yesterday afternoon while the young man was bathing in Bantam lake. The unfortunate young man was affected with heart trouble while he was swimming in the lake and he sank before help could reach him.
 MT. Keohler was prominent in Litchf1eld social circles. He was as- sociated with the Trumbull Brothers of this place in manufacturing cleo tracal equipment in the Bantam fac tory. He was also we'll known to d number of Plainville young men who have at various times been in the em- ploy of the company.
 Send Out Notices Next Week.
 While he was unwilling to make any definite statement as to the time local young men called for service in the now army will be ordered to re- port for physical examination Her bert Knox Smith of Farmingtor, chairman of the exemption board, told the "Herald' today that the first batch of notices will probably be in the mail by Monday, and the regis trants high up in the list will be ex- pected to appear before the examin- ing doctors on Friday or Saturday of next week.
 The exemption board is. handi- capped by the lack of clerical help and, as there is great volume of de- tall work to be attended to, the mem bers do not believe that they will have the list of the second division completed before Sunday.
 According to the regulations, they have to list every registrant in the district before they call the first batch for examination As the district will be called on to furnish about four hundred men, the first thousand drawn for service will probably be called on to be examined. As there will be many exempt for physical dis abilities and dependents, as we'll as for industrial reasons, it is possible that more registrants will have to be called to fill the districts quota.
 The board has not made sufficient progress with it's wor kto give much definite information considering the personnel of the districts quota. and consequently is making no public statement in anticipation of the con- pletion within few days of the con- scription list.
 Merchants Complain.
 Owners of stores in the Russell building on Central square have com plained to the authorities regarding the nuisance caused by young men who congregate in front of their places of business during the evening, expectorating on the sidewalks and by the use of bad language make the street one to be summed by the townspeople.
 Curb stone decorators are not very popular with the merchants and they think it is nearly time the selectmen and the constables made some move to abate the nuisance which they cre- ate.
 The advertising given the town to strangers by the unsightly appearance of the center which is aided by the congregating of "fresh' youths and some grown-ups who loiter around the streets is not of a character to make a favorabl impression and ac ton by the authorities is demanded.
