Grange Holds Annual Installation of Oficers-Funeral of John Root Held This Afternoon-Scyeral To- cal Societies Hold Banquets.

On Friday morning of this week
 George G. Griswold will hold a hear
 ing in chambers on the disposition of
 the Jumbola children. It was during
 the early part of December that the
 authorities were asked to investigate
 the case of a family living in Kensing-
 ton by the name of Jumbola. It seems
 that sometime during the month of
 October the mother of the children
 disappeared and from that day to this
 her whereabouts has not been discov-
 cred. The father of the children cared
 for them as best he could but not be-
 ing home during the day they were in
 general condition of neglect and ran
 wild. There are five of the children
 the oldest of which is fourteen. The
 Connecticut Humane society took
 charge of the case with the result that
 there will be hearing this week It
 IS expected that the children will be
 sent to the county home or some pri-
 vate institution where they will re-
 ceive proper care.

SPECIAL MEETING TO CORRECT ERROR SeleCtmen Call on Voters to AS-
 sign Addition to Committee OPPOSITION MAY DEVEL0PE

Resolution Passed at Last Session Failed to Mention Officials Who Were to Award Contracts-Gun-tot- CT Let Of With Fine.
 Realizing the incompleteness of the resolution concerning the erection of 8 four room addition to the brick schoolhouse on Broad street adopted at the last town meeting and the pos abilities of litigation should any par ticular set of town officials take the initiative ordering the work started the board of selectmen today ssued call for special session of the voters to consider the matter of appointing a committee to make the necessary con- tracts and to supervise the consruc- ion of the additional quarters. The meeting is to be held in the town building on Wednesday, January 25.
 The action of the selectmen had been anticipated in many quarters since the attention of the public was called to the fact that while the last 1H0etlIS duIlOIlLeu LIlc cIoCClOH Ol I1lS addition, appropriated $17,0O0 to pay the expenses and laid an extra tax of four mills to raise part of the money required, they failed to give any 1n- structions as to what officials were to see that the work was done. The res- olution was introduced after other motions concerning additional school accommodations had been defeated and the indications pointed to no ac- tion on the proposition. It was pre- sented and passed in rather haphazard fashion and certain very necessary features were omitted through an oversight. '-..
 While the school board is in abso- lute control of the management of the schools the erection of new buildings isa matter over which the voters alone have authority and the committee has not taken any acion. The members made no announcement as to what their probable attitude would be but the se1ectmen decided that if an addf- tion is to be built the conracts should be awarded in legal fashion. Hence he call for the meeting.
 Although the need of additional scho ol quarters is generally recognized and 1t is known that the town cannot avoid providing more room for the children, there are some who are not enthusiastic over the plan of paying half tho expense in a single year through the laying of a special 1our mill tax. They argue that by pay1ns

 compelled to serve four years under laws enacted since he became a mem Der of the army. Dimes is stationed at Hachita, close to the Mexican bor- l der, and because of the troubled con l dltlons in that locality the war de- partment has not ordered his dis charge although he has served over the three years, the term stipulated at the time of his enlistment Young Dimes is now wearing a cor poraPs stripes and is hopeful of an- other promotion before he leaves the service.

two mills extra for a period of four years the addition can be freed from debt without placing so heavy bur den on the taxpayers at once. There are others who do not seem to like the idea of an extra tax any
 way and it was reported today that some opposition to the plan may de- velop at the coming meeting.
 The call for the meeting makes no reference to the special tax and it is doubtful if the voters can do any thing regarding it at the meeting. A motion to rescin dwould hardly be in order and efforts in that direction would probably meet with defeat
 Opposition might find it possible, however, to defeat the proposition by refusing to appoint committee to award the contracts which would leave the question as it stands today, making it necessary to call new meeting.
 There seem to be a large number of citizens, who, recognizing the ab- solute need of more school room, agree that as the town will eventually have to pay the bill, it would be well to get the debt of their hands as soon as possible, a, result which the four mill special tax will make possible in two years. They are bound to chal- lenge any effort to change the sense of the resolution passed at the last meet ing and should opposition develop at the session next week, lively fight is promised.
 Gun-toter Fined.
 Convicted of carrying concealed weapons and committing an assault, Antonio Pitonni of New Britain, was fined S27 and costs by Justice A. H. Condel1 before whom he was ar raigned yesterday afternoon. Pitonni was concerned in the disturbance at the office of the White Oak quarries Monday morning. Witnesses claimed that with a companion the accused visited the place and displaying re- volvers announced their intention of killing a quarryman, known as Fred. They left the place without carrying out their threat, Pitonnts arrest at his home resulting a short time later His companion has not yet been ap- prehended.
 Pitonni in defending his conduct ex- plained to the court that Fred has been circulating stories concerning him and a widow with whom he has been boarding. He considered that his actions were justifable and that the man that scandalized him was de- of death. Attorney Joseph G. Woods, who appeared for him, argued that there were extenuating circum- in the case and as no harm had been done by the accused len iency should be shown.
 Justice Condell imposed a fine of s2O for carrying concealed weapons and added a $7 assessment on the as sault charge. He explained that had a native-born American appeared be- fore him for such an offense he would have imposed a jail sentence as he considered that a man born and raised in this country would have a better understanding of the serious ness of the crime.
