THE GATEMAN SLEPT
Crossing Tender on Church Street Fails to Hear Approaching Train Main Street Man Exercises.

The advent of women into the ranks of railroad gate tenders has evil dently not stirred up their male con- temporaries to show their superiority in the line of efficiency, according to reports received by the police.
 At 11:50 o'clock last night Police man Thomas Dolan telephoned to headquarters saying that the gateman on duty at the Church street railroad crossing did not put the gates down for the last "dinky" up from Berlin so he investigated and found the gate man asleep in his shanty, and so very fast asleep that he could not wake him up.
 About the saine time the police re- oetved 0 complaint from A. M. Pap- azian of 66e Lincoln street, who said that the gates of the Main street rail- road crossing were being raised and lowered by @ man who appeared to be drunk, The railroad company was notified of the existing conditions.

 This is certainly the Waterloo of a great many number of autoists and nearly every day one or more comes to grief The latest accident oc- cured yesterday afternoon at Harts pond near the American Paper Goods company. 1t happened thus: James Priotti, the shoemaker has an auto mobile. He has a friend visiting him. Yesterday said friend took the ma- chine out for a spin. He drove along the road which leads to Hart's Ibnd. On approaching that body of water he navigated his vehicle where the bridge used to be but is no more. But what of that. He only broke through the barrier which has been placed be- tween the water and the road to avoid just such performances and stopped within a foot of the briny deep.

BERLIN ELIGIbLES
 EXAMINED TODAY
Three Slackers Fail to Call at Post Office for Notices
ARRESTS MAY FOLLOW
Philip Pagan Received Orders to Re-
 bort at New Haven-Don't Cross the
 Rridre at Hart's Pond Before it is . Built--At the Churches.

Early this morning men Whttse drawn started for Plainville to appear at the town hall for physical examina- , tiQn. This is also the last day on which they will be allowed to file their claim for exemption and it is thought that a large percentage of them will plead to be excused on account of dependents. This con- clusion was arrived at because of the large foreign population and the numbers who are claiming exemption for this reason in other cities.
 4t is quite evident that there will be at least three slackers from this town for there are still three draft notices at the postoffices, two at Berlin and one at kensington. It is not known whether these three men are ignorant of what is happening in the country or are neglecting their duty intention ally. and thereby flirting with a long jaif sentence. Their names are: Pie tro Paradini Mariana Di Manro and George P. Mousche. /
 On registration day they appeared and~ registered but since that time practically nothing has been heard of them and no one can be found who knows anything of their where abouts. If they do not put in an appearance at the town hall today for examination it is probable that some action will be taken by the authorities before long for their apprehension. They may be among number of persons of foreign extraction who have left this vicinity.
 Dr. R. M. Griswold, his assistant pr. Cunning and Dr. Hodgson of Esast Berlin, are serving with the eX- arnining board at Plainville today. Francis Deming and George Griffith have volunteered and are acting as clerks. According to a statement made by Dr. Griswold the number of men called from the district will not be sufficient to fill the quota. This is on account of the large number of exem ptions he states. He also thinks that a second call will have to be made soon.
 Over 200 men from the towns of Berlin, Plainville and Southington will be examined today. 27 doctors from various outlying towns have volunteered their services to aid in the work. A large number of clerks have also been mustered into service to help in the tremendous task. All efforts are being put forth to eX- pedite the examina ton of the con- scription eligibles today.
