that Officer Marine, who patrols the streets at night should be able to de- tect breakers of the law who attempt to enter the stores. Burglars also as a general rule do not attempt to enter places which are lighted and if they do their first move would be to ex- tinguish all lights. Marino has made a list of the stores which are lighted and should one of the lights suddenly be extinguished the officer would be automatically informed that some- thing was wrong.
 Now Assistant Chief.
 At meeting of the board of fire commissioners held Saturday, William Foran was appointed assistant chief of the Rlainville hose company to suc- ceed Edward P. Prior, who. is now serving as head of the department. The selection was made after the commissioners made a careful study of the personnel of the company in 1 order to name 8 capable man for the ] position. The appointment seems to 1 meet with approval although there are few that believe that Michael Sul- livan should have been promoted to the ranking of assistant chief It was the consensus before the appoint ment was made that Foreman Sulli- van would succeed to the place. MT. Foran is we'll known in the town and has been a member of the local fire department for a number of years. For several years<he served in the capacity of foreman

 Arrested for Drunkenness.
 Patrick Dolan was arrested Satur day night at the center for drunken ness. He was taken into custody about midnight by Officer Marino and placed in the local lookup. That was Saturday night and this morning he was still there owing to the fact that efforts of Officer Marino to To- cate a grand juror who would prose- cute the case were of no avail.
 Stanley 8. Civilian, one of the grand jurors, was out of town; Grand Juror Williams was unable to be in court on account of business, it is said, while A. H.. Dresser, who was re. gently elected a grand juror, refused to prosecute a case on the Sabbath day, it is claimed.
 As a result, Officer Marine had tC keep his charge in the lookup over Sunday, Court will probably be held today if a prosecutor can be secured
 Considerable comment has been heard concerning the stand taken by one juror in refusing to prosecute the case. Citizens state that formerly of lenders who were taken into custody on Saturday nights were tried the fol- lowing day. They also mention that owing to the conditions in the local lookup, it is hardly humane to keep a prisoner within the confines of the lookup longer than necessary.
 Storekeepers Light Up.
 As far as can be learned, the efforts of the state police or the local ofti- cers to locate the persons who en- tered the store of P. Hutton on Whit ing street last Tuesday have been fruitless. It seems to be another of those mysterious burglaries which are never accounted for. The thieves, it is believed were not local men, but outsiders who had planned the "job' and left for distant parts as soon as it was completed.
 Storekeepers following the rob- bery, have started to burn the mid night oil. Nearly every store in town is dimly lighted now at night as a matter of preparedness against thieves who work at night under the subtle cover of darkness. The lights are so placed in most of the stores

The remaining IS per cent of the drafted men from Berlin will be called within a few days according to a statement given out this morning 1 by Judge Benjamin I.

Judge Miller stated 1 that the names of the men who are l to go to Camp Devens have already 1 been certified and will be given out l for publication within few days. ! The reason that the sending of the ! men has been delayed, he added, was l because the board is waiting for a notice from the War Department at 1 Washington to call the men into serv- lice.
