Carnival Opens Tomorrow.

The local State Guard carnival com- nitee wishes to call the attention of all of the Plainville merchants to the fact that the carnival will begin tomorrow evening at o'clock and to request that the merchantmen dec crate their places of business with the American and Allied colors. This re- quest is made in order that the State Guardsmen will know that the bus- ness men of the town are with them. Every business man should show his patriots by at least hanging the American flag over his door. the conl- n1ittee states, It is hoped that the decoration will be up by tomorrow night and that they will be left up until after the parade on Saturday.
 The carnival will begin in full at ' o'clock tomorrow night and will be open until 12 o'clock each evening. The biggest day of all will be Satur- day when a competitive drill will he held under the command of Captain T. H. Trumbull. Races and athlet events of all description will also be held Saturday afternoon and early in the evening. Most all of the local societies have signified their inten- tions of participating in the carnival. Up to the present, time several booths have been erected, some of which will be under the auspices of the War Savings Stamp com mittee, the Red Cross chapter, the Cathode Patriotic Chapter and others. The War Sav- ings Stamp both will probably attract considerable attention as it is planned to make it one of the best booths on the grounds
 The carnival is for the benefit of the local State Guard, the Red Cross and to supply the local boys in France with tobacco and cigarettes. By par ticipating in the carnival every per son in town who contributes liberally to the War Savings Stamps and the Red Cross will have tried to help the government and their friends.
 Mem bers of the State Guard put aside drilling last evening and went to Pierces field with hammer, nails and saws and erected the booths for the State Guard carnival which opens tomorrow and continues for four days. The members are enthusia stic concerning the prospects for success,

 Sco1iniclS Sues Coancis.
 Joseph scolinick of this town has brought suit through Judge E. F. Gaffney against Mario and Guiseppt Cianci for $1,50O. The case arose out of an alleged broken agreement on the part of Cianci for the purchase of the Globe cafe. Cianci, through A. Halpern of New Britain, recent ly negotiated for the purchase of the Globe cafe. Through some reason the deal did not meet with the ap- proval of one of the parties and was dropped. Halpern then sued both parties for the money which he was to have earned as commission for en- gineering the deal. The new suit is now brought by Sco1inick, who claims that one of the stipulations of their contract was that properties of even value were to be transferred, and in of hal nf ho the money was to go to the other party.

PR0FITEER RAIDERS
 STOP IN THIS CITY
Federal Agents Visit Factories In
 Nationwide Trip

Federal officers made formal raids yesterday throughou the country wis., lung ofhcerS of war munitions con- cefns to secure papers which may, in some instances, show evidence of con- tlngent fee agents on government con- tracts. The Departm ent of Justice men visited several local concerns as well as offices in Hartford, Meriden, Middletown and Bridgeport. -
 It has been reported to government officials that there is a nationwide con- splracy between manufa cturers and contractors, agents in Washington to solicit war orders from the govern- nent under some agreement whereby commissioners are to be illegally paid. As a result of this information, the Department of Justice made simul- taneous raids on hundreds of manu- featuring concerns throughout the United States in search for papers or other evidence which would tend to show the scope of this alleged illegal practice.
 No Trouble Expected Here.
 It Is extremely doubtful if the raids in this city will disclose any papers giving evidence of importance to the federal authorities as New Britain
 
 work--and radically every one is do- ing something along this line-have been securing their contracts direct from the governmental departments and without the aid of any intermedi ate agents, it is said.
 In addition to the Connecticut cities above named, raids were conducted yesterday ct the following places throughout the country: New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago. Brook lyn. San Francisco, Jersey City, Phila- delphiar Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cincin- natl, Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, O., Detroit. Milwaukee, Minnea polis Prov idence, Bufflo. Niagara Falls.

 Advertise for Contracts. According to the information in the | hands of the department of justice, l working in cooperation with war l and navy departments, there are 1 many brokerage. and contingent fee 1 individuals and corporations in Wash ] ington, New York and other cities 1 Some of them boldly circularize the l rnanufa cturers of the country saying g | that they have close relationships with some or all of the departments of the government, and in some in l stances influence with individuals in l these departments, sinister in charac- l ter, which give them power to obtain ] favorable contracts for their clients.
