rich, late of New Britain, within said
district deceased.

BOY IN COURT ORDERED
TO GO HOME FOR BATH

Ten youngsters were presented
before Prosecuting Attorney Geo.
w. Klett this morning for petty
thefts. A gang of five carried off
a quantity of pig iron. There
were over a dozen pieces and
how the little chaps lifted them
was q puzzle. The parents were
advised to give them q good
spanking.
A trio broke into & store and
stole some trit1es. The gang
loyalty was absent in this case.
Their tongues were well lOOSened
and they quickly shifted respon-
sibility. One squealed on another
for stealisg bottles back of one
saloon and selling them at the
next door saloon. The accused
thought that was a good joke.
Two boys were caught stealing
fruit this morning and one Of
them was sentenced to go home
and take q bath and report back
at the police station at o'clock.
Desuite the fact that his face
and legs were dirty he insisted he
washed his face this morning and
explained that he dirtied his legs
playing baseball Sunday. The
other boy was locked up for a
little while.

BRING IN THE BABIES
Tomorrow Is Last Day for Weighing
Children Under Five Years of Age
Warm Weather Creates Apathy.

Little interest seems to be shown in
the Child's Welfare campaign today.
Tomorrow is the last day of the
campaign, and it is the hope of the
committee that every child in the
city, under five years of age, who
has not been weighed and measured
at the weighing stations, will have
been attended to by tomorrow eve
ming. The estimated baby popula-
ton is about 5000. Saturday after
noon, it was reported that nearly A.
900 babies had been weighed and
measured since the opening of the
campaign. This leaves one-fifth to
be taken care of in this manner be-
fore tomorrow evening at 5 o'clock,
when activities cease.
1t was impossible to obtain a re-
port of the total number weighed
and measured up to this noon, as was
done from day to day since the cam
paign opened. Whether it is due to
the depressing weather, or whether
it is because of lack of interest in
the movement. that the work has
been tagging ever since Saturday
morning, is not known. Saturday
morning, both the East street and
Lincoln street schools were closed be-
cause there were no DOCTORS or nurses
present, and mothers who came with
their babies were sent home again. At
the Bartlett school adults and chill
dren were obliged to wait until after
10 O'Clock before they were attend
ed to, as there was no nurse until aft
er that time. Today the work has a
tendency to lag, and when report
of the results was asked for, there
was none to give.
The last figures obtained from the
Bartlett school, which was Saturday,
were 1888, showing that school to be
in the lead. The committee, realiz
ing that the, work in this district
would be much harder than in any
other district, tried to make provi-
sions accordingly, with quite good re-
suits. The figures show that nearly
all babies in that district have been
weighed and measured. Yesterday
afternoon, the Bartlett school was
open for work, but very few babies
were taken there then. The commit
tee desires to finish the work tomor--
row and urges all doctors and nurses
who can possibly spare the time, to
assist in the work. A report, showing
the total results OF the campaign Will
he, issued as soon as possible, after

MACHINE co. BUYS
LAND FOR ROADWAY
Purchases Ten Acres of Land in Ber-
lin. and Immediately Sells
Most to Mrs. Towers.

An unusual series of property
transfers. in which the same piece of
property changed hands twice with
in few hours, were recorded in the
Berlin town clerks office today.
On April Is Henry Donnelly pur-
chased 10 acres of land, formerly
owned by the estate of Patrick Dewitt,
which was located on the Berlin
branch railroad and south of the es-
tate of the late Joseph Towers. The
New Britain Machine Co, through the
agency of T. W. O'Connor, purchased
this ten acres from Mr.. Donnelly and
through the same agency Immediate
ly re-sold it to Mrs. Lucy Towers, re-
tanning only a 40 1-2-foot passage
way from the New Britain Machine
company plant, east of the tracks, to
the Beach Swamp road. This pas
sageway will be used for company
trucks and employees and will lead
through a culvert under the railroad
tracks.
In the deed given to Mrs. Towers,
the Machine company grants her the
privilege Of running a small railroad
line over the private roadway and
this will give the Towers estate the
right, should it be so decided, to fur
Their develop the clay banks in that
vicinity, using a miniature electric
railway line to speed up the work of
carting the clay.
