 What might be called one of the
 most sensational events occurring in
 the town in sometime. was the arrest
 and trial of Postmaster A. B. Good rich, who appeared before Judge George G. Griswold at the Berlin Town Court, this morning, charged with assault.
 The arrest of Postmaster Goodrich
 followed the complaint issued by Mrs.
 C. J. Boardmann, who asserted that
 Postmaster Goodrich, on Saturday aft ernoon assaulted her daughter, Ellen,
 while she was roller skating on the
 main sidewalk in front of the post
 office. The warrant was sworn out

 urday and was served yesterday after
 noon by Constable Enrico Pola.
 Senator Broder of Hartford. ap-
 peared for the accused, waived the
 reading of the charge and pleaded not
 guilty for his client. Prosecutor Glb-
 ney then called the following witnesses to the stand; Mrs. c. J. Boardman,
 Howard Gibney, Ellen Boardman and Violet Schurr. They testified that on Saturday afternoon Postmater Good rich came running out of the post office and grabbed the Boardman child by the wrist and threw her off the sidewalk. The two girls also rio c Postmaster Goodrich had forbidden them to roller skate on the sidewalk in front of the post office and had call Aaed them names.
 sY f,awyer Broder objected to any evi- dence given occurring previous to Sat. \ ,1rday's occurrence, the objection was sustained but later he asked that this evidence be declared. Prosecutor C1ib- nev then brought out that Postmaster Goodrich had on numerous occasions taken the law into his own hands in A stead of making a complaint to the g prsper authorities. MT. Goodrich testi fled that he had been told by the children that they had secured per mission from the local authorities tt skate on the walk and denied making any threats or assaults on any of tht children. He stated that on last Sat 6 urday afternoon he noticed the chll dren in a procession skating on the walk and asked them to keep oft al they wore abusing patrons of the pos office, When the Boardman chllt

Treasury Department Advises Agains
 Selling Government Securities.

The chamber of commerce has re- gently received several letters from the treasury department at Washing ton urging that it make every effort to persuade Liberty bond holders not to sell their bonds unless it is abso- lutely necessary. There are one or two concerns i'll New Britain that en- courage the sale of bonds and war savings stamps and do so with large display signs in their front windows.
 The chamber asks the public to consider before they call upon these agencies just what their real motive is Liberty bonds were bought for two very good reasons-to win the war and as investments. The war is won but the investment is not yet cOmD1pted

citizens committee was appointed some time ago in Plainville to prepare : plans for a welcome celebration and ! reception for local men returning g from the Army and Navy. Owing to the fact that no publicity was given to the committee, a great deal of misun- derstanding resulted and the commit tee was criticized for not doing any thing definite in the way of a recep- tion.
 At a recent meeting of the com- mittee it was decided to make a re- port of the activities of the body so that it might be given to the public and prevent further misund ding.
 At the second meeting of the citi- zens' committee held on January P, the following men were appointed an executive committee to select sub- committees and arrange for the re- ception: $. $. GWillim, chairman; J. H. Trumbull, c. H. Newton, John A. Lamb and William E. Cafferty. These men are we'll known in Plainville and were very active in all war work in cluding Liberty Loan drives, Red Cross drives and the sale of War Savings Stamp ps, and the work of arranging the details of such a reception as will be held in Plainville may be entrusted to them with the expectation of it's being we'll done.
 The executive committee met imme- diately after the meeting of the citi- zens' committee and again on Febru- ary 4, when sub-committees were ap- pointed and plans made for the cele- bration, to be held, it is expected, on June 25, when nearly all of the boys will undoubtedly be home.

 Thompson New Fire Warden.
 Frank c. Thompson has received the appointment of forest fire warden for Plainville for the year 1919. He has been one of the most active mem- bers of the fire departm ent for a num- Der of years and the other members feel that he deserved the appointment for his work. All forest fires should be reported to MT. Thompson and not to Chief Edward F. Prior.
 Ladies Plan Entertainment.
 The Ladies Altar society of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy is plan ming an entertainment to be given shortly before the beginning of the Lenten season. It is not known what form the entertainment will take, but it will be composed of talent picked from among tho members of the church. It is some time since an en- tertainment has been presented for the benefit of the church. and the newly organized Altar society is the first or ganization in the parish to become ac- tive in that way.
 New Club for Boys.
 John Turner has organized a club for the boys of the town with head quarters in Grange hall. The library recently vacated the rooms in Grange hall and Turner rented the hall, fitted it up comfortably and secured several members. They have brought in their friends and the club has fairly large membership. The boys may play cards or read and it is planned to se- cure a billiard table for the rooms.

SCIENCE MAKES
 ITEM DURABLE So-These Soles Save You Shoe Money

'*I have been wearing my shoes with Neolin Soles nearly a year, and they are apparently in as good condition as wfenIbought them. "--written August, 1918, by VIII. Cooke. Officer, A. F, France.
 Only Ne0lin Soles could endure a test like this. That they do so is because of the tough durability built into them by scientific process. To cut your shoe bills down, buy shoes with these long-wearing soles. They come in many styles for men, women, and children.
 Remember-Ne6lin Soles are flexible and waterproof, too, and are available everywhere for re-soling. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rub- Der Co.,, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to out wear all other heels.

Mrs. Mumm Fights To Be
+ an American Citi-
| zen Again

international marriages are not
happy. The dreamsN Of youth pic
ture q state Of happiness that does
not last. This case was no excep-
ton. During the period Of gesta-
ton and motherhood, when the
husbands affection and tender at
tentions were most needed by his
wife, he yielded to tire heguilements
Of the gay capitals OF the continent.
He gambled without a limit. He
did not omit wine and women in his
excuses. He forfeited his right 10
the affections Of his wife.
The world war broke out. The
necessity Of making change in the
place of residence Of the Mumm
family was imperative. They must
either move to Germany or be in
termed in France. 50 Mrs. Mumm
went to Germany with her husband,
to country she did not like. and
with a man who had forfeited his
right to her affection. She resided
there for time under intolerab,e
conditions. She then went to Bcrno
and resided in Switzerland until the
close Of the war. Then the State
Department permitted her to return
to the United States, her native
land and the land she loved. Now
it is important to her and to her
child that she be in a position to
assert her rights to her property In
France.
She has large property interests
in her husbands estate. Her own
property is there, hex household
goods End much OF her wearing ap-
parel are in Paris. She cannot even
secure handkerchief from her
personal effects, all the property be-
ing III control Of the Alien Property
Custodian in France, and she, being
| rated as German citizen, cannot
assert ho, rights TO it.
The government of France Is tc-
day disposing Of much OF the prop
erty Of the Mumm estate. She can
not by proper proceedings protect
her interest in that estate because
Of her citizenship. If she were an
American citizen the courts Of
France would give recognition to
her claim, 80 she could protect her
interests in her own property and
her interest in the property of her
husband. That is the purpose for
which this application fog tho req
