The borough ct Kensington ia much larger than tho Worthington district and is. more thickly inhabited. 1t is thought by several people that if an extra tax must be laid for these Improvements if will not need be as large as the one in Berlin. A prominent Kensiugton resident said this morning that he thought that the Kensington residents would be willing to pay the extra as- sessment If they could have tho in.- provements.
 Tho whole story will be retold at tho town meeting and 1t ia expected that thia will bu ono of tho largest gatherings of the townspeoplo ever held.
 Condition of Streets.
 Tho selectmen have had several teams and carts about the town filling in tho bad spots of tho different roads and at times completely repairing the entire road bed. Nevertheless. thera are several roads in Kensington that have not been touched and with the muddy condition that is prevalent at present the roads are almost hupass- able. on Maple street it is not possi- bio to drive an automobile. This is considered one of the main streets in the town and the people residing on tho street feel that the town should make an attempt to remedy COndi- tions. Other streets. in addition to all outlying streets which are in need of repair. are Four Rod highway ana the lower end of Main street On some of tho streets the town has scrapped the dirt from the gutter up into the center of the street but when a storm came 1t washed it back into the gutter and the conditions are the same.
 Near second Class Mark.
 The Kensington post office. now rated as a third class office is grad ually working towards the second class mark. Latest post office bulle- tins shows that when an office re- ports a sale of sS.000 a year in stamps the office becomes listed as second class. The business done in the Ken sington office last year through the sale of stamps only amounted to $6,- TAO. Parcel post sales in the offices are not listed in counting towards the change.
 It is interesting to note that all offices who handle below $1,5OO bus mess Tn sales or SIdTlpS lS IlStSu oS q fourth class office. From s1 800 to Ss,O0o a third class office and from ss.00O to $4O.OOO second class. All offices selling more than $40.OOO a year in stamps is n first class office.

 The second team. of the Worthing- ton Athletic association won it's fifth consecutive game last night at the Town Hall, by score of 24-20, when they defeated the Comets team of the New Britain Boys club. Cash man was the star player for the To- calls.
 Children Careless.
 There havo been several complaints of late in regards to the children of the town playing in the various streets and gutters. Going to and coming from school the children are seen to stop in the road. which often times is on the main highway. to play in some small puddle or something of that sort and will ignore the blow

Cleveland, June 10.-Three genera
tions of women stand indicted on first
degree counts for the murder Of Dan
kaber, publisher, in his Lakewood
home, July Is, 1919. This circumstance
Is unique in the annals of American
criminology, ...
The women are Mrs. Eva Catherine
Kaber, 50, widow Of the murdered
man: her daughter by former mar
riage, Marian McArdle. 10, and her
mother, Mrs. Mary Brickel, So. .,....
Kaber, an invalid, was stabbed -
times in his bed at midnight. Enough
arsenic was found in his stomach to
have killed three men. 49, a.
Mrs. Brickel, in a signed statement,
declared that Mrs. Kaber had asked
her to visit the Kaber home and do
some dirty work" She declares that
Mrs. Kaber said, II am going to have
Dan killed"
Miss McArdle then admitted that she
broke open a buffet drawer with an
ice pick to give the appearance of a
visit by burglars. 80
/ But there is no weakening in the
story Of Mrs. Kaber. Whatever they
aaid-whether Marian said it, or my
mother-it's lie," she declares.
Both Mrs. Brickel and Miss McArdlc
deny they witnessed the stabbing OF
Kaber. The police are working on two
theories Of the: stabbing:
One A man was hired to kill
Kaber. ... ..+
Two-A woman dressed as a man
welded the stiletto :-. :
The triple arrest follows two years
of unrelenting pursuit by Moses kab-
er, aged father of the victim. He ded-
icated the rest Of his life to appre
hending his sons murderers.
4 Every clew, no matter how slight,
was followed BY private detectives
Each night these detectives reported
to Kaber and he pieced their evidence
together.
Then he submitted his findings to
police Of Lakewood and Cleveland and
the indictments followed.
