 New Plans

Leon Sprague, president of the Ro- tary club and former secretary of the Chamber of Commerce has been asked to give his opinion of new hotel in New Britain and in the following statement asks the New Britain peo- pie for their support:
 If l were asked, what one definite thing was most needed in New Brit ain. would answer. a new modern up the minute hotel And asked, why, my answer would be four-fold.
 "First--A municipality cannot hope to compete with other fast growing communities. and provide the induce ment for visitors to look over our city, unless there Is place suitable to give the right kind of comfort during their stay there.
 "Second-A new hotel, properly managed,--with the right appoint ments, and set up will do more in one day than many civic organiza- tions can do in a long time to con- vince prospective new corners to New Britain that is a live date com munity.
 "Third-A hotel, newly built, pro- viding space for individuals as well as organizations to gather and fraternize allowing for entertainment of friends, and gusest, will do more to

 WINE TO POLICEMEN Klett Advises Cops Against Practice of Drinking Too
 Much for Evidence

At the continued hearing in the case of Primo Marino of 2S5 Myrtle street, in police court this morning, the accused was fined s75 and costs by Judge George Klett on charg. of keeping liquor with intent to sell. Judge Klett in giving his sentence stated that from the testimony pre- scented yesterday by Officers Frank Grampico and William Schmidt he believed that Marine was guilty of selling liquor. The judge said that the testimony of Grampico showed that Marine knew him to be an officer of the law and when he came to his home or restaurant provided him with food and also gave him wine.
 Continuing, the judge said that it was odd that Marine should employ Grampico to do some work for him and then pay him s17.9O for his services and expenses when he only made one trip to Hartford. Judge Klett also stated that he does no. believe a policeman should get money for such services rendered.
 The judge said that he did not be- lieve it was necessary for the officer of the law to take enough liquor to make him feel good in order to se- cure evidence against supposed vio- lator of the law. But with the fac, that Marine accepted marked two dollar bill, that the wine made the officers feel good" and the testimony

EXONERATES SHADE
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Democratic Nominee Re. leased by Coroner in
 Death of MOtorcyclist

New Haven, Sept. 2s - Benjamin Slade, attorney and nominee for at torney general on the democratic state ticket, is held by Coroner Mix in q finding today to have been without blame in the collision of his automo- bile and motorcycle and sidecar or the Hartford turnpike at Wallingford on Wednesday night in which Frank Litterer, of New York, was killed.
 The summing up of the evidence is given in these words:
 T find the operator of the motor vehicle (Sade) was operating 1t al the time of said collision in careful manner, having the same under com reasonably could to avoid said col lision."
 The finding says that Slade assisted Litterer and Charles Fasnacht, driver of the motorcycle into a passing ve- hicle, and went with them to New Haven hospital, having previously left his car with a person who resided in the vicinity and who was aware of the collision. Immediately after ar irving at the hospital he notified the coroner of the occurrence.
 The finding also says that the op- orator of the motorcycle, wearing goggles at the time was unfamiliar with the highway and its surround ings and the effect of the lights of the approaching machine on his eye glasses led him into the fatal error of crossing said highway from the easterly to the westerly side and into the approaching motor vehicle"
 Although bottle of whiskey was in the sidecar and both the operator and Litterer had drunk from it the cor oner finds that the operator was not under its influence

C0MMuN|TYC CORP. WORK FOR THE ROTARY CLUB Members Discuss Advis- ability of Collecting
 Funds.

l The adisability of the New Britain
 Rotary club assuming the lesponsi
 bility and taking over the work of the l United Community corporation ir
 raising funds for the various local
 charities each year was discussed at
 the weekly meeting of the club mem
 bers, held today at the Elks club on
 Washington street.
 | Abram Buol in addressing the mem
 bers of the club said that he felt the | Rotary club should assume the re sponsibiity of the work of the United Community corporation in raising its | funds rather than see the organiza : tion fall short by several thousands of dollars when it launches campaign. Mir. Buo was of the opinion that in this manner the Rotary club would be helping the many charitable institu- tions in the city and would not be in back of just one organization. A motion was introduced by George
 McAuley to the effect that the club
 assume the responsibility of the cor
 porations work and was seconded by
 Rev J. Leo Sullivan.
 E. Clayton Goodwin and Johnstone
 Vance both spoke in opposition to the motion, claiming that committee
 had been appointed to look into the proposition of securing work for the Rotary club to do this winter and up on the motion of Mr. Goodwin it was voted to table MT. McAuleys motion until the committee had reported at future meeting. Ernest Pelton is chairman of the committee and has Dyson and Stanley Holmes to work with him.
 On a motion introduced by Dugald McMillan, it was voted by the mem bers that the club as an organization get in back of the new hotel project and push 1t both individually and col lectively.
 President Leon Sprague announced that the Rotary club will work in conjunction with the New Britain Lions club in providing for the en- tertainment of over 800 boys at the Older Boys conference of the Y. NJ. c. A. to be held in this city on Oc- tober 27, 2S and 29 Both of these clubs will work in cooperation with the clergymen. Raymond Leach and Max Unkelbach were appointed as a of two to work with the Lions committee.
 Ii was also announced by President Sprague that pr. Charles E. Barker, well known physician, will address the local club at a noon hour lunch | con to be held on Wednesday, Novem- Der 1 the same day that he will speak | to High school students and at gath ering of men in the evening and wom- 1 an in the afternoon.
 Following the luncheon an open dis | ,ussion was held as to what work and | projects the local club should under take this fall There were sugges- ions as to placing street signs, safety irst campaigns, the municipal collec- ion of garbage, helping the Children's Home, doing educational extension work and getting in back of the United Community corporation.
 The discussion was a continuation If the one of last week and com- nittee was appointed to meet previous o the next gathering to present a re- port as to what work they thought he club should do.
