FOUR MEN HAVE CLOSE
 CALL ON CROSSING
Work Train Wrecks Auto on Church Street
 Crossing

Four men narrowly escaped being killed or seriously injured on the Church street crossing early Tuesday morning when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by a train. Probably the only thing that saved them was that the train was proceeding slowly when the accident occurred. The accident took place about 5.45 a. m.
 The car was a rebuilt Overland and was being driven by Marcello Picchini, who is employed at a garage in Sheffield, Mass. 1t is said that he was carrying workmen to Sharon. One man sat with the driver and the other two sat on top of some tires in the back. The car was carried several feet, demolishing the rear end, smashing the wheels, etc, and apparently the men were so frighten- ed they could not move, for they sat as if turned to stone when the train was brought to a stop.
 Whether or not the car was tra- yelling at an excessive tate of speed cannot be learned. The fagman does not come on duty until ' o'clock and the crossing is left unguarded during the night.

POLICE AID FOR FARMERS
Thefts of Garden Truck Should be
 Reported Promptly

In recent years the farmers have complained of the loss of garden and orchard products suffered at the hands of thieves who make their in- roads into the country by automobile. The State Police have organized their daily patrols in the rural districts of Connecticut so as to afford the Iarg- est amount of protection possible to the farmers who suffer from these depredations. Superintendent Robert T. Hurley of the State Police is de- termined to discourage the practice of raiding gardens and state officers have been instructed to be on the lockout for this particular kind of thief.
 It has been discovered by the po- lice that there are certain times of day and night when the gardens make their greatest appeal to those who are disposed to harvest the fruits of the farmers labor without themselves doing any of the disagreeable work of planting and cultivating. Some individuals have even gone so far as to make regular business of raiding truck gardens.
 The rendition of proper assistance to the farmers in this connection IS one of the many seasonal problems of the State Police. To the end that the most effective work may be done by the patrols, the closest co-opera- tion by the farmers themselves is requested, in giving prompt notice of actual thefts and conditions to head quarters or to anyone of the State Police barracks located in various parts of the State.

STOCKING TWIN LAKES
 WITH ADULT PICKEREL
Perch and Bullheads, Also
 Smallmouth Bass .. Coming

Fishing in the lakes and ponds of Litchfeld County will be much inn proved in the next few years, due to the activity of the State Fish and | Game Commission. The commission, assisted by expert fishermen from the Connecticut river and Lake On tario are netting Goshen Pond, water supply for the town of Torrington, in which fishing is prohibited and placing the fish in the different lakes of the county.
 Winthrop Cone of Norfolk is su- pervising the work of netting the fish and up to date about 1000 pickerel, perch and bullheads and a few bass have been netted. Of this number about 900 have been placed in Twin Lakes. The fish placed in the lakes weigh up to four pounds and are full of spawn. This intro duction of new blood it is believed will increase the size of fish during the next several years.
 MT. Cone and his assistants, and Ernest Burke, deputy warden of Torrington, are working day and night, using the ike net and house net. The latter has wings or leaders about four hundred feet long, which lead to the 'house"' which is about six feet square, in which the fish be- come confused and are unable to find their way out. Hauling the house part of the net to the surface, the fishermen use a dip net to take the fish, which are deposited in boat full of water until they reach shore. They are then sorted and counted and placed in cans for immediate shipment to the lake designated.
 It is expected that MT. Cone and his crew will start netting Whist pond this week. This abounds in smallmouth bass, the greatest game fish known to fresh water. The number which will be placed in Twin Lakes depends entirely on the catch, but we are assured that our share will be forthcoming if transportation is provided.
 The introduction of adult fish dur ing the breeding season is new ex- pertinent and originated with MT. Cone and Fred c. Wolcott, president of the State Fish and Game Commis- sion. It is said to be the first time that such methods have been used in the United States.

C. N. E. Sued for $5OO,OOo

The New York Central 6 Hudson River Railroad Company have brought suit for $5OO,0OO against the Central New England Railway Company for alleged breach of con- tract.

LURIA's TRIAL POSTPONED
Decision in Nick Cicero Case Will
 Be Given Friday

Due to the fact that Attorney Thomas Ryan, representing Louis Luria, charged with conspiracy to break and enter freight cars, insists on a jury trial for his client the ac- cused may not be tried before next Fall. Attorney Ryan argued the matter before Judge George E. Hin man, prior to the trial of Nick Cicero alleged co-conspirator, but at that time Judge Hinman refused to call in the jury or to try the defendant in a case of this kind when the co-defen- dant is to be tried by himself.
 Ciceres trial before Judge Hinman was finished last week and the deci- sion will be given next Friday. A charge of murder has also been filed against Luria which makes it inn possible for him to secure his free dom on bail and unless his attorney decided to permit the trial of the accused by the judge it is considered likely that the accused will remain behind the bars until the fall term of the court.

STRANGE ACTIONS OF
 GOLDEN WOODPECKER

A Golden Woodpecker or Yel- low Hammer, has been arousing the residents of West Main street the past week by drumming on metal cornice on the roof of Charles Smiths house. The bird comes to the house shortly after daybreak and the ringing sound which emanates from the appli- cation of it's bill vigorously applied to the metal cornice is similar to an alarm clock. H. B. Ives says that the bird is lady woodpecker and that is her love call. As H. B. knows all about such things we'll accept this as the answer.

CANAAN WILL LOSE
 ITS LITTLE FACTORY
Decision Reached Some Time
 Ago by Officials of Company

A party of local business men held conference with officials of the Union Hardware Company at Tor rington on Monday, for the purpose of determining if some means could be found to keep the local branch in operation here. The company aad already reached decision however, showing that it would be unprofitable to longer operate the plant here. Therefore they have erected a new plant at Torrington for the machin- cry now being used here where the work will be carried on.
 The officials of the Union Hard ware Co.,, were pleased to receive the local business men and to find that they were interested in retaining the factory. They stated that since coming to this town, their relations with business men, town. officials and the help employed had been very pleasant and if it was not for the additional cost of production nere under present conditions they would be delighted to stay.
 The company's lease expires on August 1st and it is probable that the plant will be operated until that time. The transportation problem has been only part of the difficulties experienced and it would be unprofit- able to operate the plant longer. Following is a copy of letter from the company to the Business Mems Association:
 Canaan Business Mems Association, Canaan, Connecticut.
 Gentlemen:-
 Attention MT. Joseph L. Parsons,
 President.
 We are in receipt of your letter of March 30th in which you state that there is a rumor that we are about, to build an additional factory and that we are considering doing so in Ca- naan.
 In reply will say that the only building that we have under consid- eration at this time is a large store house 200 fit. by 60 fit. and the fac tory building 100 fit. by 60 it, two stories high and these are to be erected in Torrlngton. Our purpose in putting up the factory building is to enable us to manufacture the rolls in Torrington which are now being made at our Canaan Branch. We have found difficulties very great in operating this Canaan Branch in connection with our Torrington Plant, transportation being very difficult during the spring months and we have, therefore, practically decided to close the Canaan Plant at the expiration of our lease which will be in August of this year.
 We are very sorry indeed to be obliged to reach this decision but feel that we are obliged to do so.
 Very truly your,
 Union Hardware Company |

POOLED PRICE DOWN TO $1.331a FOR APRIL No Change in Prices of Milk for Next
 Month

Checks will be issued by the Dairymen's League Cooperative Association, Inc, on May twenty fifth to pay for April milk. The pooled price after deductions are made for expenses, advertising, de- preciation, etc, is $1.335 per hun dred pounds for three per cent milk at the 201-210 mile zone. From this thefarmers loan to their Association ten cents hundred pounds for the acquiring of plants and equipment, for which certificates of' indebted ness are issued. This deduction has been reduced from the usual loan of twenty cents hundred because of the low price. The cash price paid farmers is $.165 below the cash price for March If consideration is given to the increased volume of pooled milk for April over that for March, poolers will receive more total money for April even though the pooled price declined somewhat. The price, however, is below the farmers cost of production and is due to the large volume of milk and also to the fact that minority of the dairymen have failed to support the pool.
 A statement which will accompany the April checks to poolers shows that 51,823 members participated in the April pool. The actual number, however, will be approximately 54,000 because not all of the dealers have reported at this time. Of the 51,823 members already reported in the pool, 36,808 delivered milk to 637 plants operated by dealers and 15,016 members delivered to 127 plants operated by the Cooperative Association. It will be noted that aside from the large amount of milk which the Cooperative Association sells to the regular dealers, it is becoming very large factor in the market because of the large number of plants which it operates itself.
 Milk Prices Same for June
 Producers milk prices for June will remain the same as the May prices, according to a statement issued today by the Dairymen's Lea que Cooperative Association, Inc.
 The price schedule for 100 pounds of three per cent milk at the 201- 210 mile freight zone, with custom ary differentials for freight and but terfat, is as follows:
 Class Fluid milk for city dis tribution, $175.
 Class Milk for cream, ice cream, plain condensed and soft cheeses, $1.50.
 Class 3-Milk for sweetened con- densed and evaporated, milk powder and hard fancy cheeses, 20 cents per 100 pounds over price of milk for butter.
 Class ,4-Milk for butter and American cheese, based on average wholesale prices of these products during month of June.-
 Dealers will pay the Association et the rate of $.0427 per quart for average milk (3.6 per cent butterfat) for city distribution.
 Prices usually are lower in June than in May but a cold dry spring has resulted in poor pastures and a falling off in production. Market conditions for dairy products are also
