FIRST YEAR H. 5.
 TO START IN FALL Wednesday Graduates of Junior High Not Going to New Britain AWARDED COAL CONTRACT
George Baldwin Will Fill the Bins At the Berlin Schools For Next Year Grange ns-ScOtt Nup- tials-Interesting News in Brief.

The first year class of the Senior High school will be conducted In Berlin next year, according to an an nouncement made this morning by Superintendent B. R. Showalter fol- lowing the acceptance of the plan at recent meeting of the school com mittee The members of the graduat- ing class of the Junior High school were given an opportunity today to choose their subjects for next year s study.
 The plans contemplated by the school authorities will offer a college preparatory course, normal prepar- atory course, a general course and a commercial course. In all of these courses the subjects taught will equal those of the New Britain High school with the exception of German ana Spanish At present arrangements have. not been completed for these two storeign languages but French and Latin will be taught.
 AS in the Junior High school, 1t will be impossible to offer courses Tn the manual arts until the new build ing is ready. When the contemplat- ed building is completed it is expect ed that all courses will be given.
 First Class To Graduate.
 The class which will graduate from the Berlin Junior High school on Wednesday evening of this week will also have the honor of being the f1rst class to graduate from the Berlin Senior High school.
 The sophomores and juniors at the New Britain High school this past year will continue to attend the New Britain school, but no new members will attend. At the end of three years time there will be no pupils from Berlin entering the New Britain school
 Money Is Saved.
 If the present graduating class or the Junior High school was sent to New Britain next year, it is f1gured that it would cost the town of Berlin s4.SOO for tuition alone. In addition to this there would be approximately $500 for transportation. A great deal of this money will be saved inasmuch as the work for the junior and senior departments at the high school here can be taken care of with only the additional cost of one teacher.
 It is planned by the school author.

Kansas City, Mo-. Aug. 29-The
swirling, sullen depths of the Mis-
souri, river are expected TO reveal
the evidence of weird murder to-
day.
A man, bound hand and foot and
lashed to the wheel of a motor car,
lies at the bottom of an eighteen
foot eddy on the Kansas side of
the river at Nearman, near here,
Wyandotte county officials assert.
At least dozen other automo-
biles are on the river bottom at
this point, divers assert,
They fear other bodies may be
found
Discovery Of the dead man was
made when operatives of the ,sher-
ifs office attempted TO raise one
of the sunken machines.
The car was brought nearly to
the surface of the river with tackle.
William Berkson, one Of the inves-
tigators, stepped from a motor boat
to the hood of the submerged ma
chine. 7~
Stepping over the windshield, he
placed his foot on mans hand, he
said.
Il was shocked and attempted to
step back to the hood again" Berk-
son told newspaper men.
"My foot became entangled in
ropes that bound the body to the
steering wheel. It was a gruesome
job to disentange myself"
AS soon as Berkson had gotten
back into the launch again the
ropes which were supporting the
sunken car slipped, and the car
with its burden of death dropped
back into the muddy depths of the
river again.

the i3 miners entombed since mid.
night Sunday In the Argonaut gold
mine.
One party fought fire In the main

A second party was sent to the
$500 foot level OF the Kennedy mine
adjoining the Argonaut. and began
digging foverishly in hopes of OPP
ening a six hundred foot tunnel In.
to the Argonaut in time to bring
out alive the entomber miners.
Picked miners were sent into the
Kennedy shaft in tho belief thet

To fight tho fire in the main

feet of perforated pipe were low.

and water pumped through ii, 30 as

leading off horizontally into. tho
various levels. II was believed that
in this manner the fire gradually
couldbe fought back. permitting
men to go deeper and deeper down
the shaft.
Thus far the fire fighters have
made no progress but have con.
sidered themselves fortunate in
having been able to prevent the
spread of the fire to higher levels.
To guard against fire fighters who
enter the mine being trapped by
the blaze spreading to levels above
them, axe men were sent down to
cut away the timbering for several
hundred feet above 1900 feet.
Miners declared today that enough
water has been poured into the
mine thus far to flood the 1900 foot
level and possibly reach the 1900
foot level where the entomber men
were working when they were
trapped.
