GYPSIES ARE OUSTED
Former Member of Rowing Band Com
 plains-Dislikes Motor Cars.

Morristown. N. J., Aug. 21.-Naylor Harrison, former gypsy king. who has amassed wealth through horse trad ing, summoned the police yesterday to eject a band of alien gypsies camping on his estate at Madison. There are 15 men and women and 20 children in the band led by man named Costello. Harrison says they are real ly Turks and Bohemians. Some time ago he permitted them to camp on his land on Lake road, but their prac- tices do not coincide with his views on gypsology. In the first place, liar rison said, gypsies who keep automo- piles instead of horses don't amount to much; and another thing the wom- en folks of the band don't dress right. They wear bright red turbans yellow dresses and metal beads as big as door knobs. This style does not ap- peal to the English gypsies. of which Harrison is one.
 But Harrison's main objection is that the gypsies stop motorists and others and ask to tell their fortunes. Costello assured the police he would break camp Wednesday, when one of the band, now in a hospital, is dis charged and in the meantime would stop soliciting trade

 stalling the power circuits between i Elm street and Black Rock bridge
 along the railroad right of way and connecting these lines to the new
 sub station at Corbin Place in order to supply additional power load which has been coming on. This job can not be completed for several weeks
 as it can only be done on Saturday lafternoons or Sundays when most of the factories are not operating, other wise it will be necessary to interrupt the service to the factories.
 This work is part of the program that the company has been working on for the past year or so in provid- ing additional and better facilities. Efforts are being made to push the work along IS fast as possible to com petion so as 10 handle the growing demand for power in New Britain,
 The work, involving a considerable expenditure of money, will result in giving New Britain a still more re- liable and better service and a greater capacity than has heretofore been possible. This summer the lightning and other storms have been particu- larly frequent and severe resulting in some Interruptions to the service, Un- fortunately the new work, which when completed. will go a long way towards reducing this trouble was not far enough advanced to be in operat- ing condition during the early part of the summer. Every week sees the work further advanced and it is be-
 ieved that next summer the ability of the local system to withstand dis turbances resulting from electrical and other storms will be very much better than heretofore and that the will be very few and far between.
