BARTLETT SCHOOL
 MAY BE RE.OPENED Over 200 Children Transfer
 From Sacred Heart School NO REGISTRATION FIGURES
Total Enrolment Not Available To- --day-New High Mark May Be Set
 In History of Public Education In
 New Britain.

The reopening of the condemned Bartlett school is made possibility by the large numbers of transfers to the public schools from the Sacred Heart school. A raise in the assess ment at the latter school has caused the parents of 200 or 300 children, formerly pupils at the Sacred Heart school to send their children to the lccal public schools, it is said. Most of these children live in the Wash ington school district, and it is thought that the great influx of new pupils will overcrowd that building.
 The schools have not been able to figure out their registrations as yet, but If the Washington school shows number greater than it can accommodate, the old Bartlett school at the corner of Broad and Grove streets may have to be opened again, although it has been condemned as unsafe.
 The indications are that the num- Der of pupils registered in the local

It is anticipated that the entire pro- cedure shall require about 30 min utes.
 After that the jurist, retiring 10 the divirce court from the criminal branch, will take his first vacation in three, years.

NEW LONDON MAN
 ABOARD ONE PLANE

Boston Air Port, Sept. s.-The army worlds fliers took off from the air port here today at 12:02:S0 p. m. for New York, beginning the series of jumps that will complete at &c., attle the circumnavlgation of the world. Weather conditions were good. They expect to arrive at Mitchell field at p. m.
 The fiagplane Chicago, with Flight Commander Lieut.. Lowell Fl. Smith in the pilot seat, was first away. With the new wheeled under carriage that replaced pontoons here yesterday the Chicago sped down the long shank of the T runway of the air port and had gained the air and fiy- ing speed at 12:02.30. Lieut.. Smith was off with a wave of the hand, 43 seconds in advance of the Boston II, commanded by Lieut.. Leigh Wade. The New Orleans came down the runway to take the air at 12:- 63:43.
 The world cruisers flew off for New York, their course taking them again over Boston Common where they assumed the formation for the 225 mile flight.
 Major Gen. Mason M. Patrick, f1y- ing the first of three escorting planes, was up and away a few moments later, and when the world fiiers re- T 1i ,1nrt a ffara rir~ cling the city proper, he was up to join them.
 In the wake of the world cruisers was an escorting fleet of three de- Havilands, two Martin bombers, and a navy deHaviland plane, piloted by Lieut.. H. A. Brow.
 This escort by the navy was in tended as it's last act in it's partici- patton that had taken the navy ships and men much of the way around the world with the men of the army.
 The getaway from the air port here by the world cruisers was ac- complished quickly. Returning from a box luncheon. Lieut.. Smith and his fellow fiers clambered into their cockpits, got the word from Gen. Patrick that all was ready, taxied out and were off.
 They passed over Boston again and then took up the flight to New York with Providence as their first objective, then New London, New Haven, Bridgeport and Stamford. along the shore of Long Island Sound
 Advance Guard
 Lieut.. Wright headed an advance guard of four deHaviland planes that left the air port for Mitchell field at 10:30.
 At that time lieut.. Smith and his fellow world f1iers were slowing their studs in the round the world planes, which were stocked with gas- oine, oil and water and ready to be wheeled out of the hangars to the starting blocks.
 Reports from Mitchell field in6i- cated an increased visibility and 1nn- proved flying conditions.
 An hour before the time set for the start, the world cruising planes were on the line. General Patrick came to air port to find everything ready for the take off. He congratu- lated the fliers again on the work manlike way that they had made things ready.
 General Patrick announced that Lieutenant R. c. Moffst, who broke all records for flight between Boston and New York last week had been selected to act with Lieutenant Wright as the advance party for the world fiiers on all stages of the cross country flight.

The Boston boat City Of Bangor.

men and business men to seek that
mode of travel as naturally it Is
much cooler than the trains. 1t must
have been one of the best days that
the boat has had this year, for upon
its arrival a large number of per-
sons came up from the wharf, the
majority of the maccompanied by the
negro porters carrying their luggage.
Among the arrivals were Il girls
and several chaperones from Camp
Overlook on the Kennebec. These
girls with the natty costumes OF
white MILDLY blouses and navy blue
serge boomers made colorful
group that was the center Of interest
in the Square for about Is minutes.
The party took the car for Augusta.
all eager to inspect the State House
and Capital City. The return to
Gardiner was made shortly before the
departure of the boat.

LITTLE TOTS AND
ELDERS ENJOY
THURS. AT PARK

Strangers coming into Depot
Square about 10 o'clock Thursday
morning would have thought that the
Pied Piper of Hamelin was once
more at his work Of leading children
away. for children from all ages
were making a grand dash for the
three special electric cars that came
into the square at that hour. The
explanation to be given only to
is acquainted with the occasion.
would be that the annual Bradstreet
excursion was held Thursday at Is
land Park, therefore the pAeence of
the 400 children that took the Square
by storm.
Long before the time scheduled for
the arrival Of the cars, little tots, &C
companied by mothers or some guar
dian. were waiting. not impatient but
eager for the happy day at the park.
When the first car appeared in sight
around the curve the children made
Il concerted rush for the vantage
point and some of the more lively
boys were hanging on the isdes Of
the cars before they came to a full
stop. However. those in charge had
done their work we'll and there was
p!Cnty of room for everyone. 1t was
necessary to wait for the regular 10
o'clock car, and it was not long be-
fore some of the young Americans
had found the methods by which the
motorman could blow the fascinating
whistle and they proceeded to use
their newly acquired knowledge to
what they considered good advan-
tage. To some of the more serious
citizens in the neighborhood. it may
not have seemed useful knowledge,
but these were few, for nearly every
one smiled indulgently and remarked
that the kids were lucky to get away
on such a hot day.
The Bradstreet excursion has been
an institution in Gardiner for some
years. 1t was the inspiration of the
, late William Bradstreet, who during
his lifetime chartered steamer
every summer and gave at least 400
little children the pleasure of a sail
down the Kennebec with one of the
islands as their destination. At the
time of his death he left fund in
| order that this might be carried on,
and every year since the excursion
has been held. Although of late
years it has been necessary to go by
electric car instead Of boat. the oc-
casion Is always a red letter day for
the youngsters of Gardiner.

Defendant ASSAULT
CASE HELD UNDER
BONDS UNTIL sept,

Leslie Wheeler of South Gardiner
appeared before Judge VIII C. Atkins
Thursday in the Gardiner Municipal
Court to answer to a charge of as
sault and battery brought against
him by Forrest G. Perkins of High
Holborn street. 1t was alleged that
the assault was committed about $50
Tuesday evening on Marian Perkins.
the twelve year old daughter Of the
complainant. Attorney 4. l.. Good
speed represented the defendant
while the plaintiff was without coun-
sci.
Each side had several witnesses.
and the apparently Straightforward
story of the girl was refuted by the
alibi of the defendant strengthened
by the testimony of his witnesses as
to his whereabouts at the time Of the
alleged assault. The g,rl was placed
on the stand and told that Tuesday
evening she came from her home on
Highholborn street to mail a letter.
and on her return as she was passing
Christ Episcopal Church the defend
ant accosted her. taking hold of her
arm. According to her story he asked
her to go down Dresden avenue and
when she refused forced her to ac-
company him. When they got down
to the decline in front of the Ross
house the man asked her to sit on
the fence leading along there, and
when she refused lie again used
force. She said that about that time
the street lights went on. and becom-
ing frightened, he lifted her and
started to run. Whercupon the girl
started to scream. and then he drop
ped her and escaped. This statement
was strengthened by the testimony
of Mrs. Farnham who lives in the i'm
mediate vicinity. who declared that
she heard the screams and went out
to investigate. and on hearing the
story took the girl into ner nome ana
then went over to Mrs. McCausland S
house where she telephcned the girls
father. He came down to the house,
and the girl gave him detailed des-
cription of the mans clothing, assert
ing, however. that she did not get
look at his face. They came down
onto Water street. and it was not
long before the girl espied Wheeler.
and declared to h.r father that that
was the man who had assaulted her.
Wheeler denied any charges at that
time but Perkins secured an officer.
and Wheeler was ordered to appear
in court Mrs. McCausland was CALL
ed to the stand and celebrated Mrs.
Earnham's statements.
The testimony of the defense was
then given, Wheeler taking the stand
making general denial of all of the
charges. He stated that he came up
from his home in South Gardiner on
the train arriving here about els, he
went TO the S. E. Brooks bowling al
legs. left his lunch box and went to
the home Of his mother. Mrs. w. c.

Swiney on Harden street returning
he then went over to the Railroad
Station and passed some time talking
with the men at the gates. He then
went back to the bowling alleys ana
remained there until after nine
o'clock. 8. NJ. Brooks. proprietor OF
the bowling alleys testified that the
respondent was at his PLACE at the
time that the girl said the assault
was committed. Guy Goggin and
lad named Mulholland ?tn boys al
the alleys testified the same.
In summing up the case the Judge
said that while there was not suffici-
ent evidence to convict Wheeler. ne
felt that in order to preserve the
right of the public he would hold
him under bonds of 5000 until the
September term OF The Superior
Court, but unless anything came up
in the interval to convince him ne
would not have to appear.
