N. B. MACHINE MEN
 CASE NOW ENDED
GaHney and McDonOush Plead
 Successfully

Edward L, steinle Of II shAman Court, salesmanager for the New Britain Machine Co.,, and Frank Pinches of Berlin, a salesman for the New Britain Machine Co.,. had judg- ment suspended in their cases when they came up for disposition before Judge Benjamin filling in police court this morning. Steinlo was charged with operating motor ye- hicle while under the influence Of liquor and Plnches was charged with breach of the peace.
 The two were arrested by Sergeant Patrick O'Mara Sunday night, April 27, after Mrs, steinle had lodged R complaint with tho police that Pinches had refused 10 leave the house at her order. Sergeant O'Mara, upon going to the house, requested Pinches to leave, and Pinches, fur ther than refusing to comply with tho order of the officer, proceeded to abuse him, Sergeant O'Mara there upon placed him under arrest and as ho was leaving the house with his prisoner he saw Steinle drive his car out of the driveway and onto the street, From the manner in which the machine was driven, O'Mara could see that Steinle was unfit 10 operate the vehicle so he warned him to put the machine in the gar age or he would be forced to place 1 him under arrest also. Steinle re- fused to heed the warning and start ed to drive the machine up Sherman court, so O'Mara, jumping on the running board, arrested him.
 Attorney Thomas McDonough, ap- bearing for Pinches, stated that both the accused, although realizing that was case of imbibing little too freely. had already suffered con- Siderahly from the publicity which had been given the affair. as both occupy responsible positions fin the Machine Co. Attorney McDonough further stated that the punishment of this publicity had exceeded any that the court could inf1ict and therefore moved that judgment be suspended in the cases of both. At. torney Donald Gaffncy appeared in behalf of Steinle.
 Alex pirkowsky charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace was fined s5 and costs hy Judge AL ling. He was arrested last evening
 
 complaint had been made to police headquarters that he was creating | disturbance at 6S Broad street.

OXFORD DESIRES 10 BE AS OF OLD
SteadfaStIy Refuses to Clean IDSanitary Dirt

Oxford. Eng, May 2. Called Upop recently 10 consider a pro- posal for cleaner streets, a peren- nal question in Oxford, the town council decided virtually 10 do noth- ing for the reason that this same project had first been submitted 10 il 20 years ago. Whereupon it was recalled that Oxford has been un- enyiably notorious in this regard for six centuries.
 Since tlIe year 1900 the cleaning Of oxford streets has been a sub icct of constant argument. Edward III, in the fifth year of his reign, stirred up a gr"at clamor by com mandinr all OSonians. toWnsmen and students alike, 10 take hesoms, brushes and buckets and clean the town from end 10 end. That was the last mass attack upon the ac- cumuIatod dirt for which Oxford like all other medieval towns, was famous.
 In the middle of the sixteenth century an even greater clamor re- ] suited from the imposition of q "taXe to cleanse the streets and ! 10 pay the persons as shall be 1 llyr,1 10 carry away such donghylls as be soysom to thys ToWnc." The two "sltavingors' appointed as a r,Su.t oc this imposition were lax . fellows, but by curious happen ing the results of their iIIone&s ! were ascribed 10 Providence rather l than to accumulated dirt. One l Joncks, a religious but obstreperous stationer, vas hailed before the . magistrates and condemned to lose his ,arS. That Very night there 1 arose such infectious damp or lrca'h omons the people that many were then smothored, and all the court diyi,'
 Five wars after this unpleasant ! visitation inc town council passed a general s'rect-ceaning enactmenL l which ramlits as inc basis of tho system uov employed. By this ac. . pi-s'ios W.re forbidden over waters . lculiug 10 uroworios, a pou-taX was imposed for the securing Of the To- cal ponds, meats and streams and 1 pro@ iston was made for the bi- weekly sweeping of streets and al-
 Icys.
 .Nt fho last meeting of the town couucil this ancient question was ! aVain ra,iycd E'ytrarpa reForp, |, rs ! had suggested that The times of greet cleaning might come at closer intervals and that the meth
 O Is employed might be improved. The council gave its close attention
 10 the matter but as it was dis
 covered that the same suggestion
 has been recorIel on the councils
 books for more than 20 years, the
 question was reserved.
