STEVENS OUT FOR
 LEGISLATURE POST Prominent Citizens Pledge Sup port to Former Representative CHILD INJURED BY CAR
Boys Club Wins-Finance Commit tee to Meet-Pastor Returns Private Phone Instlled in Kens- ington-Other Items of Interest.

The ice that has formed over the coming elections for legislature can didates, was broken yesterday when Claude w. Stevens, prominent citl- zen of this place, announced his in tentions of running for the position. Mir. Stevens has been representative from this district twice previously and is therefore well qualified for the post he seeks. He is well known throughout the town and vicinity and has host of friends that have pledged their support to his cam- paign which is beginning to move al the present time.
 MT. Stevens has served on various boards and committees in the past and has held the positions given him with an efficiency and integrity that points him out to be a large factor in the coming race. He is the first to announce his intentions and has gotten away to large lead over those that might appear later by his fast get away.
 East Berlin has hustled since the news of Stevens candidacy has made itself known, and the eastern district promises that it will not be long before their candidate or candidates will give the present announcer a hard run for the money. Political feeling in that town Is high and sev- eral good choices should come from that place.
 Worthington ridge continues quiet except for untraceable rumors. It is probable that dark horse will spring from that place at the last moment. The caucus due in the middle of September should prove interesting this year according to re- vorts from political heads in the three districts. Candidates for se- lectmen have not been announced as yet, but it Is generally understood that George B. Carter, the present first selectman, will run again for the position that he has filled so well this past term.
 Boys Club Win.
 Upsetting dope as to the outcome of yesterdays game, the Berlin Boys club won over the Bristol Boys club team in seven innings yesterday at Percival field, Kensing- ton. This is the locals first win and was due to some spectacular plays on the part of the Berlinites. Mc- Cormick, playing shortstop for the | Berllnites, made some wonderful catches and stops and his playing l was the feature of the game. Meyers l pitched a steady game and had | wonderful support from his team- | mates. Michaud, Bristols third base- man, starred for the Bell Towns ag- | gregation.

WANT TROLLEY Co.
 ID HAVE TURN.OFF SeleCtmen Believe This Is Way
 Out Of Present Dilemma DRINKING FOUNTAIN IDLE

No Water at Monument Square Lightning Strikes House-Last
 Chance to Register for Csucuses
 Expect Hundreds at Reunion Briefs.
 Another change in the trolley stop at Central square is believed | imminent as the result of an inves- | tigation made by officials of the l Connecticut Co. and the town. The selectmen are not satisfied with the one which was recently agreed upon ! and is now in use, and the trolley | company is considering a further 1 change. If trolley officials do not l take such action of their own ac- cord, it is understood that they will be asked to do so, but the Connec- ticut Go. has always shown desire to cooperate with the town author ities and has done so thus far in the present matter. It is therefore believed that change is coming, and such decision Is expected very soon.
 The establishment of a urn-off on the right of-way" along the lower end of Whiting street is be- lieved by First Selectman William J. Johnson to be the solution to the problem, he said today. The chief objection to the present stop and to the one formerly in use has been not so much the location as the fact that the cars remain for 15- minute periods stopped in the mid de of the street. If the Connecti- cut Co. would put in a switch and lay short side track or turmoil Mir. Johnson Says, there would be no such trouble and the inconven- fences and dangers of street block ing would be eliminated.
 Establishing the turmoil down Whiting street would also provide better accommodations for the peo- pie living In the southern section of the town. Mir. Johnson said, as it would allow school children and workmen to ride much nearer their homes than they can now with the short trip" cars stopping at the center. At present they are forced to obtain transfers and wait 1o min utes or walk the distance from Gen. tral square.
 False Alarm
 The town was startled about 10.30 o'clock this morning by the sound- ing of a single blast of the new fire whistle on the town hall. Prepara- tions were made to rush out the apparatus, but a call to telephone headquarters ascertained the fact that no alarm had been sent in. II then developed that an electrician had been testing the batteries in the cellar of the building and had accidentally short circuited the alarm wires, causing the blast.
 Drinking Fountain Dry
 Comment is being made about the drinking fountain in front of Monu- ment square, as there is no water this year and Plainville for the first time in many years is without free public drinking water fountain. This fountain was established some Is or 20 years ago by the W. c. T. L. as a part of it's temperance cam- paign, land being granted it by the New Haven railroad for the pur- pose and the water company agree ing to supply the water free of charge.
 The women who were, instru- mental in erecting the fountain also busted themselves with maintaining it during succeeding years, and even as late as last year the water bubbled merrily from the fountain

killers running through the streets or
every community because it means
swift, sure and drastic punishment.
1t would undoubtedly serve to clear
up court congestion, an evil from
which no court is free. But it Is
highly improbable that any way can
be found to take away this constitu-
tional right, and so this move, with
its many benefits, is doomed to failure.
1t is possible, however. that some
other method can be carried into ef-
feet that will accomplish the same
results. Postpopements of trials can
be minimized by strict scrutiny on the
part of the court, and every court can
embark Immediately on a campaign of
speeding up cases. Judge Hall prob
ably suggested his plan after becom
ing chagrined at the small number of
convictions, the ease with which vio-
lators of the traffic laws secured post
ponements of their trials and the de-
lay between arrest and trial.
His views on the evils of the sys-
tenn are shared by law-abiding motor
lists and members of the judiciary
throughout the country. Quick justice
will do more to discourage crime Of
all kinds than anything else, and steps
looking to elimination Of delay should
be taken in order that an example
OF sure punishment may be set for
lawbreakers.
