Judge filling Agrees With Hart and Green stein That Forfeit Should Be Posted.
Failure of Several Persons to Appear in Court Brings About Drastic Revision of Custom.

Effective at once. every person arrested by the local police, what ever the charge, must post a bond or be locked up until court time. Chief W. c. Hart announced this morning. after conferences with Judge B. W. filling and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney ". NJ. Green stein. Heretofore. the principals in minor cases, principally those charged with driving automobiles without operators licenses and registrations, or with improper markers, have been allowed their freedom on their own recognizance provided the circumstances indi- cated that the offense was not se- rious, but during the past week st least three alleged offenders failed to report for trial when their names were called.
 After court this morning. Chief Hart talked to Judge Alling who said he believed bonds should be required tnasmuch as the practice Of failing to report in court seems 10 be In danger of becoming zen eral, He advised the chief that judgment should be used in deter mining the amount of bonds, point ing out that person charged with falleu rto have his license in hi. possession and happening to have only Sl5 on hand should not be locked up in default of a $25 bond. In such a case, SIS should be ac- cepted, the judge said.
 To Use Discretion on Summonses
 The summons slips which the motorcycle and automobile police. men hand to motorists on the motorists on the highway instead or compelling them to drive to po- iNe headquarters to be booked for speedlng or some similar offenso may be recalled, ChiU Hart said. At least the policemen will be in- structed to be careful about giving out the slips, in order that drivers Who are unknown locally or who might ignore the summons and continue to their destination 4 long distance from New Britain, may not escape punishment
 Discussing this phase of the situ- ation. Chief Hart said that the driy- CT Of stolen motorcycle escaped some time ago because a policeman. not realizing that the vehicle was not the property of the driver. gave him summons to court for speed ing, only to learn on investigation of the drivers failure to report that the motorcycle had been stolen in a nearby city.

MAY BE SEVERAL DAYS
 IN OPENING UP MINE
Rescue Workers Believe Trapped Miners Still
 Are Alive

1ronwood, Mich, Sept. 2S.-tRl- Indication of life from the rock bound eighth level of the Pabst mine, where 43 men were entombed by shaft cave-in last Friday, i'm bued rescue crews today with a do or die spirit.
 The first indication came yester- day, when distinct signal on a water pipe was heard by crew of workers in reply to staccato ham, merings. Later Alfred Maxi, d res cue worker. descended with a safe- ty-line about his waist, and made his way through debris 10 the near est point to the miners yet pene- trated.
 T heard men working" he re- ported. Tt was distant but definite, I am sure of it. They are alive"
 Maki's passage was blocked 50 feet beyond the point where a res cue party is working in the mine shaft to clear away the wreckage which blocks entry to the eighth level. This finding determined that it will be long before rescue can be made by this route.
 In the meanwhile every available bit Of energy is being concentrated in this and three other avenues, one of which Is the piercing of hole by a diam ond drill to facilitate the passage of. food, clothing and mes sages to the men.
 Another is horizontal tunnel from an adjoining mine while the fourth and most hazardous is from the mine shaft, access to which is gained through a lower level.
 Everyone is confident that the res cue will be made. Expectations were that possibly one expedition would shove through late tonight. The Oliv- CT Iron Mining company, which owns the mine, however, issued a state ment that four or five days more may be necessary. A total Of 470 men are engaged in the rescue work.
 Elaborate preparations have been made for the care of the miners, if they are brought out alive. Every man who comes up from the long spell in darkness will be blindfolded to prevent the severe shock of day. light. They will be taken to a car less than 100 feet away which has six Pullman berths and seven cots will be placed in it.
 An attempt to communicate with the entombed men by telegraph code using an iron pipe as the transmits sion medium failed early today.
 The code for 70. K" was ham, mered on the pipe more than a hundred times by a telegrapher. There was no response. One of the miners understands the code, mine officials said.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS UNDER CONSIDERATION
Hall and Towers Favor Loans for Grading and
 Water Mains

Several streets in which there are no water mains or where. private pipe lines installed many years axo now serve districts inadeouatoly. will have maximum water service soon under plan approved by Chairman Edward F. Hall Of the board of finance and taxation and Chairman Reginald Towers of the board of public works.
 The water department is permit. ted to install water mains only in accepted streets where grades have been definitely established and worked. In many instances petitions have been before the board for years, but the city had not sui ficient money to lay out on working grades and as a result the house holders have been required to con- tent themselves with wells or private pipe lines
 Former Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa was cognizant ot this condition and at his suggestion the legislature passed m act two years ago author i7ing New Britain to borrow money on short term notes in anticipation of returns from assessments Of benefits on streets where grades are to be worked. Messrs. Hall and Towers favor making use of this privilege this year. and Mayor Weld is in accord with their plan. Ckief William J. Noble of the fire depart ment who was consulted agreed that the installation of mains would greatly assist his department in fighting fires in outlying districts.
 The board of public works has carried on an extensive program this year the result of which will be expenditure of its entire appropria- tion several months before the fiscal year comes to close. At that time the city laborers will be placed on street grading jobs under the new plan and work will continue without extra appropriations being sought, the lsans foated at that time to be taken up when payments Of assessments is madA

 0F sl2oo BY F0RGER|ES
Crooks Work Besse-Le- lands With Fake Ad-
 vertising Bills

That the Besse-Leland Co. was
 mulcted out of s200 last week through the game which it is al- legged Frank Laplante was trying to work when detected Saturday after noon. became known today. but the police have been unable to fasten the guilt for the other two opera tions on Laplante.
 Two payments of s100 each were made at the store when men pre- sented to the cashier receipts ap- proved in the signature of the ad- vertising man, the signature having been forged to resemble very closely the genuine. One receipt was made out on a blank of the Polish Daily News. and the other purported to be fore an advertisement in a souvenir program of a Fifers and Drummers' convention, the city not mentioned.
 When Laplante called Saturday afternoon with a receipt for S150 on another blank, ostensibly approved by the advertising man, Miss Kathryn Kelly said she would be obliged to consult the former. La plante, evidently fearing he would be exposed. left the store, but the advertising man followed him to the street and brought him back. Ser geant O'Mara was called and placed Laplante under arrest.
 The police say it would be an easy matter to obtain copy of the signature of an employe of the store, because they sign slips used in the transaction of the business many times a day. The police theory is that Laplante obtained such slip and then, having come into pos session of receipts commonly given for advertisement payments. forged the signatures and presented them to the cashier.
 Laplante, according to the police, admitted having tried to work the game Saturday, but denied con- plicity in the other jobs. His name was on the most recent receipt and other names were on the former slips.

charges were made against McQuar- rie and could find no evidence of their being assaulted. He had not been called as a witness at McQuar- rie's trial, he said, although he made the examination at the request Of the police.
 Mrs, Plumb told how she had taken Anna into her home when Mrs. McQuarrie died and had then assumed charge of Anna, with per mission of the girls father, when her lack of maternal care became apparent She had been led to sus- pect something was wrong and had taken it up with the Welfare asso- ciation, but this body had felt the case was too much for 1t and had turned 1t over to the police. As the questions asked her began to go deeper into the details of the al legged crime. Judge Gaffney ordered this line of investigation stopped.
 Mir. Plumb told of the condition of the girl when he and his wife had taken charge of her, saying she was poorly clothed, not clean. and undernourished. weighing only 3S pounds. Since then she had taken on weight and now weighed 62 pounds.
 A series of witnesses were called by Mir, Woods to show the suitable ness Of the Plumb home as a place in which to rear child. These witnesses were Beulah Dickinson, Mrs. Plumb's sister; Eva Magnuson, owner Of the Plumb residence; Mrs. Walter Weed, Mrs, Franklin Rich, Josephine Ladd of Bristol. Mildred Fenton of Plainville, Theresa Sevi- oni. Fife Dodge of Plainville, Mrs. Harry Atkinson. Mrs. Thomas Crean. Mrs. Anna Lockton and Lena Clark of Durham. All painted favorable pictures of the Plumb home.
 Anna McQuarrie. aged r. was the first witness called by Attorney Ca sale. After stating that she had been at the Florence Crittenden home in New Haven for a year. she sprang a sensation by retracting her previous story as told 10 the author ities and denying all relations with her father. She said that she had denied them year ago when ques- toned about the matter but had been coaxed into making an "admis- sion." She did not state who had done the coaxing, but those present at the tiIne were Sergeant McCue. Probation Officer Ruth Bristoll and Mir. and Mrs. Plumb. She was not a good witness and Mir. Casale ad- mitted that he doubted If she were of average mentality.
 McQuarrie himself took the stand md denied the charge of which he lad been found guilty. stating that le had not been familiar with court and had entered plea ,f guilty only on the advice of his .ttorney. Mir. Woods objected stren- lously to this, and Judge Gaffney
 
 'uled that the court was interested ,nly whether McQuarrie could or .ould not take care of his children It this time. McQuarrie then said le had conversed with Mrs. Plumb t the prison on August 20 and that he had agreed to seek a pardon for i'm. He felt the Plumbs were his nemies, having placed him behind he bars, and said that his sister ranted to take care of Anna and his lster's daughter wished custody of Ivangeline.

TOILER'S DEATH REVEALS
HE ONCE WAS PREACHER
Aged Mill Hand Had Been Obliged
to Drop Ministry in Order to
Support Himself

By the Associated Press.
LAWRENCE, Mass, March g.
Death has revealed an aged mill hand
here as a former minister, who at
63 was forced to turn to manual labor
to support himself
Samuel Fl. Anderson, who died at
the city hospital had toiled in the Pa
cific Woolen Mills since 1910. Those
with whom he worked knew him only
as gentle old man, who said little
about himself and nothing of his past
To them he was just "Old Sam"
Death barred his secret. Born in
Rochester n. H., in 1S47, he was edu-
Gated at the University of Rochester
and was ordained in 1876.
For more than 80 years he preached
in the smaller towns of Vermont and
New Hampshire. Then illness over
took him. Bills piled up and his small
savings vanished. Unable longer to
assume the burden of a pastorate, he
turned to manual labor.
One of the few men who knew his
past was the Rev. George F. Beecher
of the First Baptist Church. Tomor-
row he will read the last rites for Old
Sam and then the body will be taken
to North Salem, n. H., for burial.
