PROCLAMATION ON
 FIRE PREVENTION
Mayor Weld Calls on All
 Citizens to Cooperate

Calling to the peoples attention the United States during the past year, Mayor Gardner C. Weld to- day in a proclamation to the citizens of New Britain asked them to ob- serve fire prevention week and make it a success.
 In the proclamation which follows he said three were injured as the result of fire this year and the loss amounted to $122,790. The procla- nation follows:
 Fire Prevention Week for 1926 will be observed in New Britain during the coming week, in common with all other American communi- ties.
 More and more each year. the damage resulting from fires. the loss of human life in confagrations, compel us to undertake measures to put down these losses if possible. In 1925, the national fire loss in the United States was S570, 100000, in- volving deaths or injuries to 32,0O0 persons. Locally, it was $122,790 with injuries to three persons.
 Through precautionary and pre- ventive measures, the great losses to life and property can be mate rially reduced, and it is with this aim in view, that the officials of the fire department, the Chamber of Commerce, the school authorities and others are cooperating in plan ming the observance of Fire Pre- vention Week in this city.
 Every citizen, every man. woman and child-should aid Tn this movement and recognize the inn portance of decreasing the number of fires. Individual aid is necessary for the success of the observance. and I urge the entire community to take cognizance of the importance of the rules for fire prevention. By so doing, we will have a finer safer and happier city.

Chicago. Oct. ? P-Government men today ranged the streets of Ci- cero, west side suburb, where an as sistant county prosecutor was one of many victims of underworld gun fire, rounding up the 79 civil off cials, gangsters chiefs and underlings linked by a federal grand jury in organized dry law violation. By the time the first arrest was made a score had promised to sur- render.
 ! Among them was Al Capone. who was long sought, finally surrendered and was released eventually in con- nection with the killing of Assistant States Attorney William McSwiggin last spring.
 Mayor Joseph z. Klehna, said he would give up but insisted that the indictment of civil authorities was purely a political move.
 Pat Roche, federal operative. said the writs struck at an organiza ton which has done a weekly business of s100,00o for the past four years.
 Federal authorities said they had reason to expect useful confessions from several of the men named, and foresaw property confiscation which would release the suburb from gang rule.

Miss Ella J. Hultgren of 2S Wal lace street, a senior at Bates college. is one of the two successful candi- dates for honor work in the French department.
 This is in accordance with a new plan of granting senior honors, which is being introduced at Bates this year.

In order to be eligible the student must be a member of the senior class with no deficiencies and must have main- tained in the junior year an average of at least S5 in the department in which he or she is to do special work.
