 Bernstein Under Bonds.
 Albert Bernstein of this city. charged with concealing assets and refusing 10 reveal Che fact that he did conceal assets. appeared before Judge Edwin S. Thomas in the Unit ed States court in Hartford yester- day and a continuance of the case was granted until September 27. Bernstein. who was represented by Judge Joseph NJ. Donovan of this city. was released under bonds Of s4.g00 furnished by his wife.
 The complaint alleges that Bern stein wilfully concealed assets from the trustees Of the bankrupt estate, Attorney Joseph F. Dutton, at the time the estate was being settled. The complaint, it is understood. was made by former employc of Bern steins.
 Hearing on Chairman Estate.
 A hearing on the estate of the late Harry B. Chairman is being held to- day in the probate court at Hart ford. Relatives in New Jersey. who are represented by Judge William J. Malone of this city. are contesting a will made a number of years ago in the state Of Texas. It is under stood that MT. Chairman shortly be- fore his death made a second will in the presence of Attorney Edward Broder of Hartford. and which up to the present time has not been To- cated.
 The estate is valued at approxi- mately s5,o0o.
 Approve Bond Issue
 At a meeting of the voters of the 18th school district. held last even ing in the Forestville school, the proposed bond issue of l125,000 was formally approved. The chairman Of the district was authorized to sign the bonds which will be placed on the market in the near future.
 The district recently purchased a site on Pine street in the southern section of the town and it Is under stood that the matter of erecting schoolhouse at that point will be considered at the annual meeting of the district to be held next month. The need of additional facilities has been apparent for the last two or three years and any expansion, it has been pointed out. should be made south of the railroad tracks. The enrolment at the present school on Academy street now totals 56S. which is an increase of 27 pupils ever the previous year.
 At recent meetings considerable objection has been advanced to the necessity of the younger pupils crossing the center of the city which. particularly during the hours of the day. is heavily congested with traffic. and if is believed that the voters will sanction the building of on the new location so that the younger children at least will not be obliged to cross the cen- ter section of the village.
 A successor to Miss Nellie E. Hills. teacher and principal of the school for 51 years who recently submitted her resignation. will undoubtedly be at the coming meeting.

 Representative Claude W. Stevens has reported that a visit to the of- fee of the state highway commis- sloner has given him considerable encouragement regarding the recon ditioning Of the Beech Swamp road, a move which, although promised by the commission last fall, has not been heard from recently and which was given up as lost by the major ity of residents.
 Stevens reported that bids for the new highway will be received at the office of the highway commissioner on Tuesday. May s1. and thatre- Quirements call for approximately 12,SSo lineal feet of 20 foot re- inforced concrete highway. AL though it has not been definitely decided as yet. Representative Stew ents stated that he believes that the car tracks existing on the side of the present highway will be re- moved.
 In connection with the above in- formation, it has been rumored that the Kensington fire district chair man has received notice that con- nections to the water main should be made in the near future before the permanent highway is laid. Such 2 notice would indicate that the road is receiving definite consider ation by the highway commission and that the day is not far off when the thoroughfare will receive atten- ton.
 The temporary improvements which have kept a road gang busy on the Beech Swamp route for the past three months. have fallen un- der the heavy traffic combined with the recent rains. The highway IS In the worst condition 1t has ever been, large pits and ruts marring the sur face.

'NOTHINGS'
what YOU May-CaII Ems
Add Color to Sheriff'S
Sale of Goods.

Hey, hey, what's that-the
japanese flag?"
This question was put to a deputy
sheriff Monday in the courthouse
corridor at a sheriff's sale when
twelve articles Of women's silk
lingerie. four bathing suits and a
wool sweater were sold.
Waved Frantically
What he waved frantically in his
right hand was a pair of canary
colored ''nothings."
He made no reply, but continued to
yell:
What am I offered for these
beautiful what-you-may-c all-'ems? so
cents?"
He got SIS cents for the "what-you.
may-call-'ems."
Law Forced Sale
The total of individual bids on
the garments was $3.50 and the
highest price offeced for any one ar
ticle was $1.65 OH the wool sweater.
But along came a young man, well
dressed and mustached, who said
he'd pay $12.10 for the entire lot.
He got them.
And now, before any one gees
and tells the sheriff's wife, let it be
understood that the "pretties" came
into the sehriff's hands in a receiv-
ership suit and the law made him
sell them.

Opposes Proposal
Rucker declared he had refused to
agree to a proposal of Fred G. Gard
ner, secretary of E. c. Atkins & Co.,
and member of the Chamber OF Com
MERGE merger committee, that the
merger opponents withdraw their
opposition to the merger If the
capitalization is cut to $44,000,000.

chamber committee and other merger
opponents have been considering a
proposal to agree to the merger on
a lower valuation.
Chairman Emerson w. Chaille and
Attorney Frederick Matson, who has
been representing the Chamber of
Commerce in the merger fight, re-
fused to comment on the report at
the conclusion of a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce committee
this morning. Matson promised a
