WANTS NEW BRIDGE
City Engineer Convinced Provi- dence Street Structure Also
 Dangerously Narrow.

George W. Perry, city engineer, who first examined the Providence street bridge and found it to be in dan gerous condition, believes that sec ond danger exists at this point be- cause the present bridge is too nar- row.
 Mir. Perry said this morning that the bridge is in a doubly dangerous condition. He said that it is SO narrow that two vehicles can pass only at great risk. He lives on Providence street and is conversant with the large amount of through and local travel, and believes it is the heaviest of any thoroughfare in the city. It has been the scene of q number of accidents.
 While sir. Perry says he believes |. economy, he does not feel that it will be economical to spend money to patch up this narrowly dangerous bridge, but that a new and wider bridge will be the most economical for the town of Putnam in the end, and also relieve a dangerous situation.

 RAYMOND AND LALONE
POLICEMAN GALLAGHER OF SPRINGFIELD TEsTIFIEs TO GUNFIRE BY RAYMOND AND IDENTIFIED WILLYS-
 KNIGHT CAR AT WEBSTER
Panel Filled Wednesday Afternoon and "cebox Bandit
 Trial Begins.

The uninteresting grind of picking a jury in the cases of Roland c. La lone and Albert J. Raymond, the two Worcester young men who have come to be known as the .'icebox bandits, 1" on trial in Wiilimantic for the murder of State Policeman Irving H. Nelson at Pomfret, the evening of Good Fri day, April 9th, came to an end at 2.40 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon. The taking of testimony began as soon as the formalities of polling the jury and reading the indictment of the grand jury had been complied with.
 The first witness called was George ". Perry of Putnam, who submitted map of the highway in Pomfret from Overlock's corner to Greene's corner, the site of the murder.
 Francis J. Higgins of Worcester was the second witness. He testified that his willys- Knight sedan, the one al- legged to have been driven by the de- fendants, was stolen and that he sub sequently recovered it in Webster. He said that there was a rear window broken and bullet hole in the spare tire and gasoline tank and a dent in the body as if shot had gone out from inside the machine. Photographic $ of the car were identified by the wit ness and laid in as exhibits
 Sold Three Caps
 The next witness was Mrs. Bessie Asher of Springfield who testified to selling caps to three young men the evening on April 4th. She will be re- called and asked to identify caps in possession of the state.
 Mrs. Asher was followed by Mrs. Mary Hannifan, who, under a number of objections by defense counsel. testi-

fled that on the evening of April 4th sedan with three young men had lowered about the front of her ssore. She became suspicious and took the number of the car. Testimony of her turning the numbers over to Police Officer Futile of Springfield was ruled out as was practically all the testi- mony of the officer that he secured the numbers from her and turned them in at police headquarters.
 The most interesting testimony Sd far in the trial was that of Policeman Raymond P. Gallagher of Springfield who testified that about 5.i5 o'clock on the evening of April 9th he saw the alleged bandit car, Massachusetts li- cense number 401, ,976. traveiing at e fast rate through traffic. He gave

WOODSTOCK FAIR
 IS IN FULL SWING
Old Time Fair and Cattle Show Has Good Attendance
 Wednesday
Brighter Skies Today For Closing
 Show

Threatening clouds doubtless kept many away from Woodstock fair on Wednesday. However, the attend ance was satisfactory as the people poured through the gates in the af- ternoon. Today, with bright skies. the warm sunshine, and stores in the city closed, there should be an even larger attendance.
 Woodstock stages one of the few remaining old time fairs and cattle shows at which emphasis is placed upon the products of the farm home and the farm. The so-cailed midway is secondary at this agricultural ex- hihit, although there are various amusements for those who care for these diversions.
 This years display in the exhibition hall. the poultry and cattle pens, and within the race track enclosure, were on a par with past exhibitions and aroused great deal of interest. Flow CTS, raised in Woodstock gardens, also vegetables and fruit, were attractive Nv displayed. There were articles from the cullinery department of the farm and neddle work by the house wives and young women, all in friend ly rivalry for the blue. red, and white ribbons.
 Graded Egg
 A display of graded eggs by the State Department of Agriculture was made interesting by representative of the department demonstrating scientific methods of sorting and grad ing, that prices for the better grades may be enchanced
 A new exhibitor was the State Mo- tor Vehicle department. Miss Ethel Usher and George Keane, represent ing the department, demonstrated q signal which the department recon mends.
 Ta The Connecticut School for the blind had a booth displaying handi- work of the pupils. There were also good number of trade exhibits, in- cluding automobiles and accessories.
 Boxing Bout
 Two five-year old lads staged four round boxing match in front of the grand stand. They went through all of the preliminaries. as do the big fel- lows, and gave an interesting exhibi- ton.
 Tho horse races were ef interest to many although possibly the dampness made the track bit heavy. Between the heats, and all during the after noon, the East Woodstock Cornet band furnished music.

"unionization" of its mines, it gave as its rea-
sons for the change in policy:
ITO prevent another strike, to insure constant
and sufficient supply of coal at reasonable prices
. to stabilize production costs in short
to protect business and labor from a recur-
renee of this past years lost and waste :"
Green confirms this understanding. cit is
an advantage to employ miners who belong to
the union" he says, 'for the union could pre-
vent the recurrence of most strikes from which
Colorado has suffered"
1t is necessary only to add that the company
unions, which Green is seeking to put over,
will not succeed any more than the company
unions organized by the bosses themselves, in
the effort to prevent the workers from utilizing
the only weapon which directly or indirectly is
responsible for whatever gains they may Sc
cure under capitalism.
Was there ever a more disgusting sight
than this traitor Green, as he expounds to the
working class his now open philosophy of
treason?
