POLES WILL FORM
 THEIR OWN CHURCH
Quit Parish in Support of Rev.
 Joseph LekSton

Members of the St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic church of South Deerfeld, Mass, since the transfer of Rev. Joseph Lekston from tho pastorship of the church seven weeks ago and the naming of Rev. A. Novak his successor, have been in constant uproar, it is said, refus- ing to attend church masses and threatening to become an inde- pendent parish if Father Lekston was not returned as pastor.
 At a mass meeting held Sunday at a public hall in South Deerfield the committee which was named by the parishioners to represent them and who sent several letters of appeal to the bishop and apostolic delegate in Washington, with the assistance of the church members voted to be- come an independent parish to be affiliated with the Polish National Catholic church, which will be known as the Name of Jesus church.
 At the meeting were Rev. Simor Gusicek of St. Johns church of Manchester, Conn; Rev. John Solak of Union City, Conn. and Rev. Jo- seph Soltysak of St. Joseph's church of Westf1eld, Mass, who are mem- bers of the Polish National church.
 Today the committee will inter- view the bishop, Rt. Rev. V. Gaw- rychowski, of the Polish National Church, at his residence at Chico pee to make final arrangements for joining an independent church.
 Persons from Easthampton, Hat field, Greenfield, Turner's Falls and Northampton attended the meet ing.

 at Court Trial FORMER RESIDENT DEAD
Post Office Discussed With Con- gressman F. H. Fenn-Rev. A. A. Perry Given Party-Many Cases in Court-lntereSting Items.

Stating that he was determined to clean up the town of the 'riffraff' which has infested it for so long a time, Prosecutor Charles F. Conlon took drastic steps at the trial of Jo- seph Caliendo of South Canal street this morning in the town court when a witness for the state failed to ap- pear. Caliendo was in court to an- swer to a charge of breach of the peace and assault but the court was unable to proceed with the case when the witness failed to make his appearance.
 Prosecutor Conlon declared that the states witness had been inter- fered with, ordered the case to be continued for two weeks, and rec commended that Caliendo be placed under bonds of $500. Judge Merritt o. Ryder accepted his recommends tion and placed Caliendo under the bonds of that amount. Mir. Conlon told the court that he would take immediate steps to get in touch with the states witness and that whoever had interfered with him would be sent to jail. He declared that he would see that those guilty in the case would be fully punished even if it were necessary for him to go to the states attorney.
 The court official continued, say ing that he would show the trouble makers in Plainville that they were not going to "get away with their actions any longer.
 Caliendo was arrested on August 10 by Officer George Schubert It is alleged that he walked up to John Wisavage, who was standing on q curb, and, with a well-aimed blow struck Wisavage on the nose and broke it.
 Found Guilty
 Vito Thomasino of Southington charged with disregarding an off cer's signal, was found guilty by Judge Merritt o. Ryder and fined BIO and costs. He was arrested Sunday evening by Constable George Schu- bert after he had cut to the left of the traffic dummy in the center, causing triple collision.
 The officer was forced to chase him to East Bristol before he could catch the Southington driver. Officer Schubert blew his whistle when the accident occurred but Thomasine failed to heed it.
 pr0Cprntnr tN1 that the Southington man had raced with a friend all the way iron | Southington and had cut in front O. the dummy so as to get ahead o 1t. He said that the man had a re sponsible position in Southingtor and had a good record, therefore ht would not deal harshly with him anG would charge him only with evadine an officers signal instead of witf reckless driving.
 Fined S1O and Costs r. Vincent of 1882 Corbin avenue New Britain, charged with violation of the rules of the road was fined SIC and costs by Judge Ryder. He was involved in an accident with John Hubbard of 2S South Higf street, New Britain, near Blossoms corner on July 2S.

Several matters will be presented to the city council for disposition at the adjourned meeting to be held this evening, the most important Of them being the awarding of the contract for several thousand feet of sanitary sewer on Talmadge. Norton, Chestnut and adjoining streets. Bids have been solicited and these will be opened at to- nights session.
 At the hearing held by the city council on Tuesday, August 6, a number of property owners voiced their objections to the construction of sewers at this time for the req son that the city water mains have not as yet been extended to reach their properties. There is also som1 question as to whether such prop erty owners would be obliged to pay the sewer assessments until water facilities are provided, Thls feature may result in the presenta tion Of some interesting arguments tonight.
 It is also probable that the coun- cil will take action on the recon- mendation of the board of police commissioners to promote Traffic Policeman Aldie Brault to the rank of sergeant in charge of all traffic It is likewise probable that the council will be asked to approve the appointment of another regular po- liceman to the department, and it is understood that the name of Su- pernumerary Timothy Lambert will be advanced by members of Ihe police board.
