SENTENCES ARE SUSPENDED

Meeting Of Executive Committee oi Legion This Evenine-Poat Bsse- ball Team Victorious - Cars in Collisien on New Britain Road. Denouncing their parents for al- lowing them to run wild and roam the streets at all times of the night. Justice of Peace Merritt O. Ryder sentenced seven boys between tn. ages of nine and IS to the state re- form school this morning in court on charges of being in danger of leading vicious lives and for being incorrigible. After . severe repri- mand. the court suspended the sen- tence upon payment of the costs of the court. The judge warned the boys that if they are brought into court again within the next six months they will be forced to nll out their sentences at the school without trial.
 The case was the aftermath of over six months of trouble. Most of the boys have been in court before and since last December the police have been receiving complaint after complaint concerning them. They have caused Constable George schu- bert considerable trouble and, ai- though he had warned them time after time, it failed to do any good. The climax was reached early Fri day morning when the officer found . number of the boys sleeping in an old barn on West Main street. Investigation by the officer proved that the boys had stolen . cake at the Rogers bakery on June 13 and on June IS they had taken cot be- longing to . Chinese merchant on West Main street.
 All of the parents of the children were in court this morning to an- swer to charges of contributing to the delinquency of the boys.
 No matter how large . family ! there is, there is no reason in ths world why parents cannot see that their children arc in bed at | ccr- tain hour every night" declared Prosecutor Charles F. Conion These boys are running wild around the streets and have been causing the merchants and Constable Schu- bert unlimited trouble.
 "The boys have appeared before this court before and. despite warnings by Consta ble Schubert and myself have continued to be a source ot trouble to the town" cried MT. Con- lon.
 The cases took nearly an hour each boy being called on to testify and the parents of each boy betns called upon to present their side oi the case. Most of the parents plead ed ignorance of the actions of thei' children during the evening and. tr one case. a mother claimed that the boys father hit him with anything he put his hands on and thereforl the boy stayed out late at evenings
 Constable Schubert testified that he had been caused considerable trouble by the boys and that he had warned them on numerous oc- casions but to no avail.
