ARMY PLANE FLEET AS
SEEN AT GLASGOW FIELD
lRY r. B. Spencerl


Glasgow was the scene of much
excitement and interest owe the
army planes that stopped there
for lunch last Saturday.
Nineteen planes came to smooth,
even landing on the Glasgow air
port at nearly IL a. m, last Sat,
urday.
1t is remarkable how skillfully
these pilots can maneuver their
ships in the air and the ease with
which so many can be brought
down on a field. After circling
the field they began to huddle
when by two's the whole fleet
dropped gracefully to earth, max
ing a straight line facing the
large audience gathered to wit
ness it.
After refueling these planes
with some 1900 gallons the pilots,
mechanics and officers yer ban
quoted at the leading hotel by the
Commercial club in charge.
In the take off at 1870 p. m, for
Great Falls. after warming up for
ten minutes, the pursuit planes
left the ground in groups of three,
circling the field three times, soon
vanishing in the western sky.
Probably a thousand airs from
many sections, filed with eager,
excited people, witnessed this in
teresting spectacle.
The pilots were all equipped
with parachutes, which served(as
cushions as they sat in the plane.

COLFINC WOLVES
INVADE GLASGOW

Glasgow has a nice new nine
hole golf course, with the accent
on the nine. That is the hole that
Ed. Prendergast and John Cook
each described to the reporter
who has a clear mental picture of
the thing and accepts their alibi.
But no alibi was needed be-
cause the Pointers were victors
over the Valleyites in last Sun
days 1S-hole play by IA strokes.
The Courier's golf reporter says:
Tournament play doesn't seem
to be so popular with the Sunny
siders lately. Wonder if the scores
with Malta and Wolf Point could
have anything to do with it.
"Wolf Point scored IA strokes
better than the home players last
Sunday, with Doc Burgess lowest
for the day. Docs total was "a,
which beat the lowest for Glasgow
by 5 strokes. John Bjorstad cop
ped the honors for "our team"
again with an 49,"
The local club sent a team Of
some Is players to Glasgow but
the tournament result was deter
mined by the total of the best
eight scores from each club. These
lined up like this:
GIasgow-Biorstad, SO; Hanson,
SO; Rugg. "a; Elliot, 90; Shugart,

Police Called To
 Quen Disturbance; Unearth Liquor
Sa1inard Cullen, Pease Caffey Brought to Headquar ters Former Two May Face More Serious Charge of Breaking and Entering -Pease Accused of Vio- lating Dry Law

What apparently was an attempt to settle a grudge fight or feud that has been pending for some time past resulted early today in four arrests. Before the arrival of the police. how ever, a free-for-all was staged in 8 tenement house at 37 South Elm street. The quartet apprehended in- cluded Frank Salinardi, 26, of 26 Ridge street; Holland Pease, 40, of 37 South Elm street; James Claffey of the same address and Lawrence Cullen, 2S, of S3 South Leonard street. .4
 Salanardi and Cullen are booked on the charges of intoxication and breach of the peace. It is possible that a more serious charge, possibly that of attempted burglary may be filed against them. Pease and Claffey are accused of breach of the peace, with the additional charge of vio- lation of thesprohibition law being lodged against the former when the police found nearly a ballon of liquor on the premises. Pease has the repu- tation of conducting club at the address he gave as his place of resi- dence. Several weeks ago the emer- gency squad raided the establish ment and Pease was found guilty of having in his possession large quan- tity of high powered beer with intent to sell. He was arraigned in police court and fined for the offense.
 It was about o'clock this morn ing when the battle was staged. Two of the principals, Pease and Cullen, were unable to appear in court. Their cases were not placed on the docket as the police realized that the ac- cused would not be numbered among

Charles Blattman, 62, of 36 Wy man street, was reported run down by an automobile yesterday after noon near the intersection of North Main street and Lakewood road. He was taken to the Waterbury hospital and given treatment for injuries to his right leg. He is not believed to be seriously hurt. The car involved in this accident was operated by Sal vatore George of 179 Lakewood road. He claimed in his report to the police that he had observed MT Blattman crossing the street and sounded his horn. He was of the opinion that the injured man sus- tained bruises when he stun bled and and fell for he did not believe that the machine collided with him.
 Burton Guilford, Harold and True Hayward of Cheshire suffered in- juries last evening about 9:15 o'clock when the automobile in which they were riding figured in an accident on the Southington mountain. The Guilford lad was rendered uncon- scious by the force of the impact with a machine operated by Samuel w, Gamble of Thomaston. Two companions of the injured youths. William Hogarth and Fred Tucker of Cheshire explained the accident by stating that they turned out to avoid colliding with a truck owned by Carl Miron of Southington and sideswiped the Thomaston machine. The truck had no tail light, they claimed.
 The Guilford youth was taken to the Meriden hospital for treatment.

 Holy Name Meeting
Rep Fitzgerald Reviews Struggle of Ireland - Young
 Accounts Civil War Days

The meeting of the Holy Name Society of St Francis Xavier church last night in the parish hall was of unusual interest. There were two notable addresses, one by Represen- tative John Fitzgerald of Ansonia on the story of Ireland from the dim past down to the rebellion of 1916 and another by James R. Young, a veteran of the Civil war, man eighty-six years of age, but as he stood before the audience and re- lated incidents that had come under his observation as a mounted order- ly from '61 to '65 he seemed to be a boy again and talked with all the fire and vigor of youth. Then there were piano selections by Alex ander Cow and selections by George Ayotte. Mrs Ayotte acting as acc companist, all making up g very fine program.
 Wallace Inglis presided at the business meeting and Rev James T. Butler took charge during the so- cial session. Representative John Fitzgerald was the first speaker. He reviewed the history of Ireland in 8 manner which showed that he understood his subject, told of the many futile efforts to shake off for-
 
 certed action, and gave quite an in- teresting and touching picture of the scenes enacted in 1916 when several of the bravest men of the country were stood up before firing squads and died requesting their countrymen not to weep for them, but to continue the fight until they had won the independence of their country,
 MT Young said he joined the United States army when he was but sixteen and half years old and with thirty other young men he rode all over the battlefields carrying messages from one commander to remembered best were Danny Egan and "Dusty' Morgan, just little older than Mir Young himself. Dur ing his service as a mounted order ly he met Thomas Francis Meagher. Colonel Michael Corcoran of the Sixty ninth regiment had many meetings with Lincoln, Grant. Meade, and visited hospitals where severely wounded soldiers were cared for. few of whom came out alive.
 At the close of his patriotic and interesting address. he paid a high compliment to the Holy Name So- ciety. He has always been churchman, and never even during his boyhood did he ever use pro- fame language. He also added that while some may say that Grant was a great hand for swearing, he said that this was not his recollection of the generals manner of speech. On the contrary he said Grant was T kindly man, not given to rash speech, and as for Lincoln he re- ferred to him as the most lovable character he had ever known.
