For this purpose, it was pointed out, »the representatives of various organiza- itions have been invited to attend a del- wegates’ conference in Milwaukee June 119, 20 and 21 next, to express the views of their organizations on the subject of * forming such a coalition. « It was the idea of the committee yes- *terday that the coalition would be prin- icipally in the form of a party organ- ization of the various groups rather ‘than to rally around any individual . eandidata. ‘The third party would be formed to stand for the major issues upheld by “the Socialist party, it was sald.

Continuing a record-setting pace in the prosecution of liquor cases in Po- lice Court, the office of David A. Hart, assistant district attorney in charge of liquor prosecutions, enters the month of March with only 15 pending cases on its calendar. Five of these cases came in yesterday and of the remain- der at least three and possibly more are expected to be settled through entry of guilty pleas. During the week just ending, 92 liquor cases have been virtually disposed of in | Mr. Hart's department, 37 of which were finally settled by the passing of sentence in Police Court today by Judge Issac R. Hitt. The sentences ranged from fines of $50 to $350 and in de- {:ulc of payment, proportionate jail Tms. Of the remaining 55 cases handled this week sentence will be passed on 8 of them March 3; on March 7, sen- tence on 45 will be handed down and 7 others are due to come up for sentence March 14, On February 1 only 14 pending cases remained on the calendar in Mr. Hart's ‘office. The present number is in keeping with this record, which the prosecut- ing attorney attributes to the better handling of the cases by police officers making arrests. More concrete evidence has been assembled, he said, which brings about a greater number of pleas of guilty, théreby dispensing with the }ncesllty of long drawn out trials by ury. 1931 DRAMA CONTEST T0 END WEDNESDAY Awarding of Guild Prizes to Mark Start of Series of March Activities.
