A third prosecution by the health department for milk which is not up to standard was brought this morn- ing when Ell Falk was summoned to appear in police court to charges of violation of the pure food laws, Falk did not put in an ap- pearance, however, and his case will be tried tomorrow morning. The ac- cused has appeared before the local court on numerous other occasions to answer a similar charge. Witnesses for the state are rlupc-rmtendentI Jesse H. Harris of the health depart- | ment, Dr. B. D. Rackliffe meat, milk and food Inspector for the City of New Britain and Abram Thomas, bacteriologist for the department. Two boys, 14 and 15 years old re-‘| spootively, were in chambers on a eharge of ringing in a false alarm. Because of the seriousness of the charge a continuance for one week | was ordered #o that the father of one | of the boys, who is now returning | from a trip to Kurope, might be in ! court. The alarm was rung in Sat- | urday night from Box 37 at 9:45. The fire department responded but found no one near the box, which is on Harrison street, so an investigation was instituted with the result that admiswions of their guilt were se- cured from each of the accused. The misdemeanor, it is explained, carries with it a fine of $500 or one year in prison or both. While ad- mitting their guilt, the boys claim the glass in the box was broken when they first saw it. They thought it part of a Hallowe'en prank and not | realizing the serlousness of the of- fense pulled the lever. Two boys gave Patrolman Quirk the “raspberry” when they cluded him last week after a chase on Park- more street but the tables were re- | versed last night when the youths answer of their tricks upon a neighbor.
