COFFEE 165 PROOF | IS TAKEN IN RAID Federal Agents Visit Many Hart- ford Cales Hartford, Nov. 17.—Coffes sold in a local restaurant which, on belng test- od, measured “1656 proof” was but one of the many samples secured yes- terday during the city-wide trip of Iinvestigation made by Prohibition En- forcement Agent Thomas McAuliffe. The prohibition agents visited many Places during the day, and from each took “samples” which, in many in- Ances, gave evidence that the pro- rietors had but little regard for the Volstead enforcement act. The first victim to fall and fall hard was Stove Mitchell, Boston restaurant at No. 132 Windsor stroet. The party visiting his place had & wsearch warrant, which permitted them to look into the office. They did. It was declared to be about 166 proof, in fact almost pure alcohol. Mitchell and the coffee were taken to the Federal Bullding, where United States Commisstoner frederic J. Cor- | bett held him under 3600 bond for ex- amination Tuesday, November 23, at | 1 p. m. Mitchell furnished the bond. Most of the calls were less spectac- ular, however, and produced less im- | ‘ mediate results. Squads visited saloons ' along Windsor street, North Main strect, Asylum street, State street, Main street, south of Pearl, with side streets and Centmal row. In all they pursued about the same course went in and looked around and asked for a drink of liquor producing money, then, | If refused, looked behind the bar for JQvidence, and If they saw none went ‘on their way. The part of the story regarding the effort to purchase liquor | comes from various saloon keepers | who say the men entered their places and did not get liquor. The liquor men say the procedure is to enter, @eplay their credentials and look be- hind the bar and, if circumstances warrant elsewhere. The rald proceeded so quietly that it had made great headway before it was nolsed abroad that it was In pro- gress. Once the round of it was heard in the land the rumors as to the depre- dations of the ralders were appaling. There wasn't a soda snop in the center | or'the city which hadn’t been “caught with the goods." Hardware and dry goods stores weren'f mmmune. Even haberdasheries and barber shops had ' / been caught. It seemed for a while * s though Main street must have been a veritable Nlagara. Among the various well known places Which were visited, were the Delaney fe on North Main street, fgenna on Asylum street, Dower's n 1 Row, Jack’s cafe on Trum- bull street and others throughout that section, numbering in all about twelve. Others in other parts of the eity which wore visited brought the number vis- ited up to twenty. ’ HARDING CONSIDERS VISIT TO MEXICO proprietor of the ' Necelves Invitation and Will Make Up His Mind Within Short Time Whether to Accept.

Crane's car, coming at an excessive rate of speed, according to Martin's testimony, struck him as he Tounded the corner and glancing off went into a pole. The car was under control at the time but it would be inadvisable to come to a stop or at- tempt to clear the street, he said, on account of the other car's speed.
