Mr. Young declined to issue the charter, but said he made it plain to the ap- p'icant, who did not give his name, that the organization *“will not be sranted @ charter in this state.” Secretary Young did not give his reason for the refusal, He addeq, however, that he had informed the applicant that the laws of the state are such that the state supreme court «an issue o writ of mandamus com- 1clling the recretary of state to grant the charter.” AUTO INJURIES FATAL Andrew Taylor, 55 Aged Darien Undertaker, Vietim of Ac- cident In Stamford, Btamford, Conn, Oet, Taylor about b5 years of dertaker of Darfen, dled pital today from injuries in an automobile collision last night, With Taylor who was driving, wera Mr, and Mrs, Edward I3, Hindley and their daughter, of Darien, and 4njur- jes to the first namsd are serious, The others wera slightly hurt, The car of Mr, Taylor was on Nor- oton Hill and two motor trucks wera in coilislon just ms ha approached, Ona truel had been forced across ~ie read and against the fTaylor car erushing it against a troe, Years, 6,—Apdrew A0, AN un- At the hos- ho received May Aslkb Injunction to Pré- vent Setting Aside Order of City Meecting.

It is understood that Alderman Angelo M. Paonessa, who has been one of for the adoption of the two platoon, is heading the council delegation which will attempt to bring about the new, plan for the de process of law. Alderman could not be reachel today for a state- ment in the matter, but it is a known fact that he is not at all satisfied with the manner in which the platoon plan was sidetracked. It is reported that a member of the council, acting in the interests of the firemen, consulted Attorney Lewis Sperry of Hartford, séveral weeks ago, soon after it became evident that there (Continued on Seventh' page.) 19 LOSE THEIR LIVES Three More Bodies Recovered Today Brings the Total Up to Above Fig- ure—Signals Failed.

Joseph Jonas, of 51 Putnam street, s arrested this afternoon by Detec- tive Sergeant William C. Hart and Patrolman Thomas Feeney, following 1 raid on a saloon at the corner of Hartford avenue and Winter street. Evidence is Seized. The officers seized a five gallon jug containing what is purported to be aleohol, and two-gallon jug of fluid that looks like whiskey and a quart bettle of similar looking fluid. When questioned by the police, and later ‘vhen being booked at the police head- cuarters, Jonas said he was in the enploy of Kune Greenberg, father of Prosecutor Albert A. Greenberg of the police court, Garage Is Searched. The raid was prompted by infor- 1aation that the police secured, of four varrels of whiskey which were stored in a garage adjacent to the saloon mentioned above. The officers first searched the garage, and the barreled stuff turned out to be beer. As the warrants issued also covered the saloon, the raiders turned toward this place. In the cellar was found the jugs, and behind" the bar was tonnd the bottle. Jonas said that the sluff was sold there at 35 cents a drink. Mentions K. Greenberg. He was somewhat reluctant at first toward answering the question of Captain T. W. Grace as to his em- ployer. He had previously told Ser- geant Hart and Patrolman IFeeney that Greenberg employed him, pa ing him $25 a week. When con- fronted with this by the captain, Jonas admitted that it was true, and on the police record card there ap- pears the name of K. Greenberg as his employer. Raided Once Before. In the early days of the drive on liquor violators in this city, Theco- dore Johnson, theq a sergeant in the police department, raided the same saloon, and the bartender was fined on that occasion. It was only recently that Judge G. W. Klett announced that in future cases of liquor violations, the pro- prietor and bartender would he ar- raigned and fined. This was put in effect last Monday morning, when Charles Connors, the alleged pro- prietor of the cafe in the Hotel Be- loin, was fined as was Frank Collins, the bartender. Tt will be remembered that at the time of the raid, Con- nors was not arrested as proprietor, it being later claimed by Patrick C. Sridgett, who was charged with the proprietorship, that Connors was the owner. This morning when the case of Frank Zuk, bartender in the saloon in the Shupack block was ar- raigned in court, a continuance was ordered, because of the fact that John Lawrence, the allezed proprietor, had not been apprehended by the of- fiers.

S. Marshal William R. Palmer of Connecticut, who han been asked to resign by At- torney Gen.

He said that he ex- pecteddto make reply to Attorney Gen. Daugerty’s rejuest in a day or two and after doing so he would probably make a publiz statement as to his own position. MAYOR EXPLAINS VETO Question That Caused Altercation in Council Chamber Discussed—Reso- lution Disapproved of Monday. Mayor Orson F. Curtis this morning that the resolution for a two platoon system in the fire de- partment was disapproved of last Monday, and the veto to the proposi- tion presented last night, his action, he claims, being in strict accordance with the powers given him under the charter. At last night's meeting the ques- tion was raised as to whether mayor had acted on the matter| within the 10 days allowed him by| law. The mayor explained that it is| possible to disapprove and not veto the measure for several days and yet be within the law. MUTRIE PENSIONED OFF One of Founders of Giants in 1892 on P: ot Life.

May Issue Warrant. As concerns McAuliffe, himself, his counsel, and the representatives of the department of justice, the con- ference w: of vital importance in deciding whether there would be a warrant issued by the government charging the former chief enforce- ment agent with bribery. If it is de- |cided to issue this warrant it will probably be done during the after- noon. | THREE MORE BREAKS |‘Burglars Visit Storehouse, Saloon and Restaurant Last Night—Cigarettes and Cigars Comprise Plunder.
