J. Richardson, and following a second raid on Long’s hotel in Hart- ford last night where the police con- fiscated an additional $10,000 worth of liquor, making $30,000 in all taken from there in less than a week, and a raid on Lennehan's cafe, where five cases of whiskey were found, Prohibi- tion Director Harry E. Mackenzie has issued orders closing all saloons in the state where found to be selling more than one-half of one per cent. liquor. The raid on Lennehan's widely known cafe at Trumbull and Pearl streets, which cafe is said to be the property of John T. Lenneban, was conducted by the vice sguad and pro- hibition enforcement uad of the Hartford police’ department. Five cases of choice whiskey were confis- cated and removed to police head- quarters. The liquor was found on the second floor of the building, where Lennehan claims his residence, in a room directly over the saloon. Liquor Worth $30,000. That the $30,000 worth of liguor seized at Long’'s hotel may have come from Canaan and other places in that section of the State, where local rum runners were said to Rave obtained considerable of the illicit fluid, is be- lieved, from the statement alleged to have been made by Richardson that the booze taken from Long’s hotel and the $6,000 worth seized at the farm of John F. Hood, in Bloomfield, sev- eral weeks ago came from a common source. Richardson is thought to have knowledge ot considerable booze com- ing from the upper corner of the state, as well as from down towards New Haven. It is rumored that the disclosures are implicating more strongly than éver promisent men and officials in this city. The refusal of Timothy J. Long, the Delaney Brothers d Fred Beloin to come to the resciié of the 'Richard- sons with sufficient bail is said to have had considerable influence upon the deposed detective sergeant in the sweeping dlaclosures he is alleged to ‘have made. It is in conmnection with the confession made by Richardson that other prominent arrests are ex- pected here. Inasmuch as two men who stand well in the ranks of the re- publican party are rumored to be im- plicated in the investigation,' subse- quent developments are being watched ‘with- interest. It is said that the raid last Wednes- day night on Long’s hotel when $20,- 000 worth of high priced liquor was confiscated was madevon a sudden tip and that the police claim the liquor was reccived within the 48 hours pre- ceding the raid. Prohibition Director Mackenzie, Who f=ued the tatewide order following the second raid on ‘that hotel last night, in a statement said that the Long brothers had suf- rendered their liquor permit on May 9, notifying his office that their supply of Tiquor was exhdusted. Consequent- 1y all lquor found on the premises since that time is claimed to have been held illegally. Following action by the Hartford authorities, Mr. Mackenzie said he would ask United States District At- torney Smith to take action. It is_understood that Superintendent Hurley of the state police got in“touch with Mackenzie immediately after the issue of the order and offered the services ‘of the state police in enforc- ing the order. This action was follow- ed early this morning by Chief Wil- liam J. Rawlings, of the local police department, with the statement, “We are at the disposal of anybody who wants to enforce the laws.” Ralph H. Blakeslee, who has been PRE-WAR PRICES AT SMART MILLINERY — AT A POPULAR PRICE — Trimmed ' Hats NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1621. appointed acting chief of the fleld di- vision of the prohibition office' in place of Thomas F. McAuliffe, now under $30,000 bail, charged with accepting bribes from the Giardino brothersy owners of the Hotel Grand in New Britain, was ordered to proceed against saloone at once and arrangements were made to seek the co-operation 5t police in every community in the state. 2 Saloons On Increase. Saloons in this state are said to have increased more than 10 per -cent. and there are more than 400 in this state righ{ now. Mr. Mackenzie has pointed out that efforts to enforce the prohibition act are almost useless as long as the open door of the saloon offered a mecca for bootleggers. Ar- rangements have been made at the state laboratory to have daily tests of product turned out by the Gozen or more breweries in Connecticut. Rumors are rife of an increase in the available supply of liquor is New Haven. It is said one liquor dealer in that city has just received 20 bar- rels of whiskey and another is getting ready for the winter by moving in 2,000 cases of the same material. In connection with the DBristol de- velopinents there has arisen what ap- pears to be somewhat of a friction between Constable Edward J. O'Keefe and the police department, with the result that O'Keefe has stated he will report his discoveries to Director Mac- kenzie instead of the local chief of police henceforth.” This is due, he says to the failure of the local police, to act on his information. O’Keefe intimates that certain Bris- tol police are taking bribes to fore- stall raids in saloons. Mrs. Kate Saleka, of Bristol, was sentenced to 10 days in jail yesterday for violating the liquor laws. She was also fined. the costs arhounting to $18.05, which will mean 18 more days in jail if she does not raise the money. PRESS CONVENTION. Honolulu, Oct. 14.—President Wal- ter Williams of the press congress of the world, now In session here, today appointed a committee charged with the duty of perpetuating the Pan-Pa- cific press congress as a division of the' world body and ‘allotted to it a suggested program, of which one fea- ture was action as an agency for in- terchange of acéurfite news concern- ing the Pacific peoples. This work, it is declared is the program, would serve as an instrument for making the future of the Pacific regions peaceful. MANY CHARGES IN VIRGINIAN FEUDS Court Action Ranges From Mur-, der to Gun Toting Logan, W. Va.,, Oct. 14,—Logan- Boone county disturbance defendants joday continued their testimony, be- gun yesterday jn support of an ap- blication for admittance to bail fol- lowing postponement of their trials the day before until the January term of circuit court. When Judge Robert Bland this morning ascended the improvised bench in a motion picture theater, serving as a courtroom while the county building is being repaired, it was brougr out that the hearing would be concluded probably by noon. The taking of testimony was made | necessary by the prosecution’s objec- tions to the release on bond of 18 of the 81 men who appeared for trial Wednesday. The regular grand jury has added a number of indictments to those re- turned Several weeks ago by a special grand jury and the. total now ex- ceeds 600. The charges range from murder tb gun “totin” and resulted from disorders in Boone and eastern Legan counties late in August and early in September when 11 men were killed. Most of the defendants heard so far have testified they were unwilling par- ticipants but the prosecution has sought through questioning to show that they made no effortsto shirk the tasks assigned to them by men whose names they gave as “Blanton, Thomp- son and Czlitch.” Pat Crawford, one of the applicants for ball, told the court he was a union miner adding that he only took part in’ the trouble through the coercion of “Blanton.” % Eli Akers, another defendant tes- tified that “‘Blanton” had made him work on a road out of Jeffery, near which place most of the trotible oc- curred. “Who -is Blanton?” asked. ©I don’t know,” Akers answered. “He's supposed to live in Ottawa.” Judge Bland.

Dam- age to the extent of $100 was done to the car. The thieves next turned their at- ar- who tention to the chicken-coop and & dozen or more prize hens of some¢ fancy stock recently purchased by Mr. Anderson for breeding purposes were taken. A neighbor, Henry Furman, was “honored” with a visit by the same midnight prowlers and more than 50 chickens stolen.
