News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 Clergyman’s Father-in- Law Attempts to Inter- fere With Raiders and - He too, is Arrested Police Get Tip From Man Who Admitted Being a Booze Smuggler for For- mer Mission Leader. Bridgeport, June 10.—A man car- rying a black bag through Main street after he had left the house at 1751 late last night interested some -city detectives who happened to be in that neighborhood, and they accosted the man. He sald-he was carrying “dirty clothes” to the laundry. The officers had to be shown and the bag yielded two gallons of “likker.” The man said he was Charles Cooper and was a “liquor runner” for Rev. Gennario Spiriano, who formerly kept a mission in North Washington avenue. The officers went into 1751 Main street and found a complete distilling apparatus, even to a purifying and rectifying device, and 20 gallons of lquor which was declared to be above the ordinary. Today, Rev. Mr. Spiriano was ar- rested on a charge of violation of the liquor laws. The police claim that he made the liquor for his own use. The clergyman's father-in-law, Rocco Ru- busto, of 1749, interfered with the of- ficers and was arrested. The Cooper case was continued until June 12 also the clergyman's case and the father- in-law placed under nominal bonds.

Grace, who notified the New Rochelle department to hold Ba- bula until an officer can be sent after him.

Jones and Naples were apprehended, and bound over to the June term of the superior court.

On the Fourth of July, the corner stone will be laid by the Rt. Rev. J J. Nilan, bishop of Hartford, for the new Polish Orphan's Home here.

It's almost 30 years since he came to New Britain as a young priest. There were not even 100 Po- lish families in the city at the time and but few in the state. New Brit- ain at that time was only a°small struggling community. Father Boj- nowskl worked and struggled with it The hillside on Broad street and the property on which the beautiful gran- ite church and fine brick school stand, worth now over a quarter of a million dollars, was then a barren piece of land. Twenty-five years of unceasing labor have built and orbanized one of the best congregations in this state. The Poles in New Britain own more homes than they do in any other Po- lish colony in America of equal size They are a thrifty and industrious people and Father Bojnowski deserves a great deal of credit for that work Nearly 2,000 children attend the par- ochial school, preparing themselves to become useful and industrious Ameri- can citizens Besides building a beautiful and a fine up-to-date school, Bojnowski, some 14 years ago, started a Polish paper in New Britain, in or- | der to explain to the new comers, their duties as future American cfti- zens, teaching them to love the land of their adoption and to obey its laws. The Catholic Leader, which has a| larger circulation, not only in New church Father Britain but also in the entire state of Connecticut, than any other Polish paper, rendered conspicuous service to America,during the war. .

Court- ney, whose mangled body was found on the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R. tracks near the Saugatuck station, June 2, according to the findings of Coroner J. J. Phelan, made public here today. Coroner Phelan in the text of his findings shows that Courtney left Nor- walk for Bridgeport on the evening of June 1 and left train No. 66 at Sauga- tuck about 9:20. In the opinion of the station/ officials and others who ob- served him Courtney was in a *“dazed"” condition. The station master and others, noting that he was not fully in control of the faculties gave him di- rections to reach Bridgeport. Court- ney was at the Baugatuck post office about 9:45 waiting for a trolley car to Bridgeport. The office is about 75 feet from the station. Thecoroner said it was apparent that Courtney wandered back to the station and either sat at the edge or stood at the edge of the platform on the west side when the 9:58 train came along. He was struck by a truck on a mail car in that train. The en- t! t t i Fire in Boston This Morn- ing Does Damage Which Amounts to Upwards of $150,000 Woonsocket, R.
