| U. 5. DRY GHIEF 1 NOW IN WATERBURY Said to Be Directing “Dry-Up” ampaign There Waterbury, July 26.—James E. Wheeler, federal prohibition director for Connecticut, conferred with local federal agents, Supt. of Police George M. Beach, members of the local vice squad and State Policeman John B. Highrain at police headquarters yes- terday afternoon relative to the cam- paign to be waged against saloon keepers and club owners this week and the order of State's Atty, Terrence F. Carmody to all saloon and club owners to dismantle their places of business and rid their premises of the liquor selling atmosphere, In an finterview Mr. Wheeler said that every bar in Waterbury must be dismantled this week, All the fixtures including mirrors, bar rails and other effects that make the aura of a sa- loon must go, he said. He added that no exception will be made for, those who retain their bars on the grounds that they intend to sell soft drinks. “In the event that a saloon keeper or club owner does not remove his bar when ordered by the state’s attor- ney to do so, federal injunction will be placed on his place of business re- gardless of whether he sells liquor or not,” Mr. Wheeler declared. Names Are Compiled The names of all the club and sa- loon keepers in .the city and those suspected of violating the state and federal liquor laws have beén gath- ered by the vice squad and local federal officers and will be turned over to ‘State’s Atty. Carmody today. The state's attorney will order every person whose name appears on the list to dismantle his place of business immediately. It is understood that State's At- torney Carmody will publish the list of names turned over to him by the police. State and local policemen and federal officers will also receive lists and will visit every place {immedi- ately. Several persons, whose names appear on the *‘dead list” have never been arrested for violating the liquor law but nevertheless their names have bean placed on the list because their places have been under suspi- cion for some time but the police have been unable to arrest them, officers sald. It is understood that many of these places were ‘‘pro- tected.” Bars Must Go. It was polnted out yesterday by Mr. Wheeler that if a man wants to retain his bar to use as a counter he must have the bar made into counter | dimensions. This statement was ar- gued last night by a prominent local lawyer who explained that there is nothing in the Volstead act which limits the dimensions of a bar, nor which prohibits swinging doors, mir- rors or bar rails. Mr. Wheeler pointed out as a spe- cific instance that the ‘bar at Dresch- er and Keck's restaurant on Harri- 80N avenue must go. He explaineq trat the firm has not sold a drop of liquor slnce prohibition went into effect and has not sold heer, the al- coholic content of which has been over the limit prescribed by law, but because the bar s suggestive of a saloon, it must be removed or else reduced to counter size, The firm sells sandwiches over the bar and keeps glassgs on the shelves under- neath it. Mr., Wheeler also sald that all the tars in Hartford have been removed. He declared that there were 66 bars and the owners dismantled them fol- lowing the state's attorney's order, No Injunctions were served in the capital city, he sald. TFollowing the campalgn in Waterbury, a similar one will be waged in New Haven, he added. CITY ITEMS.

LUNGHEON OF THE LOCAL ROTARIANS Large Gathering Addressed - by Former Boston Univ. Professor At a luncheon of the Rotary Club held at the Elks club this noon fit was voted that each member shall buy a club badge at $1.50, The luncheon was well attended, Harold Whitehead, a former Boston University professor, who spoke, was well received when he was introduced by President Fred Rackliffe, Mr. Whitehead said that he did not wish to be considered a college pro- fessor who was attempting to talk to a gathering of busginess men and try to give them a lot of theories, but that he had been interested in business for a number of years and would try to give them practical advice and some business hints that he has picked up. He said that a successful business is based on three things: Principle, Policy ‘and Method, and that in order to have a successful business it is necessary to get perfect co-operation between these departments of busi- ness. A business with a strong princi- ple, and a weak policy might be fairly successful, he said, but a business with no principle and & hazy policy would be sure to lead to fail- ure. He said a business man with an indefinite policy is steering his ship or business, on a course which he did | not know. He was looking out for the rocks directly ahead of him but he ‘was not looking "ahead ‘to where he was going and for that reason he was not sure whether he was going in a straight line, crooked line, or in a cir- cle. He quoted a number of instances in which a man or a business had a good policy but a policy to which they failed to adhere and in the end the fruits of that good policy amounted to nothing. He drew a contrast between system and red tape. He said system stepped on the accelerator while red tape step- ped on the brake, that system said “‘go here” while red tape said ‘‘road closed.” He gave a number of in- stances in which red tape led to the slowing up and the complication of the business of a firm. He sald that the retail merchants in a city had nothing to fear from a chain store if they conducted their business in a business-like manner. In closing, he said not to measure success in dollars but to measure suc- cess in service and that he who serv- ed best would profit best in the special manner in which he so desired to profit, or succeed. Will Trade Jail Term For Name of Bootlegger Miltord, Conn,, July 26.—A mitiga- tion of punishment which would mean no jall sentence was offered by Judge J. D.

President Arthur W. Upson of the Civic Safety League called at police headquarters this afternoon and hand- ed a list of about a dozen names and addresses to Chief of Police Wililam (¢, Hart with a request that prosecu- tion for violation of the liquor law be brought. The police chief expressed willing- ness to arrest anyone upon the pre. sentation of ample proof of their guilt. He asked the Civic League head if he was in a position to furnish witnesses against those whom he accused. Mr, Upson replied in the affirmative. A few minutes after he had left po- lice headquarters, Mr. Upson returned and told Chief Hart he might be in a position to get in touch with the agent in question at once. He asked for the privilege of using a telephone where he might not be heard. He was di- rected to the chief's office where he entered, closing the door behind him carefully. When he emerged he walked out of the station without saying anything, then returned and requested that the {ist be returned to him. This was done and the Civic League head left headquarters without making further reports on liquor activitles which the league is aiming to suppress.
