A sensation that startled circles and gave ri to various rumors concerning ‘“inside” dectails of the liquor traffic in New Britain, | was sprung today, when it became known that the information on which the latest and most sweeping | drive against alleged dealers in il- | licit liquor in this city was based, came into possession of the state's attorney’s office at Hartford through Reuben Fenn, aged 32, alleged Vootlegger, of Lakewood, R. I, who is awaiting trial in superior court on the charge of transporting liquor by means of a motor vehicle. For the past several weeks specu- lation has been rife as to the reason tor the failure of the state's attor- ney's office to present Fenn in court and inquiry always elicited the reply that murder cases and other matters of & pressing nature had pushed the Tenn case intp the background. It became known today, however, that ¥enn has made admissions to Coun- ty Detective Edward J. Hickey of the state’s attorney’s office, and on the strength of his information, the | clean-up of stores, restaurants, tene- wents and other places having the reputation for the sale of liquor in this city, began yesterday and con- tinued into the night, with the re- sult that 11 men faced Judge Henry I Roche in police court today charged with violating the liquor law. Their cases were continued until Thursday, May 24, after Prose- cuting Attorney J. G. Woods had entered leas of not guilty and re- qQuested that postponement be made. Judge W. F.

DEAN WARNS FRESHMEN Receives “Tip” Yale 1931 Start Riot Tonight in New Haven Theater—Calls Class on Carpet. New Haven, May 18 (P—A tip which reached the manager of & lo- cal theater and was passed on by him to Dean Clarence W. Mendell of Yale college resulted in the entire freshman class of the college being summoned to a meeting with the Jean and warned of the conse- quences of starting a riot outside the campus grounds. Rumor had it that “the freshman riot,” an almost annual event, would he staged tonight in a downtown theater, but Dean Mendell's warning is now thought to have effectually spiked the plans, The Yale Daily News in an article addressed “To 1931" says the “Sug- gostion either to carry out the riot to the fullest possible extent or not 1o stage it at all is the most note- worthy of all. The former would ne- cessitate a sham battle with New Haven's ‘finest’ but the most violent of riots in the past have yet to reach this standard. The only sane alter- native would be a methodical work- ing off of stcam in more useful and less hazardous pursuits.
