SHOKE SHOP OWNER FINED FOR SELLING Neighbors Complained About | Store on Park Street | Pleading guilty to the charge of violation of -the liquor law in a smoke shop at 331 Park strect, Bior Johnson, aged 40. of 70 John street was tined $75 and costs by Judge H P. Roche in police court today. As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney W. M Greenstein told the court that when Sergeant O'Mara and Officers Kiely and Liebler went into the smok: shop last Saturday, a young man who waus either a partuer or an en- ploye was serving a drink to a cus- tomer, and at sight of the police, hie hurled a bottle of alleged liquor in an attempt to get it over a partition and out of sight, but it struck the partition and fell to floor. There was a small amount of alleged liquor in it. Complaints by residents of the neighborhood and policemen on the beat led to the raid. Mr. Greenstein said, and according to the police the place is not very well stocked. Johnson admitted that he sold drinks for 25 cents, and was the pro- prietor. Attorney Hagearty, repre- senting Johnson, said the latter has told him he would get out of the | business at once, and Judge Roche remarked that the court was not concerned with a person’s means of livelihood so long as it was within | the law. The fact that Johnson had been in -the smoke shop only since August 11 was apparently a begin- ner in the liquor business were cir- cumstances worthy of consideration, | the court said. Morris Milstein, aged 52, of 44 Camp street, charged with non sup- | port, agreed to pay his wife $5 a | week and Judge Roche continued the | case for one week in charge of the probation officer with this under- | anding. He made it plain to Mil- stein that the court will order him | to post a bond or go to jail in de- fault of one, should he fail to keep | up payments, and 1t is also within the powsr of the court to raise or | lower the amount, depending on circumstances. Mr. Greenstein said | he had looked into the case since it | was continued yesterday and was | satisfied that Milstein had been a resident of New Britain for three | years and his wife, who lives in New York, was willing to live with him, but he was not agreeable to such an arrangement. | MERRITT APPROVES ‘DRY’ LAW REPEAL (Continued from First Page) cfCongress or by a convention called by the request of the Irgislatures of two-thirds of the states, and then| tie proposed change must be rati- | licd by three-fourths of the state. “There are 48 states, so 36 would be required to consent to the repeal of the amendment after two-thirds of the House and Senate proposed such repeal.

The Platform The following pluform adopted: “Believing that national prosperity and the welfare of the individual citizen has been most successtully promoted when the government has been entrusted to the republican | party, we unqualifiedly endorse the | platform adopted by the republican national convention and pledge our hearty and enthusiastic support to the republican candidates for presi- dent and Vice president of the United States. was Praise Coolidge “We believe that the Coolidge ad- ministration has been characterized by wisdom and common sense, and that republican administration of the nation's affairs has been notable for its economies in financial manage- ment, its businesslike conduct of sovernment and its achicvements in Lringife peace to the world. In the nomination of Herbert Hoover, we believe the republican party has se- lected a man preeminently fitted for the presidency by his natural gifts of mind and heart, by his technical training and to aid human welfare; we feel that his election will bring the White House an orderly mind, a clear vision, a compreiensive grasp ot domestic and interior affairs, far sighted constiuctive leadership and an ability to continue present sound policies of government, “We reiterate our sincere endorse- ment of the republican principle of protective tariff. so vital to the pros- perity of the citizens of Connecticut We deplore and protest against any attempt at encroachment directly or indirectly. on the powers and rights reserved to the states under the fed- eral constitution.
