SENGLE PROMISES *HORE ACTION SO0 Probibition Officil Will Take Over Job fn Two Weeks Robert L. Sengle, formerly of New Britain, newly appointed deputy pro- hibition administrator for Connecti- cut, will go to Washington for final instructions this week, and will com- mence his new duties within two | weeks, he stated today. Mr. Sengle, who has been secretary and legal adviser to the state police for a number of years and recently be- came legal adviser to the motor ve- hicle department, is winding up his | affairs in his Hartford office and James Tobin of Curtis street, this city, who eonducts the Black Kittens Night club, a well-known resort in Farmington on the Plainville town line, will be arraigned in the Farm- ington court on Wednesday evening to answer to six counts of illegally selling liguor and of keeping a place ot reputation for the sale of liquor. Stanley Gattolaula, a waiter, will an- swer to the same charges. According to County Detective Ed- ward J. Hickey, the resort has be- come 80 notorious that the state at- torney's officc may seex to have it padlocked under the prohibition law. Officer Hickey and three other plans to take over his new office asi soon as the incumbent, Frank .1 Putney, relinquishes his quties. Mr.| Putney, who held the job for, seven | vears, failed of reappointment when | lie did not pass the civil service ex-| wmination. Mr. Sengle plans some changes; 4nd & number of additions to the, staff, it is reported. One of the terms | of the agreement under which Mr. sengle took the job was that he would have adequate corps of assis- tants in the state. He promises & program of enforcement such asj Connecticut has not seen for years. | CHARTER HEARING AT STATE CAPITOL (Continued from First Page) | The opposition is based on the .xperience of other municipalitics which have reported little interest in such elections. Tt was stated at the committee meeting that less than one-half the eclectors who go into the booths to vote for officials take the trouble of voting either way on| appropriations appearing on the same machines. The proposal that a small claims court be established does not come Lefore the cities and boroughs com- | mittee for hearing. Since this mat- [ ter involves a question of courts, it was sent to the judiciary committee, whose calendar calls for hearing at a later date. Provision for regular audits of city pecords, for creation of a fund into which special revenues from the use of school buildings shall be de- posited, and regulating labllity for highway obstructions are contained in the schedule of amendmenta.

Past Grand Master Louis Haussler will be In charge. On Monday, March 4, these candidates, with five from the Middletown lodge will be given the first degree initiation.

Police £aid he tried to explain it was just an old Turkish custom. state officers raided the club last Friday evening and seized a small quantity of alleged liquor. When the officers entered the place, they oungl several patrons seated at the abs while outside there were parked about a dozen automobiles. The resort contains a row of private booths No arrest of patrons were made. The officers say that they have evidence of previous sales. YOUTH BITES GIRL, SENTENCED TO JAIL (Continued from First Page) stepped to one side to let him pass. Tostead, however, he seized her about the neck in a rough embrace and left the imprint of four teeth on her cheek. Then he ran away but she had the presence of mind to note his clothing and appearance. Prosecuting Attorney J, G. Woods, after hearing the testimony of ofti- cer Politis, Sergeant Ellinger and he girl, and noting David's refusal to testify, declared that a heavy fine and a jail sentence should be im- posed. “We never had a case like this before in this court,” he said. David May Be “Hugger’ It was learned today that a “hug- ger” has been operating on Tremont treet for the past few months but no publicity has been given his ac- tions at the request of the complain- ants, some of whom are among the most prominent residents of the street., That David is the “hugger” is believed by the police. Had he elected to fight the charge today, the police believe they would have been able to prove that the teeth marks on the girl’s cheek were inflicted by him, as they showed an exact reproduction of a space be- ! tween two of his teeth, which, with her identification and the other de- tails of the state’s case would have been counted on to offset his de- nial. Marshal Foch Again In Grave Condition ! Paris, TFeb. 25 (M—Condition of | Marshal Foch was a matter of grave concern to his physicians this morn- ing. It was known that a new spot of pulmonary congestion had ap- peared on-one of the marshal's lungs. Although the marshal was able to take some nourishment this morn- ing, it was learned he spent a rest- less night. His temperature rose to 100 and his pulse to 92. His doctors, Degennes and Daven- jere, visited him this morning and said a consultation of four physi- cians would be held later today. STOLEN BRASS RECOVERED A quantity of brass, which was stolen from the Commercial Foundry at 243 Stanley street, was recovered yesterday by Detective Bergeant G C. Ellinger a short distance from the plant. Entrance to the foundry was gained by breaking a window and lifting it out. e STEALS EGGS AND PERFUME Ansonia, Feb. 25 (UP)—A thief of diverse tastes broke into the store of W. A.
