BAYS SALOON CON BE OPEN LEGALLY. County Commissioner Smith Disagrees With Action of New- London Rolice Court. L= =8 4 Chatrman Charles [H. Smith of the Board of county comnissioners takes ue with the action of the New ndon police court in imposing & fine on Rocco Gentilella a few days #go for conducting a sajoon at the corner of Main and John _streets *“without a license.” Gentilella Was arresteq on a complaint charging him with lllegal sale of liquor. He plead- ed not_guilty, was found gullty by Judge William B. Coit and e fine 3f $100 was imposed. Gentilella ap- Pealed to the court of common pleas. 1t is the contention of Chairman Bmith of the commisioners that while Gentilella has not pald his license fee, he was, mnevertheless, operating under the jurisdiction of the county commissionérs and that the bond Which all dealers are required to give could be held for the amount of the license fees. In other words, Chairman Smith asserts that Gen- tiella’s case is one which concerned the commissioners alone and that It is not similar to that of a kitchen barroom. In this opinion Mr. Smith states that he is upheld by Attorney Arthur M. Brown of Norwich, coun- gel for the commissioners. Gentilella has kept the mofl!\ closed sinfe his appearance in polfce court, but Chairman Smith contends that ‘the license is not defunct and that the place may be reopened or the license transferred.

U. W. From present indications the gain in members of the Ancient Order of United Workers during the month of April should exceed greatly that for March as one lodge alone has al- ready obtained more than any other lodges for the corresponding period in March. Conspicuous gains have been made by several of the lodges, with the New York lodges to the front while gratifying reports are being re- ceived from the other parts of Con- necticut Jjurisdiction. The task of obtaining ‘members is by no means a di cult ome if gone at in the right way and this fact is belng demon- strated especially by those who have made their initial attempts and found out that a few well directed woras were better than a thousand that did not hit the mark. Naturally the fraternal side is one that needs emphasis, especially with Joung men. A step in placing the fraternal side on a more prominent Council, No. 13, Knights of Columbus, was convened in the usual manner Friday evening. In the absence of the grand knight, Deputy Grand Knight James presided. The minutes of the regular meeting held April 7 and special meeting held April 14 were read and approved.
