Levy was taken to the Wil- Nmantic police station and locked up and was given a hearing in police court with intent to sell without a license. He pleaded not guilty, saying he was only a passenger In the machine and had mothing to do with the booze-running transaction.

In the meantime, with the ald of the Waterbury police an effort will be made to locate Braun Friday night's chase, was in many re- spects one of the most spectacular In the history of the department. It began at the west end of the city where Braun failed to heed the command of the offic- ers stationed there to halt, and instead stepped on his gas. He came through the main streets of the city at breakneck speed with the officers following and barely whged a collision with a freight train at ‘he Main street crossing. Levy afterwards admitted to the authorities that they came through the city about Aty miles an hour and at times were “Bitting eighty.” Braun, Intending to go to Putnam missed his road aad got on the highway leading to Windham Center. The officers in the pursuing ma- chine, Patrolman John Killourey and Frank Mclean, surmised that the inten- tion of the runners was to go by way of Putnam and proceeded to North Wind- ham where they lay in walt. Their con- jecture proved correct and the booze runner turned off this side of Windham Center and drove to North Windham by way of a back road. Here they were | halted once more by the officers, one of the latter getting out of the machine teo step on the running board of the car when Braun once more “gave her the due, Miss Olive Keith, Miss Catheri Sll-te.' lard N.

The men said they did not think they were breaking the epeed laws and did not know that Constable Dem- A. s, e, ine of 1 rn a 10 ing was an officer of the law. The charge was then modified and Towne pleaded guilty as he was the driver the car. The case against Burns was nolled. Town was fined five dollars and costs, amounting to $14.50, the fine being remitted. The young men said that they were employes of a Webster shoe manu- facturing concern.

Rev. J. A. Wood, pastor of the Meth- odist church, the second speaker of the afternoon, in his first public speech ever made before a Jewett City audience, em- phasized the great vafue to the country at the present time of the stalwart, moral, upright young men. He pointed out What it meant to possess moral strength and said it was a day of ideals of intellect and of freedom. Great is the mind of man, in its many proofs of the keenest judgments. His illustration of the great- ness and strength of such characters as Samson, Hector and Achilles served as substantiation of his theme. The final thought of keeping inviolable the subjec- tion of the body to the ruling of the intel- lect was one upon which the speaker placed special emphasis. Young men, he advised, keep clean and pure before God and man, and then in the hands of such invincible strength this great country will be in safe keeping. the | i 1 | | { 1 | | 1 | New Member Interstate Commerce Commission B J ing as one of the mission in 1916 in recognition of in Indianapolis. wold for a long time said that as Repre- sentative Berry had intimated, we should never be allowed to forget how the very their precious blood to maintain the integrity Referring to the honored few who represented the G.
