The deputy sheriff took with him in nhis automobile Sergeant John H. Kane, Officers Charles Ebberts, Joseph Farrell and John Dombrowski, leaving police headquarters just before 1 o'clock. Gard- ner hag the front door of his place lock- ed, but Officer Farrell secured entrance, when he .knocked, and. was jmmediately followed by Sergeant Kane and Deputy Sheriff Main, the first two officers being in time to get hold of Gardner in time to prevent him from entirely emptying a quart bottle that he was trying to pour into the sink, Some of the contents of the bottle was sopped -up from the sink and poured into a jar as additional evi- dence.

Federal Officers Macho! and Courtland Brown of New London located a Buick sedan in this city Saturday afternoor about 5 o'clock at the parking place near the New Haven railroad station, arrest- ing a man with it who gave the name of Jonathan Kramer df Taftville. The officers found in the car 30 gallons of what s said to be hooch. Tt was in bot- tles and other containers and Was ap- parently put up for commerclal pur- poses. Kramer had his wife and two children in the car with him when the officres arrested him and brought him at onoe before U. S. Commissioner Earl Mathewson at his office in the Thayer building. Commissioner Mathewson found proba- ble cause and bound Kramer over to the U. S. district court under $500 bonds, which were furnished. It is stated that Kramer made a complete confession of his_connectlon with the business. With a search warrant jssued through the commissioner the officers hustled up to Kramer's house immediately after the hearing and stated that they there found further evidence of his activities in the liquor business. ASKING VETERANS' PROMISE NOT TO TAKE CASH AID Advance pledges from veterans of the World war not to accept a_cash bonus unless they absolutely need money to relieve immediate distress have been cailed for by Robert G. Woodside, na- tional commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. Woodside's call for a volunteer committee of 10,- 000 veterans to accept and spread the; doctrine of accepting adjusted service certificates or Jand and home aid instead of cash, was Issued at New York follow- ing a luncheon of the Veterans of For- eign Wars commander with Senator McCumber, sponsor of the soldiers’ bo- nus bill in the senate, Senator James Watson of Indiana, member of the fi- nance committee, and Congressman Roy Fitzferald, Ohio, chalrman of the vet- erans' organization in the house. “The senators and congressmen want to pass the bonus or adjusted compensa- tion bill at this session,” declared Wood- side after visiting a score of senate and house leaders, “but they seem afraid that every veteran would immediately demand his bonus in cash. This is far from true, and the V. F. W. will organ- ize a committee of 10,000 to prove to congress that it is not the case. The Fordney-McCumber Dill includes several provisions much more valuable to vet- erans than the cash bonus. The adjust- ed service certificates, which consist of a paid wp Insurance policy with definite loan value, are worth several times as mue hto a.veteran as the cash bonus. The Land and Home Ald section offers him 40 per cent. more than the cash sec- tion, if he appliss the money on buying & city or country home. We anticlpate that 90 per cent. of veterans would ac- cept these options rather than the cash bonus. Only those veterans In distress will choose the cash option. “Our organization is offering its ser- vices through its thousand posts and 100,000 active members to organize sen- timent in favor of accepting the more substantial benefits. We do this in con- fidence that congress will fulfill the promise of many members of both houses that the adjusted compensation bill will be passed at this session. We haye not the least doubt that once the bill is passed, the ex-service men will accept $3 in paid up insurance with a government loan guarantee,, rather tham $1 in cash. This fs especially true be- cause the bill spreads the cash payments over two or three years in small quar- terly sums. We Msist that the cash fea- ture be retained, because a certain num- ber of veterans are unemployed or fac- Ing severe family distress requiring im- mediate ald. But we will certainly urge every veteran to take the Insurance or the home aid, which are worth much more to him and more to the country, “I belleve my call for a volunteer committee of 10,000 will be answered with twice that many pledges, which will be placed in the hands of our national legislative committee to be shown to congress. This commiftea Will then be ready to aid In an active campaign when the bill s passed, to educate all veter- ans, both in and out of the Veterans of Forelgn Wars, to accept the bigger and better options of the four-fold biil WAY OF LIFE MEETIN AT CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH A series of religious meetings called the Way of Life meetings has heen ar- ranged for, each night this week, with the exception of Saturday, at the Central Baptist church.

Mr. Fletcher's letter follo As you remember we left Norwich carly Thursday morning with the ther- mometer hovering around the zero mark and to Otho and myself on the motor- cycle it seemed as though it wag about 40 below. It was terrible riding dur- ing the day and we only made as far as Jersey City, where we stopped for the night. ‘The next morning we started out, fol- lowing Mr. Bottomley, who was leading the way In a Ford, equipped for camp- ing, and believe me, camping was no pleasure at that temperature. The sec- and day we got as far as Belair, Pa., after a trip over fcy and slippery roads, there being a large amount of ice on all the highways, and an especially large amount on) the hills. Aftér Pegnsylva- nia the temperature began to derate and although we encountered innum- erable hills the golng was somewhat bet- ter. Virginia roads are dirt and are all right if jt were not for the mud. We struck a bad stretch of mud between Frederlcksburg and Richmond, where at times we sank to the hubs. The machine wag rather heavy to.life, but di it and finally go through to the Carolinas. The roads here were somewhat sandy, but not bad and the going was good until we struck Into Georgzia. From Augusta to Jacksonville, Florida, the roads were terrible and Otho certainly had a lot of pushing exercise to get us through. We encountered a number of detours and on onme of these we lost the Bottomley car which we found out later arrived in Miami a day ahead of us. “From Jacksonville to Datona_ there is a narrow brick road, or what\used to he a brick road, for there is a brick here and there but the rest is a hole. It fairly made us seasick and dlzzv dodging the bricks and teams on this stretch but aft- er Datona the golnz was good. The weather here is fust Iike spring tn old Connecticut and it is a great country, but, believe me, never again will T come by the motorclcle route. We made the trip in eleven days, not had for a green- horn, copsidering onr aimless wanderings in the desert wastes of good old Georgla.” CRAMPTON HOLDS ON AS GAME COMMISSION SUPERINTENDE The reappointment by the new fish and game commission of John M. Crampton to the post <f superintendent was a keen disappointment to some of those who fav- ored the change In the law at the last session which abolished the old commi: sion of eight and substituted for it a ccm- mission of three. When the bill was be- fore the general assembly to change the law it was said In the corridors that under it the commission “would get rid of Crampton.” Senator Edward H. Bailey of the Twent: arth district, who was re- cently appointed postmaster of Danbu was suggested as the successor Cramiton in the Superintendency. Sena- was the chairman of the com- mittee which reported the bill.

Rudd for the construction of the big con- crete bathhouses and pavilion which he proposes to erect at Ocean heach, New London, in connection with a contract entered into by the city have been re- j#tted because they were too high. Wiifle Mr. Rudd proposes to crect the building at not to exceed $50,000, the bids ranged from $69,500 to $105,000 for the general contract and approximately $5,000 extras for the plunbing and ap- proximately $2,500 extra for the elec- trical work. Under the agreement with the oty the latter is to pay approximately $4,000 of the plumbing bill which Includes the pub- lic toilets. All the remainder of the cost of con- struction and equipment falls upon Mr. Rudd personally. In addition to the erection of the buflding, Mr. Rudd agrees th pay the city a total rental of $50,- 000 during the 20 vear period of the contract. Mr. Rudd sald Saturday that he will ask for new bids and mey make some slight modlfications and hopes that he will be able to bring the lowest of the 10 bidders down to the $50,000 which is about all he is willing to put into the project. CENTRAL BAPTIST PASTOR COMMENDS HIS, CONGREGATION Rev. Dr. David A. Pitt, who came to the pastorate of the Central Baptist church last June, outlined a programme of work up to Easter to his congregation at the morning service service Sunday, and had warm words of welcome to the response” that had been made by the church to his leadership in the last three months. Judged by the total response that had been made in this iine, he de- clared that he could look upon this pe- riod as the most successful in his whole experience in the ministry.

WANTS DRY MEN IN CONGRESS “Our big task this year” sald Mrs. Mary B. Wilson, state president of the Whman's Christian Temperance wuifix{ “is to elect ‘dry’ men to congress and put out the ‘wets’ who are already in. The memars of the Ccnmecticut delegation can take this as they lMke. In ‘my address hefore the New Haven nstitute I said just that but I ddn't mentfon any par- tiazlar members of the delegation. .’ Mrs. Wilson was quoted In a New Ha- ven newspaver as having said that the ob- ject of the friends of prohibitlon this year was to defeat Scnator George B. McLean. “As a matter of fact,* said Mrs. Wil- son, “the Comnecticnt delegation is con- cress has woted against practically every measure for the enactment amd enforce- ment scf prohibition.

In no quarter is there apparent a dis- position to raise an isswe which might endanger the treaty at this point in the negotiations, but among the foreign dele- gations it is predicted privately that th armed ship problem will be one of the most difficult of the collateral questions to_arise. The Itallans, Japanese and France are all said to feel that if merchantmen are to be permitted to arm as in wars past, the effect might be fot only to vitiate the project to limit individual auxiliary ‘warships to 10,000 tons each but it might also result in a great disadvantage to the nations which have small merchant fleets. Beyond saying that the status of a merchant ship in future is to be the status well understood In international law, the American and British delegates are not willing to discuss the subject. The sub-committee draft of the instru- ment was virtually complete tonight and the full maval committes probably will begin its discussion of detail and phrase- ology tomorrow or Tuesday. A plenary session of the conference fo make the treaty public probably will follow before the end of the week. i probably never will reach the 100 per the ead act were apathetic citizens and Major agreement during the Week was expressed. tonight in American quarters. X I evidentithat thre logg discussed Shantung problem has been ‘brought to 3 delicate stagé, where either a settlement or an agreement to disagree will be an- nouncec within & few days. The question of grming merchantmen has arisen in connedtion with the attempt of the naval experts to include in the treaty a definition of the term “warship.” Such a definition is regarded by the naval authorities as necessary, particularly in view of the 10,000 ton auxiliary limit and the related provision prohibiting any auxiliary craft from ecarrying guns of more than eight inch calibre. Although no announcement was made after today’s long meeting of the expert sub-committee, there wers indications that the attempt to define an auxiliary ‘warship was giving the committee mem- bers considerable-trouble. In it, it is said, is involved the whole question of wartime relations between merchant fleets and war fleets. In Italian quarters it was sald tonight that although they expected nine-tenths of the sub-committee draft of the naval treaty. to be accepted without prolonged discussion, there was every expectation that the armed merchantman question would come up for am exhaustive ex- change of views. The pofition of the Itallans was sald to be that the status of a merchant ship would be effectually changed under the limitation agreement, and that if no change were provided for, the nations having the greatest merchant tommage would become in the nature of things disproportionately powerful. The arming with 12-inch or 14-inch guns of a 54,000 ton merchant ship Itke the Leviathan, it is pointed out, would have a tendency to undermine ths 10.000 ton, eight-incn auxiliary clauss, unless armed merchant- men are to be considered as warships. The Japanese also are described as Delieving that the status of merchant s must be considered in connection with the general naval question. Al- though the French give evidence of hold- ing similar views, and also of being un- certain whether merchantmen could ‘arm under the new regulation prohibiting sub marine S on commerce, they say they do not intgnd to raise the point at this stage of the negotiations. ;< FRANKLIN ROADSTER — series, 4- o this car is excellent. matic wind-shisld clean an im| A IR FORD — 1 Touri i 915 n and new radiator, = FRANKLIN SEDAN — Hers's. bargain in a closed car. model.
