TO ENFORCE BLUE LAWS.
ABAPTIST MINISTER HIRES TEAM
 TO OBTAIN EVIDENCE.

Indignation Raised in southington by the
 Actions of the Rev. John 0. Breaker-One
 Man Will Contest the Case and Have the
 Minister Arrested.
 Southington, Jan. 6.-An attempt was made here to-day to enforce the old Connecticut blue laws. the person en- gagged in the movement being the Rev, John c. Braeker, pastor of the Baptist church of this place. It has been cus- tomary for the merchants in the town to keep their places open for part of the day, but two weeks ago the minister served notice upon all those who were doing business on Sunday that if they attempted to do any business to-day he would report them all to the prose- cutting attorney of the town.
 To-day, after the service was over in his church, the clergyman went to a liverystable and hired a team. With two others who were strangers he made a tour of the town. but found nearly all the places closed. No news papers were sold by the boys on the street in consequence of the threats of the pastor. and the barber shops were closed tighter than drum.
 In Plainville the preacher found barber shop kept by Jacob Heinrich open, and several men were in the place, waiting their turn in the chair. Cracker went into the shop and ordered Heinrich to close, but the proprietor re- fused to do so. The preacher left the place threatening to cause his arrest for violating the law. The Baptist minister then went to the home of Grand Juror George J. Gould and made complaint to him against Heinrich for keeping open. The grand juror issued a warrant for the arrest of the barber. It appears that Heinrich agreed to keep his place open to proceed after his arrest to test the law.
 At o'clock tonight the confectionery stores opened for business. Heinrich said tonight that he would make it hot for the Baptist minister, and he would make charge against him for violating the blue law in hiring team and driv- ing about the town.
 Heinrich win be brought before Town Justice Andrews in the town hall to- morrow morning for a hearing. The result of the trial is awaited with great interest by the other merchants of the town. It is claimed that the electric road stands equally liable for operating their cars to-day although no complaint was made against them.
 The actions of the proceedings of the minister caused quite a sensation in the town to-day, and in the pulpit this 1 evening Rev. MT. Braeker referred to | his crusade to his congregation. He stated that if he was upheld in the law by the justice tomorrow in the case | against Heinrich that he intended to | continue the complaints against the l merchants who continued to violate | the law by keeping their places open | on Sunday. It is the general opinion | in the town that Heinrich will formally | make complaint tomorrow if he is con- victed.
