SUNDAY OF RAIDS
IN EARLY VISIT TO THE EAST
SHORE NETS RESULTS.

Police Headquarters Looked Like a
Wholesale Beer House-Plenty of That
Fluid but Only One Bottle of whislsey--
Confectionery Not the Only Thing Sold
Police Continue Active.
Sergeant Bradley, with Patrolmen
Gates and e. j. Reilly, made an early
visit to Morris Cover yesterday morn
ing in quest of liquor, which they had
been informed had been taken to two of
the restaurants during the night
Townsend avenue was deserted, for
the earliest riser at the popular re-
sort had not awakened from his morn
ing slumber. "Old SOP himself was
just peeping above the horizon but the
officers had the remembrance Of the
unsuccessful pursuit Of the week be-
fore to urge them on. Armed with a
search warrant for Viii lam p. Nugent' 5
place of business they followed the clue
relentlessly, Upon entering the restau-
rant quantity of beer was found. The
amount was enough to indicate the
prospect of considerable trade. One OF
the officers was left in charge OF the
captured liquor while the sergeant and
the other officer went in quest of more
liquor. At John S. TerrelPs another lot
of beer was found. The other patrol
man was put in charge of this, and the
sergeant returned to the Pequot house
where he telephoned to the Smedley
company Of this city for truck to con-
vey the beer to New Haven.
The total amount confiscated was
about forty eight dozen bottles and
three kegs of beer.
1t was taken to the central police
station, which had the appearance Of
we'll stocked saloon.
The owners Of the liquor will be
arraigned to-day in the city court for
selling liquor without a license. A beer
keg with quart bottle of rather weak
looking whiskey standing upon the
floor fianked the cases of beer in the
afternoon. This was the result OF
raid made by Patrolmen Lindsey and
Ward of the Grand avenue precinct
This time the Kitchen bar" in the
residence of Mary Falsey who runs a
saloon at Ill Grand avenue. The
| liquor was found in a room In the liv-
| ing apartments of the house.
Howard avenue precinct, though not
as successful in point of numbers OF
raids made, has two to It's cred1t.
George Frank, who once ran the Ger
mania house on Union street but who
had good reasons for decamping to an
other part of the city, has of late run
confectionery and general notion
store in Congress avenue near the West
river. For some time the police have
| had cause to suspect that liquids be-
sides the soft drinks" were being dis
| pensed at the confectionery stand and
| as a result of this feeling raid was
made yesterday by Patrolmen Cooney
and Marlowe.
| About two and one-half dozen bot
| ties of beer soon Increased the stock at
| the police station.
| Bridget Havey runs little stand at
| 20 Vine street and takes in an odd
penny from the denizens of that Sc
questered neighborhood by the It'd
bits she sells. 1t is an innocent look
! ing place. but somehow it came to the
| ears of the authorities that confection-
cry was not all that Bridget sold her
customers. Pickering, Marlowe and
Cooney, patrolnen from the Howard
avenue precinct, were sent to investi-
gate.
| 1t was not many minutes before an
other consignment of beer was en- route
| to headquarters.
| The police have had but few more
successful days as to the amount of
| liquor captured than yesterday. The
! east shore confiScations were the
greatest The Savin Rock proprietors
are quietly enjoying the perplexities Of
their neighbors across the harbor, who
have long pointed at them with de-
rision.
