Consternation reigned among the employees of the Hotel Stratfield today Iwfen Detective Sergeant Cronan of the Bridgeport police department took Unto custody Arthur B. Wollny, chief bell hop of the hostelry. on warrant charging the bellboy with being a fu- Fgitive from justice
 The detective entered the hotel at |a dramatic moment. The bellboys had just finished reading every line of the Jackson murder stories and were |1n the midst of animated conversation las to how bravely Bellboy Paul Geidel |would march to the electric chair, when the sleuth came in and told |Wollny to get out of his uniform. It developed that Wollny is not |wanted for any part of the Jackson charge of neglecting to support his lawful wife. None of his |felIcws knew he was a benedict, for phe is not yet 21, and his boyish fea-
 lures bear none of the lines of care hnd worriment that proverbially be- speak the married man.
 wollny is not only married, but is suing for divorce. His romance dates back we'll into 1910. He was In love with pretty Fairfield girl, Mary Cavanaugh, and in an idle mo-
 ment he talked to her of a wedding ring, a little flat and of his getting a better job Mary thought we'll of the scheme. but later he changed his mind. She was not so ffclxle, how-I ever, and in order to emphasize her devotion to the bellboy, she insisted l hat he should not abandon the mat l Efmonial plans.

 tion
 'tDisreputablei' exclaimed Judge Foster, as he summed up the descrip- tion of the environments and meth ods of the clubmen. He said, how ever, that he wasn't satisfied that there was an actual sale of liquor on Sunday, and after applying this strong characterization to the club methods, he ordered the men held in the same bail until Monday.
 Prosecuting Attorney A. l.. Delaney acted in the absence of the appoint ment by the county commissioners of liquor agent for the west side of the Pequonnock river Attorney F. B. F,allon appeared for the accused. There were nine prisoners, John n. Kelly, of Parallel street, charged with being the proprietor of place where liquor is unlawfully dispensed, and the eight others held as frequenters of such a place.
 Sergeant Hazel, Liquor Agent Wag- ner and Patrolman Holbrook describ- ed the conditions of the club quar- ters. The front room is an aban- doned tailor shop, and in the rear is a three room tenement. The club uses these three rooms on Sundays.
 Kelly said that until Judge Foster made decision which led them to be- lieve they had no right to sell houor hn o111h to pay as they went, buying such Ii- | luor from the general store maintain l ed by the club, as they wished
 But when they regarded this as | coming, under the ban of the city court, they gave up that practice, and | adopted new methods. About the same time the Long Acre Social club icense was given up.

 Kelly and "Conny'' Lewis. the well nown bowler, who just missed being
