LAWYER-PRESIDENT OF
UNIVERSITY CLUB UNDER
ARREST in LIQUOR CASE
Club is Alleged to Have Violated Excise Law
in Dispensing Liquor to Members

Attorney Sanford Stoddard, presi-
dent of the University club, one of
the leading organizations of Bridge
port clubdom, was arrested in the city
court today charged with violation OF
the excise laws In connection with the
dispensing of liquor at the University
club, which has no license.
The arrest of Attorney Stoddard fol-
lowed a raid upon the club at its
handsomely appointed quarters, Cold
en- Hill, yesterday afternoon. Police
Sergeant Blansf1eld and Liquor Agent
Wagner armed with a search warrant
authorizing them to smash down
doors if their entrance was opposed
went there expecting to find the usual
gathering of members. But when
they got to the club they found. much
to their surprise, that there wasn't a
single member on hand.
Liquor Prosecutor Greenstein who
sent the policemen on the raid, in
structed them not to arrest any OF
the help but rather to await the ap-
pearanoe Of an officer OF the club.
The police took a couple Of bottles
of liquor. as evidence, and returned
to headquarters.
The raid upon the University club
occurred about o'clock. 1t was the
expectation Of the authorities who are
somewhat familiar with the customs
of the club to find fully dozen MEM
bers. Greenstein was somewhat taken
back when he learned that only a
waiter could be found. But he bid
ed his time, and today when Stoddard
publicly stated in the city court that
he was the president of the raided
club he drew the warrants for Stod-
dards arrest.
Following the raid conference of
club members was held last night. At
torney Stoddard appeared in court this
forenoon in the interests Of the club.
There had been no arrest made, but
1t was expected that such a step
would be taken, and Stoddard was at
hand to look out for the interests of
the officers and members.
Judge Foster sat on the bench
Judge Wilder was scheduled to sit to-
day, but in view of the fact that
Judge Foster has passed upon the re-
cent cases in which the question OF
the rights of clubs is involved he
telephoned Judge Foster early today
asking him to sit upon the liquor
cases. Judge Foster consented, and
Judge Wilder appeared when the IL
quor cases had been disposed of.
Attorney Stoddard addressed Judge
Foster promptly upon the opening OF
court He raised the claim that there
was no violation of the law at the
University club, that there was nc
profit derived from sales.
Have you a case against the Uni
versity club?" asked Judge Foster.
st have a case against an officer
of the club" replied Greenstein.
Judge Foster announced that he was
member of the club. He said he
would not act in the case if either
Attorney Stoddard or Prosecutor
Greenstein objected. Both attorneys
expressed their satisfaction with Judge
Foster.
Judge Foster asked Attorney Green

with them in the directorate are as
sociated a number of men such as
Charles H. Armstrong of the Arm
strong Manufacturing company and
other prominent manufacturers.
The Artistic Bronze company man
ufactures cast brass and bronze fur
niture trimmings and builders hard
ware, and is the only concern in the
world of it's kind that makes both
these lines. It's specialties are bar
sash lifts. door handles, and glass
knobs. It has very large and rapid
ly growing clientele among the big
gest jobbers in the country and a
very prosperous future before it. IT
has already made a name for itself
because of the unfailingly high quail
ity of it's work.
DR.. Wright has held the position
of president since the formation of
the company but he leaves the active
management to his son, William Win
throp Wright, who is Hotchkiss
school graduate and has proved him
self to be possessed of excellent busi-
ness acumen and enterprise. He is
a member of the Yacht club and
Country club. The Shaw brothers,
who are officers of the concern are
among the most prominent socially in
the town Of Larchmont, and will fig
ure in the social life of Bridgeport.
Ernest G. Shaw was the guest of
honor last week at a bachelor dinner
at the Brooklawn Country club in
honor of his approaching maria ge.
He is a member of the Larchmont
Yacht club. and the owner OF a fine
yacht which will appear in Bridge
port waters when he comes here.
President Enos of the Board of
Trade considers the new concern a
splendid acquisition to the city's in
dustries, considering its present size,
its future prospects, the kind of work
in which 1t is engaged and the cali
bre of the men it brings to Bridge
port.

Greenstein said he was ready to pro-
ceed with the case at once.
But Attorney Stoddard asked for a
postponement He said there was a
question Of law involved, and he
wanted chance to prepare the case
Judge Foster indicated in address
ing the counsel that what he would
look into was the matter of profit
in the sale Of liquors.
But there is no profit objected
Stoddard
well, let's have the books of the
club showing the cost of the liquors
and the revenues from their SALE
said Greenstein.
Attorney Stoddard then said that il
was no doubt true that for the ac.
tual drink a revenue greater than its
cost was derived, but that on tht
whole the members of the club ap-
portion among themselves the cost OF
providing liquors.
Judge Foster ordered the case con-
tinued until Thursday. That day was

The raid upon the University club
yesterday was made with a search
warrant signed by Deputy Judge Will
der of the city court. The officers
had authority to force their way into
the club.
Attorney Stoddard expressed his dis
pleasure at such tactics. He told
Judge Foster it was unnecessary. The
club would have admitted just what
conditions existed If the prosecutor
had indicated his wish to know them
Sergeant Blansfeld reported to the
prosecutor that he could find only
servants in the club. Greenstein in
structed him to make no arrests
Blansfield asked for instructions as tc
what liquors should be siezed. There
was large quantity, he said, and he
didn't know how much Greensteir
wanted.
Greenstein instructed him to take
only two bottles. for evidence. He
also instructed the police to take pos

Famous Church Bill

Interference With Liberty
of the Press
Especial from United Press.)

Springfield, Ills, June 12-Illinois
newspapers appeared, today with just
as much crime news in their columns
as ever. This was permitted because
just at midnight, Governor Deneen
vetoed the now famous Church bill'
which prohibited the publication OF
crime news.
In vetoing the measure, Governor
Deneen said:
The bill seems to be altogether toe
sweeping In it's prohibition. The pub
lication of news is often an aid to
the public authorities in the detection
of crime as we'll as spur to the
exercise of their best efforts in Sc
curing the apprehension and punish
ment of offenders.
This provision Of the bill is an un-
warranted interference with the lib
erty of the press
