SLOT MACHINE RAID THROUGH
 CONNECTICUT VILLAGES
State Police Swept Through DayviIIe and Vicinity to Central Village and Moosup.

The village of Moosup and others in that vicinity were all excitement Monday over an unexpected visit of squad of the state police, who made a wholesale swoop on the keepers of places where slot machines were known to Joe in operation.
 The party, five in number, travelled in automobiles, with chauffeurs, and evidently had the field well laid out in advance. They left Putnam in the early hours of the day and made a clean sweep down through the villages of Attawaugan, Ballouville, Williams vile, Dayville, Danielson, Wauregan, Central Village, Plainfield, Moosup, Sterling and Oneco: The party arrived at Moosup about noon, and made a sweep of the village, with but the exception of one poolroom, where the proprietor apparently had closed up for the day.
 It appeared that the officers were satisfied that the place contained the articles they were looking for, so a watch was immediately placed upon the entrance and maintained until about g o'clock in the evening when the proprietor arrived and the seizure of three machines was made,
 The machines, which filled two au- tomobiles, were taken to Central ViI- lage, where they were placed in the custody of Fred W. Mitchell, a town constable, there to remain. to be re- claimed at the trials, or ordered con- fiscated by the courts.
 The height of excitement prevailed during the proceedings, and scores of the villagers stood their ground for hours that they might no miss any part of the movements of the police squad,
