DAeENIAs DENIES PROFITS.
Claims What He Collected On Seized Liquors Above Selling Price Was Express Charges.

There was practically an all day session Of the town court Wednes- day, when the much heralded hearing on the first load of liquors seized from Eli DageniaS, June .19, was held. Many of the witnesses were persons to whom the seized liquors were con signed on order.
 The chief point made by Prosecut- ing Attorney A. G. Bill, in the opinion Of number who closely followed the testimony, was that MT. Dagenias, while admitting that he received more from his customers than he paid to the dealers from whom he purchased the liquors seized to fill orders and that the difference between the price he paid and the price he received rep resented express charges for making the deliveries from Putnam to Dan ielSon. did not so state to the persons giving the orders. The state claims therefore, that sDagenias filled the orders at profit MT. Dagenias con- tends that there was no profit on the orders; that his profits are merely ex- press charges.
 The hearing was really relative to what should be done with the Iiouors seized. MT. Dagenias claimed a few bottles of beer as his personal prop erty- While a number of Dersons whose ordered Qiquor was In the Iot seized were inscourt as witnesses. thew made no clatn6or khe liquorsconsigned to them

said she was married to Cote about ten years ago.
 When Cote was placed upon the witness stand he admitted having left his wife three months. claiming that she told him to go. He said he had she did not deny in court. Asked if he were willing to return to his home and support his wife and child, Cote promptly and willingly replied in the affirmative.
 Mrs. Cote insisted. however. that she did not want him back; neither did she want him to pay any more for the support of herself and child. She did want him sent to jail. Cote's willingness to fulfill all of his obhga- tions lined up opposite. Mrs. Cote's ideas of what she wanted done after causing her husbands arrest for non- support, was a novel situation for the court to pass upon.
 Finally Cote was given an oppo-- tunfty to go to jail for 30 days and be freed from the non-support charge or to pay $2 week toward the support of the child. He elected to pay and gave $100 bond to do so. Then Mrs. Cote protested. after having declared she did not want any money, that the sum decided upon was too small. The court didn't make any changes
 New Traffic Rules Adjusted.
 At the monthly meeting of the com mon council the new rules governing traffic were adopted, most of these being based upon statute law Another important action taken by the council was the adoption of the recommendation made by the police committee for a police telephone sys- tenn. Three of these electrically light ed signal stations are to be installed -one at the Central fire station, one at the junction of Elm and Bridge street, the other at corner of Provi- dence and Church streets. These sta- tions are to consist of regular tele- phone instruments locked in cases to which the officers will have keys. Over each station at a height of about IF feet will be a red electric light. which will flash notice to the police of calls at the box. Any person ryho desires police officer simply calls the telephone operator, who presses a, hut ton that will cause the red lamps to glow and attract the attention of the guardian of the law. The rental of these stations will cost the city s2s each per annum. Watchman's clocks are also to be placed at the same points as the stations, these to be punched regularly by the officers on patrol.
