FIGHT TO PREVENT SALE Ol WHISKEY BEGINS AS LOCAL SALOONS CLOSl
EXPLAINS SHOOTING
 AFFRAY IN IRELAND Inquest Held Over Body of Lieutenant Boast Killed
 Near Dublin.

Dublin, Dec. 29.-Details of Sun days shooting affray near the Vice Regal lodge in Phoenix park were given today at the inquest over the body of Lieut.. Boast, an officer of the guard who was killed at the same time that a civilian found in the park was shot. The firing led to the be- lief in some quarters last night that an attack was being made against the lodge, the residence of Lord French, the ,viceroy, whose life was attempted last week.
 Evidence given at the inquest today by two soldiers of the guard showed that at o'clock on Sunday morning they, with Lieut.. Boast left the Vice Regal lodge and went on patrol down the road, where they saw a man crossing the grass. When they chal- 1enged the man he refused to reply to them and they rushed him. Shots were fired and the lieutenant col lapsed. ..
 Fire at Civilians.
 The corporal Of the guard, it was testified, fired at the civilian who fell. The soldiers swore they saw six civilians who fired the shots that brought down the lieutenant They 1lred at the ClN1l1anS, put the laLJef isappeared.
 The dead civilian was identified as baker's laborer, Laurence Kennedy by name, who lived in Lucan.
 Before the inquest it was said that Kennedy was a discharged soldier who on Saturday night had left Steev- ans hospital where lie had received treatment for injuries which he de- clared he had sustained from some soldiers in the Dublin barracks.
 Accidentally Killed.

Boast, the officer of the guard who met death in Sunday nights shooting affray near the Vice Regal lodges s4, '1o,4oa14ix so.lrh, was 'acci- dentally killed by a bullet from his own patrol party it was found by the jury at the inquest into the lieu tenants death held today. ..- The verdict of the jury in the eases of Laurence Kennedy, the civilian victim of the shooting, was as fol- lows: "'The deceased was killed on his way home through Phoenix park by a military patrol.

INCREASED BUDGET
 FOR CHARITY DEPT.
Superintendent Says More Money Will Be Needed
 For Next Year.

While the fiscal year for the Char ity Board does not end until March 1. 1920, Superintendent Fred A Mur- phy of that commission anticipates very little change in the number of charities and clients who will have applied by that time, as compared With last year. Owing to the ever increasing cost of living, the cost of conducting that department has been much more than in the past and. in order to conduct it along the exten- s:ve lines of other years, larger budget will have to be prepared this year. 0.s..t .4 .-.
 In November 1918 the costs for groceries etc., used was s66A and in the corresponding month of 1919 an increase of s327.61 or a total of s9oi.61 was noted. In November 1918 80 applicants were taken care of by this comm ission and in the cores bonding month Of this year S4 ap- piled for assistance. Unlike the last year, neither tho war nor epidemics had much effect upon the charities. In 1918 many secured profitable en- ploJ1ne1lt in factories and for a while charities dropped off. Soon afterward the influenza epidemic broke out and the ben eft gained by war work was offset through the number needing assista aGo during that period Of sick ness. Many widows and dependents have applied recently for aid having spent the last of insurance and other benefit moneys received through be- reayemenf

NEW DIRECTORY ESTIMATE C77Y,S
 PRESENT POPULATION AT ABOUT 5Z Z895
Postal Authorities Put Approximate Figure at 6OOOO, Yet For the Draft the overnnent Decided More Than 10000 Was Fair Bass So Just How Many People Live Here is Gu ite Mysterious Mystery

New Britain people will anxiously await the report of the coming na- tional census to be taken here, to find authoritatively and exactly what the cording to the 1919-132O city direc- tory issued today by Price, Lee & company, the estimated population is but 57,S95 This figure seems aIb- surdly low, yet is obtained by the usual formula of multiplying the number of names in the directory, which is 25,731, by two and d quar- ter. In an effort to get another angle on the estimated population, the post al authorities were asked for their opinion and it was learned that the department estimates it at 60,0OO. When it is taken into consideration that the city has grown much during the past few years, and also the fact that for the army draft the govern ment estimated the ciy's population at more than 10000, 1t might be reasonable to assume that there are really more than 57,000 Or 60,O00 souls living here.
 In the 1918-1e19 directory there were 24,ss2 names, including 627 re- movals. Tn making up the present directory 3.047 names were erased and 3,923 names were added, making 8 total mum Der cf names, 26,731 which.

RECAPTURE THREE
 OF FOUR RUNAWAYS
Meridcn Policemen Take Men Who Escaped From State Prison
 One Still at Large.

Wethers1ield, Dec. 29.-Three of the four prisoners who escaped from the state prison were in their cells today after an early morning trip from Meri- den where they were captured by three Meriden policemen John Ricklefeis, the fourth convict, was still at large. Eight armed guards brought the three men back from Meriden. It is expect ed that Warden McClaughry will or der an investigation of the escape of the four prisoners, one of whom, Charles Dewey, has gained a, reputa- tion as a difficult man to keep in pris- on. He escaped from the prison in 1913 in packing case and was brought back in 1915 after ile was To- cated in prison at Columbus, o. Ed ward Slattery, life prisoner from Bridgeport, and Frank Land, a New London burglar, are the others of the quartet that escaped.

including 563 removals, makes an in- crease of S49 names Since these added names represent in almost every instance only the male head of the family and adults, it is evident that there are between 1,5OO and 2,O0O new residents in the city. In compil ing this years directory it was neces- sary to make 10,006 changes and 2,446 changes or address. This last item may tend to throw some light on the tenement situation and the number of people compelled to seek new tenements owing to the high cost of living, their tenements being sold etc.
 Another interesting comparative item in the directory is that which shows that fewer people left New Britain during the rast year than dur ing the preceding one. Last year only 563 removals were listed while the year previous saw 627 removals. This but reflects the satisfactory conditions existing here.
 The 1919-1920 directory contains an one of faadvertisers. Likewise it con- tains an alphabetical list of residents and also an alphabetical list of streets and the families living thereon. Tn this list is included the nmes of fam flies having telephones. The remain der of the directory is given over to izations, civic bodies, etc., in the city al rules, information concerning the number of churches, fraternal organ iZatios, civic bodies, etc, in the city

 Gould Not Recognize >Plebiscite.
 For this reason, the plebiscite at Hume could not be recognized by Italy, he said, because it was con- trary to the pact of London, nor could Italy proclaim annexation of Plume because the Allies would neither have permitted nor acknowl- edged it.
 "Anglo-American commerce." he declared, needed Plume as a port of penetration into central Europe. pre- fering to have it in the hands of a small country rather than under the control of great power. This plan was backed by the peace conference which was favorable to the Sla.v peoples wishing them to form a. bar rler against resurrection of Germany.

JAMAICA GIN GER AND
 CIDER MAKE HIGHBALL

Plainville, Dec. PA local resident with a thirst enriched and cultivated by 20 years at tcntion, visited a local store last evening and purchased a drink of cider. He smacked his lips and left. Fifteen minutes later he was back. This time he } smacked his lips twice. When he returned for third time the clerk watched him in the mir TOT. Stealthily he took from an inside pocket a little vial and emptied some of the contents into the glass of cider. Later, when queried, he gave the con fidcnt.al information that the vial contained Jamaica ginger and mixed with cider makes a pretty snappy drink, b'gosh.'
