Federal Judge Issues Re straining Order Against
 Enforcing Dry Act. QUESTION WILL BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Providence, R. l., Nov. 12-Judge Arthur L. Brown in the federal dis trict court today. issued a temporary injunction against Harvey 4. Baker, United States attorney and George F. ShaGnessy, collector of internal rev enue, restraining them from enforc- ing the provisions of the war time prohibition act. The injunction was issued upon the petition of the Mar ragansett Brewing Go. The sale of four per cent. beer was immediately resumed by Providence liquor deal CTS.
 The court in handing down its de- cision said:
 Tn view of the probability that the act in question will ultimately be held unconstitutional and of the ir- reparabIe damage that would result from it's immediate enforcement, and as, in view of the evidence afforded by the presidential proclamations and other circumstances, it's immediate enforcement is not imperative, am convinced that the plaintiffs right to a preliminary injunction is cIear.'

DARING BREAK NETS ROBBERS
 COODLY HAUL
Loot Main Street Shop of Goods Valued At
 $7,0OO.

One of the most daring robberies which has occurred in Bridgeport for some time took place last night, when thieves entered the American-French shop at 1,511 Main street, and made off with furs, coats and women's dresses valued in all at $7,oO0.
 The burglars gained entrance to the store by smashing out a window in the rear door, and climbing through the frame. The door was securely fastened with padlochs, and the thieves, unable to force this barrier, passed their booty through the nar- row window. It is evident that the midnight visitors took their time in cleaning out the store and making off with the stolen goods
 The 'sbreak" was first discovered by Patrolman Thomas McNamara, about |4 o'clock this morning. TT officer imm ediately notified police headquar- ters, and although a thorough search was made at once no trace of the thieves could be secured.

LIQUOR DEALERS TAKING CHANCE
 SEEK LICENSES
To Apply to Commissioners Despite Dry Law
 Enforcement.

Despite the fact that nation wide prohibition is looming up only a short time in the future, 20 liquor dealers of this city have displayed their will ingness to take a chance by filing ap- plications for renewals of licenses. The county commissioners stated to- day that they have received only 20 applications so far.
 That is far below the number usually on file at this time of year. There were over 300 licenses issued in this city for the last license year, which expires December 15.
 Applications for renewals may be filed November 1 and must be recetv- ed before December Is. Usually there is a rush on the first day to file ap- plications but this year a record was established when not one application was filed or November 1.
 The new license year for other towns and cities in the county started November 1 and 210 dealers have paid for renewals. They will get a rebate for the months they cannot use the license, although there is con- siderable red tape attached to the process of recovering the money.

HALF MILLION IN WAGE INCREASES
 HANG ON ELECTION
Wilson Within 24 Hours Gives Direction for S2O9,00O To Go To Teachers and S13O,OOO To Bremen - Police men Coming Next.

When the Board of Fire Commissioners meet next Wednesday night Mayor Cliff ford B. Wilson is expected to appear before them and re- commend an increase of pay amounting to 25 per cent for every member of the depart ment- A similar course will probably be pursued in con- nection with the Police Com missioner's meeting on Satur- day night.
 While the mayor refuses to com ment on the situation and has nothing to say 1t is known that these men were promised a raise before election and in all probability it will be the same as that recommended for the school teachers at the meeting of the Board of Education on Monday night
 Promotions in both the police and fire departments are known to have been promised and while 1t is not be- ieved that the Police Commissioners will act until after this month and probably not until just before Christ mas the Fire Commissioners may act next Wednesday night.
 A new leutenancy is to be created known as the "com bustib depart ment and a man from the ranks will be given the appointment as a lieu tenant.
 A 25 per cent increase to school teachers will cost more than S209,- 900. The same increase to hremen and policemen will cost about s260,- 900 per annum for both.
 To make good the political prom ises which went into the last election will cost the taxpayers close to half a million dollars, and perhaps more, If 1t appears that other groups were in the arrangement.

All persons interfering with production in the mines are to be ar rested and kept under guard until the operators and miners reach an agreement in their dispute over wages.
 Adjutant General Frazer was in structed to call all men of the state between the ages of IS and 45 that he deemed necessary to control the situation and carry out the provisions of the proclamation.
