MAY MAKE ANY KIND OF LIQUOR
 IN 0jNN HONIE
Judge Young of Stamford Acquits 2 Under This
 Ruling.

Stamford, Dec. S1-A person has a right to make any kind of mixture he desires for his personal use, Judge Samuel Young said in the police court today in acquitting Andrew Kosin and Felix Duomagla on the charge of manufa curing deleterious liquors. The court held that under the law it is within personal right to make liquors or any connection provided there is no intent to sell the same.
 It was alleged that whtskey was found in these mems houses which they had made. They did not deny making a, mixture, and samples were sent to a chemist for analysis. He reported that the mixture was 50 per cent grain alcohol to which had been added water, forma1dehyde, fuse1 oil and a colortng. There was no trace of wood alcohol. The grain alcohol had been medicated at a pharmacy. The men made up a concoction as a treat at Christmas for friends. They said there was no intent to sell any of it,

sJitneyIlen Are Not To
 Receive 3 Days Grace
CROWDS BEsIEGE POLICE HEADQUARTERS THIs MORNING TO GET NEW
 MARKERS FOR 1920

Orders issued by Superintendent of Police John H. Redgate, allowing au- tomobiie owners three days grace in which to secure their 1920 markers, struck an unexpected snag this morn ing, when it was announced at the Of fee of the Motor Vehicle department that all jitneymen who operate with 1919 markers after midnight toni ght will be arrested.
 This order was sent out from head. quarters in Hartford, and is now in the hands of every state inspector. Unless the ruling Is rescinded before tomorrow, jttneymen operating under old licenses will be liable to arrest. It Is not believed that this order will also apply to peasure car and motor truck owners who will be extended the three days courtesy.
 On account of the new bond ruling, which provides that every jitney driver shall furnish 8 prescribed bond on January l, it is probable that the Hartford order will be rigidly en- forced. According to latest advices, the Hartford authorities are deter mined to allow no jitney to operate after today unless the required bond has been posted.

MAY NOT RATIFY
 JAN.0
Complications Develop ing Which May Again
 Cause Postp0nement.
STLECIANS WILL
 HOLD PLEBTSCTTE

Paris, Dec. 31.--Although the Supreme Council today fixed January 6 as the date for signing the protocol and exchanging notifications of the German peace treaty, complications are develop ing which, it is thought by some person in council cir cles, may again cause the postponement of the cere- mony of putting the treaty into effect.
 It has developed that the German technical delegates, who are here to to multitude of details con nected with the pIebiscites to be held in territories which must decide whether they desire to be detached from Germany, do not appear to have full power to act. The signing of the protocol on January s, therefore. may depend upon whether the Germans can secure those powers immediately in order to complete the arrangements which 1t Is thought in council circles ought to pTecede the exchange of rat ificattons.
 The council today agreed upon the reply to be made to the note of the Swiss government applying for Swttz-
