 | the Hoxie house, Mystic. Calxite Du- | fresne, proprietor. was before Justice
 l Byron F. Peckham. in Rawcatuck, on 1 Thursday There was no claimant of i the seized liquors. After hearing Ale testimony Justice Peckham declared 1 that the liquors were kept for sale 1 contrary to law and that tics- were 1 therefore confiscated to the = e. He 1 issued order to State PoIicema.i Rudd | to destroy the liquors and vessels, and l to make return {se law requires. l The next step will b. the prosecution | of Nr. Dufresne for having the liquors 1 in his possession for illegal purposes. l There is probability of the arrest and prosecution of the officers of the 1 Pawcatuck Workingmen's club. based i on the sworn testimony given in the 1 Stonington town court. when another | case was under consideration. The | testimony was in effect that the wit l nesses bought and drank intoxicating l drinks at this club quarters in Paw ! catuck. When the state police raided ] the premises no liquors were found. Merrill Post. Westerly, American l Legion in common with like organiza- lions in Rhode Island, is engaged in 1 the special drive to bring the mem bership up to 10000 in the state.

At the annual convention of the su- Scottish Rites. now in session at Phil adelphia. George H. Holmes was elected deputy and William L. Sweet active thirty third degree member for Rhode Island.

 Judge John w. Sweeney of Wester- iy has been elected a member of the reception committee to tender the off cial hospitality of Rhode Island to Cardinal Mercier, of Belgium, when he visits Providence. Sept. 20. Gov ernor Beeckn1an is chairman of all committees.
 A jitney bus operator, resident of Connecticut, who was operating io Westerly under a Rhode Island ID cense. has had his license suspended in Rhode Island by reason of violating the automobile laws in the town of Connecticut authorities This is in conformity with esta blished inter change between the states. This same operator. when notified that he could told Chief Brown that he was running his bus under his Connecticut li- cenSe. Seems queer that Connecticut would request Rhode Island to revoke the license. and still permit the often- der to operate under a Connecticut li- cense.
