Even Near
 Beer Now
 Under Ban
Tightest Kind of Enforce ment Due for Prohibition
 Law.

War had been declared on drinks containing as much as one-half of one per cent of alcohol. Police Su- peT'intendent John H. Redgate this morning received a letter from Dis trfct Attorney John F. Crosby in Hartford in which the United States official asked for the most effective cooperation in immediately bringing into court anyone selling drinks con- taIning one-half of one per cent all cohol or more.
 While the prohibition law specifics one-half of one per cent as the line to be drawn between drinks that might be legally sold and those which would be unlawful, the new ruling. including the one-half of one per cent drinks indicates the tighest kind of enforcement.
 Although very few saloons in Bridgeport are open and 1t is no longer possible without much diff culty to obtain drink of anything like beer and wine, the police have been given the order to conduct the most rigid kind of an investigation and report every detail that might aid in prosecution. This information will be supplied to the United States District Attorney who will issue war rants for the appearance of dealers before Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery here.

FIRST DISTRICT CAN'T SHUT OFF
 FIRE HYDRANTS

Danger to property in the Third district of Norwalk was averted this morning by a decision of Judge Malt bic of the Superior Court who ruled that the First Taxing district should not be allowed to shut off the water in fire hydrants in the Third district. The court said, Every consideration of common sense, if not of common decency, seems to require that mat ters be held in abeyance until the court can authoritively determine the rights in the issue.''
 Several weeks ago the First dis trict threatened to have this water shut off and at that time the Third district, by City Clerk Irving C.. Rob- ertson, acting as a resident of that district secured an injunction restrain ing the threatened action. There upon the First district made a mo- ton to have the injunction dissolved and 1t was upon that motion that Judge Maltbie gave his decision.
 The First district made the threat to shut off the water because of a dispute about a water bill amounting to about s1.000. which the Third re- fused to pay.

LEWIS l E: THINKS
 RE WILL WIN
 FR0M BRITT0N

So confident Is Charley Harvey that Ted Lewis will whip Jack Brit ton decisfvely when they meet in Jer- sey City on Monday night that he has accepted the offer to go to London to fiSht Johnny Basham. Harvey is confident not only of a victory over Britton but an easier success over
 Basham. and In consequence he fears no English referee. Harvey knows that no American champion or chal- lenger yet has earned 3, decision on points over an English fighter in an English ring. Yet he does not enter tain any fears with regard to Lewis's success. The fact Is that if Lewis goes over he will have a lot to gain and very little to lose. There is only one chance in thousand that Ba- sham woul1 stop him in a twenty round fight, and there is considerable chance that Lewis will knock out the British titleholder. With Basham's scalp dangling from his belt Lewis could force Brtton to put his worlds title at stake in a. fight to a referees decision. And if such a fight is held we believe that Lewis will get his title back.
 Mention of Britton's name brings up the proposition, which has gained SUD- port in many quarters, to place an age limit of 35 years on men in the ring.
 Britton is 37 years old and under such a rule would have been barresdl out of the ring two years before he reached the top of his form and attained the worlds welterweight title. Bob Fitz- simmons was 35 years old when he wrested the heavyweight tile from Jim Corbett, 37 when fought Jim Jeffries the first time and in his fortieth year when he tackled Jeffries the second time. Even in their second meeting FitZsimmons put up a great fight and might have won but for his brittle hands. There have been other good fighters beyond the age of 35 Just because Willard at 37 proved a huge is no ground for plac- ing the ban every other fighter of that age The public should judge each case for itself. It is safe to say it will not be buncomibed by another In England they have quite a number of fighters who are older than 35. Fancy Lee, the featheweight champion, is 39. and Jem DriscoI has reentered the ring at that age.
