 What purports to be an authentic account of the incident in the allied council upon which Premier Lloyd George based his recent statement that former emperor William would be tried in London has become avail able from a usually reliable source. It is stated that at a meeting of the council last week the British preIniex said to his fellow coEferees somethihe as follows: t3

With an estimated income of $40,OOO less than last year. due to the enforcement of prohibition the board laid a tax in all districts making reductions up to 1-2 mills.

Stephen Nriniry. a saloon keeper of Meriden, who was arrested late last night charged with violation of the war time prohibition law. was selected as the one whose arrest should serve as a possible test case in the Cnited States district court in a prosecution of an alleged violation. There are six local cases of like nature pending, 'saloonkecpers having been held for this court by federal commissioners. In Miniry's case. however, the arrest appears to have been brought about specifically.
