District Attorney Outlines Course Of Action and Promises Speed
ARREST FIRST VIOLATOR
Will Then Draw Indictment So That Demurrer to Test COnStitutiOnality of Law Is PoSsiblc-Liquor Inter- cStS in Conference.

Hartford, June 27-It is possible that the first test case of the war pro- hibition measure will be tried in Hartford as a result of course of procedure suggested to attorneys for the liquor interests today by United States District Attorney John F.. Crosby. In letter sent to Arnon A. filling and William A. King. repre- senting Connecticut liquor dealers, he stated that violations of the law would result in prosecution; also that if the dealers should demand to file a bill in equity he would not agree to suspend prosecution, pending the de- cision on the bill nor be governed by the bill unless an injunction was se- cured. The final statement of his po- sition is that an injunction in one jurisdiction will not prevent the De- partment of Justice from making prosecutions in other jurisdictions.
 Will Hurry Test Case.
 After making this flat stand on en- forcement of the law MT. Crosby ex- presses willingness to assist in bringing a test of the law with all possible speed. He promises, upon
 
 ton, to summon a grand jury and obtain an indictment so drawn as to make possible a demurrer to test the constitutionality of the law.
 If the dealers enter a demurrer MT Crosby agrees to urge a prompt hearing and decision by the United States district court. If the dis trict judge upholds the dealers. "his ruling on the demurrer can be taken at once to the supreme court,' implying that this will be the case. He further states that if this plan of action were followed, he would "in all probability refrain from commencing other pros cautions until the initial case is de- termi ined.' However, he states, "T cannot bind myself to any given course of action in this re egard,"
 Hold Conference Today.
 MT. filling. of New Haven, said to- day that he had received the letter and would have a conference with MT. King, his associate in the case, at New Haven this afternoon This will be followed by a conference with MT. Crosby Saturday morning. Until these conferences have been held, MT. filling refused to make any statem ent He was unwilling to state whether an application for an injunction would be brought prior to prosecution, although Thomas Fitzsim mons, secretary of the Connecticut Retail Liquor Dealers association, on Thursday indicated this as the probable course of action.

DOPE DEALER GUILTY
John w. Lewis Sentenced to Atlanta
 and Fined $1,O0O-Conviction Is Expected to Aid in Stopping Sale.

Hartford, June 27.-John W. Lewis, as he was known in this state, pleaded guilty in the United States district court today to violation of the narcotic act of December IT, 1914, and was sentenced by Judge Garvin to Imprisonment in the fed- eral penitentiary at Atlanta for three years and nine months and to pay a fine of $1.000.
 Federal officials expressed the belief that the arrest and conviction of Lewis by Revenue Agent Dobbs of the New York district would prove strong deterrent to attempted dope dealing anticipated by some after July 1. Lewis had a criminal record dating back to 1895 and had four times been convicted under various aliases in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, beginning operations in this state a few months ago in Stamford

TRUMBULL ELECTRIC
 COMPANY NOT SOLD President Denies Sale to General Electric-No
 Changes Expected.
Especial to The Herald.)

Plainville, June PA report ap- bearing in a morning paper announce ing the sale of the Trumbull Electric company of this town to the General Electric company of Schenectady, N. Y., did not cause as much surprise as at first thought, for it has been a per- sistent rumor for the past few years and has even appeared in the papers that the plant would be sold.
 Local people have known for some time that the General Electric com- pany has been trying to get control of the plant but they were also aware of the fact that the negotiations were not meeting with extra speedy consum- nation results.
 The Trumbull factory is the town s largest manufacturing plant and peo- pie take a decided interest in all mat ters pertaining to it. John and Henry Trumbull are the only men of the Trumbull factory who are interested in the local business. With them Is associated Frank T. Wheeler who is interested financially as well as being an officer of the concern.
 Following is the statement as made by President John H. Trumbull:
 "Fhe statement appearing in the morning papers that the Trum bull Electric Manufacturing company has been sold to the General Electric company is without foundation
 Tt is true that negotiations have been pending whereby the General Electric company would take a stock inter est in the Trumbul Electric Man ufacturing company. Such interest, however. does not contemplate any change in the present management or policies of the Trumbull company This company will continue to oper- ate under the same officers and asso- ciates, and continue it's business poli- CieS as in the past"
