Police Stool Loses Memory
 On The Stand

Fines amounting to $350 and a To-day jail sentence were imposed on three liquor law violators, by Judge Frank l.. Wilder, in the City court urday night when the police searched their places of business.
 Alex Rulof. of Al Willard street, paid fines and was sentenced to jail on two counts. Ru1of's establishment was searched by Patrolmen Sheridan and Devine, Saturday night, and a quantity of liquor was seized. The proprietor resisted and attempted to break away from them.

 Angelo Catul1o, of 555 Harral ave nue, claimed that wine which was was being used merely in celebration of his sons birthday, and was not for sale publicly. The concoction seemed to be a mixture of grape wine purchased by two policemen for 1C cents. Catullo was fined $50 and costs.
 In an attempt to "get the goods on Frank Brunette, of 232 North Washington avenue, Patrolman Brol- ley and Foster, of the Bureau of h. vestigation and Missing Persons, used Richard Jones, colored. as plant
 
 that they had received numerous complaints against Brunetto'S place. but several searching parties had failed to discover any whiskey in the saloon.
 On Saturday night, Brolley and Foster met Jones in Housa.tonic ave nue, and after giving him $1.75 in marked money, asked him to get them some ttbooze." Jones went into Brunetto's cafe, and came out in about five minutes with half pint of liquor composed mostly of pure alco-s hol. The officers then entered the place and conducted 8 search of the premises. They were unable to find any trace of liquor. The marked bill, however, was found in the cash register.
 When he took the witness stand this morning, Jones suffered a sud den lapse of memory.

Dazed Hero Going! Back
 To Hospital

\ Tn the ante-room of the rooms of the board of charities at the Public Welfare building this morning Jim saie Minnier, aged 26, sat and waited for the man who was to escort him to Middletown. He was right glad to know that he was going back that is, glad as he able to compre- bend, for he has reached the state of mind where he has almost passed the ability of comprehension.
 Jimmie Minnier is a veteran of the world war. He did 1 8 months ser- vice overseas, a good bit of that hitch being done at the ration dump just outside of Montfaucon, spot which the German summers made their especial target for weeks. A week ago he wandered away from the Middletown institution and for a week he has gone about unshe1tered and uncared for.
 Today he drifted to the Red Cross. remembering in his dazed way that the Red Cross had been good to him before. Tonight he will be back at Middletown, just one of the thousands of boys who are slowly but surely which set into them so deep that there is no chance of their ever be- coming normal again.
 Jimmie Minnier's case is one like charged as being in good physical condition on July 16, 1919, only to later break down as the result of ex- pdsure and shock received lover there." He was drafted into the army on May 24, 1918, at Providence, R. T., and was assigned to Salvage Unit No. 3o5. After his discharge he was returned to the Marine hospital at Staten Island on May 2, 1920, where he stayed until July 8.
 Assistant Supt. of Charities Nor rissey had Jimmie in hand and was doing all that 8 big-hearted man could do to make him comfortable. Truly, Christmas holds little this year for Jimmie Minnier, veteran.

In this city the general registrars are appointed by the mayor, while in New Haven and other cities in the state they are elected at the polls. In those other cities the position carries with 1t the leadership of the party which nominateS them.
 A the meeting of the ordinance committee last night William LounS- bury, the Republican general regis trar, advocated a petition for an ordi- nance which would increase the sal aries of the general registrars from $1.S00 to S2,500 a year and the right of each general registrar to appoint two deputies at a salary of $1,800 each and two girls with salaries of S1.2O0 and 1,OS0 a year.
 At present the general registrars, besides their salaries of S1,800, re- ceive SLIPS each for preparing the personal tax list and S170 each for preparing the primary list. These three salaries amount to S3,05. If the ordinance committee has an ordi- nance passed granting the increase petitioned, each general registrar will receive s3,795 a year.
 There are now two assistants, John M Donnelly and Robert FitzRoy, who receive S400 for work in and be- proposed ordinance would do away with these positions and create four assistants with a salary of S1,800 each.
 As the registrars have charge of the compiling of the primary and election lists and they are ap- pointed by the mayor, the increased force would be no small cog in the mayors machine.
