SALOONS REOPEN BUT . NO REAL BEER SOLD
"Only Near-Beer," Head of
 Liquor Dealers Associa- tiOn Explains.

Because. they claim, the request of District Attorney Hugh Alcorn was disregarded in other cities throughout the state and New Britain was the only city in which the regulations were being lived up to, local saloon- keepers have decided to fall in line and also lay aside the request of the attorney. Today practically every sa- loon in the city opened it's doors for the sale of near-beer, cider, butter milk and soft beverages.
 President A. E. Monsees of the New Britain branch of the Retail Liquor Dealers association spoke for the New Britain saloonkeeperS in defense of their decision to reopen. Mir. Mon sees cited the cases of Hartford, Bris- tol and other cities in which the order was never in force. He said that New Britain had been free from wood all cohol poisoning cases as far as local sales were concerned. Investigation of many reports has proved nothing that would indicate New Britain sa- loonkeepers were handling whiskey, he said, and because of that fact they should not be penalized by having their doors closed.
 When the closing order was re- ceived here in the early part of the week, Chief William J. Rawlings of the police department detailed Ser geant Theodore Johnson to the vari- ous cafes to make known the desire of the District Attorney. His demand was received without objection on the part of the cafe owners. but as subse- quent shipments of beer arrived the dealers were anxious to reopen their places to dispose of the drink they had contracted for. This and the fact that other ciieS were continuing to run cafes while New Britain dealers were closed was responsible for the reopening.

SWEDISH OUTBREAKS
 TO MEED ON JAN. 14
Recommendations to Change Name of Church and Services to
 Be Made

Probable changes in the name and form of services will be in the rec concentrations to be presented to the board of the Swedish Lutheran church Of this city at it's annual meet ing January 14th for the election of officers and other routine business. Rev. $. c. Ohman, pastor of the church, said today that the new name of the church will probably be the First Lutheran Church of New Britain, as it is the first and the old est Swedish Lutheran church in the city.
 Rev. Ohman decried the fact that there is so little of English in the usual Swedish church service today and duc to the fact that the younger element of the church are demanding the use oi English in the service. a probable change in this respect will also be recommended at the meeting. If the motion is put through there will be a service in English begin- ming at 9:30 o'clock in the morning for those who desire the English form and another service at 1O:43 d. m for those who wish the Swedish form Of service. This change is absolutely necessary. ReE. Ohman says if the younger element in the church are to be held.
 This move on tho part of Rev. Oh man is in line with movement among other Swedish churches throughout the country to introduce services in English into the churches. due principally to the fact that the Swedish children are not learning the Swedish language to the extent that they can appreciate or understand the sermons under the present system. The churches rather than the younger element are adopting new measures which are calculated to save the sit nation.
