IS JAILED AND FINED
 FOR SELLING LIQUOR
Severe Penalty For Hotel Proprietor-EditOr Cited
 For Contempt.

New Haven, July 19.-Charles Ihne, who has hotel at Savin Rock and who was among those involved in recent liquor raids at the resort. was sentenced to jail for three months on each of two counts and fined $100 on each count, by Judge Charles J. Martin, in the Orange court today.
 The court proceedings have created as much interest in West Haven as the raid itself and Arthur J. Sloane. managing editor of the New Haven Journal-Courier. is supposed to ap- pear before Judge Martin this after noon to answer why he is not in con- tempt of the court for alleged inn proper comment in his newspaper on the trials of the various cases arising from the raid. It is not known whether a deputy sheriff who was given summons issued by Judge Martin had served it or not.
 In the lime case a witness who had been a waiter in hotel swore that when liquor was called for he would go upstairs and bring down a liquid which looked like tea and serve it in cups. He also said that Willie lime. a brother, assisted in manag- ing the hotel. On the evidence Will lie lime was charged with liquor violations. The defense claimed that the 1hnes had a government permit to keep liquor for medicinal pur- poses. The court pointed out that the liquor license of the hotel was made out in Willie Ihne'S name while the application for the permit was in Charley's name. To this the defense replied that the hotel is run as a company and the permit was applied for by Charles as secre ,ary.
 The court held both Ihnes guilty and fined Willie s1o0 on each count saying that as he had not been con- V1cted before there would be no jail sentence. Appeal bonds were placed at s2,000 for Charles and $500 for Willie Ihne

Probation Officer Attributes De-
 crease to Absence of Liquor FEWER NON-SUPPORT CASES
Much Of Omcials' Work Was Carried On Outside of Court-'sThe Boy" on Good Behavior During the
 Year-Tribute to Judge MestiH.

In the annual report of Probation dcer Connolly to the late Judge cause of the passage of a state sta tute recurring the submitting of those statements in June instead Of in September, covers only a nine month period, stress is laid on the decreasing number of arrests. The probation officer is of the opinion that prohibition, although it has not been enforced as rigidly as it might, is directly responsible for that condi- ton. His report calls attention also, to the fact that there have been fewer non-support cases brought to court.
 Tribute to Judge Meskin.

 New Britain, Conn.
 Dear Sir:
 At the last session of the legisla- ture an amendment was passed changing the statute regulating an- nual reports to the governor which makes the date of the. fiscal year to end June 30th. It therefore becomes necessary to render our report at this time, instead of September 30th, as has been our custom heretofore. This brings our records in harm ony with state. but only covers nine months instead of twelve, namely from September, 30. 1919 to June 30, 1920, inclusive.
 All connected with the court were shocked and saddened on January z, 1920, at the sudden death of Hon. James T. Meskill who for many years was the presiding judge of this court. Other and abler minds have paid we'll deserved tribute to his memory. However, as probation officer and coming into intimate relations through mutual service and interest in the work, I learned to appreciate and value his large heartedness and inherent kindness so often shown to those in trouble. He was a staunch believer in. and supporter of the pro- bation system and frequently .expres- sed himself as to its usefulness to the court and society at large. Our

Tn order to get estimate on the number of automobiles that travel along Stanley street on a Sunday, off cer John Carlson was stationed at the South street railroad crossing yes- terday from S:10 a. m. until 6:10 p. m. During that period of time he checked off approximat tely HOO automo piles of all kinds. sizes and description.
 The record kept by the officer dur- ing the day shows that during the bus jest hour 172 machines passed
 This record is not at all conclu- elusive however. for hundreds cf tourists and other auto parties, who start early Sunday mornings, pass over this thoroughfare before o'clock in the morning. During the middle of the day the tourists traffic is much less as a majority of those going away for the day have already passed. And also, those who have been away for the day do not generally return until evening and as the officer goes off duty at o'clock these cannot be included in the check-up
 An unofficial count made last even- ing, after the officer had left. showed 329 machines passing between and o'clock.
