New Haven, Jan 2.---Another method of making whiskey and drinks. not quite so dangerous, was discovered yesterday by federal agents when the saloon of Harry Shields at 105 Wash ington avenue was searched upon a federal warrant, and five quarts of grain alcohol, a quantity of burned sugar, molasses and coloring matter were found and confiscated.
 The stuff was found secreted in the ceiling in the cellar of the saloon. Plenty of good whiskey and much Virginia Dare wire. none of which was inventoried and marked with rev. enue stamps as required by law, was also found.
 the arrest of Shields for violation of revenue law. No taxes have been paid upon the liquor found there. Although no information could be gained from federal authorities who
 made the search, IL is assumed that the liquors found were newly manu- factured, probably from the grain al- cohol, colored with the sugar and col bring matter Grain alcohol is in no wise deleterious, and the liquors made from it would not cause death nor any serious discontinue. The only of- fense is in distilMng or making the h- uuors contrary to government urohIb1- ton.
 It is understood that the federal men were led to search the place through information given of large numbers of men getting drunk in the place.

CASH AND TITLES BEING GATHERED
 IN SOUTH WALES

Cardiff, Wales, Jan. 2.-Quick for tunes and knfghthoods are the pres ent day products of South Wales, says a special correspondent of the Daily Express. He cites numerous ex- amples of rapidly acquired wealth and honors in Cardiff which now boasts about 25 miliionaires. To be accounted millionaire in Wales, it should be understood, one must possess not $1,00O,o00 but 100000 pounds.
 Ships are the golden argosies of Cardiff, not the stately liners that but numbering tramps, many of them ancient end rusty. Freight rates are high. says the correspondent and shipping men are raking in fortunes. One can meet many men in Cardiff who before the war were clerks at small salaries and now have big mo- tor-cars, wives with furs and dia- monds, and country houses.
 One man in Cardiff who sailed the seas as a pilot five years ago put his savings into a ship and now can write his check for 500,000 pounds. A small tradesman invested 200 pounds in a ship and received 5000 pounds for his interest two years later. A man who held a small clerkship in a shipping office before the war came unexpectedly into a windfall of A. 900 poun9s. He invested it in a ship ping company and now has sold his interest for 100,000 pounds.
 A former railway porter is now di- rector of sixteen companies. A boy of 21 who inherited 10000 pounds is now at 27 chief owner of II ships and worth many hundreds of thous. ands.
 A man who formerly had a type writer agency drifted into shipping He recently bought a country estate for 250000 and his daughter was heard complaining that he allowed her "only 21,000 pounds a year."

 Roman held the door open for the two couples to come out. Immediately after, the side door was locked. Gar giulo and his wife walked down Court street to Orange and MT. and Mrs. Grandinette made their way home walking down Church street. Gar giu1o claims that he did not hear the alarm nor see any engines coming. MT. and Mrs. Grandinette informed the probers that they also failed to see a fire engine going down Church l street, which was returning from the fire in Chapel street. They did hear the alarm, when they reached Church and George street.
 | A few minutes prior to the call for 1 the fire department to Sabatini's, No. ! 1 truck was returning to it's house | and in passing the cafe they saw two | men near the front entrance of the | cafe, one of them appeared to be | fumb1ing with the front door knob 1 and they were under the impression 1 that the place was being closed.
 The action of the two men appeared
 to be suspicious. One of the firemen
 ramarked about it to his companions.
 They observed that at that time there was no light in the cafe. Within minute after they passed the place the flames were discovered and when they responded to the alarm, a matter or another two minutes, they found the barroom and grill a mass of flames | Marshal Perkins seemed to be of the opinion that some sort of fluid was used. He was inclined to believe that g. strong odor of alcohol prevailed when he first entered the cafe
 Fire officials are trying to connect the suspicious blaze at SIT Chapel street, which was discovered several minutes before the Saibatina blaze, with the Sabatina blaze. There is no doubt in the mind of the officials that the fire in the Wolcott building was also incendiary. At first it was re- lgarded as an attempt to draw off the fire department so as to give Sopa- tina's a chance to get good start De for the apparatus would arrive.

MORE TROUBLE IN IRELAND OVER
 EDUCATION BILL

Dublin, Jan. 2.-The governments $ Irish education bill is criticized here on the ground that the Irish educa- tional system should be framed by an Irish Parliament
 The Home Rule Bill was expected to grant separate treatment for U1- ster, but the education bill is framed on the assumption that Ireland is a single unit. The education bill sets up only one central authority in Dublin directly responsible to the Im- perial Parliament.
 It introduces for the first time into the educational system of Irela Id a local school tax. Hitherto all the money has been found by the treas ury, supplemented by voluntary sub- scriptions
 There will be popular represen- tation on the school board but its function is to be advisory only, and t the power is all to rest with the new Education Department. This will con- sist of the Chief Secretary and the Vice President of the Department of Technical Education, both of whom come into and go out of office with the British ministry of the day, and of a permanent member who will be the real admin istratcr of the new system.
 Religious controversy is avoided by the provision in the bill continuing the existing plan by which the school managers, mostly the clergy of the various denominations, appoint the teachers and control the schools.
