HOLT MAKES ATTACK ON
 SToRRS EXTENSION DEPT

Lively tilts over the merits or de- merits of the Connecticut Agricultural Exchange, a cooperative corporation which is selling stock to farmers for the purchase of the Garber-Northam Grain company's plant in Hartford for $15o,o0o developed at the meeting of the Connect icut Grain Dealers association at Storrs Wednesday, in which charges and denials that the farm bureaus and the extension service of the Connecticut Agricultural college were trying to kill the exchange project were hurled back and forth.
 State Dairy and Food Commissioner Thomas Holt who is taking an active part in the agricultural exchange pro- 5ect gave an address on dooperativf buying and 1t was during his address that the clash occurred. Each side ex- pressed itself today forcihly.
 A. R. Carpenter, president of the Bloomfield Cooperative GEin exchange, said Friday that when the agricultural exchange was made the subject of ques- tions by persons from the floor MT. Holt made charges that the farm bureau and the college were trying to defeat the project, which he cannot prove.
 Mr. Holt explained FridaG that he meant what he said that the extension department, not the college as such, is going out of It's way to injure the agri- cultural exchange and that especiallty the Hartford County Farm Bureau, of which the president is also an officer in the Eastern States exchange, is do- ing all 1t can to discredit the Connect icut Agricultural exchange.

SUSPECT POLICEMAN GAVE
 WARNING OF LIQUOR RAID

A liquor raid the most secretively ar- ranged ever undertaken by the New Lon oon police department proved almost A nasco late Thursday when, using a force Of 25 plain clothes men, three police sergeants, and two closed touring cars, the authorities raided 12 New London saloons and aS result made only three arrests. The men taken were Joseph P. Carey and Salvatore Macreno of e4 Water street and Frank Danesi of 112 Bank street. Carey, who was behind the bar at 94 Water street when the police en- tered his place, was seized by the nap of the neck by PatroIman David Magic as he was in the act of dumping the con tents of several containers into the sink. A portion of the liquid he was dumping was saved. While 1t had been somewhat weakened by mixture with water, left standing in the sink nevertheless when tested it showed sufficient alcoholic con- tent to warrant the mans arrest Macre- no, who is accused of being the joint owner of the saloon at s4 Water Ftreet was found doing picket duty outside the saloon and was later arrested. Danesi was not arrested until 11:15 last night when he was taken into custody on the charge of resisting and obstructing an ofacer. All three accused were arraigned in police court yesterday but their hear mgs were continued until today (Satur- | day) morning
 Sentational disclosures as to the skill with which the illegal dealers prepare against police intcrference the care they exercise in secreting their goods the dump ing methods used to destroy the eyi- dence against them, and the complete system of espionage they have built up were uncovered by the police Most sensational of all was the allegation cir culated in police circles that a member of the police department friendly with the liquor interests. had tippel of the dealers that there was to be a raid and gave them ample opportunity to remove their supplies to safety zones.
 It is definitely established that the raid had been scheduled for Wednesday afternoon but ere the hour assigned for the raid approached headquarters learned that the word had gene round and so thu officials decided to call off the plan The greatest possible care was exercised to precent a repetition of the same act Not more than three or four high-u, members of the department were inform ed that a blow was to be struck
 When the members of the day forc' came off the pavements they were tolt to change their clothes and remain ir the squad room. The members Nt Saif
 B were told to delay putting on thei
 uniforms and quietly at 3 p. m. two closet
 automobiles drove up Potter street t
 the rear of police headquarters and spec ial details were loaded into each car Both of these cars were sent to strik
 outlying places-the Montsuk Inn, corne
 Montauk avenue and Lower Boulevard
