BROWN IS FINED
 $200 IN CANAAN
New Britain Driver Heavily Fined
 for Transporting Beer

Frank B. Brown, truck driver of 24o Smalley street. was fined s2oo and costs by Justice of the Peace George w. Ford in the town court of Canaan last night on the charge of transporting liquor of prohibitive alcohol content The fine amounted to $270 and his truck and its con tents were confiscated.
 It will be remembered that Brown was taken in tow by the state police on the state road in Canaan on the night of October 4, and his truck and l25 cases of beer, which he was car ry1ng in it, were confscated. Samples If the stuff were sent to the office of state prohibition Director Mackenzie, to be analysed. It was found to con tain almost per cent of alcohol, and the drastic fine imposed on the driv- CT shows that the prohibition director and the state police are determined to stop the transportation of real beer under the guise of near beer.
 investigations are being made to ascertain the source of the beer, and also to discover whether the stuff originally left its starting point as near beer and if alcohol Was added to 1t or not. According to Brown, he was hired by A. J. Hagearty, pro- prietor of the Spring Bottling Works of this city, to transport the load of feer to Pittsfield, Mass Hagearty, he said, received the stuff in barrels from the New Haven Bottling Works and bottled 1t at his plant here.
 It cannot be determined as yet whether there will be any further prosecutions in the case of Brown, until the Investigations of the state -lolice are completed and the party Is found who was responsible for the unlawful amount of alcohol in the peer.

RELIEF MEASURES
Premier Would Extend Great Britain $
 Credit System

London, Oct. 2O.-Proposals for the extension of Great Britain's trade credit system and for assistance in raising capital for industrial undertakings as measures for the relief of the unem- ployed made by Premier Lloyd George in the house of commons yesterday have been well received by representatives of large industries. There has been little criticism of the details of the cab inet's plan, and the scheme is regard ed as sound and workable. Commit tees are being established to deal with the premier's proposals.
 It is understood the government of- fered to leave the management of the credit system to leading bankers but the latter decided it could be managed bet ter by a committee which would work under the auspices of the overseas trade de6artment. The bankers have given assurance of future assistance, how ever. and conferences held so far have been of the most cordial nature.

JAZZ IN MEXI60
American Syncopation Becomes Popular But Short Time Chorus Girls Do Not Attract As Much As Here.

Mexico City, Oct 2O.-American jazz devils have come to Mexico City and have made their syncopation popular but theater-going Mexicans have failed to appreciate an American musical comedy as recently presented by a com- pany of "girly- -girly girls direct from Broadway to use the words of the in- spired press agent. The company ap- peared here as one of the attractions of the Centennial celebration. Adver- tised as a bit of Broadway transplanted to Mexico, ,the girls were intended to add bit of pepper and zest to the month of fiesta, but, after few nights, interest Jagged and the show concluded it's runs without breaking any attend ance records.
 It was not because the attraction was below the standard of any similar show in the United States. Old-timers in the American colony hefe have long declared that American musical comedy will not pay in Mexico and their pre- dictions appear to have been subtsan- tiated in the recent attempt.

 The cafeteria was the first ever es- tablished in any national park and it has been so successful that other parks have written for details of it's opera tions. It is probable that the idea will be copied.
