to Commissioner Enright about him
because Zipp arrested Charles Floman
in his candy store without warrant.
Don't you know you can't enter a
mans place OF business or his home
and search for liquor without a war

Zipp didn't answer.

the weight of criminal charges that

In fact. the opportunity for the cap
ture took the police almost as much by
surprise as the raid did the smugglers.
for they received their Information by
telephone at o'clock In the morning
from a mysterious informant who re-
fused to give his name and hung up
before the police could locate him.
Capt. Joseph Miller of the Jennie t..
a craft 3SA feet length. said he had
been approached by stranger at Block
Island and offered $50 a day If he
would pick up a cargo at sea and sue
cessfully deliver it to this port. Capt.
Miller said he accepted the proposal
and started off from Block Island just
as it was getting dark. They went out
to sea in n southerly direction for two
hours, when they met schooner whlch
was waiting ror them.
According to Capt. Miller. he and his
helper were told to go down in the cabin
and mind their own business. From the
cabin. he said, he could hear the men
loading the boat, filling the hold and
then putting on deck load. Then Capt.
Miller started the Jennie T. for shore
The stranger who made the proposal.
he said, told him how to get into New
Haven harbor. Capt. Miller has been un-
able to obtain bonds for his release. His
helper has not been captured.
There was on!A one hitch apparently
IN the smugglers' plans before the police
arrived That was when they found a
boat already in the slip where they
had planned to make fast. Undaunted.
the crew Of the Jennie T. quietly moved
the intruder around to the other side
of the dock, warped in and silently be-

So perfect were the plans that the
authorities believe that sister smugsier

 The victory proved ray ot sun shine in the sky of a otherwise cloudy year for the Maroon, while it's effect on the Columbians was just the re- verse, terminating a season of disaster upon disaster with still another disas- ter.
 In two of his journeys across the Columbia goal line Webster covered half the length of the field, displaying some of the prcttiest open-field run ming seen on any gridiron this season. His third followed a sensational dash of thirty yards past the Columbia sec ondary defense, after receiving for ward pass from his tcam-matc, Her mann, standing on the Blue and White l5-yard line.
