ing held last night IN the mayors

on organization was adopted, calling
for meetaes ~ the fourth Friday Of

members constituting a quorum.
A discussion on the site for the
station was discussed with the chol. e
lying between the south end Of Cen
trail park and the plot Just south Of
the park, known as the aisle of
safety" Hhe city engineer was re-
quested to prepare sketches of
stations at both sites TO be presented
to the next meeting of the commit
tee.
r. G.. Plat favored the site below
the park. He felt that II could serve
afford a means of shelter for those
waiting for cars and prevent traffic
coming down Court street from cut
ting across the Aisle of Safety"
E. Allen Moore mentioned the
possibility that trolley tracks may not
always be found in the city. He
pointed out that buses have sup
planted trolleys elsewhere and may
do SO here. Commissioner Mueller
asked if any site other than in the
center of the city had been con-
sidered The mayor explained that
public convenience demanded that it
be in the center. Henry Walter in
uuired as to the plan for a combined
comfort station and shelter and Mr..
Plat explained that he had in mind
a roof area of 80 feet square over a

Many Tests Being Made
F~lnce by Government

Paris Nov. 30.--A national fuel
bustion engines that will make
France less dependent upon other
countries for gasoline, is being sought
bv government and private laborator-
les. Many tests with denatured alco-
hol and benzol added in small guam
titles to gasoline have given good re-
suits.
A week Of conception with yari-
Gus formulate Kill be held at Hezieres
in February, 1922. Private interests
have contributed 10000 francs to tie
fund for these tests. Another fund
of a like amount has been made avail
able by parliament for laboratory and
road tests under the supervision or
a parliamentary commission
Alcohol is available in France from
sugar beets principally, but it is
planned TO develop other sources OF
supply.
So far II has not been found that
there is any great economy in using
alcohol but II is believed thai, with
increased use, the alcohol industry
might produce at lower prices. The
principal advantage sought in the ma
tional fuel, however, is independence
of foreign oil supplies, During the
war there we're at times dangerous
shortages Of fuel for airplancs AMI
automobiles.
One of the problems 10 he solved
is the effect of any new mixture ON

any thing missing from his place, and
in demanding $500 from Viola To tell
whore the liquor was in cache, Den
ison was guilty OF hlackmail.
He is the only man who is not In
jail who testified against GreenberE,
and 1t is probable that the state felt
that II was better 10 have one witness
not in Jail to act as a states witness, q"
said Lawyer Berry
Berry Explains,
The lawyer also recalled that Rich
ardson had said that he never dream
cd of Greenbere being arrested in
connection with the case, and that the
accused prosecutor never knew Rich
ardson anything other than an hon
est public official
1T was for the reason thot the
name of 4 friend had been mentioned
in an ugly rumor that caused Green
berg to send after Richardson on
that occasion" said Mr. Berry.
A"If Greenherg has been guilty Of
negligence or ignorance, he Is not
guilty Of a criminal act" said counsel
for the accused
Not Many Points TO Case.
Lawyer Berry said that there were
not many points to the case Whether
or not man had a permit to tran
sport liquor, did not require the liquor
prosecutor 70 scurry around for ovi-
dence that the law was being violated.
He also claimed that IT was Narioa 5
word against Greenberg's that q per
nit figured in the transaction.
Dismissal of Spitzcl.
In regard to the dismissal OF Spit
eel as an interpreter by Greenberg.
Lawyer Berry made stress of the fact
that lawyers doing much business in
New Britain must come in contact
with foreigners, consequently their
language is familiar In the case OF
Fariola, Greenhere needed no inter
prefer, the counsel said. Mr.. Berry
also said that Denison was not fooled
as TO who was the police court prose
cutor, and that he knew fully well
that Judge klett was then acting in
that capacity and that in consequence,
Greenberg could not prosecute him.
Heated Turmoil in \. 3.
This whole case, il appears to me,
was brought as the result of the heat
cd turmoil in New Britain" said Mr.
Berry.
IF Mr.. Alcorn had something on
Mr.. Greenberg last March, the latter
should have prosecuted then, And il
Nariola had something on Mr.. Green
berg, the latter would have been crazy
to have prosecuted him in police
court, which later happened" said the
defendants counsel.
Mr. Berry claimed that Richard
sons testimony showed he believed il
would help him in his present trouble
Debut in Criminal Court
In concluding his argument Lawyer
Berry said it was the first time in his
20 years af practice, that he had de-
Tended client in the criminal court
He only did SO after he went through
the ase thoroughly, and was conf
dent of the innocence Of the accused
and in finishing his argument he ask
ed for a discharge.
A short recess was taken at thi:
time.
Alcorns Argument,
On opening his argument Mr.. Al
| corn said he was reminded after lis
tcning to Mr.. Berry of a story tolG
| of Mr.. Choate, who said that after
| talking at a banquet and leaving the
| place, he believed his best speech wa:
made on his way home
