LIQUOR AGENTS
 GET 36 QUARTS OF FOLD TAYLOR"

The prohibition enforcement agents have been a busy crew the eve of Christmas, and as a result the fluid deemed necessary to make a true Yuletide spirit will be lacking in a number of instances. Old Taylor-36 quarts, real pre-prohibition booze, was confscated, along with a large Ve1ie car, when the agents trailed and over took Louis Maresca, 33 Franklin street, New Haven. He was before United States Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery late yesterday afternoon, and bound over in bonds of $500. He was caught on Hallett street, and it is be- lieved that he was planning to deliver the valuable cargo to a saloon in that neighborhood. The agents who have been active are Doolan, Wardwell, Hinman and Fowler. Frank Hominsky, PTS Horace street, in the Old Mill Green section, was found to have two stills in opera tion. One was of 10 gallon capacity, and another of eight gallons. Mash to the extent of 200 gallons was de- stroyed, and the stills and two coils, together with a huge cooler, conf1s- cated.
 Casper Gopoian lives at PIT Dover street. He had a five gallon still, and one quart of product. Now he has neither but a summons to appear be- fore the commissioner, early in the week.
 John Adamcewik, 716 Pembroke street. had an eight gallon still. lot of coil and no product. Now he has plenty to worry him.

It is here that the star in the story, finds refuge after being driven right out on the roof of his own ap- artment by an irate 1and1ady. Jour- neying over the roofs, he finally "squats'' in a fine home, the owner being away, and takes possession and meets the girl. The set was quite convenient for MT. Reid for all he had to do to reach it was to run up a ladder from his own dressing room Lila. Lee is the girl.

 Qualifications of Candidates

 Reports and political gossip have found ready expressions, and the name of this person has been "men- toned" and that person has been slated" for this job and the other job. Names follow names and can didates replace candidates their particular friends advance them into the limelight of gossip and public ity.
 But for a matter of fact, regard less of the hundreds of rumors and guesses, the various appointments have not yet been made. It is thus that in some cases. the mind of the mayor has practically been made up as to whom he will favor. but for the most part he is yet undecided. Almost all of yesterday and today, as we'll as all of Monday, has been and will be devoted to a consideration of the qualifications of candidates, and by the middle of next week, May or Atwater will be in a position to positively announce the fortunates among whom he will distribute the new patronage crop.
