DELIVERED BOOZE
TO DEPUTY SHERIFFS
Pat Kelley Of Rutland Alleged to
Have Been Caught in Clever
Plot Of Detectives.

Rutland, Aug. Patrick ]. Kelley
of this city holder of liquor licenses at
various times in local option days, and
Isadore Blackstone, Rutland tailor
were arraigned before City Judge
Leonard F. Wing Saturday on the
charge Of transport 'ng intoxicating
liquor contrary to law. Both pleaded
not guilty. Kelley who had spent a
night in Jail was released on bail of
$1500 and Blackstone was remanded
to iail in default of surety.
The arrest of the men was the result
of trap set at an early hour Saturday
morning a mile south OF Rutland by
State officers acting in cooperation
with representatives Of q Boston de-
tective agency. Kelley has been sus-
pected of violating the law for a long
period and it is known that the officers
have made various unsuccessful at.
tempts before to catch him. He is al
ready under federal indictment for
selling liquor at his home here having
sold to dry agent as it is alleged,
and he will stand trial in the district
court at an early date on that charge.
On Saturday morning about two
hours or more before daylight as the
officers assert, Kelley was to have
delivered several cases of high-grade
liquor to a certain man at $S5 a case.
When Kelley arrived at the designated
place car was in waiting but it was
the machine of Deputy Sheriff Allen
A. Leonard of Wallingford instead of
the prospective customer and Kelley
did not discover his mistake until
Sheriff Henry r. adams of this city
and deputies pounced upon him from
corn field Seventeen cases of intox-
icants and a Haynes touring car were
seized
Blackstone was riding on the load
and was locked up as was Kelley
Mrs. Kelley was in the machine but
was permitted to go home. An hour
later equipped with a diagram of the
premises alleged to have been furnish.
ed by a detective, officers searched
Kelleys house without result.

Power Company Proposes ia
Make Town an Inland Port

In Case Portion of Hoosac Tun-

A gift OF 100000 In cash and guar
anteed boat service, awaits the town
OF Wilmington II the citizens of that
Vermont village will vote to relieve
the New England Power Company Of
the necessity Of relocating that section
OF the Hoosac Tunnel e. Wilmington
railroad operated between Wilmington
and the big earth dam at Nottingham
now being built by the power company.
The cash payment Is offered In add.
ton to the institution of boat service
between the big dam and Wilmington
to handle freight and passenger traf-
fc The boats, however, could not be
run during the winter months, it is
added by company officials
The power company, through It's
president. Henry l. Hartman, made
this offer to Wilmington, sending a
letter to NJ f. Barber, chairman of a
committee OF ten members OF the Will
mington Mems club. A special town
meeting Is scheduled in the near fu-
ture at which time the offer will be
considered. The census of opinion ex-
pressed in Wilmington and through
the Deerfeld valley is against the ac.
ceptance OF any such proposal as has
been made by the power company.
1t would cost the company $3.50. 900
to relocate the railroad. The boat
service would cost $4,000 and the
company would divide the resulting
savings with the town. II Is under
stood the railroad mentioned Is now
operating at loss, deficit of over
$4,000 year being reported. II Is the
desire Of the power company officers
that the present railroad stop at the
dam in Whitngham and the establish
ed boat line be conducted from there
to Wilmington The passenger sery-
ice would consist OF large power boat
that would meet all trains at the dam
and land them in Wilmington. Flat
boats of the type that now carry cars
around New York harbor will be used
for freight Rates would be the same
as by railroad. Costing only $4,000
TO establish the boat line would mean
a saving OF 100000 over the cost of
relocating the road and a division OF
this saving with the town of Whining
ton is offered.
In pointed editorial The Whining
ton Times scorns the offer of the pow
or company, explaining that the de.
probation in valuation the declination
OF business and the exodus of popula-
tion caused by taking away the rail-
road would never be made up in the
financial offer OF the company and the
makeshift transportation service would
have no appeal to manufacturers it is
argued. The special town meeting is
awaited with interest as questions of
vital importance to the residents of
Wilmington and vicinity are scheduled
TO be discussed.
