DRY AGENTS
ROUTED BY OWNER
Fail in Attempt to Rob New
Haven Saloon

New Haven, Dec. a. Two fake
| federal prohibition agents attempted
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning raid
upon the saloon of Pasquale Mortaro
OF BAG Columbus avenue but after
Mortaro had kncked out several teeth
OF one Of the men and had overcome
the other, they were glad to run from
the building to their automobile a
block away and hurry away.
That Is the story told to Captain OF
Detectives Henry ]. Donnelly and
when Detective Sergt. William WEIGH
asked Prohibition Enforcement Agent
Ralph H. Blakeslee if any OF his men
had made raid on Mortaro's saloon,
1t was learned that the men in ques-
ton were imposters Mortaro rernem-
bered the badge that the men had, SO
when he described this to Blakeslee
ii was seen that the insignia was ]
fake.
Saloonkeeper's Story
Mortaro told the detectives that he
was behind the bar in his saloon when
two young men came in. He said that
one of them jumped over the bar and
tore his shirt, while scufflihg with
him. He hit this one in the mouth
and sent him reeling, the owner of
fewer teeth than when he entered the
place.
Then, according to Mortaro, the
other one came around the end of the
bar with gun in his right hand and
a badge in his left and said in loud
voice: Hold UP your hands,"
Mortaro's next move was not clear
ly explained by him but he said that
he got the better of the two men and
drove them from the place, He said
that the man with the badge said:
I'm a federal officer"
Officials Puzzled
The detective bureau was at loss to
know what motive could have prompt
ed the men to enter into such mas
querade. Some thought Of robbery or
hlackmail must have been In the
raiders minds.
But he who is puzzled most is
who feels surprised that
anyone should assume the role of a
prohibition agent and initiate mem
eers of his force by giving demonstra-
lions Of skill in jumping by clearing
the bar in Mortaro's saloon according
o the latest improved technique.

ent. I'll go right into the house and

She hoped through the doorway
and told her mother whal she had
learned.
Mrs. Bunny leaped right UP on the
mantelpiece and seized the can Of
peas.
What are you going to 40, MAJ"
cried her daughter
I'm going to open this" said Mrs.
Bunny. And she tried to bite into
the tin can. She did succeed in fr1Ak-
ing slight dent in it. But that was
all. Call Jimmy Rabbit! Ask him to
hurry"
He came quickly in answer to Be-
linda's summons.
How does person get into a can
of peas? ?" Mrs. Bunny demanded.
But Jimmy Rabbit couldn't tell her.
And Mrs. Bunny was frantic. But
she wouldn't let anybody else try to
open the can. Though it hadn't been
given to her, she wouldn't let go Of 1t.
She kept it with her all winter long
and spent hours and hours and hours
trying to open it. And all for the
lack of a can-opener.
