Secretary Once Librarian

It was in 1916, the date OF the con
stitutional convention itself, when a
resolution was passed establishing the
library. The Secretary Of State was
made State librarian, and it was not
until 1871 that a separate official was
created by the legislature.
Functions have been gradually ex-
panded, and in 1907 a legislative ref
erence department was created and in
1913 a department of Indiana history
and archives.
An average Of 400 books a week are
sent into circulation throughout the
State by the library officials. They
may be Kept for thirty days. Blind
persons may obtain reading matter
printed in the revised Braille, while
thousands of requests come in an
nually in inquiry for information on
various and sundry matters

Antonio Cognato of Boston wa.
fined 5000 and costs amounting tc
$3.50 and Carmen Romano, also Of
Boston, was fined $3.50 in the Berlin
town court last evening on charges
Of transporting liquor.
When the men first came before
the court they said they did not
know what was in the truck when
they started out from New York
city.
Judge George Griswold was con-
WINGED that Romano was ignorant OF
what was being carried in the truck
and hence, he was let off with a
lighter fine. than his companion. Con-
trary to a report yesterday. the men
were unable to secure the money for
their bonds of $500 each and were
forced to remain in the New Britain
police station all day yesterday,
awaiting trial last evening.
They were also unable to furnish
money for their fines and Judge
Griswold remained at the town hall
with them last evening until a man
went to New Haven in an effort to
secure money. Els effort was un-
successful and men we're taken back
to New Britain. Up to this morning
they had not succeeded in securing
the money and Judge Griswold stated
that If the money is not forthcoming
before night they will be lodged in
the county Jail at Hartford.
The two men, apparently little
over 20 years Of age, were arrested
Wednesday evening shortly after
o'clock by State Policeman Walter
Lenehan who saw their truck loaded
with fresh vegetables. He became
suspicious, as the truck bore New
York license plate and it seemed
hardly plausible that fresh vegetables
would be carted such distance by
truck. The men we're arrested and
the liquor was found hidden by the
produce in the back of the truck.
Three hundred gallons of alcohol
was found when the officer investi-
gated.
