You're too old" The man with the white hair replied: I'm in as good condition as any man here" Then he proved it.

NEW HAVEN BOOZE
 SHIP IDENTIFIED
Vessel Believed to Belong to ' Brooklyn Man

New Haven, Jan. 22.-Papers found on the sloop Chichota, rum runner, seized by the police last night appear to establish that Rowland NJ. Stover, of Brooklyn, N. r., is the owner, ac- cording to the police. The hearing for the four members of the crew who were arrested was set for Janu- ary 24 and each man was asked to furnish bond of s2,000.
 The police say they are quite cer- tain as to the identity of the fifth member of the crew who jumped overheard at the dock. at the time of the seizure and got away by wading to a place where he could not be reached. Whether or not an arrest will be made will be determined later.
 With her cargo of over 300 cases Of apparently good liquor safely stow ed away in the basement of police headquarters here and four men awaiting arraignment in. the police court charged with illegal transpor- tation of the bottled goods, the police carly today began their search for further information as to the iden- tity of the sloop which Was taken m charge at the canal dock here yester- day afternoon after she had sought shelter in the local harbor.
 Chief of Police Philip Smith said this forenoon that her papers showed inc Chichota was registered out or New York city but that little further information as to her trip had been gleaned from the four captured members of her crew who gave names and addresses as follows:

A fifth man whom members of the police raiding party who boarded the sloop at the dock here yesterday claim 10 have recognized as local man, had not been caught mp to early forenoon. He escaped by jumping overheard and wading ashore when the police board cd tho vessel.
 The government agents were eN- pected to take hand in the inVesti- pation of the sloop's Identity today Police Chief smith expressed the be- lief that the Chichota had been out to the rum fleet for her cargo and was returning either to New York or some point on the Connecticut shore when she was obliged 10 put in here on ac- count of the gale on the Sound. The vessel is ice coated from stem 10 stern and was leaking badly when she was docked. Members of the crew captured declared that the skipper had gone to New York.
