ing and during the next four days the

ter part of the time with the regular
monthly hour tests which are given in

men on Coach Roundy's fall program
of teaching them new shifts in prep
alton for the fall of 1925.
College will close al noon Friday of
this week. not to open until January
g. 1t is anticipated that the trains
running east and west after the noon
hour will be sorely taxed. as all stu
dents are returning to their homes for
the three weeks yacation... A majority
of the students who are leaving for
Boston and points west take either the
12.2S or the 3.2s, while those going in
the opposite direction leave. at 1.20 or
$40.
The college dormitories and fraterni-
ty houses will all be closed and locked
SO that any students who are unable to
get to their homes will be compelled
to find rooms in the city for the next
three weeks. Janitor Fred Weymouth
is making arrangements to shut off the
water and steam in all of the buildings
to prevent any recurrence of the burst
ing of pipes and the consequent failure
of the systems>to function at the end

sentenced IL pay fine of $500 and
costs and to serve three months in
Jail and three months additional in
default of payment by Judge Charles
w. Atchley in the municipal court
yesterday afternoon. on a charge Of
illegal possession of Intoxicating Ii
quor. The respondent appealed and
furnished $500 bonds for his apepar
ance at the January term of the SUI
perior court. F. Harold Dubord rep
resented the respondent. Evidences
offered by the state was the testi-
mony of Deputy Sheriffs William
Cole. Harry Pinkham and Edwin Me-
gill to the effect that they raided ST.
Peters premises at 35 Ticonic street
Dec. 3. and found there SO bottles of
beer which they seized.
The only other evidence put in for
the state was the testimony Of Harry
Pinkham that he was outside of the
building and he saw three women
going up the stairs into the st. Peter
home and he heard one Of the girls
say to another II she hal any money
to which the other replied, "Shut up,
I have the right change"
Mr.. Dubord objected strongly to al
lowing Mr.. Pinkham to tell what the
women said on the grounds that It
was hearsay evidence and would
never be considered by fury.
William ]. Cole was the first wit
ness for the state. He testified that
on informatio brought to him he
swore out q warrant against the
premises at S5 Ticonic street on Dec.
8. and in company with Deputy Sher-
ifs Pinkham and Megill searched the
premises and Mr.. MeSill found So
bottles Of beer. Three Ladies' were in
the house and Mr.. st. Peter came
later. They said 1t was for their own
personal use.
In the cross exaQnination he said
there was a difference In the color of
the beer. He could not give q reason
for the difference In color. saying
that he was not well enough ac-
quainted for that. He said the beer
did not seem to be concealed very
much. No one came, there to pur-
chase liquor WI lie he was there.
Deputy Sheriff Edwin F. Megill
testified he raised up cover of set
tubs and found some light beer on
one side and darker beer on the other.
Three ladies and child were in the
house. Three young ladies came IN
and went part way up the stairs and
