1 Frank Bogdanski of 40 Horace
 street and Ignatz Wisk of a Grove street were discarded when arraigned this morning in police court before
 Judge Benjamin w. Alling on charges
 of having a reputation and keeping liquor with intent to sell. They were arrested as a result of the finding of three 5-gallon cans of alcohol in a garage at 276 Washington street where Wisk keeps his machine Sat urday afternoon.
 According to the testimony pre- scented by Prosecuting Attorney Jo- seph G. Woods, the police had re- coiyed information that loo gallons Of liquor had been unloaded in the garage rented by Wisk over a week ago. Saturday afternoon a warrant was secured to search the premises of the landlord who lives in a house at 27G Washington street, in the rear of which the garage is located. Not finding any liquor in the house, the officers had the landlord open the garages which he had rented, and in the one which Wisk occupied. they found the alcohol. They then had a search warrant made out for Wisk's garage and the men were arrested when they were returning to the garage about 6 o'clock.
 When arrested Wisk told the off cers that hc did not know anything about the liquor as ii was not there when he left the garage and that if any of his friends had told the police that he had liquor there. the police could go and arrest them for they were the ones that put it there. Bog danski told the court that he had never been to the garage before.
 In making his decision, Judge Al ling said that he could not reconcile the action of the police in having a warrant made out for the landlords house. without making specific men ton of the garage which was rented by Wisk. when tho information in their hands was that 100 gallons of liquor had been brought into Wisk's garage and emptiod there, and no in- formation that the landlord had any liquor in his possession.
 The raids were made by Officers Thomas J. Fceney William s. Strols and William F. Hayes. Judge Will liam 4, Mangan represented the de- fendants.
