Ellinger and Stadler to Be Turne d Loose Against Speak Easies'
 and Makers of Liquor
Sergeant and Traffic Po- liceman Assigned to Special Duty in Cam paign to Suppress Manu- facture and Sale.

Detailing Policeman John c. Stad-
 led to the detective bureau. Chief
 w. C. Hart of the police depart
 ment announced this morning that
 a drive will be made at once to clean
 up the situation caused by liouor
 violations in this city.
 Policeman Stadler has been a
 member of the traffic squad for inc
 past few years. and prior to that, he
 was in the detective bureau. He prominent in several liquor raids and was compelled to undergo an operation following an injury sus- tained in one raid.
 Chief Hart said Detective Ser geant Ellinger and Policeman Stad- Ter will devote their time to the liquor violation end of the detective bureau work. Detective Sergeant w. P. MeCue, who is in charge of the bureau. and Sergeant Patrick U Mara and Policeman Thomas ]. Feeney who have been on detail Tn the bureau for some time, will continue. Their duties will include the routine work of plain clothes men but they will also be available for duty with the liquor detail.
 Chief Hart believes that enough work Is entailed in the handling of matters coming to the detective bureau to warrant a special detail on liquor law violations. Heretofore. the entire bureau detail worked on all matters coming to this branch of the department, and Chief Hart did not publicly designate a squad for particular work. Frequently. only sergeant o'Mara and Officer Feeney apeared as witnesses in court when alleged violators of the prohibition laws were heard, and often. every officer in the bureau took part fin raids.
 New Britain's prosecution of pro- prietors of speak -easies. manufac- turers of wine and liquor and others falling into the category of scofflaws mas resulted in putting many place. or unsavory reputation out of busi- ness yet there are violations exist ing' It Is said. in practically every section of the city. The proportion or convictions to arrests has been high, 1t is said. compared to the records of other cities.
 The vacancy in the traffic squad mas not been filled as yet, Chief Hart said but he intimated that he in- tends to transfer a night police man to Policeman Stadler's former post. Temporarily. one of the day policemen will fill In. When our traffic signal lights are installed. we Will not need so many men on traf- hc duty about the center of the city" the chief said.

 Inquiry showed that the copies varied and that Simpsons was cor rect. The prosecutor and Mir. McCar- ter exchanged copies and the de- fonse counsel resumed his reading.
 MT. McCarter stressed his conten- tion that Mrs. Gibson, the "pig woman." had not said anything about the case until some energetic and perhaps generous reporter had seen her.

NEW RAILROADS
IN TEXAS WILL
OPEN VAST TRACT

LUBBOCK, Texas, Feb. 4.-More
railroad mileage will be built in
Texas during 1926 than in any other
states in the Union. Sixteen differ
ent projects of large systems total
ing approximately $500 miles, are
now awaiting approval of the inter
state commerce COMMISSION.
While most of these lines are ex-
tension they will give new life to a
vast territory which otherwise would
have gone undevcloped, due to lack
of railway facilities. Agriculture
products will be increased immeas-
urablv along with shipping, com
merce and population.
y dozen towns have sprung up and
the plains have become dotted with
farm houses in the last few months
in the territory between here and
the Texas New Mexico line since the
opening of the Santa Fe railroad
between here and Bledsoe, distance
of 20 miles.
Formerly this tract of land was
practically useless except for graz
ing purposes. Immense ranches of
400 sections are being cut up into
small farming tracts of from 100 to
$40 acres. The soil is rich, fertile
and level, and the rainfall is suffi-
cient to grow cotton and other crops.
The new towns have organized
chambers of commerce, built schools
and churches and started newspapers.
Only 1877 voters were registered a
year ago in one county, but this
January more than 1900 persons
paid poll tax. Banks, court houses
and cotton gins have been built.
Other vast plains sections now
practically undeveloped await the
coming Of proposed railroads to
spring to lie as did the section west
of Lubbock. Many towns in the
| panhandle section have railway sta
tions but no railway. In some see
tions farmers live a distance of
40 or so miles from railway.
News of a favorable interstate
commerce commission decision upon
petitions for railroads for these sec
tions is awaited eagerly by the in
habitants of these vast open spaces.

FROST FAILS TO

commonly supposed that laws of ma

This is the first time the tree so
behaved, and the remarkable oc-
curance is even more mystifying as
heavy frosts have nightly visited
this section for several weeks.
