ARCH ST. CLUB
 OWNER IS FINED
Testimony Shows Alcoholic
 Liquor Was on Hand
Pleading guilty to the charge of

Pleading guilty to the charge Of violation of the liquor law in club at 1S7 Arch street, Frederick Eli son. aged 29 years, of the Beloin hotel, was fined s100 and costs by Judge Hungerford in police court this morning. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. NJ. Greenstein entered a nolle in the case of John O'Brien who was arrested with Ellison In the raid on the club last Friday eve ming.
 Mir. Greenstein said that while . O'Brien was in the place there is doubt as to his connection with the ownership although it might be proven if gone into at length. In view of Ellison's assumption of ownership and his decision to change his plea from not guilty to guilty, the charge against O'Brien will not be pressed, Mir. Greenstein said.
 Explaining the case Mir. Green stein said Sergeants Ellinger and OMara and Officer Feeney raided the club last Saturday evening
 Ellison broke a bottle containing liquor when the police entered. An analysis of the liquor showed it to have an alcoholic content of 2.46 per cent by volume and 1.97 per cent by weight. Several cases of beer were seized and found to have an alcoholic content of 3.0l per cent by volume and 2.40 per cent by weight.
 Attorney David L. Dunn. repre- senting Ellison, said there are cir cumstances surrounding the case which lessen its seriousness.
 "The place is not a store or public place. Only persons having keys are admitted and they are able to afford to drink. No families suf- fer because of the operation of the ? club" Attorney Dunn said, because it is not a place where. men can go and drink until their money is gone. In short, 1t is place where cer- tain number. of men who can afford to drink can go when they want to drink. The club has been operating about a month" In view of these facts Attorney Dunn asked Judge Hunaerford to be as lenient as pos sible.
 State Fails in Proof.
 After lengthy hearing, Judge Hungerford discharged Stanle! Trszka, alias Stanley Pavalchik, "ht was charged with selling liquor ant keeping liquor with intent to sell He said he did not believe the stat had proven it's case, but he warned Trszka against another appearance in court on these charges as he ha already been convicted three times
 Trszka was represented by Attor ney Thomas r. McDonough. The ar rest was made last Thursday a Trszka's home, A Clark street.

ing the place for several weeks and on July 2s, about 2;S0 p. m., he followed Joseph NJ. McDermott of 325 Main street, into the house, and when McDermott came out he had bottle of alleged liquor in his hand which he said he bought for 50 cents from a man whom he did not know. Men of drinking habits have been seen entering and leaving the house, the officer said.
 Attorney McDonough asked Off, flcer Feeney if he had not testified in superior court that he took a cer- tain route to and from his home, which route did not take him past "A Clark street, and the officer said he had given that testimony about year ago, but for the past several weeks he has made it his business to go past A Clark street some times three times daily in order to observe conditions about the house.
 Detective Sergeant Ellinger and Officers William Grabeck and Dan- iel Cosgrove testified that men of drinking habits frequent the house and the neighborhood. They men, tioned "Knocko" Hartnett, Cookie" Kellehers Fred St. Lawrence and Jerry Lynch No. l. Officer GrabecB said he sent Michael Ryan into the tenement to buy liquor with g marked bill, but Ryan was refused admittance. -
 Joseph McDermott, states wit ness, testified that he became ac' ouainted with Trszka while working as a painter. He did not buy liquol from Trszka. He bought it from { man whose name he does not know He said he could recognize the mar 1 should he see him.

 "Yes, l know" McDermott said.
 Well, what becomes of them? :? Mir. Greenstein asked.
 l "They get arrested was the re ply.
 Yes, they get arrested, but wha else becomes of them?" Mir. Green stein pursued.
 Why, I don't know what else done to them" McDermott replied
 Well, suppose tell you that yo will go to states prison, If you don

 tinued.
 T can't tell you anything differer than I'm telling now. 1 don't kno'

a jug of licuor, he sergeant having previously testified to this occur renee and also that he warned Trszka to discontinue the sale of liquor unless he wanted to go to jail again.
 Mrs. Trszka denied thath her hus- band sold liquor to McDermott last Thursday afternoon. She has not seen liquor sold in their tenement in the past severai weeks and she has net seen any intoxicated men loung ing about the house or the neigh borhood.
 Trszka's daughter testified that Officer Feeuey brought McDermott into their tenement last Thursday afternoon and on the officers re- quest she called her father. She denied that intoxicated men frequent the tenement.
 Intoxcated men loaf around the neighborhood, but they do not come from the Trszka tenement
 Attorney McDonough claimed no liquor was found by the police all though they searched the tenement. Sergeant Ellinger was delinquent for failing to arrest TrszkI on May 20 after having seen a bill passed between Trszka and an alleged GUS toner. The bottle of liquor taken from McDermott by Officer Feeney Ihas not been offered in evidence.
 Attorney McDonough asked how a Ecourt can be expected to hand down la conviction when no liquor was Hound on the premises, no sale l; proven and no liquor is offered II Ievidence. The testimony of the DO Ilice has been stretched" he said (which has been frequently done be cause police naturally are vitally in terested in their cases. He asked for a discharge.

 fact that the sergeant saw bll
 passed between two men did no justify an arrest.
