me long to lay hands on the individual
responsible for the wholly untrue and

1T wasn't the fault of the Air
Service that we failed to reach New
York City on schedule" the letter
continues. 1T was simply bad luck.
Lieuts. Matthew and Koenig made

until dawn. Despite strong head
winds we made a fast flight to North
Platte and there transferred to the
two fast Army planes brought from
Fort Riley by Capt. BOland and Lieut..

for night flying: the other was not,
and had it not been for continuous

 Clarence Brayne. aged 40. of S2o Main street. pleaded guilty to the charge of driving an automobile while under influence of liquor. At torney Davil L. Nair said the reason he asked for a continuance Tuesday morning was to allow him time for q personal investigation.
 He realizes that driving while un- der influence of liquor is bad prac tice. He has known Brayne q num- Der Of years and has always found him a law-abiding citizen.

Imposing fines s150 and costs on Stanley Senk. aged 25. of 39 Pulaski avenue, and s100 and costs on Joseph Labinic, aged 24, of 357 High street, for violation of the liquor law on two counts each, Judge All ing stated in police court this morn ing that anyone convicted of violat- 236 Washington street may expect 10 go 10 jail He fixed a $500 bond in each case for appeal.
 The cases were heard earlier in the week and Attorney B. j.. Monkiewicz asked a continuance until today to allow him time to produce witness who lives in Nor wich, to testify to the amount of business of a legitimate nature. done in the store. This morning. the at torney said he would rest his case on the testimony presented at the trial, unless the court wanted 10 listen to a reading of the bills for merchandise sold.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods said there is no question of the guilt of Senk and Labinac. They are partners in the store, despite Labinac's claim that he only hangs around" the place and does not work there. He was wearing a white coat when the police entered last week and saw him with jar of liquor in his hand, yrb i~b rnure5 into SiDl- man was leaving the store very hurriedly, indicating that liquor was about to be sold or had been sold.
 Attorney Monkiewicz raised the question of illegality of the search by the police under the warrant be- the store. Judge filling told him not to waste time along that line be- cause Labinac was caught in the act of selling liquor and the address in the warrant is immaterial under those circumstances The attorney disputed Judge filings statement, saying there was no evidence that liquor was being transported or sold
 Continuing. he said the evidence was improperly obtained, and the testimony does not connect Labinac in any way with the alleged viola tion. It seems strange that the police should raid the store while the OWL CT was out, take the plumbing fix lures apart and attempt to convict two men on two counts each, on he strength of the finding of a small amount of alleged liquor. he said. Prosecuting Attorney Woods replied that the police would have

been justified In breaking down the door with a stone or a club if they saw the law being violated inside.
 Relative to Labinac and Senk. they both violated the law and their operations in the store have corrupt ed the community, Mir. Woods said. Men go in there during their meal hours and drink poison liquor. Sun day morning. when men should be in church, they are welcomed at this store where they become intoxicated. he said. Labinacs story about his bank account and his contemplated operation for appendicitis is un- true. ell is just as guilty as Senk and both should be punished by a jail sentence. Mir. Woods declared
