said. explaining the testimony Of the
police that appearances indicated
that liquor was kept in the house
and passed through the window to
the store.
Patrolman Thomas Lee testified
that he has seen men OF drinking
habits in and about the store, and
he has arrested some Of them. A
lookout Is employed ~ Lysakow-
ski to watch for the police. the Of
ficer said. Sergeant O'Mara also tes-
titled that men congregate in the
store and at the time Of the raid a
small card game was in progress but
the players were not arrested. They
dispersed after being warned not to
gamble.
Attorney B. ]. Monkiewicz ap-
peared for Lysakowski and claimed
the state had not proven reputation
or sale. Every detail bad been ex-
planned satisfactorily, he said. but
Judge SAKE felt that the evidence
was sufficient for conviction.
FfIenski Also Chips $3.50
Alexander Filenski, aged 81. OF 80
Albany avenue, was fined $3.50 and
costs for violation of the liquor law
in his home. Judge SAKE said there
was no substantiation of the charge
of reputation, however. During his
argument for a discharge, Attorney
Harry NJ. Ginsburg, representing
Filenski, said the case was one OF
the weakest he had ever seen in the
local court, and Peter Swider OF S6
Alden street, on whose complaint the
warrant was issued, was lone Of the
worst liars ever to come into police
court and made "a sad attempt to
convict man."
Swider testified that he became SO
exasperated at coming home from
work day after day and finding his
wife intoxicated after having visited
Mrs, Filenski or entertained the lat
ter, that he went to the police and
made a complaint.He said on one &C.
casion he was present when man
named Stanley purchased a drink OF
LIQUOR in Filenski's home. When At
torney Ginsburg cross-exlmined him.
however, he tried to leave the wit
ness stand, saying he did not want to
have an argument and he had
enough" but Judge SAKE told him
to remain seated until excused.
Sergeants McCue, OMara and
Flynn went to Filenski's home last
Saturday afternoon between 2:SO
and o'clock and served the war
rant. Filenski was in the backyard
and on being asked VIII ether or not
he had liquor in the house, replied
affirmatively and invited the officers
to 20 in and find it. Sergeant on Mara
found two jugs of home made liquor
and Sergeant Flynn fouad one five
gallon jug partly filled, In bed
room. A "stilr' and quantity OF
mash were also found.
Filenski, according to the police
said he made and used the liquor
but did not sell it. Questioned as
to the reason he had such guam
tity on hand, he did not reply
Sergeant OMara said. In his own
defense, Filenski denied that he
sells liquor or had ever sold 1t.

NEW FLOOD THREAT
ST|RS ARKANSAS.
White and Black Rivers Are
Reported Rising Near
HeadWaters.
By the Associated Press.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. August 15.-
With the Arkansas River receding
from Fort Smith south, a new flood
threat was developed along the
White and Black Rivers today, as
both streams were reported rising
rapidly near their headwaters, as a
result of heavy rains through southern
Missouri and north Kansas yesterday
The rise along the White and the
Black, which empties into the former
stream. will not affect the upper
Arkansas. but will add to it's volume
near the Mississippi. A fall of 8 OF
a foot was registered here yesterday
and H. s. Cole, Government meteor.
ologist here, said the river would con-
tinue to recece for several days. Heavy
rains in Kansas late last week have
caused the Arkansas to rise in it's
upper reaches, but before the new rise
reaches here, the river will have re-
ceded greatly.
Fear that repairs made at the Pen
dleton and Medford crevasses had suf-
fered heavily from the present rise
were expressed by H. r. Rice of the
levee division of the Arkansas Flood
Commission.
More than 100 900 acres in Chicot
and Desha Counties have been inun-
dated, but less than 200 families have
been affected. All are being cared for
by the Red Cross.
