"ENery Or0lnance ana every statute vii be violated during the months of June. July and August. except that of Enow removal" said Attorney Daniel M. Pouzzner of New Haven, at {. meeting of the Xii wanis club at the Rurritt hotel to- day. Attorney Pouzzner. who form erly was on the staff of the Herald. is assistant prosecuting attorney for the city Of New Haven and has been characterized by Acting Mayor David l.. Nair. as ''the most eligible bachelor in New Haven"
 Attorney Pouzzner spoke in place of his brother-in-la Judge Morris D. Saxe He was introduced by Judge Sake. who said the only bad thing against the record of the youthful prosecutor is the fact that he once was newspaperman. Morris Noveck, henceforth known as "Morrie," and Rev. Theodore s Dunn, associate pastor of the South Congregational church, and hence forth known to the members as Ted" were introduced as "junior members"
 Mir, Pouzzners address included sidelights on the city courts. He made many humorous comments upon changes in, New Britain since | he left some years ago.
 He explained reasons why the laws are more frequently violated in the summer months than at any other time of the year He said the city court stands In its relation to the average person and especially to the newcomer in the country as more 1 important than the superior or su- rrere courts because it Is closer to the people, and it ia through the | city court the newcomer gets his first taste of the laws of America. Liquor Sellers Alibts
 The New Haven prosecutor re- counted amusing alibis given by per sons who are arrested for violating the ,iouor laws. He told Of the usual stunt Of keeping liquor in pan or pitcher in the kitchen sink so that it can be readily emptied when the police arrive. This scheme has I been spoiled he pointed out by the policemen opening the sink trap and having the contents analyzed.
 Prohibition Not Effective Referring to prohibition Mir. Pouzzner expressed his opinion that this condition has not yet become esta blished. "Before prohibition. he said. "and hy this I do not be- leve it has taken effect yet there were but three violations of the Ii. auor law: they were the selling to minors, selling without a license and selling outside of the specified hours Now we have the laws against manufacturing. owning liquor with intent to sell. and transportation"
 Referring to transports ton he ex' piained that according to the Con. necticut state law. if a persor transports less than Ave gallons ot liquor the burden is on the state tc prove that it was being transported for the purpose of sale. 50 if you fellows transport less than five gal. Ions, you are not assumed guilty ot selling under the state law" he said but that is not q federal law-look out for those federal fellows"
 One story which he said actual, happened in New Haven court and was so witty that the judge dis. charged the man with a fine instead of sending him 60 jail was when 8 man Of Hebrew extraction was found with 50 gallons of liquor in his home. Asked by Mr. Pouzzner wha, he was doing with it, he said he was advised by his doctor to take it fo, j rheumatism. Pressed for the amount prescribed he said it was from three to five teaspoonfuls 9 day.
 When the man realized that this did not seem logical he changed his testimony by saying he was keeping it to celebrate the wedding of 6 niece. Asked in surprise by Mir Pouzzner. Do you mean to say tha' 40 guests of Jewish extra ction vii drink 50 gallons of acohol in ont wedding celebration the man an. swered, Well, I've invited two Irishmen.
 He told of another case where { ,notorist was arrested for rockies: driving, eNading responsibility ane violating several traffic ordinances On the witness stand his wife indig nantly said, My husband was not tt blame for what happened" Asked why he was not she declared. witl emphasis, He was drunk" "A To of help she was to her husband. dryly commented the speaker.
