Again Cautioned
Regarding Politics

Washington. Sept. Z tPe-Members
of the prohibition. customs and
coast guard services OF the treasury
department were cautioned today
not to engage in political activities
during the present campaign.
Seymour Lowman. assistant secre-
tary OF the treasury, sent tele-
graphic instructions to all prohibit

tention to the fact that the bureau
now operates under civil service
rules which prohibit such activities.
His caution was supplemented by
the civil service commission which
also notified prohibition employees

SMOKE SHOP OWNER
FINED FOR Selling
NdShboS Complained About
Store on Park Street

Pleading guilty to the charge OF
violation OF the liquor law IN
smoke shop at 33l Park street, Bior
johnson, aged ~, of 10 John street
was fined SIS and costs by Judge n.
P. Roche in police court today. As
sistant Prosecuting Attorney w. NJ.
Greensteln told the court that when
Sergeant O'Mara and Officers kiely
and I.iebler went into the smoke
shop last Saturday, a young man
who was either IA partner or an enl-
ploye was serving drink to Gus
toner. and at sight OF the police. he
hurled a bottle of alleged liquor in
an attempt to get it over partition
and out of sight, but it struck the
partition and fell to the floor. There
was d small amount OF alleged liquor
in it.
Complaints by residents OF the
neighborhood and policemen on the
beat led to the raid. Mr.. Greenstein
said. and according to the police the
place is not very we'll stocked.
johnson admitted that he sold
drinks for IS cents, and was the pro-
prietor. Attorney Hagearty. repre-
sentinK johnson, said the latter has
told him he would get out of the
business at once, and Judge Roche
remarked that the court was not
concerned with persons means of
livelihood SO long as it was within
the law. The fact that johnson had
been in the smoke shop only since
August IL was apparently begin
ner in the liquor business were cir
cumstances worthy of consideration
the court said.
Morris Milstein, aged 81, of A
Camp street. charged with non sup
port. agreed to pay his wife SIS a
week and Judge Roche continued the
case for one week in charge of the
probation officer with this UNDER
standing. He made it plain to Mil
stein that the court will order him
to post a bond or go to Jail in de-
fault of one. should he fail to keep
up payments. and 1t is also within
the power of the court to raise or
lower the amount, depending on
circumstances. MIR. Greenstein said
he had looked into the case since it
was continued yesterday and was
satisfied that Milstein had been a
resident Of New Britain for three
years and his wife. who lives in New
York. was willing to live with him,
but he was not agreeable to such an
Arrangement.

MIR. Merritt said There can be no
question that Connecticut since The
beginning of Governor Holcomb's
administration until the present
time has conducted its public bust
ness on these principles. 1t is
great achievement = to have
gone through great war which in
volved greatly increased eXpendi-
lures and in addition an issue by
the state of some $l.500.000 OF
bonds and yet within ten years after
the war to have paid, or provided
through the sinking fund for paying
all of these bonds SO that to-
day the state is practically out of
debt"
Speaking Of other republican
achievements, Congressman Merritt
said Our schools are equal to any
and our rural schools have Icing
been considered among the best.

that savings accounts for the year
ending Sept. 80. 1927 had increased
over the previous year by fifty
thousand dollars.
Makes Comparison
Turning to the national candi-
dates, Congressman Merritt drew
comparison between the affairs of
New York state and Connecticut
saying that 1.-THE public debt OF New
York has during his Governor AL
fred f. smith, administration about
trebled and produced staggering
lead of taxation.
my impression is that the intel
ligent and conservative voters of
this state will not turn over the
management of its affairs to the
democrats simply for the sake of
change -
Abiding to national affairs. Con-
gresham Merritt said The record
of the past eight years in federal
affairs has been very similar to that

like far-sighted and efficient man.
agement."
Debt Lowered
He declared among other things
that the national debt has been re-
duced. purchasing power of the col
lar increased and foreign relations
bettered.
Congressman Merritt concluded
his speech with comparison of the
two candidates. Smith, he conced-
ed. is honest and hard worker but
owes his political success to Tam
many Hall while Hoover can be de-
pended on to carry on the policies
of the republican party and Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge.
