Cell Room at Police Station Bulges With Goods Seized
 In Putnam
State Officers Partially Dry up Quine.
 baug Valley

The big arm of the law suddenly stretched forth over the Quinebaug River valley last Thursday afternoon and evening. Like great big sponge 1t soaked up gallons upon gallons of liquid containing more than one-half of one percent alcoholic content. Most of the brews of the pre- Nolstead era were in the assortment of beers, wines and liquors absorbed, but their purity has not been, and probably never will be, tested
 Bulge With Booze
 Over in the police station the sides of the cell room and two cells fairly hulged with the assorted quantities of distilled and undistilled liquor that came from the four raids successfully conducted here. A smell of stale beer permeated the building. Never since prohibition went into effect has there been such an array of evidence collect cd as was delivered by the truck at the police station door. Yes, it was as wet as the Atlantic Ocean in the basement of the municipal building.
 Friday was the day of reckoning. AN bt Ht Na1t Nan AftAN HA E4UKt0e Rayno, Providence street. Ravno's place gave up one of the larger quanti. ties and assortments. He pleaded gull ty to a sale on October 10th and to owning and keeping with intent to sell. fine of S2o0 with costs of S2S.77 and a suspended jail sentence was imposed upon Rayno and, after trip to the bank. he paid.
 Joseph Rayno. brother of Eugene. was also charged with sale and with keeping with intent to sell His sen tence was the same as his brothers. but the costs were bit lower, only $7.77, as the extra costs were for the same place and goods Joseph remain ed in custody while Eugene. accompan- jed by an officer, went to get the four hundred plus.
 Had Plenty
 The next was Alfred Bardier. It would take some time to check up the quantity taken from Bardier's place and Rayno's place to determine which had the largest amount of stuff on hand. Both had plenty Bardier was charged with three sales and with own- ing and keeping. He also pleaded guilty. A fine of $200 on each of two counts with costs of S2s.T7 was Bar dier's bit. He also drew a suspended jail sentence of thirty dsys. It took n trip to the bank for Bardier to get the cash, S42S.77, but he got it.
 Peter Murray was small deal CT compared to the north end mer- chants. Peter lives down in the shad- ow of the bridge over the Quinebaue on Arch street. Peter was fined $200 and the same costs and given a sus- pended jail sentence. In addition to this Judge Geissler made Peter prom ise to leave town. You don't belong here" said the court, land I suspend the jail sentence upon your promise to get out" Peter said he would get. The judge told the police to notify him if Peter was not resident of some other place than Putnam within a month.
 Then came Joseph King. Joe lives in house back of the State Armory.

final round of the London tennis
championship at the Queens Club

Tilden was evidently of the opin-
ion that too much success was bad
for his young protege and played
his strongest game against him with
the result that for the first time
this week the lG-year-old Kansas
City star was on the defensive.
Coen. however, kept cool head
and the quiet dcmeanor which al
ready has made him a popular fig
ure and defended his court stoutly
against the lightning-like drives and
services of his opponent and never
lost an opportunity to make a win
ming drive on his own.
The crowd was roofing shrilly for
Coen when he won the fifth and
sixth games Of the second set after
losing the first four in a row. The
youth player took the two game
with series of brilliant fore hand
drives to Tilden's fore hand court.
but could not keep up the pace and
Tilden took the set and the match,
thus going into the final.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS
0. K. CROSSING PLAN
Approve Examinations in
Conference With
PaOnessa

Representatives Of the New Haven
railroad who conferred today with
Mayor Paonessa expressed great in
terest in the mayors proposal to
eliminate railroad grade crossings at
East, ALLEN and South streets. and
found no objection to the scheme
worked out by State Highway COM
missioner John A. Macdonald.
The proposal which is to be made
TO the public utilities commission is
that an overhead crossing be erected
between the East and Allen streets
crossovers. thereby eliminating both.
and that an underpass be con-
structed to do away with the South
street crossing. Hearing on these
suggestions has been asked by the
common council on motion OF the
mayor
Supts. J. J. Casey and N. F..
o'HanIon. who met with the mayor.
said the railroad company is pre-
pared to proceed with permanent re-
pair OF Main street crossing when
ever the city wishes it done. The
delay is occasioned by the inability
Of the Connecticut Co. to get ma
terials for its share Of the work IL
is said
