OWNER OF ''DREAnLAND"
 FINED IN LIQUOR CASE
Onser Crosby Pays 9lO0 and Costs as Result Of Raid by State
 Police squad.

Omer Crosby. proprietor Of the "Dreamland" on the turnpike was found guilty of having liquor in his possession with the intent to sell, and fined $l00 and costs in the Newing ton town court last night. The case was heard before Judge Stanley Wells. Costs amounted to $11.S6. The dance hall was raided last Saturday night by six state police men in charge of Paul Lavin. Lavin produced nine bottles containing al- legged liquor which were found on the premises. Three bottles were found in the possession of those con- nected with the inn. The rest was found on the tables of the guests. There was no evidence shown in court that the liquor was bought at the dance hall.
 The charge against Vincent Quinn was dropped as it was proven to the court that he was not an owner or partner of the place.
 In the first finding of the court both men were found guilty and fined $50 each. They took an appeal from this judgment. The case was reopened and Quinn was discharged as Crosby assumed the entire blame. The men were represented by At torney Lonergen of Hartford.

WEATHER AFFECTS
 CALLS FOR TIME
(. Of (. Service Used More Ere.
 quently On Fair Day

More people are interested in the correct time on pleasant days than they are on days which are not so pleasant. This is what Miss Gladys Weir. assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, says.
 When the telephone and telegraph companies stopped telling time to subscribers and patrons, the Cham Der of Commerce installed an cleo tric clock and offered the time serv- ice" to all New Britain people.
 Since then. there have been thou sands of calls asking for the correct time. Most of the calls come around meal times or in the evening. Secre- tary Ralph H. Benson usually an- swers number of calls bet ween 8:15 and $50 Then the calls grad uaIly slow up until shortly after II when a new avalanche starts, con- tinuing until about ].
 The calls again dwindle to a low mark during the afternoon. gain at S:30 and continue until the Chamber closes for the day at , o'clock.
 StI dliEtly tHouku, dltuO OuSu tAt offices are not open in the evenings, unless someone drops in of his or her own accord. there seems to be a continuous demand for time infor- nation whenever there is anyone there to answer the telephone. Others in the building report the telephone ringing almost continu- ously in the evening.
 The weather has a decided effect upon these questions, according to Miss Weir, who says there is not nearly as much interest in the time Of day an rainy day.
 Several days ago Miss Weir made . check of calls during the day. She found that on Tuesday when the sun was shining and the weather was warm. there were 36 calls. Other fair days the number of calls go 10 40 or even higher. Two days last week which weSe cold and un- pleasant there were 27 calls one day and 29 the next.
 Miss Weir believes the difference Is due to peoples anxiety to catch buses, trains or trolleys on pleasant days. On stormy days they stay home, he says, and many Of them prepare their meals according to the factory whistles.

CITY WILL CONDEMN WAY
 FOR BARNESDALE SEWER
Drastic Step Promised If Appeal Is Taken From Benefits and
 Damages.

The department of public works has abandoned hope of securing rights of way for the construction Of sanitary sewer in Barnesdale, an improvement which has been sought for many years and will ask the board of compensation and assess nlent to proceed with the formal fix ing Of benefits and damages. If. through appeal or other reason, fur ther delay is encountered. conden- nation proceedings will be started.
 In the preliminary work of map ping out the sewage route. tentative agreements were entered into with the owners of the Sandberg tract, and it was believed that satisfactory adjustment had been made. It was later learned that a s6,000 cash settlement would be demanded and this halted operations at once.
 The department of public works had hoped to relieve the unemploy- ment situation this spring through operations on this job.

Wild Bill Hallahan, two promising
minor league pitchers going I'D this
spring for another trial
The cards are recalling Haliahan
from the Texas league championship
club, Houston. and the Yankees have
purchased Wells from Birmingham,
the Southern Association leaders.
Both left handlers, they have had
their blings before and with every
thing apparently in their favor. fail
ed. The Cardinals couldn't under
stand IL with Hallahan, and both
Washington and Detroit tried Wells.
George Moriarty, then with the Tix-
ers, declared the big Birmingham
portsiders the puzzle of baseball,
seemingly possessing every neces-
sary attribute except the ability to
win.
An inferiority complex, some have
termed il.
Nevertheless. both swept their
leagues last season. Hallahan turned
In % victories to ~ defeats. He
struck out PA batters in 276 in
nings, something like a. more than
pazzy Vance whitfield in the National
league during the campaign. He
led also in earned run average with
two and a quarter runs a game.
Wells, too, led his loop, winning
25 games against seven losses and
was instrumental in Birmingham
winning the pennant. while Halla-
han. aided by veteran Jim Lindsey,
was carrying Houston to the top.
Then the two clubs met in the
Dixie series, the annual playoff be-
tween the two circuits for southern
supremacy, and in the first game
Wild Bill met Big Eddie. Wells had

back on the Houston lot Hallahan
evered II up and his team finally
won the series with three out OF
five.
Hallahan didn't get his Wild Bill
appellation through any Texas prai-
RE bad land experiences. He has
always had trouble locating the
plate.
Ar "a tail. ganglinE younrster he
