stein mentioned to the court some of the rights and duties tf the pro- scouting attorney in analyzing tes- timony on behalf of the .tate after Judge Traceski had interrupted him.
 Rules on Search Warrant
 Judg Traceski, announcing his finding, said the state should all ways have a strong case ore bringing a person into court on the charge of liquor law violation in his own home. because under the law the home is different than q place of business. Before a search warrant cGn be issued for home the inquiring officer must represent that he has evidence of the sale of liquor within 50 days prior to the issuance of the warrant. and in this case Officer Kiely testified that he did not have that evidence.
 As to Krause, Judge Traceski continued, he admitted that he owned the outfit and manufactured liquor, but in Niedzwieski's case. the state had not produced a bit of liquor owned by him. and there fore the charge of keeping with in tent to sell had not been proven. As to NlcdzWleSki'S claim that he did not speak English, Judge Tracesl;i said he was convinced that he ac- tudlly knew more English than he admitted.

Find Work For Unem- ployed," Is Paonessa's Ukase to Commissioners, Adding That Activities Must Be Started Not Later Than Next MOn- day-Patience Ends.

At conference with Mayor Faoncssa and Chairman Edward F. Hall of the board of finance and taxation last evening, plans were made for increased activities in tne park, water and public works de- partment, to be carried out through a tax levy of one-ffth of one mill, giving work to hundreds of unem- ployed.
 Mayor Paonessa. who up to last evening, had listened to the reports Of departments setting forth in the main that they have only sufficient funds to carry on normal activities, issued a mandate that work must be found, and ordered all depart lnents to be ready for operations not later than Monday.
 The water department will put on force of 10 laborers, replacing them with 10 new men after one weeks work, continuing this policy until funds give out. In the en- glneering department, sketches will be speedily prepared to begin subway and sewer operations which will give part-tlme work to about 100 men, and the park department with an au- ticipated grant of $15.000 will make ready to put about 80 men on the payroll for part-time work.
 Chairman Hall of the finance board does not anticipate objection from his fellow commissioners to the proposed tax levy, and it is also ex- rected that the common council will give unanimous approval to the relief measure.

 Attorney Martin F. Stempien, de. fense counsel, claimed a discharge on the ground that there was no evidence to substantiate the charges and in reply Mr. Gree, stein fayei NledzWieski as "a brazcn, bare-fac- ed liar" It was not reasonable, he declared, to believe that NiedzwiesEi would allow Krause to use his home as q distillery unless he was rrofit- ing from f, and if the police at tempted to convict man by tell ing untruths, which he did not be- lieve they would do, he would not present the case He was willing 10 let the case stand or fall on Niedz- wieskl's claim that he had carried on a conversation with Sergeants feeney and O'Mara in the Polish language, for If he lied about that and thereby committed perjury he would readily lie about something else.
 Judge Traceski interrupted Mr. Greenstein number of times dur Ing his argument. reminding him at one juncture that the cases were brought under the laws of Connec- ticut, not under the United States laws, and Mr. Greenstein replied that he intended to come to that point.
