FINES TOTAL $50
 IN LIQUOR CASES
Tajamjer Assessed S200 and Ap- pealS, COTnlier Taxed S15O

For violating the liquor laws one ., man was fined s20O and costs, an other was penalized $l5O and costs and two more cases were continued until Monday morning by Judge Stanley J. Traceski in police court this morning.
 Wladislaw Tajamjer, 3S. 3S7 Bur ritt street received the heaviest fine when he pleaded guilty to having six five gallon cans of alcohol. onr five gallon can partly filled. five one gallon jugs of alcohol filled and one jug. as well as a milk bottle, partly filled with alcohol on his premises the night of August lO-11,
 The liquor. which was discovered by Sergeant McAvay and Officers Kiely and Collins, was cached under a pile of stones in his yard. It was uncovered and this morning was in troduced as evidence. there was slight difficulty in strengthening out the mans identity. as it was claimed by some of the police officers that he was a second offender. using an alias at this time. However. the proof of this was remote and he was tried as first offender.
 This man has been living in New Britain for 12 years, and the de- tectve bureau and the liquor squad . has evidence that during his entire period of residence in the city he has been selling booze" the prose- cutor charged While he does not retail it himself he has a woman at his place 10 do it for him, I do not know the relationship which exists between the man and the woman.
 That he was defiant about it at the time Of the seizure compels me to ask that a fine of S2O0 be inn posed. He also should be behind the bars, but I do not ask that of the court
 ' That the amount of liquor which a man has at his place has nothing to do with his sentence, was the con- |; ntion of Attorney L. J. Golan. rep resenting Taiamjier.
 If a man has ten barrels Of booze in his place when he is raid ed it does not make the offense greater than the one committed by a bottle toter. Both would be charg- ed with the violation of the liquor law on certain day. Each, in our hypothetical case, is a first offend er. The same penalty should be met ed out to each.'
 Jail is unWarranted in this case Judge Traceski contended, but be- cause of the amount of liquor found on the mans premises. he was in- clined to believe that the fine should be higher
 ,, There is no fixed rule in this court as to the amount of the fine" the judge concluded. T hereby fine the offender s2O0 and costs.' After sentence was pronounced, Attorney Colon filed an appeal. Bonds for Taiamjer were set at $500. A breach of the peace charge against the man was continued until August 26.

 The place of business which is conducted by th.s man has a bad reputation. He had a half dozen bottles in a corner of the cellarway. I believe that he should be fined $150 and costs,' the prosecution told the court.
