Three Convictions This Morn ing in Liquor Trials.-More
 This Afternoon
States Witness Gun a Cigarette
 Case

Today is a busy day at Putnam citv Court. Six cases arising out of inc raid conducted on Saturday by State Police of three barracks were brought before Judge Geissler and there was one vehicle case in addition. Three cases were tried this morning and then court was adjourned until 200 D. m.
 The first of the morning cases was that of Philip Desautel of Baliou street, charged with owning and keeping liquor and with sale. De- sautel pleaded guilty to both counts and Prosecuting Attorney Johnson re- commended the usual fine. Irving H. Niron. counsel for the defendant said that his client had sold the liquor merely because he had wife and five children to support and was un- able to get work. A fine of S2O0 was imposed on the first count and A thirty day jail sentence on the sec ond. which was suspended for six months.
 Edward Dubois of Pomfret street pleaded guilty to charges of owning and keeping and sale. His counsel, Attorney Miron. again pleaded the bad conditions in the mans home and said that he was totally unable to nav his fine. He stressed the fact that in both cases the defendants had turned to the sale of liquor, only as a last defense against starvation.
 In imposing a fine of S200 on the first count and thirty day suspended sentence on the second, Judge Geis- sler remarked that the court could not be lenient to every man who took to selling illegal spirits just because he was out of work.
 Pleads Not Guilty
 The next case was that of Ernest Beaudry, 20. of SC School street who entered a plea of not guilty to the same charges as in the two previous cases-owning and keeping and sale. Officers Fourier and Scranton of the Danielson State Police barracks gave evidence of having raided the home of Beaudry last Saturday. of hay ing found ITS bottles of alleged home brew beer, and of having waited until Beaudry returned home. and of then placing him under arrest. Then Cleo Mayer, 24, of Pomfret was called. He said that he was farmer but was employed by Lieutenant Urquhart of the Danielson barracks to obtain evil dence He testified to going to the Beaudry house on July 30th with Officer Scranton and purchasing six bottles of beer which he paid for with a two-dollar bill given him by the officer. During the cross-examina- tion of Mayer by Attorney Miron, which was q savage questioning pune tuated by objections from the prose cutting Attorney, Mayer admitted that he was known as McGee and said that he received a salary of $150 a month from the State Police.

Two Wet Candidates Differ Only
 On Its Ratification

Trenton, N. J., July P(-With wet blanks in both the republican and democratic platforms relegating prohibition to the background as an issue, lines were drawn today to fight out the New Jersey senatorial battle on ratification of the London naval treaty.
 The treaty was pushed into the foreground as an issue yesterday when the Democratic State conven- ton adopted a resolution supporting Alexander Simpson, it's senatorial candidate, in his opposition to rati- fcation of the naval pact.
 Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow the republican candidate, who was a delegate 10 the naval conference, urged ratification of the treaty in one of his primary campaign speeches.
 The wet plank was hammered into the republican platform with the gavel of Governor Morgan F. Larson, chairman of the convention.
 State Senator s. Rusling Leap of Salem, a supporter of Representa- tive Franklin w. Fort, dry candidate defeated by Marrow in the primary election, led the attacks of the drys with a resolution to strike out the entire prohibition plank. When no one seconded the resolution, Cover nor Larson called for a vote on the entire platform.
 The roll was called and the en- tire platform with the wet plank securely in place was adopted 95 to 13.
 The democratic platform includ ing the wet plank was adopted with out debate.
