for one year on Tuesday on the charge of transporting liquor. The offense was committed in Avon.
 Joseph Koslowski, 51, of 6s Broad street, was found guilty of keeping a slot machine and was
 fined s1O and costs. Sergeant T. J. Feeney of New Britain testified that he inserted a five cent piece in slot machine in koslowski's store on January and received one pack age of hints and two metal slugs. Koslowski told him at that time at o'clock that afternoon, about five hours before the sergeant tried it, and that the agent who installed it told him he would come around later and redeem all the slugs that were turned over to him for five cents each.
 Sergeant Feeney admitted on cross examination by Attorney Will liam NJ. Harney that he had not received any merchandise from NOciON . M III lFluI II lol lllC EihS'. Koslowski testified that the agent installed the machine but did not make any agreement about redeem ing the slugs. When he testified in the New Britain police court that such an agreement had been made, he was referring to a machine which he had in his store several years ago, he said. Attorney Harney contended that under the law, Kos lowslli was not guilty because there was no proof that he had used the machine for gambling purposes. He said there was no question Of the possibility of using it as a gambling device but unless it was proved that it had actually been used as such, the state had no case.
 Judge Jennings found KoslowsN guilty. The penalty was the same as was imposed in the New Britain police court and Koslowsli appeal cd. Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg was associated with Attorney Harney in the defense.

Gets Back to Work Again

London, Mar. ' tP -- The five
 get back to work today, tho French
 delegation having arrived Thursday night from Paris after a three weeks absence.
 Aristide Briand, foreign minister.
 held the rcins previously manipu- lated by Andre Tardicu. premier. Immediately on arriving he made his presence felt, arranging an early morning meeting with Prime Minister Macdonald, participation
 in q later conference of the first committee" at St. James palace, and luncheon with Secretary Stim-
 son at noon.
 There were reports from Paris
 that Brand came back in a more conciiatory frame of mind possibly prepared to make some concessions in behalf of a naval limitations agreement with Great Britain
 United States, Japan and Italy.
 From other reports as to the prob- able nature of these concessions some persons, close to the confer
 cncc, felt that an agreement was
 still far in the future.
 Renewed Hope Expressed Generally, however, there was re- ncwed hope and optimism, based principally upon the French being back and the fact that negotiations could be resumed,
 It was said here, without con- nrmation, that NJ. Briand would stress for the next few days Frances hope for security rather than her
 demand for 724,000 naval tons, and
 striving to gain from America an | agreement to consult the Kellogg
 pact signatories in event of war or threat of war, and to obtain from 1 Great Britain participation in Medi- | tcrrancau security pact.
 1nlimation already had been
 given that ir these political ar
 rangcmcnts could be secured the
 estimate of a French navy Of T2d,-
 ooo tons in 1886 could he reduced
 considerably. It was upon this rc- ! duction that limitation of the Brit l ish navy iu accordance with preNi- ous published low figures, and, con-
 sequently, the American parity ar rangemcut, depended.
 Failing political security ar 1 engagements. M. Briand, according 1 to certain Paris reports, may sug- | cest that France will, if necessary, agree 10 graduating it's building | program over the next five years ! SO that it will not prove 90 objeC-
 tionablc to the other powers. It vas
 speculative whether this offer if
 such an offer is made. would he of
 real benefit in reaching a naval | limitation agreement.
 France Italian Problem The Franco-Italian parity dis agreement still remained today, q
 cloud upon the horizon. but one
 which need not be dissipated until ] the Franco British relation has been settled. There were continued eN- pcctations of a compromise resolv-
 ing tho Amcmcan-Japaneso i'm
 passc. America and Great Britain
 seemed practically together on all 1 big issues.
 Another point of disagreement { has arisen within the experts Com-
 mittcc discussing submarines. where l France has asked for q certain num- 1 hcr of 3,o00-ton mhmcrsibles. Great i Britain and America asked an l. S00-ton limit on undersea craft,

Nair, who told the court that after the arrest, a number of New Britain young men volunteered 10 testify in police court that they had relations with the girl but when he informed them that they were equally as guilty as Blanca, they changed their minds about tcstifying.
 Fined After Appeal in Berlin
 John Miezanka of Pleasant street, New Britain. pleaded guilty 10 the charge of reckless driving and was fined $40 and costs Miezanka was given the same penalty in the Der lin town court but took an appeal and when the case was called earlier in the week, he was not present and a bond of $100 was forfeited.
