yesterday explaining that the rea-
son the United States did not win

Your correspondent promptly set
out to remedy this condition. A
coach was secured, and the first
steps taken by your correspondent

The use of the hard-rimmed
racquet may be favored by those
who would like to rise to great

1t may seem impossible that a

nor Cross last year and passed by the 1883 Legislature after a hectic effront was made to overturn the proposed system of liquor control in favor of the older method of county commissionership regu- lation. Whether the courts decision will cause special session of the General As sembly to be called remains to be seen.
 The court, we presume, will not be so concerned with the rights of the various types of permittees authorized by our law. It will be intent on ascertaining the pur- pose of the framers of the law and whether this purpose defeats the constitutionality of state law. Although Governor Cross has steadfastly refused to convene spe- cial session to deal with the liquor ques- tion, there is no doubt now but what he may have to do this very thing. That depends upon the finding of the constitu- tional court. If it should adjudge our control act unconstitutional there would only be one recourse left to us - a special session to rectify the error. Whether this session could be limited merely to remov ing the features that make the law un- constitutional, if it really is, is another serious question to be considered.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-23
The Law On Parade

Connecticuts liquor control act is doing one thing. It is permitting the law to be exercised to it's fullest extent. Some days ago we were treated to the sight of the druggists of the state banding for the purpose of securing an interpretation or our control act that would give them wider latitude in the retailing of liquors. When eventually carried to the highest court in our state, the Supreme Court of Errors, decision was found for the druggists. In short they were granted more privileges than package stores now hold under their particular type or permit.
 Nothing loath to accept the gauntlet flung down the package store owners ot Connecticut proceeded to organize and engage counsel. Attorney Thomas J. Spelacy, as attorney for the aggrleved package store owners, immediately se- cured from the federal court restraining order which prevented state officials or the liauor commission from interfering with package stores that sold liquor after 6 D. rn., daily, or on Sundays, or in small quantities. That the constitutionality of the Connecticut liquor law was at stake was apparent to Judge Edwin $. Thomas of the federal court and he so notified Chief Justice Martin J. Manton of the second circuit of the federal court of appeals.
 Therefore, Chief Justice Manton has announced that he, Judge Thomas, and Judge Carroll C. Hincks, also of the fed eral district court, will sit as constitu- honal court on March %. This tribunals lecision should end for all time any doubt as to the constitutionality of our much discussed liquor control act, drawn up by special commission appointed by Cover

 A dark. handhome stranger de- scended on the peaceful South world istrict with story that any self respecting A m erican "con man" would shame to relate. A number of the villagers swa'- lowed the story. and begged for more.
 Major Leonard T. Crane. KIM C.B.E., was tho title the engageing stranger assumed for his opera tions. The first initials mean that he was a Kings Messenger, and the other that the King had made him n Commander of the British Elm Dire.
 DishOnOrcd Check. Crane agrerted that n check of his for q mere f36O had been dishonored by q joint stock bank. So incensed was the major over thls business that he threatened the bank with proceedings. The bank became frightened. he claim cd and offered paltry few thou- sand pounds in settlement.
 Then the banks offer grew un- til it got in the millions. But by this time. the Major claimed, the cvrowd had become aware of the situation. And the crown had no liking for this particular bank, because 1t had not dealt in War Loan securities during the war. So With the Kings active assistance, said Crane, the bank was offering more than fl00,000,000 to hush the matter up.
 Of this imposing sum, King George was due to receive per- sonaIly, some f35.000. Cranes share, he claimed. amounted to f43, 000, ,O00. out of which he was going to present each of the per- sons who temporarily financed him with f500,000. And of course he had numerous, important-lo look ing documents to prove his asser- tions. He got f5,000 from the Kings Signature. Some of these papers bore th5 alleged signature of the king him self. an dothers the names of highly priced members of the Ju. dietary. So convincing were the documents displayed by Crane, that his dupes believed him the intimate friend of kings. judges and bank presidents.
 So strong was this belief in Crane, that Mrs Duke, the daugh- ter of local hotel owner, prom ised to marry him, although she was already married, and living apart from her husband. That could be easily fixed, Crane told her. He would just have his friend Lord Merriyale, president of the divorce court. attend to the mat. ter.
