DANBURY. Conn.. Jan. 2l.—In
one of the greatest liquor raids ever
made in Connecticut,. a. squad of
state policemen. directed by Ser-
zeant John Kelly. of the Ridgeneid
barracks. seized whiskey of an esti-
mated value of $150. 000 late last
night. upon a farm in Beaver Brook
district. on the outskirts of this city.
Isaiah R. Llnneii. on whose
place the liquor was found. was
bought to police headquarters in
this city by not. officers at z o'-
'clor_k this morning and subjected to
lengthly questioning.
The liquor seized included 159
barrels and 328 cases of whiskey.
About 500 empty barrels and many
empty bottles were discovered by
the elders. It is supposed that the
place was the headquarters of a
whiskey gang extensively engaged in
buying. "cutting" and bottling con.
traband liquor for distribution

The Comments—The
Story of One Negro
"Where will we be at‘"'the time of

“Will the trolley car stop so we
can see what is going on?"
"is it going to be pitch dark Just
like night time?"
These and many other questions
were tired at Conductor Charles
Sweet on. the west-bound Stumiord
trolley. this morning. Just before the
time set for the eclipse.
Although the trolley was not
crowded. these passengers who did
ride at the title. registered enough
enthusiasm for several cars full of
people. '
Even as the trolley swung down
lhe line the men and women in the
car craned their hooks to see
through the windows. Just how thu-
moon was trying to "put one over
on" the sun. l-Ixcued exclamations
were heard from time to time:
"Look how dark it is getting!"
“Looks like a Siberian sunset or
something. doesn' t it?"
"See that whole family out there
in their front yard in a row staring
up at the sun!"

Announcement of‘ the increase in

Oil company has not received any
news of an increase up to press-time.
The Standard Oil representatives
said gasoline which had been whole»

the tax is now wholesaling at 19 1.2
cents. This bring! the retail price
up to 23 cents. The Gulf Refining
