NO MONKEYING In 1T.
The Crusade Against Liquor Law ViO-
lators May be Extended.
ELEVEN MORE MEN ARE ARRESTED.
Inspector McKelvy Says he Will Suspend
Operations for Time.
RESULT OF YESTERDAYS HEARINGS

The crusade against wholesale liquor
dealers by the police department went on
merrily, yesterday.
The greatest activity was manifested in
the Third and Southside district, where
seven persons were given ride in the hur-
ryup wagon. In the first police district a
whole bundle OF warrants was sent out, but
only four men were brought in. However,
to-day many more arrests are expected.
There is possibility that the war will not
stop in Pittsburg. but will cross to the
Northside. The police officials wondered
last night why nothing had been done in
Allegheny, where it is well known many of
the wholesale houses are so situated as to
easily carry on the side-door business and
sell by the drink.
Leopold Brown was the first one to arrive
at Central station last night. His place of
business is at 37S Fifth avenue, where, it is
said, his retail trade was a handsome one.
His bail bond was soon adjusted, and he
only said au revoir as he left, TOR he will re-
turn again.
G. H. Neeley, who dispensed ''smiles"
at No. First street, next appeared. He
was there because his license did not give
him the privilege of selling such small
"smiles" as ne was in the habit of pushing
over the counter. 1t was also darkly hinted
that he allo wed smiles to be imprisoned on
his premises in "growlers, both human
and Of tin.
MISTAKES IN THEIR READING.
of
another poor man who had not read Alright
his permission to We nd liquors. He gave
bond for his appearance this morning.
AtNo. Grant street John Drew sold liquors,
but last night he found pressing business at
Central station and this morning he will be
given a chance to square himself.
At the hearings yesterday Charles Larkins, of
3I Milwood avenue, and II Berman Rentz. of 40
Fayette street. were each held for court. The
case of William G. Pohl. 3l3 Thrty-third street,
was held under advisement, and those of 2.
ByrneS and Charles Campbell. of 25Ol Penn ave-
nue., were continued until 8 o'clock to-day.
Inspector McKelvey. of the South51de, yes
terday. first caused the arrest of John PEBBLES.
which finished up the first batch of ten informa-
tions for selling without license. The inspector
then changed his tactics, and had six infOrma-
tions made out agai nst wholesalers in different
sections of the Southside, for violating the
liquor laws. The men, whose names are given
below, were arrested and gave $500 each for
hearing along with the other wholesalers, be-
fore Alderman Succop, to-day, at P. N.
Inspector McKelvy said last night: I'VE
have arrested seven more to-day, and will now
rest on our arms for time.
OUGHT TO BE A WARNING.
81 think that the arrests made should be
warning enough to others engaging in illegal
selling or violating the liqnor laws. 1 do not
glory in sending these men to the workhouse.
I don't want to do 1t. 1t pains
me to have the necessity arise for
taking such action, and no one would
be more happy than L to see them all enjoy
their liberty. l am here to do my duty, and If.
after a warning they then still violate the laws.
then they must suffer the consequences, and
can blame no one but themselves. shall have q
close watch kept on all wholesalers, and they
needn't think because we have temporarily
suspended operations that they can go on
violating the law If they do a square business
no fears of arrest may De entertained, but If
they do not. they may expect some day to have
another grist of arrests made"
