club for violation of the law in selling
cigars from the nickel-in-the-slot machine
has been amicably adjusted and there will
be no prosecution. District Deputy Col
lector James c. Fox reported the fact of
the machine being in the rooms of the
club, about two weeks ago, to Collector
Byxbee, and was instructed to seize it.
The machine was returned the same dav
and the club members informed that thev
