the place the Gerkens would send out and
get one. For this they made no charge.
OF course a place such as this paid no
blackmail to the police. Pressure was
brought to bear to make the brothers
open up on Sunday so that the police
could get their usual rakeoff. This drove
them out of business two months ago.
Financially this was no hardship; they
had made a comfortable fortune. But
the thought that the place they had made
and maintained had passed out of their
hands was a great unhappiness to the
three. Their occupation was gone; they
did not long outlast 1t. A little while
ago one of the brothers was sent to a SAN
atorium. Ten days later the body OF
Carsten Gerken. the eldest brother, was
found in the bay. On the following day
John Gerken fell dead on Second ave-
nue. car. Thus tragically passes an hon
orable and useful family from business
in which there are few such.

Model Saloon, but It Paid No Police BIackmaI,

Saloon keepers and the anti-liquor ele

Sixth avenue, kept by the so-called Ger
ken triplets. They are three old German
brothers, te-bearded, kind faced, hon

they were not but called so for conven-
fence in grouping and because they looked
enough alike to have been. Their ideas
of saloon keeping they had brought from
the Fatherland, where liquor is decent
and honorable trade, and they never found
occasion to alter them in any degree.
Their saloon was almost like a club, with
well-d defined rules The habitual drunk
ard, the man who spent his earnings on
| drink while his wife sought him from bar
to bar, could buy no liquor from the Ger
ken triplets. He might sit in the COM
Portable back room and read the papers
and have soft drinks served to him, but
that was ALL No woman whatsoever could
get drink Of any kind on the premises,
rare distinction in that locality. In
fact the place was model saloon. More
over the brothers did much good. They
were charitable, giving generously for
good causes. When the ice famine was on
