While strolling around last night Nc
Collum called at Lonergan's, rs East
Sixth avenue. He approached the closed
door between the pool room and joint, a
man took a squint at him through the
port hole, and invited him inside. The
chief accepted the kind invitation and
walked in. Crowding his way to the
bar he leaned on it, and was seemingly
waiting for his turn at the foaming
brew. Several customers called for
hop and glasses of something with
collar on it" were passed out, cash
taken in and the amount jabbed up on
the cash register. After a while McCol-
1um decided that he had seen enough,
and walked behind the bar Striking
a match he discovered that the keg
from which the refreshments were be-
ing pumped bore the legend, "Schlitz."
It has been very noticeable of late that
"Schlitz" is a word not liked by the
new chief, SO a gang of officers were
called in and the place raided Two
kegs of beer, two jugs of booze and two
bottles of a similar brand were discov-
cred. The bar and fixtures were also
taken. While the police were raiding
the place, and after the crowd of rs or

a valise in his hand came and hammer
ed on the door, He made SO much noise
that the officers let him in. why don't
