THEY KEPT HIS $4,000.
But City OmciaIs Would Not Permit
Ben Levy to Operate PooIrOom.

Ben Levy, an operator of poolrooms,
sues Kansas City, Kan, for $1,000, in
terest on that amount since July %,
1905. and the costs in the case because
the city officials arrested him and re-
fused to let him do business after he
had paid the amount of his license of
$4,000 for doing business. The suit Is
filed nthe United States circuit court.
Levy makes some serious charges
He says that a conspiracy was entered
into on the part of the city officials
with rivals in the pool selling and
bookmaking business to shut him up
and put him out Of business.
He was allowed to remain open just
two days, and on the second day was
placed under arrest and prevented
from carrying on his business in which
he was engaged at and Il Central
avenue. On the 29th day of July, 1905,
the city council of Kansas City, Kan,
passed an ordinance levying a yearly
license tax upon the business of book
making and pool selling and providing
for its regulation. The yearly tax was
$4,000. Levy alleges that on the same
day that the ordinance was passed he
rendered the amount of the years tax,
which was accepted, and opened up
quarters at 3 and L Central avenue.
The place was fitted UP in an expensive
manner to- attract trade, says Levy.
On the 31st of July, 1905, he was ar
rested by force, says the petition, and
by threats of repeated arrests kept
from entering and continuing his bust
ness. No attempt was made to tender
him return Of his $4,000, though he
made demand for repayment of the
amount of his license, is alleged.
It continues: THAT the said acts of
