VIOLATlyGuQUORLAW
More Fines Dealt Out By Judae
 Burpee This Morning.

When the state got through with
 George Urkart and Frank May this
 morning for violating the liquor laws,
 Uncle sam, represented by Emil 0.
 Marggratf, internal revenue collector, stepped up to them and made hqui-
 ries which may lead to another pose
 cutiOn. They were charged on three
 accounts first of keeping opel place where liquors were reputet to
 be sold, second, of keeping open with intent to sell and third, with selling | without having license. Gerge
 Byrnes and oJseph May were chag-
 ed with dispensing liquor wttllsnt
 having license. The evidence vas substantially that which was glvn yesterday in the case of Wilbert Mal- sicotte, who was fined $20 and coss
 by Judge Burpee. Sergeant FagaI
 who led the raid Sunday night, sah
 the place is at 166 South Main streel
 in the I.illey building, and that it's reputation is the worst in the city. i, Byrnes was playing the piano when they got in, and the others were en- gagged about the place either serving or drawing beer. There were about twenty-five men there. May told the sergeant that he had been connected with the place about three months and Urkart said he bought out one of the original owners seven months ago. After the officers who took part in the raid had testified. Super numerary Officer Luke Bowling went on the stand.
 His story was that he was talking with Officer George Gabriel OH Ex- change place Sunday forenoon about II o'clock, when Urkart, whom he did not then know came along and asked Gabriel if he could get police man to do duty at 166 South Main street. Gabriel asked Bowling if he cared to earn few dollars and Bowling said he would just as lief be-. come Rockefeller. He went to the police station and told Superintendent Beach he had secured job in the Lilley building The superintendent asked him what was going on there and the officer said he did not know but supposed 1t was wedding. He had some trouble in locating the place. When he got there it was noon and Urkart told him the place was d Polish club room. and he wish ed him to preserve order until mid night. The pay was to be $5. There was no occasion for interfering with the conduct of any of the persons present, but two fellows got sparring and the officer put them out. They were not intoxicated, however, but he deemed it prudent to nip in the bud such exhibitions.
 About 9 o'clock he was thunder struck to see Sergeant Pagan and half a dozen policemen enter and clean out the place. The sergeant testified that they found seven double cases of beer. gallon of gin. two gallons of whiskey. three gallons Of wine and three pints of brandy. This concluded the case for the state. There was no defense and in his re- marks to Judge Peasley, Prosecuting Attorney stated that the accused were surely up against 1t because they could not buy out club. nor could they buy out a state charter. To him it seemed to be straight business proposition, and if they got stuck 1t was their own fault not his. Attorney Minor, who represented the defense made no statement. Urkart, Nav and Byrnes were fined $25 each. or in all S35O. An appeal was taken.
