LICENSE IS
REVOKED
HAD BEEN SELLING LIQUOR
AT LUNCH COUNTER
Allowed Women to Enter by Back
Door and Drink at Counter-Oth-
efs are Guilty of Same Offense-
Investigations to Follow

The case of Mr. SamnIsenberg on
the charges preferred against by
Marshall Hebron for selling beer to
women in his saloon on Washington
Avenue, was tried by the council last
Tuesday night and after hearing both
sides of the case, the council voted to
revoke his license.
The testimony of the negro brought,
out before the council was that they
did drink beer at the lunch counter,
in small room in the same building
as is the saloon, but partitioned off
from the saloon and having only one
access to the saloon, and that through
door in the south end They said
they paid their money to the porter
of the saloon at this lunch counter.
Several policemen testified to the
same thing, and in answer to the
question of the attorney, Tom Lsnes
said he saw women enter the back
room of Shanahan's saloon, and also
that of Wreys, that he saw them
have buckets of beer Mr. Moody
testified. also did Mr. Campbell, that
they saw women drinking beer at the
lunch counter in Russell & Jones sa-
loon
Attorney Bogen then asked tn
council to postpone action and he
would prefer charges against the rest
who the testimony showed y ere as
guilty as Mr. Isenberg This some
of the councilmen refused to % a.
they were then trying Mr.. Isenberg
and later they would try the others,
if charges were made agai2st thcn.
Mr.. Wilczinslli said that as the pro1s
showed others were as guilty as Mr.
Isenberg that he would move to dis
miss the case. The motion was
voted down.
Councilman Vincent stated that
the saloon men asked the council ii
he understood il right, that when any
one did not live up to the law to re-
yoke his license, H said that he did
not know Mr.. Isenberg in this mat
ter, and was not trying him as a
man. but his business. for not com
plying with the dram shop chapter,
and he, with the evidence produced
before him, would vote to revoke his
license.
Mr.. Isenberg made a statement 10
the council in which he said that Il
was not his intention to break the
law, and had he not believed the
lunch counter right and that women
could take beer there while eating, he
would not have allowed it. Again liz
did not see why they wanted to ar
rest him and no one else, for he had
been specifically pointed out by Off
GERS.
Councilman Robertshaw stated he
was sorry the officers had not done
their duty and arrested every one
they saw breaking the law, but that
could not excuse Mr. Isenberg or pre-
vent him from doing his duty in this
case as a sworn member Of the coun-
Gil.
Mr. Mcmahon moved that the
charges be sustained and that the l.;
cense of Mr.. Isenberg be revoked.
Mr. Bogen said it would do no
good as Mr.. Isenberg would take an
appeal and as his license is ont in

TIMES CHECKS
NOT FOUND
DEFIED THE BEST EFFORTS
OF ALL SEARCHERS
They Were All Taken From Their
Hiding Places Last Thursday by
The Times Man, Accompanied by
a Committee of Citizens

Last Thursday The Times man
went around and gathered in his
checks where they had been for the
past three weeks awaiting the hand
of some anxious person to take them
in.
Last Monday night we walked by
all but one of the checks, and as We
stated, stopped within fifteen feet OF
each one and after that no onS
seemed very anxious to hunt with the
determination TO find S. From the
poor efforts shown by the people OF
the three cities to find $500 checks
has encouraged us to hide larger de-
nominations. so within the next few
weeks we expect to put out $1,000
checks
That we hid the checks so they
could have been found, We will say
that there was not a member of the
committee who questioned it after
they were shown up.
Where the Checks Were Hid
Check No. I, which we said was
between Walnut and Poplar streets
on Main; not over forty feet from
the postoffce door; was over the car
riers' delivery window, under the
metal plate This check, as we said,
came in close touch with hundreds 0f
people daily.
Check No. 2, on Poplar, between
Main and Washington, was in the
Cotton Exchange behind the tele-
phone, and on the morning We placed
it there. we talked with Mr. McKie,
OF the Delta Oil Mill This check,
we told scores, was within forty feet
of Abe Blum's door, and still Mr.Mc-
LaughFn asked us why we did not
hide il in the exchange where he
could find it.
Check No. 3 was the wonder. 1t
was placed over the window where
the tickets are sold 70 the hundreds
who nightly enter the Dixie theator-
ium. in plain view Of everyone who
have entered since /, wa 'ldde @
never looked up. What pleases us
most IS that Ferdie Moyse was look
ing at Us the morning we hid it there
and never for once did he recollect
IT and he has been hunting that check
for four long weeks
Check No. 4. as we said was be
tween Poplar and Shelby streets
where a little child could pick It up,
and over which hundreds sat each
week. Mamie Gaggenheim came
near finding it one day but gave if up
and all the while ii was under the
tan on the bench in front of The
Leader
Check No. 5 was where it could be
raincd on. and has since it left our
possession, lying at the bottom of
the brown jug in front of Mike
Keadys saloon on Washington ave
nue. near the Y & NJ V. depot. Now
who would have thought this check
could not have been fouud2
Check No 8 was placed in one Of
the Greenville Steam Laundrys de
livery wagons, which has been on the
streets ever since the check was
placed there.
Check No 7 was in the Leland
