much retail liquor dealers as were
saloonists. The club members
laughed at him, and Woolwine
caused the arrest of the directors
of the California club, the most ex-
elusive club in southern California,
which numbers Gen. Adna r. Chat
fee, Henry f. Huntington and many
millionaires among it's members, on
charges of selling liquor Illegally.
The club engaged attorneys, and
the case was carried directly to the
superior court. AS all the superior
judges in Los Angeles county were
members of some of the social
clubs, it was necessary to call in a
judge from an outside county to
hear the case. He upheld Wool
wine.
AS soon as the decision was rem
dered Woolwine ordered all the
clubs to take out licenses or close
their buffets. Some of the smaller
clubs complied, but the larger ones
paid no attention, the California
club announcing that it would APP
peal it's case to the supreme court.
Then Woolwine, armed with a
search warrant and at the head of
squad of police, invaded the
sacred precincts of the California
club and raided it's bar.
A roar followed. Club members
declared Woolwine was seeking
cheap notoriety by his spectacular
methods. He was threatened with
political humiliation, and the city
attorney, who appointed him, was
threatened with the recall, but
Woolwine stood pat.
Then the other clubs became
frightened, and all of them, big and
little, have closed their 'buffets and
bars.

This is the slogan of Thomas l..
Woolwine, prosecutin gattorney of
Los Angeles, and because he is liv-

Woolwine was appointed, few
months ago, by the city attorney,

Little attention was paid to this
announcement, but it was only a
day or two later that the prose-

the police commissioners over the
enforcement of the laws governing
the red light district. There was
a lively miXup, but the result was
that one police commissioner was

The beloved magnate was not priv

his memory were the club owners
of the two leagues to incorporate
into base ball legislation the ideas
he advocated.
