PATROLMEN RAID
TWO CLUB ROOMS
Charge Directors of Slovenian
Organizations with Violating
Liquor Ordinance
RAIDING PARTY STARTS PANIC
Police ConfiScate Barrels of
Beer and Quantity of Ex-
pensive Case Goods

Bursting into the club rooms of the
Austro Krovatish American Social
club, 654 North Broadway, and the
Balkan-American Athletic club at 71S
North Broadway, two squads of uni
formed patrolmen under the command
of Sergeant Ross and Patrolman Gift
ford created panic among the crowds
present at both places and arrested
the proprietors on charges of violating
the liquor ordinance by selling intOXi-
cants to other than club members.
The officers worked on the cases
for the last several days and finally
learned, so they say, that the man
agement of the clubs sold liquor to
any one who had the price.
Last night when the club rooms were
crowded Sergeant Ross and Patrolmen
Clifford, Leon, Burgess, Boaz, R. l..
Shy, Toomey, Gamash and Mojonnier
decided to make the raid. The party
was divided into two squads and
promptly at 8 o'clock the signal was
given and the two places were entered
simultaneously.
At the Austro club Luke Ciutul1,
Mike Toll and Mike Cordich, directors
of the organization, were taken into
custody and several barrels of beer
and a quantity of expensive case goods
were confiscated.
Martin Petrovich. Lou Nounich and
Bios Petrovich, managers of the Bal
kan club, were arrested and all the
liquor in the place was seized by the
raiding party.
Friends of the accused attempted to
make a demonstration, but the prompt
action of the officers quelled any dis
turbance that might have started and
the prisoners were taken from the
places without further trouble.
The clubs raided are supported by
the most prominent Slavonians in Los
Angeles, and when the news spread
that a raid was in progress hundreds
of fellow countrymen flocked to the
scene and followed the accused to the
central police station. The large crowd
gathered in the police station and
hampered the work of the officers to
such an extent that 1t was necessary
for the officer in command at central
station to dispense the mob and warn
them against lettering about the build
ing.
Wealthy friends of the accused soon
appeared at the city jail and the club
managers were released under bail OF
500 each for their appearance in po-
lice court this morning.
The police declare that the clubs con-
duct an enormous business Sundays
and offer proof for their statements
by producing 1852 which was taken
from the cash register of the Austro
club and which they say represents
the sales for Sunday.
