ANOTHER SALOON
LICENSE REVOKED
Ed Kolle Found to Be Operating
Sunday Blind Pig on
Twenty first Street.
BASE ON SECOND FLOOR
Outguards Said to Have Been Sta
toned to Lead Thirsty to
Dispensary.

More good detective work brought
to light another ''blind pig" operated
by Ed Koelle, who conducts a saloon
at 300 Twenty-f1rst street, and as re-
suit Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver has re-
voked the license at that number. 1t
seems that since the Sunday closing
order went into effect certain saloon
keepers have sought to satiate the de-
sires of any thirsty friends who could
be relied upon to keep things quiet.
Some time ago it was learned by the
police that Koelle was conducting a
still on the second floor Of his saloon
building. Outguards were stationed,
and if thirsty friend approached and
wanted to be directed to a place where
he might secure a little refreshment,
he was advised to follow at a distance
of several rods. In order to reach the
bar he had to run the fire of several
more guards, and if he passed the
test, he was led right in. The room
was fitted with hunks and other fur
and when a man became par
alyzed he was stretched out on one of
them.
REPORTS VERIFIED.
These conditions, according to May
or Harry NJ. Schriver, were found TO
be true, and last night he served notice
upon the proprietor, Ed Koelle, that
his saloon license had been revoked,
and any further sale of liquor would
mean prosecution for selling liquor
without a license.
