TEARNEY SHOWN
AS LAW BREAKER
Chicago Tribune Exposes Three
Eye League President as Dis
orderly Saloon Owner.

Al R. Tearney. president of the
Three-Eye baseball league, is propri-
etor of two Chicago saloons. He is
also an alderman, and as such has q
pull" one sufficient, the Chicago Tri-
bune asserts, to allow him to keep his
bar and cafe ct Thirty-ffth street and
Calumet avenue open all night, the
revelry continuing under the very
eyes of policemen. For four nights
last week. including Sunday, the Tri-
bune assigned reporters to the Tear
ney resort, and al found fragrant
violations of the l o'clock closing Or
dinance. The Tribune, in a page ex-
pose in today's issue of the Tearney
place, asserts that there have been
scores of complaints catered with the
police department by residents in the
neighborhood Of Thirty-fifth street
and Calumet avenue, but all have
been ignored by the officials because
Of Tearney's influence with the ad.
ministration.
A Tribune staff photographer was
on the scene at 100 yesterday morn
ing. He took a flash of the line of
automobiles in front of Tearney's re-
SORT at that hour. The picture is
printed in the Tribune of today. Tear
