Charged To Drivers, Who Must
Pay For 1t Otherwise, Is
Police Explanation

Cruel is the only word applicable TO
the hoax played by the police on GER
tain individuals who have been keep
ing a weather eye on the police sta

Gus private clubs started. when II
vas announced that hundreds OF bot
ties OF beer, and whole distillery out
puts OF whisky, would be thrown into
the sewers
The Cadillac-sq. bunch" has been
noticed siding toward police head
quarters. and leaving their points OF
vantage at saloon fronts. where they
are wont TO regale themselves on the
odors of stale beer and whisky.
But while everybody has been ex-
pecting the cutters TO overflow with
liquors, brewery wagons have quietly
backed up TO the side entrace OF po-
lice headquarters. and drawn away the
bottles, beer and all.
Capt. Baker. asked why the whole
sale destruction OF the amber fluid
was not carried out as planned, and
informed that a brewery wagon OF the
Koppitz Melchers Co. had been noticed
in the act OF carting away big load
of seized beer, explained that II was
a little tenderness OF the police de-
partment toward the beer wagon driv-

The owners of the raided clubs had
not paid for the beer, which was
charged up to the driver" said Capt.
Baker, just trifie embarrassed by the
question We didn't want the driver
TO suffer, so we turned il over TO him.
II may be taken for granted that
wagon drivers will be charged with
all beer by the Drewerles, hereafter.
Tney the breweries can get the beer
back.
Another club was raided. Sunday
night and 90 cases Of beer were
seized
