agitated right now because Roman G.
Lewis an assistant city prosecuting
attorney, chooses to buy his drinks in
a saloon run by an anti-administra-
ton saloonkeeper.
Early last Sunday morning the po-
lice were sent to raid the saloon OF
William Hayes, 1858 w. Lake street,
under the impression that the place
was owned by William Skidmore,
Roger Sullivan lieutenant and, as
such, bitter enemy of the Hearst
Harrison crew.
That raid proved a boomerang to
the city machine. Judge Hopkins
discharged the eighteen men and
nine women taken by the police and
scored the officers for arresting peo--
pie on such little evidence.
But that was not the only reason
for the city bosses crashing their
teeth. For when the police broke in
to the place they found seated at one
of the tables Roman G. Lewis, sup
posedly splinter in the Hearst Har-
rlSOn renee.
This was very painful particular
ly to Jim McInerney, city prosecutor,
and one of the main cogs in the
Hearst-Harrison machine. McInerney
IS Lewis boss and as head of the de-
partment he must see that only those
who aid the bunch get jobs as his
assistants.
Lewis must now explain just why
he likes Mr.. Hayes beer so much bet
ter than he does the kind sold by the
various gentlemen who say "Howdy,
chief" to Andy Lawrence. 1t is very
ndiscreet of Lewis to be unable to
1ontrol his taste.

T. THE WRONG BOOZE
FULL OF TROUBLE
Canal street labor agents during
Lieut.. M. ]. Gallery's campaign
against them.
At that time The Day Book pro-
tested against the appearance of a
city attorney in behalf of men arrest
ed on charges of victimizing the un-
fortunate men who drift around
Madison and Canal streets seeking
work.
At that time McInerney merely
shrugged his shoulders when told of
the action of his assistant It ap-
parently made no difference to him
if Lewis chose to pick up some loose
change by dropping his title of city
prosecutor and going out and de-
Tending the labor agents.
Lewis, himself, said at that time:
Its nobody's business if chose to
appear for employment agents
charged with fraud. l guess 1 know
what IN doing"
IL was dPpdI CuI Il1dI uO uIu. Az
that time he probably bought his
drinks at Gazzolo's or at some other
place run by a H.-H. cohort.
Lewis appeared as attorney for E.
M. Bertrand and Henry Weiss, who
were charged with having taken
money from laborers without provid-
ing them with jobs. All of this was
told Lewis chief, but he declined to
do anything.
But now times have changed.
Action is now threatened against
Lewis, not for anything that involves
his duties as a city employee, but
merely because he was found with
people known to be friendly to Roger
Sullivan.
