SALOON DEBAUCHED BOY

Muskegon, Mich, April 2. Mrs.
Aliza Sharlow, of this place, has
brought suit against William H. Gar
vey, a local saloonkeeper, through
which she asks for $1,000 from Garvey
and his bondsmen because of the sale
of liquor to her son, Angus Sharlow.
The mother charges that her boy
became intoxicated in the Garvey sa-
loon, that he is not yet twenty-one
years of age and for this alleged de-
hatchery of the son the claim for dam
ages is based.
In connection with this suit it is
stated by a Muskegon newspaper that
there is company in Grand Rapids
known as the Retailers Indemnity
Company which insures saloonkeepers
against damage suits.
1t may be that the Grand Rapids
concern is only an agent of the Mich
igan Saloon Bonding Company, the
Detroit concern. The long list of
crimes now on the records charged
against the saloons of Michigan will
give some troublesome days to the
bonding company that is urging them
into the business and vouching for
their good behavior. No other years
in Michigan history have been so
troubled with saloon disaster and sa-
loon violation of law as has been true
of recent years and recent months.

SALOON SMUT IN DETROIT

Detroit, Mich, April "A commit
tee of the Detroit City Council is
making All investigation into the char
acter of the local saloons and bad
mess is coming to the surface.
Most of the information with refer
ence to the disreputable character Of
the saloons is coming from the police
department.
In the course of this investigation,
when the right of John Kass to run
the saloon at 773 Ropelle street was
in question, Captain Wolff said: That
is bad place. Young girls and boys
are harbored there"
And then the further explanation
was made by Kass that the girls about
the saloon referred to by the officer
were his own wife and daughter.
In the case of Julius Daniels sa
loon, at 10Y Adair street, the officer
explained to the committee that this
saloon was all right, excepting when
Julius gets the snakes and chases his
wife around with gun"
1t was further disclosed with refer
ence to this particular place that It
was owned, building and fixtures and
all, by the Trivoli Brewing Company,
a direct violation of the state law.
In the case of nearly every saloon
keeper brought before the committee
admissions were made of violation of
the law, of disreputable and disgrace
full connections, of illegal connivance
with breweries and of attempted de-
ception with reference to the holders
of the saloon licenses.
