ALL MILWAUKEE, s AT WAR!

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept 1s.-
Milwaukee is holding its breath. Its
two chief police officials are trying
in vain to hold their tcmpers. The
city famed for a half a century for
its Bohemianism has gone to war with
itself and the two camps OF bellig-
erents are being generated respec-
lively by the mayor-Gerhard A. Bau.
ing-and the chief Of police-John T.
Jansen.
No, dear reader, 1t Is not because
tho amber hued liquid that is credited
with having made the city famous is
being dispensed in more conservative
quantities for a jitney or because the
much abused pretzel has lost its place
on the mahogany.
