rents, school children and teachers
will lose whatever tens Of thousands
of dollars may be involved.
Legal fraud" committed by Cir
cult Judge Jesse HOldOm, Simon w.
Strauss, mortgage bankers, and Ber-
trand NJ Winston of the law firm of
Winston, Payne, STawn & Shaw, &C
cording to allegations in the briefs
of Atty Shannon, are the main
cause of the tangle.
These three citizens acted as APP
praisers of the school land on which
the eleven rent-dodgers are located.
On their valuations the rent would
be reduced 20 per cent. Shannon
says, HoIdom, Strauss and Winston
are pulling off legal fraud" in
knocking down rentals on State
street while rent is being lacked up
everywhere else in Chicago.
The rent-dodgers offer to pay their
rent, but only on condition that they
get receipts for rent paid in fuIl'' at
the 20 per cent reduced rate, which
Shannon calls a legal fraud" rate.
In blunt words, what Shannon asked
Judge Smith to do Nov. 1 was like
this:
make these school land renters
pay their rent at the figure they think
is right. Then hold the money in
court here or in a bank while the
courts settle just what the fair and
square rental is"
Judge Smith refused to order any
such action and awarded a victory
to the Chicago Title & Trust Co., Nc
Vicker's theater, Saratoga hotel and
a total of eleven lesseeS.
Next week Shannon will file the
eleven suits in appellate court.
Transcript of what took place in
Judge Smiths courtroom Nov. 1

court:

Judge Smith was asked to enter

Renewed efforts against the granting

A. =. Shoemaker, attorney for the
league today.
Mr.. Shoemaker's statement followed
adoption today by the Excise Board of
several amendments to the rules and
regulations governing the liquor traffic
In the District.
BY eliminating the proviso that this
restriction shall not apply to hotels
and clubs" section 6 was amended to
read that no barroom license shall be
granted on any side Of a street where

excluding the parts Of buildings wherein
berroom licenses are held, 10 used for
business purposes"
Attitude Not Changed.
II Is not to be assumed from this.
however, II was explained, that the
board has changed its attitude with re-
gard to licensing clubs and hotels. Such
applications. It was said. will be con-
sidered on their merits. Under the
boards regulations retail licenses are
divided into three classes, bar only, res
taurant and club or hotel. The regula-
ton as amended follows more closely
the reading of the law.
Attorney Shoemaker will argue that
not club not located In street having
less than 80 per cent business frontage
can be licensed under the law. This
would AFFECT all the clubs now licensed
with the exception of the Cosmos, the
