Men Come From Milwau-
kee and Find One Place
Being Operated Without /,
Federal License.
SAY TRANSFERS ARE MADE
License Committee of the Council May
Be Asked to Make Investigation Fol
lowing the Visit of the Federal
Operatives on Tuesday.

| Agents of the United States collector
of Revenue were in Kenosha on Tues
| day making an investigation of sa-
loon businesses in the city and while
! it is declared that the investigation
was directed wholly to the question
of investigating revenue collection it
is admitted that it was just possible
that some of the reports of the investi-
cations made might be for officials of
the United States Navy who have
shown a new interest in Kenosha as re-
lated to the life of the men in train
ing at the Great Lakes station.
The officials of the revenue depart
ment gave most Of their attention to
places on the West side Of the city
and it was stated that one place was
found operating without a government
license. No arrest was made In the
case but the man in charge of the sa-
loon promptly paid the federal license.
It was alleged that the saloon had been
transferred to him some time ago by
man who later went into another
business in Racine and the Federal
officials declared that the Racine man
would be called upon the carpet to
show why he had been doing business
without federal license.
The Federal agents gave some rather
caustic criticism of saloon conditions in
Kenosha declaring that they had found
transfers of licenses or at least trans
fers of saloons in which consent of the
city council was lacking. Under the
law the transfer of license issued
by the city is made impossible but it
in Kenosha have changed hands. It
| is just possible that these changes have
been made not only without the con-
sent of any of the officials Of the city
but as we'll without knowledge of the
officials. Many licenses in Kenosha are
now held by foreign born people and
with the possibility of the ending of
the life of the traffic on the first of
July some of these places have not
been given the attention which had
been given to them in former years.
Under the law men who are in charge
of saloons who have taken them over
since the first of July of last year
might be arrested on charges of opera
ting these places without license. It
lis admitted that in some cases estates
have been permitted to continue the OPP
Eeration of the saloons until the end of
the license period following the death
Of the actual holder of the license.
Tt is expected that the agents of the
Revenue Collector will ask some ac-
tion on the part Of the license com
mittee for check up Of the places in
Kenosha with a view of finding just
how many Of them have been trans
ferred without the legal right. The
agents Of the government are declared
to be mostly interested in the collection
of the revenue taxes through license
but they criticised rather vigorously
existing conditions in Kenosha.
