The private possession OF intoxi-

John Krause, member OF the Cuya-

uors to fifty or sixty, Mr.. Krause
says that he can do nothing to him
der such practices as long as the men
comply with the law governing his
department. One OF the largest liq-

Cleveland Plain Dealer as saying:

livelihood upon his carrousel wagon

which children may revolve for a

organ attachment.
Nicholas Garofolo, of 90 Havemeyer
Street, also owns a carrousel wagon and
has been operating recently in the
territory claimed by Merolla. A few
days ago the rival proprietors met, and
Merolla bit his thumb at Garofolo in
true Slcilian manner and told the other
what was going to happen if he didn't
keep out of Merolla's part Of town.
That started trade war, which
reached bloody climax last night at
South Third and Havemeyer Streets,
Brooklyn. When the reserves from the
Bedford Avenue police station beat
back the mob that was trying to lynch
Merolla and Patrolman August Grom,
three bodies lay on the pavement. One

Sir Men Rob 20
IN Restaurant
And Get SIS, 900

SIX men robbed more than a score of
customers in Abraham Numair's coffee
house, at 95 Washington Street, at 4:45
p. m. yesterday. They got $4,000 in
jewelry and money. The police de-
clined to give any information about
the holdup. When the robbers entered
with the announcement "We're going
to frisk you" the customers thought
the intruders were detectives.
"Where's Stephen ?" demanded one
of the men when the coffee drinkers
had been marshalled in a group.
One of the others at that moment
yanked from behind the knot of men
Antonio Stephen, of 105 East Fifteenth
Street, a diamond dealer. They took
$4,000 worth of diamonds and S11O in
money from him. and next turned their
attention to Jose Slori and Elias
Rurkos, taking from the former $4,000
in cash, a $1,000 ring and $500
scarfpin, and from the latter 5000
ring and a 5000 scarfpin. In taking
the scarfpins the robbers cut their
victims neckties to obviate the diff
culties offered by the safety clasps of
the pins.
About the time they had finished
their job customer entered.
I'VE are being held up!' Numair
shouted.
The customer evaded the bandits
sentinel at the door and ran into the
street yelling. The hold-up men took
to their heels. Numair seized the man
who had been standing at the door and
was struggling with him when a pa
trolman arrived. The prisoner said
ne was Thomas Donohue and refused
to say where he lived.
