Navy Men In Bak's Place.
Ii you, dear reader, mayor Hugo OF
the Woman g council, wish further evi
dence Of Illegal sale Of booze, princi
pally moonshine, probably distilled BY
some alien who loves not our flag mol
respects our laws, step into this soft
drink parlor in the basement Of the
Maryland hotel. It's the first one, 2,
the left hand Of the Sixth avenue en-
trance. The place is run by chap
named Bak and a couple Of daring
associates. As these lines are written
there's report that one "Irish," Of
Superior, has bought, or is about to
buy the joint. Be all that as 1t may
Irish" will have to 60 some if he
gets rid Of as much booze as have
Messrs. Bak & Co.
1t was not SO very long ago that q
couple of men connected with the naval
recruiting office got badly tanked a,
Bro. Bak 3 booze depot and, as pun
ishment, they were sent back to regular
| duty.
The boys in. the headquarters fire
hall greatlyA kret that all the fire
horses are dead. They appreciate what
fine place the Bak booze depot would
be to get horse medicine, or first aid
for ailing steeds.
There is steady flow Of thirsty hu.
mainly in and out Of Messrs. Bak &
company's place. There also is no evil
dence that the police, the sheriff or the
prohibition agents ever have molested
its lawless operations.
Badeaux' Stud Poker Game.
Perhaps you have tired Of moon.
shine, therefore step into taxicab and
whirl down to 1925 West Superior st..
where Willard B. Badeaux has his pool
hall. In there, somewhat out Of sight
of policeman Dave Olson, you win find
a merry throng busily engaged at play,
ing stud poker and rummy. ..... p.
A Rip-saw inspector took peek into
the place one day last week and saw
a bunch of trails" and tinhorn sports
having quite lively game. There was
"Stub," a hard-boiled rivet heater.
"Pete" was there, together with Joe
Shire, "Lud" Sutherland, "Bill" Ba-
They were playing away, to beat the
band, at game with 6O-cent limit.
During the afternoon, "Stub" lost $50.
Badeaux lost $50, but his rakeoff dur
ing the afternoon gave him net profit
Of $210 for the day.
Money was piled high on the table
when policeman walked in during
the afternoon. He was helped to a
free cigar, after which he went about
his business.
So far as the Rip-saw inspector could
learn, no booze was being sold, but a
chap was seen to go in there who was
offering booze that day, in barrel lots,
at $50 gallon.
If you want action and q fling with
the Goddess of Chance, Col. Badeaux
pool hall is likely place.
Madame Olson's Final Fate.
Mike Crowley, so the Rip saw in
spector recently reported, announces he
is not selling any booze at present. He
probably wishes to see how the new
chief acts. There's no use in calling
at Mikes place this trip and there is
no use in calling on Madam Olson, at
zoos West Second street.
After many months, the police got
next to Madam Olson and, week ago
Friday, Nov. 10, she was arrested by
officers Walker, Stewart and Bailey.
She put up bail in the sum Of 5000,
which she duly forfeited. As usual,
there was no prosecution and the court
was not permitted to pass on the mer-
its of the case. -
One Nels Holton at 2002 West Sec
ond street, is credited with having tot
ed much booze for Madam Olson. When
she was arrested last week, nothing was
found against him. It is alleged that,
when he was active, he had two num-
bers for his car. The legal tag, No.
1876, 1873, was used when not breaking
the law but, for booze-toting purposes,
there was fake number, 1S9, 1876. More
recently, one Anderson is credited with
carrying booze for the woman.
Madam Olson recently formed part
nership with Superior woman, there
fore her future may be safely left in
the hands of chief Osborn.
Some Gay Girls Uptown.
Hop into a taxicab with the Rip-saw
inspector and get uptown to No. East
Superior street, where young redlight
madam maintains dump with the help
Of male business agent and two or
three resident Magdalens and others
subject to call.
