CHICAGO. Sept. 21.-A multiple

The whisky was then sold at fairly
cheap bootlegging prices, the cheap
ness making II easy to get customers
to take II in case lots. When the
liquor was delivered, however, n po-
liccman appeared and demanded 4
substantial amount from the recipient
for protection. After the sum had
been paid. other policemen would
raid the place. and after collecting
another protection fee, would "confls-
cate" the liquor, resell it and repeat
the process of graft, sometimes half
dozen times. before turning the
whisky over to favored saloon
