BOOZE ROUNDUP
STARTED HERE
Three Places Visited BY Local
Police Over Week End Re-
suit in Arrests Being Made.

The federal authorities will have
several local cases to handle as a re-
suit of work by the local police over
the weekend. Three places were
visited between o'clock yesterday
morning and o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, and a quantity of booze
taken as evidence.
Anton Kisko, who conducts a gro
cery store at 642 Brace avenue, was
taken into custody as a result of a
raid on his place by Sergeant John
Larson yesterday afternoon, assisted
by Motorcycle officers Frank Seiboth
and William Bachman and PATROL
man James Nolan. A copper still
and a quantity of booze was taken
at this place, and a final hearing
will be held in this case tomorrow
morning.
Motorcycle Officers William Bach
man and Frank Seiboth and officer
William Buchan visited the near
beer establishment of John Kwiezin-
ski at 500 Johnstone street, yester-
day morning, where they found four
men drinking, a can of alcohol and
several bottles of whiskey. The pro-
prietor was placed under arrest. and
Andrew Divorakoski, of 1877 West
Side avenue, Thomas Pargulo Of 294
Sutton street and Adam Machoruski
of Jeffreys street were taken as wit
nesses. The proprietor was held in
$500 bail for the federal grand jury,
and was fined SIS on a disorderly
conduct charge preferred by Officer
Buchan. 1t is claimed he locked the
front door when he saw the officers
coming, but they succeeded in enter
ing through rear door.
Motorcycle Officers Bachman and
Seiboth were yesterday detailed to
290 Neville street by Chief of Police
Niels ]. Tonnesen to raid an alleged
speak-easy. The officers reported
that they found two men sitting at
a table and drinking whiskey. JOS
eph Majewski, the proprietor. was
placed under arrest and Edward
Zanzi, of GAS State street, and Tony
Kozewski, of 200 Neville street, were
also taken into custody as witnesses.
This mans case will also be turned
over to the federal grand jury as a
can of alcohol, three bottles of whis-
key and a jug of wine were taken as
evidence by the police.
The charge against Majewski,
Kwiezinski and Kisko was one of
selling intoxicating liquors without a
license, but on account of being un-
able to get evidence for such a
charge, the men could not be held
for grand jury action. Jacob S.
Karkus and Henry Golenboch repre-
sented the men. The witnesses were
dismissed after the various cases had
been heard. About $500 worth of
liquor was seized by the police in
raids the last few days.

TURKEY LOOKS
To THE ALLIES
Hope That They VIII enter
Near East Conference to
Be Held in London.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb Il (By
the Associated Press )-Hope that
allied delegates would enter the
Near East conference to be held in
London with a compromising spirit
was expressed today by Abdul Med
jid Essendi, heir presumptive to the
Turkish throne. Only by such an
attitude on their part would it be
possible to staolish peace in the
Near East and he said 1t might be
too late TO insure an end to hostilI-
ties if the Turkish nationalists have
made any material agreement with
the Russian bolsheviki. He indi-
Gated that Turkey was awaiting with
interest the development of the
Near Eastern policy of President
elect Harding.
what is most needed at the Near
Eastern conference in London" the
crown prince declared lis common
sense of moderation" If the con-
ference should be opened in such a
spirit it would be possible to settle
the Turkish question. but it is to be
noted that the Greeks are divided:
that the Turks are not united. al
though their division is more appar-
ent than real and that the allies
may not be in agreement.
1.-The Turkish peace has been de-
layed too long and perhaps it is now
too late if the Turkish nationalists
have an agreement with the boil
sheviki II such an agreement has
been made it is the fault OF the al
lies, and Turkey may be ruined by
its relations with Russia. which is
passing through revolutionary
era
