Offenders.

Determination to outlaw the soft
drink parlor as a dispenser Of var
ious grades Of "moonshine" and
other intoxicants in South Bend. is
seen in the report of r. s. Minton,
assistant state federal prohibition
director. who conferred with Harry
Mathers, prohibition officer for
northern Indiana. this week end.
Mathers said Monday that the
state federal prohibition director
was planning TO send several law
yers under the jurisdiction OF that
department. 70 assist in prosecuting
the injunction proceedings against
alleged liquor vioIators which have
been filed in local courts.
Name If Here.
The injunction method NIathera
declared, is considered the most eff
fective means OF barring the whole
sale liquor law violating existant in
South Bend. The injunction prevents
operators from further business of
that nature under court order and
any defiance Of the court order is
dealt with under CONTEMPT proceed
ings.
To date IA complaints have been
filed against alleged notorious Of
tenders. In many instances where
proceedings have been instituted,
two and three cases are pending

Mathers indicated Monday.
Trials Next Week
The hearings on the injunction
cases may be scheduled for next
week in superior court No. .. but

OLD TIMERS OPEN
 PHOENIX GARAGE

Tho Phoenix garage, operated by Roger Hunt and Fred Hart, has taken the spacious garage location at los North Second avenue. The new in stitution is the result of a partner ship formed between the two proprie- tors, who are old timers in Phoenix and well-known to many hundreds of car owners.
 Roger Hunt started in the automo- bile business here in 1914 with the Cadillac agency. He had direct charge of all shop work, remaining in this capacity until in 1917 he asso- ciated with Fred Hart and together they opened a garage at First avenue and Bennett lane. They conducted this garage until it became too small for them and a new building was erected for them at Second avenue and Van Buren street, in which they operated for two years.
 MT. Hunt then went into business for himself, opening a garage at 614 West Van Buren street, while Mir. Hart became associated with the Dunbar Spring Service company. However. the old spirit of partner ship worked its way into their souls again and as a result, after nearly three years. they are opening up the Phoenix garage.
 All repair work and adjustments together with service work on motor cars, will be under the direct super vision of both MT. Hunt and MT. Hart.
