Lot of Copper Boilers at
Station Show COppers
on the Job.
MOONSHINE BOILERS
Police Begin and End Weekend
by Capturing More VioIators
of the Federal Law.

The police station this morning took
on the appearance of an animated
washday. Well, isn't this Monday, and
fair day, too, with lots of sunshine
to dry the clothes? Back of the graf
ing in the station reposed on the floor
two ordinary-sized wash-boilers.
Wash-boilers originally doubtless,
but more lately converted to a purpose
higher or lower, according to your
point Of view, (and as Einstein says ev-
erything is relative) than the simple
one Of boiling the family shirts and
sheets. For the two boilers had tops
to them which had been cemented or
and the whole outfit was being used IL
each case for the boiling of moonsnin
and not Of suds.
One Captured This Morning.
The latest still to be brought in was
taken this morning at 1880 o'clock by
the police sponge squad under the lead
ership of Assistant Chief John Cyzak,
who was aided by Detectives Rock and
Breidt of the police department and
Federal Agent John Scholey. The still
was found at 800 Ounce street and
with it was taken cooling device,
mash and moonshine. The mash was
of very superior kind, showing MIX
ture of barley, figs and apples.
But the police were busy all through
the weekend, and the Congress street
still was taken as the last wind-up of
the weekend moppinp IN.
John Genautis Appears Again.
John Genautis, the one-armed man
who peddles Polish newspapers and
who has been arrested for making
moonshine more times even than Mary
Kazube or Susanna Zahorski, figured
in moonshine raid conducted by the
police early Sunday morning, though
this time he was guest and not host
over the bottle.
The police received a call at 1850 a.
m. Sunday, announcing that there was
a fight going on in the upper fiat at
22h North Congress street. Sergeant
Kirsch and Officer Clifford responded
and found the hostess, Mrs. George
Ashmus in the northeast bedroom with
bottle in her lap and surrounded by
a swarm of five excited men. Beside
Mrs. Ashmus and George Ashmus there
was, John Genautis, Peter Norbert, AL
eek Waranck and Steve Korsch.
When the officers appeared, Mrs.
Ashmus attempted to hide behind the
table and conceal the coveted bottle in
her lap. The bottle was captured, how
ever, and the police as result were
able to add to the specimens in the
vault, one-third of a gallon of moon.
John Genautis was found guilty of
manufacturing moonshine and was
sentenced on July 10th in the munich
pal court to 5000 fine or six months in
Jail. Genautis was unable to pay the
fine and was put in the county jail to
serve six months time. His time would
have run out December goth but on
September 29th he was paroled by
Judge Tully.
And Still Another One.
Last Friday night Captain Clausen
with his squad made a raid on the
premises of John Domesic, conducted
under Glass A permit at 92O Park
street. John Krasowski, the bartender.
had copper container in his hand
from which he emptied something into
the sink as the officers entered.
"What did you have in that?" asked
Captain Clausen.
water" replied Krasowski
81 never knew water to have so moon
shiney a SMELL" mid the captain, as
he put his nose inside the container.
There were still few drops in the
can and Captain Claussen poured them
on the table and touched a match to
them. A vivid blue flame instantly
sprang up.
Il never knew water to burn like
that" commented the captain of po-
lice, but the bartender said nothing.
\ The police squad then went away, but
they made polite party call the next
night. There were Captain Claussen
Detectives Rock and McCluskey and
Sergeant Kirsch.
Just as they came in, the bartender
again poured something into the sink
but Kirsch was instantly at his side,
and taking glass let the contents in
the sink flow into the glass. In this
way some Of the evidence was salvaged
but the police were uncertain today
whether the chemists test would SUBJ
stantiate the preferring of charges.
