FOUR SALOONMEN
SENT TO JAIL
Judge Wilkerson Sends
Quartet to Bastile For
Thirty Days.

-Four West Hammond saloon pro-
prietors will be aL~ent from their
places of business for thirty days.
During that period they may be
found at the county jail in Chicago.
They were found guilty of vio-
lating the liquor laws yesterday by
Judge Wilkerson in the federal court.
Each was soaked s1o0 and costs and
thirty days in Jail. They are:
Herman Behrens, 500 W. State
street
Fred Hacker, w State street.
Joe Jerzyk. $50 State Line street.
Stanley salga. $50 State Line
street
The arrests We're made last fall
while the carnival was being held
on State street. Federal men made
a quiet little raid and the men were
released bonds. Nothing more was
heard of il and the boys were con-
fident that the affair had blown over.
II was a severe jolt Monday when
they were summoned into court The
delay in bringing the cases TO trial
is said to be due to the congestion
in the federal courts.
Much restlessness is evidenced in
West Hammond today because 1t is
now considered certain that more
trials will follow. There have been
several raids since the one last fall.
In fact, the White Front. OF which
Joe Jerzyk was one of the proprie-
tors, has been visited three times
since then.
Behrens asked for a little time in
which to straighten up his business
at home before starting serving his
sentence.
Il thought you said you were out
of business" said Judge Wilkerson.
Il am out Of the saloon business.
your honor" replied Behrens. but 1
am in the teaming business now
The court gave him ten days in
which to prepare for the jail.
The finding of the court upsets
the plans of Fred Hacker. He had
just arranged to go on a hunting trip
to Wisconsin and halted preparations
long enough to attend the trial He
has called off the trip.
