Chief Laurence J. Lane and'his de-
tail Of officers kept up their Saturday
night bar average" last night. when
two more high class cedar saloon
bars fell by the wayside via the axe
route" Despite the fact the detail
to their total, liquor and any sem
blance OF liquor was impossible to
find when the officers visited several
other alleged notorious soft drink
parlors.
Roman Parafinowski. ASS S. Jack
son St, and Steve Lengyl, sol :.
Chaplin St, were the two men to wit
ness their bars vanish into kindling
wood. The Parafinowsld bar was
the first one to be wrecked by the
detail. On information obtained in
advance. the police walked into the
Parafinowski place and without hest
tation proceeded to bring forth is
quarts of white mule" from a secret
hiding place.
Parafnowski stood by as the evil
dence was gathered by the officers,
and when he was informed that his
bar was about TO be smashed mis-
only comment was that his enemies
had "squealed" on him. The
mule was found in a false win
dow bottom near the bar. The
combination was to push in on the
bottom Of the window sill and then
remove a board from over the top
Of the opening.
The officers had visited the Para
hnowski place on several occasions,
but until yesterday they were I'M
able to discover the secret hiding
place. Para6nOWski. apparently TO
prove TO the officers that he was

pleted their sledge hammer work

Intoxicating liquor for sale. He was

MAN SHOOTS NEIGHBOR AS BURGLAR
Check Activities
of World War Vet
Ended by Arrest
File Charges Against Michalak
in Davenport-Passed
Bad Checks Here.
Special to The News-Times.


DAVENPORT. Ia, Feb. 11-Whils
Stanley J. Michalak, alias stonley J.
McHelleck. alleged wounded world
war veteran OF South Bend, Ind,
paced his cell at the police station
here awaiting help from his relatives
in the Indiana city. the first OF sew
eral spurious checks which he is &C
cused OF casning in the Tri-Cities
came to light
To was the nrst concrete charge
filed against the ex-sOldier. The
check. drawn for only 50 on the Mo
line Trust and Savings bank, across
the Mississippi river from the city,
was returned 10 a drug store marked
no funds. It was brought TO Daven-
port Saturday and the charge against
Michalak followed. after his identif1-
cation as the man who cashed it.
Rev S. II. Tomaszewski. Moline
priest, a native OF South Bend whom
Michalak has known all his life and
who was bilked Of $40. refused TO
prosecute the young man and wired
20 Michalak's brothers at South
Bend for help for the man under
arrest.
Believes Mind Affected.
The Polish priest believes that
young Michalak's mind has been af-
fected as a result of his service in
the World war. when he claims he
was gassed, struck by shrapnel and
sheIl-shocked.
Michalak's arrest has brought to
an end one OF the most amazing ca
reers pursued here in recent years.
y $500 automobile was TO have
been delivered Friday. The mans
belongings were packed and he was
ready 10 leave on short notice. He
had a receipt showing payment OF
1000 ond a $4,000 National auto
mobile. The receipt was given by a
Chicago agency. The purchase of
the National. however. did not pre-
vent the young theatrical magnate'
from buying a Kissel Of the Daven-
port agency.
He claims that up until Dec. 4,
1921 he had been a government pa
tient in hospital near Raleigh, y.
c.. and that one of his lungs had
been badly affected by gas.
WRITTEN BAD CHECKS HERE.
Since the announcement OF STAN
ley J. Michalak's arrest in Daven-
port. Ia. on a charge of passing
fraudulent checks was made known.
local police stated last night that
numerous bad checks, said to have
been written by MicIalak on mer-
chants in this city, have come to
light Last week. they declared, the
Union Trust Co. OF this city received
check from the National Motor
Sales Co. Of Chicago. The check was
made out for 81 900 and was signed
by Michalak. alias McHelleck.
The majority OF the checks. writ
/ ten on local merchants. ranged in
amounts from S to 500. The local
victims. it is said. have announced
their intention of filing charges
| against Michalak just as soon as the
\ Davenport authorities release him.
The check made out on the Union
Trust Co. the police believe. was
supposed 10 have been part payment
