Permits to Reopen Places,
known in Police Circles,
Are Refused.
TWO RECOMMENDED
Applications from Persons to
Operate Where No Violations
Found Are O.K.'d.

Indication that it would be increas-
ingly difficult to secure a permit to
operate a so-called soft drink par
lor" in Kenosha in a place where
there has been a proven violation of
the law was given this morning when
it became known that Chief of Police
Thad Logan had refused to recommend
the renewal of licenses for such places
in eight cases to be presented to the
city council on Monday evening.
Two of these applications, which
are to be denied, are for Glass A per-
mits and the other six are for Class
permits. 1t was stated that in ev-
cry instance the person making the
application for the issuance of new
permit was not the one who had vi
plated the law in former cases but
that the record of the place was taken
into consideration in the refusal of
the permit.
Several Well Known Places.
One of the Glass A places to be
refused new permit is the one To-
Gated at 1850 Grand avenue, formerly
operated by John Haines, one of che
men charged with selling liquor to the
occupants of the car that struck and
killed Coroner Truman T. Parker and
his daughter, Jean. Haines is the
owner of the building but the appli-
cation for another permit is put in
in the name of Hayward Palmer. This
place was raided August Both before
the time of the Parker tragedy and
Haines was fined 500 and costs as a
result of the raid.
The other Glass A application to be
refused is that made by Malta Stef-
anceck to continue business at 301-
303 North Sheridan road, building
owned by Bob Gordon. A conviction
was secured against this place on
March IL, 1924, and a fine of $3.50
and costs imposed and paid.
Six Class B Permits.
In every instance where Chief Lo-
gan recommended the refusal of a
Glass B permit also there had been a
violation of law. The places refused
together with the present person MAX
ing application for permit are listed

No Wives or Daughters.
In one or two instances the wives or
daughters of former permit holders
have sought continuance of the per-
mits. The action of Chief Logan is
indication that in the future such per-
mits will be refused
At the same time applications for
permits were recommended to be
granted to George Peganaft, 602 Grand
avenue, and Joe Zalubowski, 654 Eliza
beth street, no court record being
against either these places or the per-
sons seeking permits.
In the instances where permits are
refused the checks, accompanying the

cants.
