With the temporary injunctions al
ready signed there is every indication
that the permanent padlocks Will be
invoked. Roy l.. Morse, United States
district attorney for eastern Wiscon-.
sin, announced today that he would
petition the federal court for padlocks
for one year for each of these places,
and it has already been indicated that
this will be the procedure.
With this action there is heard the
solemn sounding of the approaching
death knell for New Years Eve rev.
elry in Kenosha county insofar as
this revelry will touch eleven of the
most popular roadhouses. The action
is in accordance with the orders of
z. C. Yellowley, in charge of federal
prohibition enforcement for Illinois
and Wisconsin, and Robert Sterling,
federal officer for eastern Wisconsin,
that every place suspected of indulg-
ing the extra preparations for the en-
tertainment of large holiday crowds
be put out of business before Decem-
Der 81.
