NEW INJUNCTION
IN PADLOCKING
Powell Serves New Writ
On Saloons PadlOcked
In KenOsha.
ASSURES ABATEMENT

The three paddock actions started
thus far in Kenosha county by Dis
trict Attorney Lewis Powell, acting
as United States attorney, were today
made ironbound in so far as the prac-
ticability of the federal injunction is
concerned. The district attorney
ordered sworn three additional writs
Of injunctions and one of these was
served on each Of the places padlocked
recently. This was done, it was ex-
planned, in order to make adequate
assurances to the United States gov
eminent that the temporary order
served upon these places at one time
would be carried out.
In the case of Domenico PERI, whose
place at the corner of Division street
and Rowland avenue was the first to
be padlocked earlier this summer, and
who was served with an injunction
and ordered to place bonds of $500
with the United States government to
insure that the owners of the premises
would not violate any of the laws for
which violations the federal action
was commenced, here another in
junction was served by the district
attorney. This place has been closed
since the first hearing and no trouble
has been experienced in this direc-
tion. The latest writ was served only
because the district attorney made it
uniform action in each case which he
has successfully prosecuted thus far

similar writ was served on the
premises Of Kazimir Orlowski at 207
Brockett street. And late Monday
afternoon Paul Wojt, whose saloon at
1881 Salem avenue is now under fire
under federal injunctio nproceedings,
under federal injunction proceedings,
ton and the summons to appear be-
fore Circuit Court Judge E. B. Belden
at one-thirty O'Clock October IL, at
which time the hearing on the injunc-
tion will be held.
The injunction was the same in each
case and commands and enjoins the
defendants from keeping, selling or
bartering any liquor containing more
than one-half of one per cent of al
cohol by volume at the premises named
In the complaint, and from maintain
Ing said premises as a common and
public nuisance as defined in Section
91, Title II of the National Prohibi-
tion Act; and from using or occupying
or permitting said premises to be
used or occupied for any purpose
whatever for a period of one year
from date, or until the further order

Takes Three Steps.
In explaining his actions the dis
trict attorney declared that ''the sit
nation is simply this: The first order
prevents the owner and the occupants
from selling any Intoxicating liquors
or disturbing or removing any fix
lures in the building, but the doors
are not officially locked until the
hearing, the date for which is set by
the judge. Then the summons orders
the defendant into court for the hear
ing. If he demands a trial a date
Is then set. The time which elapses
between the first summons and the
date of the trial must not exceed
twenty days, the law says. In the
meantime the restraining order is
served and if the defendant is caught
violating that order-caught selling or
possessing intoxicating liquor, he is
then open to fine in the court and
Is also open for citation for contempt
of court.
ain Milwaukee these steps have
been cut down to two in the federal
courts. In cases prosecuted there the
permanent injunction is issued at the
hearing and only in one case has there
been any order opening the case for
further testimony"
