OTHERS TO FIGHT
IT OUT IN COURT
Burt and Martin Road
houses to be Closed by
Federal Order.
ISSUE MORE ORDERS
.RuIes Of Etiquette" for Cele-
brati0ns Are Announced
by Federal Agents.

The federal AK today showed its
keen edge for the first time and as
result two Kenosha county roadhouses
must close their doors at once.
The Sheridan Road Inn, two miles
south of the city limits on South
Sheridan road-Highway 15-owned
and operated by James Martin, was
the first to go.
"The Shack" Frank Burt's road
house in the town of Truesdell on the
Geneva road-Highway Sat the in
tersection of the st. Paul railroad, was
the second to go.
Both roadhouses, through their attor-
neys, withdrew their answers to the
federal paddock action before Federal
Judge Geiger in Milwaukee and con-
scented to voluntary paddock decree.
The paddock will become effective at
once as soon as the necessary court
orders can be drawn up and served
by United States marshal on the
proprietors at heir roadhouses in
Kenosha.
Leaves Nine Roadhouses Left.
The action of the two roadhouses
leaves nine Kenosha county places
left in the federal court today, and
these nine are scheduled to appear
before the Judge in Milwaukee tomor-
row, at which time they are ordered
to show cause why the temporary
paddock injunction which they now
have should not be made permanent
for noriOd IF ono wear
So far as is known all of these nine
places have filed answers to the fed
eral actions and all have shown a
fighting spirit in combating the at
tempts to close their places. Each
has been cited in affidavits sworn to
by federal raiders for violations of
the national prohibition act.
The first of the hearings tomorrow
will be that of Harry Gordon and Ben
Klafter, proprietors of the Royal
Palace cafe on South Sheridan road
at the state line, Both were held
to the federal grand jury in Milwau-
kee on bonds of $1,000 each for al
legged liquor violations. The other
eight hearings will follow in rapid
succession before Judge Geiger.
JaiIs to Welcome Ladies.
Another statement from E. C. Vel
lowley, federal prohibition enforce
ment administrators for this division,
whose statements are being shown to
men literally and fguratively what
they say, was issued in Chicago on
Monday
The new manifesto threatens Jail
for men and women New Year tipplers,
regardless Of where they are. eve
welcome ladies'" will be a familiar
sign on every Jail in every town where
the federal agents make their visit,
and it has been limited that Kenosha
county is included in the federal
itinerary this year.
Chivalry, if any, is not going to be
allowed to interfere with the elimina-
ton of the old-fashioned but sprightly
New Years celebrations, so far as
the prohibition Office has anything
to do with it.
Get All Hippers, Is Order.
Hitherto the governments sponge
squads have been as eager to dry
women's eyes as mems hip pockets and
they have been as gentlemanly as the
regulations permitted in the break
ing up of alcoholized parties and. the
failing of similarly alcoholized es-
corts. The rouged lips that touch
liquor have never had to tell it to the
Judge the morning after the raid. But
all this is out of the picture for the
next holiday in these parts. New
Years Eve is to be punished as well
as New Years Adam for such indis-
cretions as she may commit in prep
aration for 1926.
Besides, two United States commits
sioners will hold court in Chicago, it
is announced, and they will be at the
bench all night to release all prison
ers if they can furnish bail. In addi-
ton, justices and judges eligible to
sign bonds in Kenosha are told that
they may be called upon if there is
any demand for their services dur
ing the night. Yellowley will not in
sist that his offenders spend the first
night of the New Year behind the
bars. If the hip that carries the flask
also packs $1,000, bond can be ar
ranged Immediately after the arrest,
How They're Going To Do 1t.
Every available agent in the
"sticks" is being called in for duty
in the larger communities where the
greatest revelry is expected, Yellowley
says. The plan is now to have several
women agents, beautifully dressed in
evening crowns and otherwise con-
forming to the atmo sphere of gaiety
and elegance, circulate through the
crowds and locate violators who other
wise might be immune.
