so-called soft drink parlors" which
are continuing to run in defiance Of
the law after the city of Kenosha has
denied them permits, the police Tues

such, with the result that this morn
ing in the municipal court there were
brought in for maintaining a soft

arrested and charged with selling
/ without a license. The arrest was
made by Detectives McCluskey and.
Chase. Leipzig appeared in court
this morning accompanied by Martin
4 Schmidt, who appeared to think the
I entire procedure a huge Joke. While
! the arraignment of Leipzig was in
process before Judge Slater, Schmidt
rallied the captain Of police because
he too did not look upon the mat
ter lightly.
Leipzig pleaded not guilty and the
case was continued to July Is, bail $50.
Stanley sankowsld Too.
Tony Ambrose's place at 1854 Grand
avenue, was visited by customers who
were sent in by the same police of
fcers. Ambrose sold two glasses Of
beer before he realized that he was
being caught. He had little to say
in court this morning, but stepped
before the Judge as soon as his case
was called and pleaded guilty. He
was fined $25 and costs.
! Stanley Sankowski, 900 Salem
avenue was arrested by Police officer
Otto Pollesch on Tuesday for selling
without a permit. Beer also, it is
claimed, was vended at this place,

No Class B Permits Either.
A few Of the permitless thirty-four
have come to the Office Of the city
clerk and Of the police with sug-

a Class A but for a Glass II permit.
All Of these have been firmly told By
Chief Of Police Thad Logan thst such
subterfuge will not be allowed.
The Glass B permits also pass through
the police department for an 0. <.
and Chief Logan stated that those
refused Class A permits are also au-
tomatically ineligible for Class B
permits as we'll.
Several have taken the refusal Of
permit philosophically. Eight called
at the Office of the city clerk and ask
ed for a refund of the cash bonds
which they had deposited, stating that
they intended to drop their applica-

were refunded.
