Two dry agents we're suspended
for misconduct today by Amos w.

Basil N. Quinn, Of this city, and
Robert F. Merkle, of Milwaukee,
were suspended for five days with
out pay, following alterations
with citizens over traffic viola
tions. s-
Woodcock said that on July 16
Quinn quarreled over right-of-
way with Thomas E. Quinlan and
George H. Heale, of this city.
Quinn is alleged to have struck
one and arrested both, but pre-
ferred no charges.
Merkle, according to Woodcock,
sought to arrest William A.
French in Milwaukee for a traf-
fic violation. Asked by French
to show his authority, Merkle Is
said to have produced a pistol.
Further action may be taken
against Merkle, whose Suspen-
sion will date from August 25,
as Woodcock said the five-day
penalty may seem inadequate,
but at the beginning he plans to
go easy and try to save the
agents and make something out
