Complexion on Dansavage Case Youths Held on Complaint of Girl Face Trial December 3l

A six months suspended jail sentence was the disposition this morning of the case of Mrs Theresa Danisavage, 40, of 599 North Riverside street, charged with vio- lation of the liquor law. A com- panion case, that of Mrs Mary Strelkauskas, 52, of 147 Washing ton avenue, was postponed until Tuesday, December 29th. In man. ifesting leniency for the accused to- day, Judge T. V. Meyer remarked that 1t was another one of those af- fairs in which sympathy should be shown. Mrs Danisavage has aban- doned her store on Washington avenue and has promised to dis continue selling beer in the future. She claimed that she has been sup porting herself and two children since her husband left her several months ago.
 The arrests of both Mrs Dani- savage and Mrs Strelkauskas oc- cured week ago when the emer- gency squad started an investiga- tion of the source of poisoned liquor responsible for the death of James Hogg. 52, of 232 South Main steret. It was learned that Hogg had frequently visited one of the many places in the vicinity of Rail- road Hill street and Washington avenue.
 In Mrs Danisavage's place of business a quantity of home brew was found. In the tenement up- stairs the authorities seized some hard liquor. According to an ex- pert chemist, who analysed it the

liquor did not contain any poison and consequently could not be con- sidered as evidence in the inquest conducted by Coroner John T. Monzani in the death of Hogg.
 Both women were held under bonds by orders of the coroner for over a week. When sufficient evil dence was obtained to indicate very clearly that neither one would be involved in the coroner's find ing the police were given jurisdic- ton of the cases. Mrs Strelkauskas was not formally arrested for vio- lating the liquor law until this morning.
 Patrolmen Daniel Carson and Patrick Moylan testified that they had received many complaints con- corning 145-147 Washington ave- nue. When asked questions con- cerning the appearance of the place as to whether or not it ap- peared to be used frequently and If the glasses were covered with dust and cob-webs,' Patrolman Carson answered.

 Ely will be teamed with Theo- dorc A. Lightner of Detroit who is replacing Mrs Culbertson so she may have a few spare evenings be- tween now and Christmas with Bruce and Joyce, the two young Culbertsons.
 And the new system suggested for the new team is a cross be- tween the informative system used at the Polo Grounds by John J.. McGraw and that used on the foot ball field by the Silents, a football team of deaf mutes out in Akron Ohio.
