Chain Store Week Clean-U- p Thats whats disturb- ing the peace and quiet of Twenty-fift- h street soft drink psrlor propri-etor- s. City Plumbing Inspector Edw. Jessop accompanied the anti-vic- e squad around town Wednesday and took a look at the plumbing in a number of soft drink establishments, and eight proprietors were arrested for violation of the plumbing ordinance, which requires a gooseneck in drain running into the sewer;every and which, incidentally, makes it rather easy to nab hard liquor vendors who dump their booze when a raid ia in progress. The men posted 325 each to guarantee their appearance in court. The soft drink boys are in somewhat of a quandry whether to forget to put in goosenecks and get caught by the judge for 3299 fine and a jail sentence, or to put in goosenecks and get caught for 3300 and a jail sentence. The police department baa been rather active on enforcement matters lately. Four youths were arrested on a drunk charge at White City Gardens last Saturday night, and then the police went out and gathered in the alleged bootlegger for selling liquor to them. Manager Harman W. Peery of White City, in commenting on the case, said: The police department is to be complimented for beginning the effort to rid the dance halls of young men under the influence of liquor. I hope they keep up the good work and rid all the dance halls of intoxicated persons.
