Inspector Hunt Targets Hyde Park Beer With Plainclothes Patrols
Hunt vows to stop home liquor if friends cannot run gambling houses and hand books. A plainclothes officer will shadow beer wagons entering the prohibition district and arrest residents receiving deliveries. Three were fined after signing beer delivery receipts: John Armatrutz, Bertha Schulkee, and William Sullivan all on Cottage Grove avenues. Police claim keeping liquor on premises is illegal and warn arrests of prominent citizens unless new delivery methods are used.
