We Will Help You to Save Safely jjnrtrfjrr fcatofngs an!) Company SEVERAL MEN CONCERNED IN BOY’S RELEASE Lad of 15 Held on Charge of Operating Blind Tiger. Albert Owens, 15, 722 South New Jersey street. Is held by the police on the charge of operating a blind tiger. Owens was arrested Sunday when Patrolmen Hostetter and Okey found him in East Court street near East street with a half pint of "white mule” whisky In his pocket. He claimed he was 18 years old, but yesterday his mother appeared at police headquarters and informed the police the boy Is only 15. Then he was taken to the detention home. He refused to tell the police where he obtained the liquor, but the unusual efforts of several men to obtain the release of the boy is causing a special police Investigation. Ed Johnson, 82, negro, 1310 H North Senate avenue, was surprised yesterday. A police sergeant and a squad of officers went to the North Senate address to search for whisky. Some of Johnson’s friends “tipped” him that he had visitors and told him they were waiting In the hall way. Johnson went to the rear of the building and scaled the wall by climbing on two electric light wires. As he pushed np the sash of the second story window and reached through he found himself seized by the strong arm of the law In the person of Sergeant Deeter who was waiting In the room. Johson was dragged through the window. "I though you were waiting In the hall," said Johnson as he looked from the sergeant to the half gallon of white mule whiskey setting In a basket on the floor. Johnson Is charged with operating a blind tiger. Oscar Stewart, 20, 60 South Summltt avenue, was arrested early today on the charge of operating a blind tiger. FILES SUIT TO CONTEST WILL B. J.
