KIDS MAY BE ELOPERS
Behind the action taken by the Whole
sale Liquor Dealers' As.oc'atlon in the
License Couu this afternoon Is a plan said
lo be aimed at the elimination of the
"speak-easy." At the outset of the pro
feedings Joseph 1, McAleer. representing
the association, filed a petition against the
Fell Brewing Company seeking to prevent
this concern from selling straight to the
consumer.
This pioccdure, Mr McAletr contended,
violated the act of lsyi, which piohll.its
bieweiles fiom selling to consumers direct.
The attorney also declared that it tended
tovvaid the development of ' speak-iaslos."
Many lrgulaily licensed baloons con

are looking for Nellie the Tomboy,
Charles Claik of 230G W.Uklns street,

fur a hearing this morning.

"Well. Nellie." gasp;d one of the boys,
after a good deal' of squirming
Whereupon the spectators, consisting of

they mumbled, "Nellie the Tombov we

"Nellie what?" demanded the Maglstiate
