Wind Squall Hits Alton for Thirty Seconds This morning about o'clock Alton was visited by a squall of wind that. lasted not morn than 30 seconds but. It had a lot of power while it lasted. A light rain had been fulling, then suddenly there cnmo a RiiKt of wind thnt seemed to have a punch that, would have been appalling If It had continu- twcen tho men, averted the striking of blows. The meeting was adjourned until Thursday morning nt 11 o'clock.

During the meeting Commissioner Cook nroso and declared that last August 4 Chief of Police J. J. Barry showed discourtesy to two East St Louis citizens who wished to sign' bond for twelve women prisoners arrested in a raid. Cook said tho cltl- zeng were to In "abusive language" by Chief Barry, whom ho thought should make apologies. Ho said it took four hours to have these particular prisoners released on bond, while other prisoners for whom pro! fesslonal bondsmen interceded wero given their liberty Immediately.

Wished to Complete Knid Whalen protested that Cook was not "fair" to the Chief of Police, ing release of the prisoners was de- ilnyed because Barry wanted to complete the raid. Ho recalled thnt tho City Council recently instructed Barry to rid the city of gambling nnd other vices, nnd Intimated that tho men for whom Cook wns speaking were drunk when they attempted to sign the bonds. The argument waxed hot, with Whalen asserting the two men in question ns well ns Cook were "all oiled up," while Mayor Stephens, presiding, pounded for order with a glass tumbler. The presiding Commissioner declared "You nro all out of order," but no nttention wns paid to the words. The word "liar" wns passed by AVhalen In answer to a refernco made to his brother by Cook, and Whalen, in belligerent mood, took off bis glasses nnd appeared ready to strike Ills opponent.

amhulnnco loads of alleged booze of social various brands and varieties. Kramer was arraigned In tho police court and was fined $250 by Police Magistrate Connors for having liquor In his possession and 535 for having a slot machine. The raid was carefully planned after a tip had been received that booze was being sold at the Kremer place. A half dozen or more officers sur. rounded'the place and went In at all entrances.

They put the proprietor under arrest nnd began a search of the place, while a crowd of several hundred cur- ous spectators gathered outside. In the back of the saloon and back of the bar they found approximately 45 cases of homebrew, a halt dozen ten- gallon Jugs of alleged "mule" and whisky. Thero was also a large quan- tlty of mash and even a half sack of sugar. No still was found, but from the nature of the contents ot tha building, It was natural to suspect that thero waa a still somewhere in the vicinity although It was not located at the timo of the raid. A slot machine was also found.

The quantity secured la great. The officers thought that it could be taken at one load, but as they piled in the Jugs and cases ono by one, the ambulance was quickly filled. The ambulance proceeded to the police station and returned for the second load and the ambulance was filled again. The confiscated supply of booze was stored In the city building and will be poured Into tho sewers. An attempt was made to get rid of a large quantity of It this morning but it was a burdensome Job and it will require some time before all of it can be dumped In the ordinary manner of pouring it out bottle by bottle.

Joe Meyir Fined Following tlio raid on Kremer place, the raiding squad proceeded east on Broadway and visited the Joe Meyer place at Broadway and Cherry street. Downstairs is a filling station, but upstairs in tho club rooms the raiding squad found a large quantity of alleged beer, but not by any means as large a supply as at tho Kremer place. This was hauled to the police station and Meyers was put under arrest and arraigned In the police court this morning, being assessed a fine of 5250 and costs for having whisky In his possession. One report was that a club waa preparing to have a picnic and had stored up a quantity of beer to be consumed at the picnic.
