SECOND ARREST ON BOOTLECCINC CHARCE Employer of Youth Awaiting Trial Caught by Officer Distributing Beer. The report of a Russian invasion of Evanston last week has been denied by a visit to the Evanston Russian Polish quarters. The Russian Poles come and go in a moBt irregular fashion. The colony now numbers about 500 persons located in the southern part of Bvanston, in the vicinity of Flor- ence avenue and Washington streets. Most of the foreigners are housed in cement block houses owned by John Becker, who has large interests in the ice business about that vicinity. There are about twenty apartments in one of the houses and each apartment has from tour to five rooms. The rent for these averages about $15 a month. Most of the housewives shpw their thrif tiness and keep the homes in good, neat order. However; there are a few instances where filth exists. A large number of Poles are em- ployed by the Marx Manufacturing concern and in the large brick yards in the south part of Evanston. They receive good wages, most of them averaging over $18 a week. * The com- pany's managers say that they are good workers. The Russians save their money and in the last year have bought much property in that vicinity. Drunken Brawls Frequent. Only a few of the people can speak English and from the gleanings of their statements they say that about twenty-five or ihtrty" Russians- wili enlarge the colony in a few days and that these will not come from Phila- delphia, as reported, but will come direct from the old country, northern Russia. There are only a few who leave each year from their ever in- creasing numbers and these do not take much American money back witn them. The foreigners have an appetite for beer and this feature of their little world in Evanston has caused them much trouble. There Is scarcely a Saturday or Sunday night that some- one is not injured in a drunken brawl. A "blind pig" Is run In the apartment building and in this way they take a large income from Nick Brosius, who at flrsf tried to bully them out of competing with him. A new Polish church has been built for their benefit and a school is being planned to give the Polish children a good education. The people all seem to fear outsiders and they will not give a word of information in regard to anything pertaining to their tribesmen. The Poles are in the ter- ritory called "Efgtown," which will be voted on in regard to annexation to 'Evanston, April 1. «AL I»TAT« THANSF1M.
