RAID PUCES AT SPRING GROVE WOMEN AND ONE IMiN TAKEN BY SHERIFF , WffllLV PERSONALS (Conserving the Nation's Resources w CONSTANT improvement in operating methods, in construction and in purchasing has resulted in many definite economies of operation from which our customers naturally benefit. The economies effected in the use of coal are particularly striking because a constant reduction of the average consumption of coal per kilowatt hour has been developed in the company's plants. Today, through increased efficiency in operation, it requires but 2.44 pounds of coal per kilowatt hour. In 1903 it took 23 pounds of coal to generate one kilowatt hour of energy, lliat this economy of the nation's resources is of first importance can be better appreciated when it is known that this company generated for its last year 366,843,534 kilowatt hours of electricity. • •• ?•>» K The company required 416,654 tons of coal in generating this vast amount of electrical energy. To anure itself of an ariaqnata supply of coal nactssaiy to maintain uninterrupted service to customers the company owns important coal mines. This arrangement has not only enabled the company to have a continuous and ample supply of coal, but has prevented the cost of coal used from increasing to the extent that ft would have otherwise. In addition to the great amount of coal used In operating fee etectric generating stations, the company's gas plants used 100,268 tons of coal last year, and made more gas from each ton of coal than •*erbefore. 4 "v.. t These economies resulting from central station service could not be passed on to customers in the form of greater service without the advantages that have been developed out of the consolidation into this company of many small and inefficient power plants. Naturally, these small companies could not draw upon the engineering skill, which a large company has available, nor could they provide the facilities necessary to maintain uninterrupted and satisfactory service. This company, constantly increasing its plant and distribution facilities, has but one purpose and that is, to give continuously good service to the greatest possible number of customers at the lowest practical cost • PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS * 5gS25 sqmcre miles of Unitary mehuBmg 177 G. E. McCollum, 101 Williams St, Crystal Lalfpi [Saturday's Woodstock Sentinel] Font women and one man were arrested by Sheriff Edinger and a party of deputies Friday night at Cole's corners, one mile east of Spring Grove, and brought to the county jail the same night. The raiding party, composed of Sheriff Edinger, Deputy Sheriff Hibbard, Vestie Muldoon, Assistant State's Attorney William Carroll, Lorry Edinger, Al. Freund and Arndd Lorenz, swooped down upon the two houses about 10:00 o'clock. The officers had warrants for the arrest of B. Judson, charged with operating slot machines, and also' for Mollie Morrison, alias "Jerry" Morrison, charged with conducting a house of ill fame. When the officers arrived on the scene they found three automobiles parked near one house and two cars at the other and visitors at' both places. There being ex-service men in the sheriff's party and the sheriff hinteelf an ex-lieutenant during the war, military tactics were adopted in making the raid, the two places being reached about the same tttne by a flanking movement. Judson and a woman who is supposed to be his ' w i f e r e s i d e d o n e plac$ aqd the Morrison woman and two girls were "utilizing the other place of abode. Two slot machines were confiscated from the Judson cottage and brought to Woodstock by the sheriff. In his home were also found many bottles of home brew and some liquor. The Judson woman, when she realized that a raid was in progress, grabbed one of the champion ticket sellers when the officers were not looking, walked to the kitchen door and threw it outside, smashing the container. The officers had gone to Spring Grove in two cars. On the return trip it was necessary to have additional accommodations for the increased party, so the sheriff called into service two of the cars of the vis itors, one being from Harvard and the other from Crystal Lake. Deputy Sheriff Hibbard reports that the name of one of the girls is Florence Ryan. The way he obtained the wdman's name was by selling her a ticket for the Legion's Fourth of July celebration in Woodstock. The others did not divulge their names before being placed in jail, but admitted that they were from Chicago. The Morrison woman is said to have conducted a place at Oakhurst, near McHenry, some time ago and the officials have had her under surveillance for quite a while. State's Attorney Lumley is filing informations against the five in county court, but at the time of going to press today they had not yet been brought before^ Judge Barnes. [Monday's Woodstock Sentinel] When the quintet, four women and one man, which Sheriff Edinger and his deputies picked up near Spring Grove' Friday evening, was brought before Judge Barnes in county court Saturday, charged on informations with conducting a lewd, common, illgoverned and disorderly house, having in their possession slot machines and being inmates of a house of ill fame, they all at first entered pleae of not guilty. They gave the names of B. Judson, Edna Smith, Geraldine ("Gerry") Morrison, Florence Ryan and Helen Kern. On their pleas of not guilty and demanding a jury trial Judge Barnes announced the amount of their bonds. After a little deliberation the Morrison woman and the two girls decided to change their pleas, when the court assessed a fine of $300 and costs for "Gerry" and $60 and costs for each of the two girls. Not being able to pay the amount they were taken back to the county jail. If they are unable to raise the money they will be forced to serve out the fines and costs at the rate of $1.50 per day. Judson and the Smith woman, who was at first supposed to be Judson's wife, refused to change their pleas and their bonds were placed at $1,500 and the case contihued to Thursday morning. In the informations Judson and Smith are charged with having slot machines and violating the prohibition act, as liquor was found in the house where they lived. In one count of the Morrison information she is charged with conducting a disorderly house and in another of having in her possession, a slot machine, which constitutes a gambling law violation. This machine was smashed and in it was found the sum of $20.50. The other machine taken from Judson's place has not yet been broken. One "friend" of the girls called on the sheriff Sunday and said he wanted to pay their fines, but when informed of the amounts he went away disappointed, the sum evidently being more than he cared to pay.
