of the Park Driving Club and its
members. The Investigation Is be
hind closed ; doors and UUla "can be

gard to the organization, which has
been styled by a number of, prohi
bitlonlst in: the city rThe . Park
Drinking Club." ,: - ,::J ,

the following named members were
examined by the recorder: CoL R.
Colt, Messrs. Douglass Bradsbaw, Pat
Oglesby, J. A. Blvby, J. H. Emery and

It was stated yesterday afternoon
that one or more witnesses had told
the recorder that Police -Patrolman
Cliff Bell and Keeper of the Crema
tory N. A. Bernhardt were . members
of the club and often frequented the
place. If the club is prosecuted as a
blind tiger the positions of the .two
rltv amDlovea named may ' be en
dangered. On the other hand,. It-the
club Is not prosecuted, or if it is pros
ecuted and Is not convicted, the stand
ing of the men as officers will not be
affected.
The town Is expectantly awaiting
developments.
