Padlocks on 100 Homes in Omaha Sought & U. S. Attorney and Booze Agents Making List Against Which Injunctions Will Be Asked. District Attorney J. C. Kinsler an nounced yesterday that applications will be made immediately for injunc tions putting padlocks on nearly 100 homes in Omaha where convictions have been obtained on charges of sell ing booze. "We contend, the same as Judge Farris of the Missouri district, that any house where booze Is sold be comes a 'shop'," said Kinsler, "and we will ask immediately for injunc tions ordering the places named to lw> closed for one year under the pro hibition enforcement laws. "Just because a man has a bed and a table in a place doesn't make it a home if he sells in tile house. Then it becomes a shop.” No Tyranny Planned. District Attorney Kinsler said that according to Judge Ferris' opinion a bakery shop could be a house where bread is baked and sold. “In the same way a house is a ‘liquor*shop' where the wheat and the rye and the barley are made into liqquor in stead of bread.” Judge Ferris brought out in his opinion. Kinsler said lie is not aiming to he a tyrant or a persecutor, but he is going to make It "as tough as pos sible” for every one who violates the federal laws. “We hope to close about 100 houses for a year the same as wc slapped the padlock on more than 50 buildings last year," said Kinsler. Whole rami lies Fined. ^ Bootleggers who sought mercy by entering pleas of guilty in federal court ware handed two-fisted wallops by Federal Judge Woodrough. Husbands and wives, charged joint ly with bootlegging, were given jail sentences. Whole families were assessed heavy fines. Second offenders will spend the rest of the summer days behind the bars of the county jail. Philip C. Lynch, brother* of the former county commissioner, John Lynch, was one who sought clemency by admitting guilt. He got 30 days. He was charged with illegal sale and possession. Carl sand Nuncla DeMarco, husband and wife, "second offenders,” will serve 30 days each in the county jail and pay $200 each to get out. They will occupy separate cells. Husbands and WiTes. Mr. and Mrs. Sebastiano Ingalais were also given 30 days and fined $100 each. Mr. and Mr*. Frank Szwicki were new to the bootlegging business, they told the Judge. Judge Woodrough sentenced Frank to 15 days in Jail. The wife was fined $100. "Let me serve Instead of my hus band," she pleaded with Woodrough. Judge Woodrough said he didn’t mind. By late afternoon, as the temperature rose, Mrs. Szwicki changed her mind. Her husband look the jail sentence ^#Mr. and Mrs. Fred H. Sperry were f iled $100. It was their first offense. Charles Gemma and his wife, Mary. weren’t so fortunate. They received a jail sentence of 3 5 days and $100 fine, respectively. Whole Family Guilty.

The son, Sebastiano, was given a 15 day jail sentence and the daughter, ftose, was fined $100. Lydia Ulrich, who unknowingly ’’bawled out'' one of the federal agents for being a "tin horn sport,” because he only spent $4 for booze, was given a 10-day sentence and a $200 fine. "I have men spend as high as $200 in my place in one night,” she told the fed eral agent as he posed as a poor workingman. Retired Farmer Fined. Charles W. Willis. the retired farm er from Los Angeles, who was arrest ed by Samardick's crew, was lined $200.
