Milwaukee. Wis.—By a peculiar
quirk of l'ate, enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws is preserving the bar-
room of the Kirby hotel, among the
last vestiges of old Milwaukee, and
the city's oldest hostelry.
A federal padlock protects the bar-
room while the remainder of the old
structure has been razed to make way
for an office building.
The Lincoln hotel barroom also has
been preserved by a padlock. Around
it. however, an office building is be-
ing built. The space occupied by the
sealed barroom will be a court. The
Federal court refused, to lift the pad-
locks, fastened because of liquor vio-
lations.
The Kirby hotel, built in 1S44. was
a political rendezvous, and ifiany ca-
reers began and ended in the coun-
cils it housed. Abraham Lincoln.
Horace Greeley. Ulysses S. Grant, Wil-

names were on its registers. /
Abner Kirby, once mayor of Mil-
waukee, was the early owner. He
designated his 136 rooms by names
Faded newspaper clippings teli of his
sending newlyweds to "Paradise," the
bridal suite, and inebriates to the
room called "Hell." He had bellboys
walk through the halls regularly snif-
fing for gas.
Kirby boasted of the comforts of
his hotel with the slogan, "Wake me
up when Kirlry dies," which he had
embroidered on napkins and stamped
upon menu cards and stationery.
The city council has been no more
successful in removing padlocked
structures than have private con-
cerns. The city widened Cedar street
to relieve downtown traffic. The
court refused to lift its order on a
closed place so that it could be re-
moved for the street widening.
