 tieth Street Place SECOND TIME WITHIN WEEK Coup Was Executed Before Dark and Members Were Taken Completely
 By surprise-one Man
 Got Away.
SECOND TIME WITHIN WEEK

Another raid on the social club in the second story of the building at 113 North Twentieth street resulted in the ar rest of 20 men yesterday afternoon. This raid happened about 5:30 o'clock and was the second upon this particular club dur ing the past week. The former one was made about the same time of day and re- suited in the arrest of 13 men.
 Twenty-one men were in the club at but one managed to slip out during the excitement and was a block away run ming like scared rabbit before his es- cape was noticed by the officers. The officers are authority for the statement that he broke all running records in his dash for freedom and when he dsap- peared around a corner after several blocks run he appeared to be running even faster than when he started.
 Yesterdays raid was made by the sher- iff's department under a prohibition war rant. which was sworn out by a private citizen. Deputies making the arrest were Chief Deputy Lucien Brown and Depu- tlcS 1NeWt CuFlY Lee t1lBuOHy Ndue <AiieHy Alec Wilson and George Courson.
 It was quietly arranged and the build ing was surrounded without the "club members" inside being aware of their approaching arrest. When they did real ize that danger was lurking near there was wild scramble for hiding places, but there was hardly a place to hide. One fellow tried to push the side wall of the building out in his wild anxiety to gain liberty but was pulled away by the officers before he had bulged it very much.
 After lining the prisoners up and eye ing them sternly, the officers marshaled them into a regular marching procession and they performed the "social club lock step'' to the county jail, step which has been seen a great deal on the streets of Birmingham during the past two weeks great crowd gathered in front of the club building eager for a look at the procession and to see Just who got caught.
 At the county jail they were marched into the corridor just inside the heavy iron door About half of the number succeeded in making bond. while the oth- CTS were allowed the freedom of the cor rjdor until midnight in hopes that some friend on the outside would show up with an eligible bond.
 A failure to make bond means that this unfortunate person must remain in the county bastile for two or three months at least and possibly much longer before a trial.
 Quite a number of those who were cap tured in the two raids Saturday night are still in the county jail owing to their inability to make bond. There are also 8 few of those who were arrested in the raid On the Avondale soft drink estab- lishment Sunday before last in the bas- tile. Two of those secured in this raid succeeded in making bond yesterday. The raids which the sheriffs depart1 ment has made during the last two weeks have, caused feeling of decided uneasi- ness among the various social clubs. and it has been a rare thing during the last few days to find one of them open after nightfall.
 Exactly 15O arrests have been made by the sheriff's department in these raids The number of persons arrested however will amount to but little over 140, some having been arrested two and three times One man in particular has been arrested in early every raid
