IN which the beverages of the thirsty
seafaring men of the yacht club are
stored in the intervals during their
regular Sunday cruises.
Attorney Greenstein said today: II
don't intend to prosecute any more
clubs until the question of the present
cases that are before the court Of
Common Pleas. the Cedar Creek Yacht
Club and the North End Gun Club,
is disposed of by that court.
THE question before the court is
simply whether or not a club can sell
to its members and whether a sale to-
it's members constitutes violation OF
the law. In view of the facts that
the law as it stands today is so un-
certain. and We have no precedent TO
go by, have made up my mind that
shall delay any further action along
these lines until we hear something
definite from the court above
"As to the raid of yesterday, il was
handled by the police on complaint
They acted in the best of faith and
found that beer was being dispensed
down there. I was called in and L
found it to be another club case. and
discharged. So long as the place is

quenters could not be held. The only
question that remained was whether
the steward Or proprietor should be
held.
81 have made up my mind that I
sflan't prosecute any more club cases
unless evidence is presented to me that
there is sale made to non-members.
That evidence was not forthcoming
yesterday AS to the sale to non
members the law is very clear but
where evidence of such sale is lacking
until 1 hear from the higher court
shall issue no further warrant. I be-
fieve I may speak for my colleague.

Supt. Birmingham was plainly dis
appointed at the outcome of the raid.
These clubs are nothing more nor
less 4an blind, organized for the
izs h-sse oI evading the liquor laws"
said he.

with very few exceptions showed the
effects of drink. Two were so drunk

Special to The cate City.l


LEAVENWORTH, Kansas, March 4.
The bankers colony at the federal
prison was decreased by seven late
this afternoon when Frank G. Bige-
low, the millionaire banker of Mil
waukee and former president of the
American Bankers Association, and
six others were released
Bigelow, the most prominent of
those released headed the seven. He
was followed closely by Thomas Cog
hill, former cashier of the Seymour
National Bank of Seymour, Wis, who
was convicted of $4,000 shortage.
Both men walked briskly and many
who did not know them thought they
were lawyers who had been visiting
clients.
A few minutes later, Tommy Hayes,
formerly paying teller in Washing
ton, d. c., bank, who at one time en-
joyed the distinction of being the
fastest paying teller in the world, is
sued from the prison portals. He had
just served two years of five gear
sentence for shortage.
Four others were released a short
time later. All were pardoned as re-
suit of the recommendations of the
pardon board which were approved by
Attorney General Wickehsham.
| The effects OF Bigelow's confne-
ment for a little less than six years
was apparent in the added lines
I about his face, and the tinted gray OF
| his hair. He had nevertheless, the
elasticity of step of the average man

/ Bigelow and Hayes were conducted
from the prison walls for a distance
iof a quarter of mile across the

/ Bigelow looked about him with in
different interest. Both men were sill
ent until they reached the small sta
tion which is the terminus of the

There during a wait of few min
utes Bigelow turned and gazed at
the prison walls. Il do not care to
talk of my experience inside there, "
Bigelow said in response to a ques-
tion. What | desire to do chiefly is
to forget them. Do j regret my days

WASHINGTON, March 4.--In a
burst Of Indignation over the trend Of
democracy IN thes senaSe. Senator

seat in that body at noon today, and
this evening took it back again. Ex-
citement that ragged during the after
noon gave way to surprise that he had
reversed in so short a time, matter
Of such Importance.
Bailey's resignation sent by wire to
the governor of Texas, was not only
declined by the governor, but hun
dreds wired him to stick to his job
In the senate.
His democratic colleagues took him
in hand and in long conference,
headed by Paynter, (dem, Ky.) in the
senate office building, urged that he
made a grave mistake. Their per
suasion finally won him over and
Bailey agreed not to leave them
Eleven democratic senators signed
statement expressing confidence in
Bailey and his policies and practically
proclaiming him their leader.
These developments probably fore.
shadow the creation of two factions in
the next senate. One will be led by
Bailey, Bacon of Georgia, and PaynteI
of Kentucky. The other will look to
Owen, of Oklahoma, who has ad
| yanced ideas on political questions
for leadership.
Bailey contributed one of the sen
sations of the session today. Wore
of his resignation was flashed through
| the senate just after adjournment an6
there was excitement comparable tc
| that which attends the news of sud
den disaster. The big Texans actor
