there as the result Of the raid made
yesterday afternoon by Baltimore po-

There was a remarkable scene at the
local Jail today and many of the en-
forced guests were complaining bitterly.
though the county officials were doing
all they could to help them. Tho prts-
onsrs were locked up in Baltimore attn ,, last 81
about in the morning.
The best that the Jail could do was
70 supply satisfactory breakfast to
about ten at a time, and the relays Of
prisoners at ravenously as they were

or SO out at a time. The prisoners were
1nassed near the door, and each time

the number could not be increased. and
at II o'clock there still were some who
had not been fed.
The prisoners were distinctly down

pressed confidence in being able to pre-
vent any charge from sticking" I"

would a bond Of less than $1,000 be
accepted. and this must be with gilt.
edge security. He pointed out that the
maximum fine in the case was $500. ant
that at least twice this sum as a bal
hond must be secured before 1t would
be considered.
This has proved a crushing blow tc
the prisoners. but their counsel are still
hopeful of satisfying tho States attor,

and furnishing it In a FORM that will b.

that many Of tho accused will not bt

may mean that they will have to remair

The unexpurgated anti-suffraSe speech
of CONGRESSMAN Bowdle Of Ohio in the
House last week Is TO be circulated u
sufrrasists as a campaign document On
the ground that it represents the IN

votes for women.
This action was decided on at
meeting under the auspices of the
Mems League for Woman Suffrage,
held last night in Typographical Temple
to protest against the speeches OF some
Of the members OF Congress during the
debate on the equal suffrage amend

Charles Edward Russell made the

Not only poolroom frequenters, but

or occasional patrons of the Maryland

The poolroom was onducted in a

The fence was set back about twenty

Precautions Taken at First.
During the first few weeks that the
pool room was operated there was the
utmost secrecy. Membership" cards
were given only to those whom the
proprietors knew were "all right" and
no one was admitted without a card.
But in the last few weeks. especially
since the holidays. the restrictions have
been relaxed. Tickets for admission
have been available at saloons, restau.

have been larger. So many have gone
