WOMEN CAUSED THE
 RAINIER CLUB RAID

SEATTLE, Jan. 19.--Chief of Po- lice Lang, who has been made the target for bitter attacks in several of the Seattle newspapers because he caused the fashionable Rainier club here to be raided and the liquors seiz- ed, says that he was forced to take action as many women had complain ed that their husbands were securing liquor at the club.
 It is asserted that during Sunday afternoon three prominent women, whose husbands are members Sf the club, had telephoned to police head quarters that their husbands had re- turned home in an intoxicated condi- ton after spending a few hours at favorite haunt. One of the women informed Chief Lang if he failed to take action that she would lay the matter before the attorney-general of the state.
 The prosecuting attorney is confi- dent of securing a conviction in both the Rainier Club and the New Hotel Cecil cases as the attorney-general of the state has ruled that social clubs cannot maintain lockers in their rooms and that individuals must have permits for their liquor in their pos sessiOn.-Ex.
