NEW HOTEL CECIL
 RA|OED BY POLICE
Twenty-Five Hundred Bottle of Beer are Seized by Officers and
 Taken to Headquarters.

SEATTLE, Jan. 18.-A squad of police descended on the new Cecil Hotel here late last night and raided the premises. Twenty-Five hundred bottles of beer were found stored in one of the rooms of which the pro- prietor held the key and he will be prosecuted for violation of the prohi- bition law. The beer was seized and taken to police headquarters.
 Chief of Police Lang has announced that there are several other blind pigs which will receive attention from his men in the near future as complaints have been lodged by wives that their husbands were spending their wages in their former hAunts as before the dry law went into effect.
 The police say that the proprietor of the Cecil has been reaping har- vest by charging double the price for beer since the prohibition law went into effect.

 The fight was started by the faction which had attempted to have the priest to whom they objected remov- ed from the parish, but who had been retained despite the charges which they had preferred against him.
 Knives, revolvers, clubs and other forms of missiles were used by the participants and many of the wound ed are suffering from severe knife wounds.
 The entire police force of the town was summoned to the church but were powerless as more than one hundred men took part in the battle. The interior of the church was wreck ed and the priests robes were torn from him. Several of the leaders of the faction who created the disturb ance have been arrested. They were released on bail.

EUROPEAN WAR BROUGHT
 RELIEF TO THE POOR

LONDON: Probably no part of Great Britain has been made radi- cally affected by the war than East London. A social reformer, desiring in days gone by to see poverty and squalor, in their acutest forms, natu- rally turned to the East End knowing that there he would find both in full measure.
 Today the East End has been trans formed. If poverty has not been en- tirely eliminated owing to the war, it has been at least ameliorated to an extent where the East End people are now living more comfortably than at any time in their existence. The men are working seven days week and drunkenness has nearly disap- peared, the money being spent for clothing and the comfort of life.

Cats and Witches.

In the middle ages, according to old
legends, witches and sorcerers assum-
ed the form Of cats. Their mysterious
movements and their eyes that glisten
In the dark may well have been the
cause Of this legendary transformation.
A German legend tells how a miller's
assistant spied large cat entering his
mill. Failing to scare it away, he
brought stick down on it's forefoot,
and it fed, squeaking horribly. Next
day he remarked that his wife had a
bruised arm, and it turned out that she
was witch who had taken the form Of
Grimalkin. The story reminds us of
the werewolf in Petronius who suf-
fered in the same way.-Chambers
