the top floor Of a Penn street store building.
The detectives conhscatcd a crap" table,
poker chips, playing cards and liquor The
proprietor and a dozen players were taken
to city Han with the confscatcd gambling
equipment.
The prisoners had an immediate hearing
before Magistrate Weber. Lands was held
in $500 bail for court for maintaining n
gambling house and the others were re-
leased to appear as witnesses when wanted
The raid was planned and carried out by
Mayor Filbert and District Attorney Roth
ermcl They met Al the Mayors office at
midnight and summoned dozen detectives.

DEMAND FOR 1916 TOBACCO
Lancaster County's Crop Admitted to
Be Of Fine Quality

LANCASTER. Pa. Feb, 12.---The great
demand for Lancaster County's 1915 to-
bacco is regarded as conclusive evidence Of
it's high quality, The leaves are not as
large as might be desired, but il has the
right color fine bouquet and a good
burn.
While local packers were shy about buy
ing this crop because of the high prices
demanded by the growers and paid by big
outside cigar manufacturing firms without
dcmur, they yet procured about twenty per
cent Of II, and already all but about $500
cases have been sold at a handsome profit
and that, too, with little or no handling by
the buyers. Many of these simply trans
ferred their contracts and pocketed the
profits.
This has caused considerable dssatisfac-
tiOn among the growers, who think they
were induced to sell at too low a figure In
consequence. they declare there will be no
more selling on the field for them as they
will hold their crops until stripped They
see now that those who held on for late
selling are getting the top-notch prices
The first of the crop sold as low as twelve
cents a pound, while the bulk of it COM
half cents, and lately it has been selling
for twenty cents pound. The growers
who still have some now ask twenty-one
cents. As evidence of the difference in price
between the 1915 and 1916 crops il NAV be
stated that a prominent cigar manufactur-
ing firm of Cleveland, o., had to nav
$4,000 more for the same quantity of 1915
tobacco than it paid for its 1915 goods.

Anti-Saloon League leaders but liberal
