DANCER HELD

Following raid at 4 a. m.
Thursday on the Ivy hotel, 1905 "
Pacific avenue, in which Mr.. and
Mrs. James Murray, the propri-
etors, and Marion Jackson, age
90, a dancer, were arrested, Chief
of Police Smith announced that
he would ask Prosecutor Remain
to start abatement proceedings
against the hotel at at once.
The hotel has been the scene of
several sensational raids the most
important one In November, 1916,
when frankie Belmont, who then
managed the place, was arrested
after a search had brought forth
large quantities of liquor.
Night Detective Captain Kin
caid, with Officers Osborne, Nor
ris and Nix, conducted the raid
Thursday morning after receiving
information that the hotel was a
distributing point for liquor.
Three Seattle men, whose auto
mobile broke down at 38th and M
streets at / a. M, and who were
slightly intoxicated, told the po-
lice that they had bought Their
booze from a passing automobile
and that the occupants of the car
said they we're delivering a ma
chine load of liquor from the Ivy
hotel to a rendezvous near Roy.
The license number of the auto
which was delivering the booze
was checked, and was found to
have been issued to MRS. M. e.
Dolan," 1205h Pacific avenue.
The car was later found in a down
town garage.
Eleven quarts of whisky were
found hidden in various parts OF
the hotel. The place was locked
up by the police pending an order
of the court closing in perma-
nently.
Miss Jackson, a dance hall girl,
was found in room in company
OF two men, the police say.
