lar gest ever gathered on such an oc-
casion, witnessed the raid.

tective Cox, Acting Sergeant Scriven,
and Military Policeman Tornadeen,
all of Number Pfecint, descended
on the home of Edith Miner. colored,
at 1910 Thirty-fourth street northwest
at s o'clock in the afternoon, and
captured sugar barrels full of empty
quart bottles and several full quart
bottles of whisky.
AS the policemen entered the house
they met one man coming out who
had just purchased a quart and they
discovered another one inside who
was in the act of buying quart The
house had been under suspicion for
some time and yesterday a runner
employed by the Miner woman tip
ped or the police, and the raid fol-
lowed. The woman was taken to the

RUN ON GERMAN BANKS
BRINGS DENUNCIATION
Financier Upbraids People for
'Senseless" Withdrawals.

London. Nov. 2.-According to a dis
patch sent out by the German wire
less today. DR.. Havenstein, president
of the Board of Directors of the I'm
perial Bank, speaking at recent
meeting of the central committee of
the bank. expressed great alarm at the
heavy Withdrawals of funds by the
people. DR.. Havenstein Is quoted as
saying:
Demands were made upon the I'M
perial Bank from September % to
October q which are without prece-
dent in the history of the bank. I'm
fortunately poiittsal and military
events or the last lew weeks have not
been met everywhere among the peo-
pie with that circumspection which
now has become doubly necessary.
''On the contrary, starting from the
Western frontier region Of the coun-
try and advancing deep into the coun-
try, completely senseless withdrawals
of balances from credit institutions
and the boarding OF bank notes have
developed to an increasing extent and
unfortunately. members of every class
of the population in the towns as well
as in the country have been guilty
of this senseless behavior, unmindfuI
of the fact that by the isolation OF
money-the blood OF our economic be-
ing-they have not only carried fear
farthur afiield but have most severely
damaged the whole of our economic
existence in times of the greatest
necessity" =

Mediterranean Freed
By Austrian Fall.

London, Nov. 2.-The Manchester
Guardian says: One of the many
happy results of the collapse of
austria is that apart from any
German submarines which may be
on their way back through Gtbral-

from submarine danger.
There is no truth in the report

A WEEKLY ADVANCE, JUDSC Even in her fear, born of the night. the circumstances, and partly of the man, Hazel noticed that his speech was of different order from that to which she had been listening the past ten days. His enunciatiOn was perfect. He dropped no word endings, nor slurred his syllables. And cast in so odd mold is the mind of civilized woman that the small matter of little refinement of speech put Hazel Weir more at her ease than volume of explanation or protest on his part would have done.

 He turned over the piece of meat on the coals while he spoke. Hazel saw that it lay on two green sticks, like q steak on a gridi;on. It was quite simple, but she would never have thought of that. iThe meat exhaied savory odors. Also. the warmth of the fire seemed good. ] But
