POLICE DID NOT KNOW
RAID WAS TAXING PLACE:
when the military police OF Camp
Lee arrived in this city they acted upon
their own initiative. The aid Of not
single member Of tho Police Depart
mcnt was solicited nor invoked Not a
mcmcr or official of the Police DEPART
mcnt knew that the raid was TO take
place Tuesday night. and none of these
officials were informed when Captain

Mayor Ainsl;e said yesterday that
his police secret service fund amounted
TO only $500. but that his petition to
the Common Council asking for an
increase OF $1,000 was pending before
that body.
Much pressure has been brought to
bear to have the ruling OF the Score
in ri
zone law increased to thirty miles. If
this action would be taken Richmond
would be Included. and the military
police would maintain constant sur
vaillance here.
RED CROSS OFFICIALS
BECOME HIGHLY INDIGNANT
Richmond people woke up Yesterday
morning and were accorded one OF the
greatest surprises OF recent years. On
all sides nothing but the highest com
mcndaton is heard for the manner in
which the provost guard conducted the

there was no attempt to make grand

'ion of what would happen unless Rich

Officials of the Richmond Chapter OF
the Red Cross are indignant and much
aroused over the masquerading in Red
Cross uniforms of four women found
in the Smith house Immediately after
her case had been disposed OF In court
They are demanding that these women
be produced and accorded their merited
punishment.
Rev. J. T. Mastin. D. D.. secretary
Of the State Board Of Charities and
Corrections, said yesterday that he re-
carded the laxity of law enforcement
throughout Virginia as to vcnercal
diseases as alarming. He attributed
this to the fact that local officials in
Virginia cities did not realize the
changed conditions brought about by
the war. and were too prone to con-
duct their inquiries and activities along
tho old lines of procedure which OBJ
tanned prior to the present world war.
FEAR SOLDIERS MAY be
BARRED FROM RICHMOND

gard the situation at Richmond and

clared cut off from all men wearing
