RAID 40 SALOONS,
 MAKE 57 ARRESTS
By Associated Press

Hurley. Wis, December 2S.-Federal prohibition agents from Chicago visited nearly two-score saloons, arrested 57 persons and confiscated two loads of liquors in raid that started shortly before noon today and ontinued for sev- eral hours. The prisoners and evidence were first taken to Ironwood and thence to Ashland. Wis, where probably to- morrow the men will be arraigned be- fore a United States commissioner on a charge of violating the federal prohibit tion laws. The raid was undertaken at the direction of Judge eKnnesaw M. Landis of Chicago and was planned by Frank B. Richardson, newly appointed prohibition enforcement agent for this district
 The crowd that followed the agents down Silver street grew in few min utes to more than 200 persons. but there was no demonstration, no audible hints of violent opposition to the raid; in fact, the crowd seemed more disposed to make 1t the occasion for "a holiday. From the viewpoint of a surprise party, the affair was complete success, fed eral agents agreed Street cars were used to transport the agents, their pris- oners and their liquor from Hurley to Ironwood A sleigh drawn by two horses followed the agents in their clean up and hauled the liquor to the street cars. In Ironwood a dray met the street cars and took the liquor to special cars Moonshire, according to observers who pretend to know, constituted the. princi- pal wet haul.
