MAN ESCAPED
DURING RAID
UNDER ARREST
Police Were Ordered to Arrest
ChristopheTson on Sight
WAS NABBED BY JENSEN
| Claim Made That Man Wanted
Has Been Seen In Streets
Since Gambling Raid
WAS NABBED BY JENSEN

Elmer "Whitey" Christopherson,
one of the men who escaped in the
raid on q Palace hall gambling game
early Sunday merning, was yesterday
arrested by Roundsman Andrew Jen-
sen, who conducted the night raid on
the crap-shooters. Although orders
had been given by Chief Burke to his
men on Monday morning to arrest
Christopherson on sight 1t was not un-
til yesterday that the arrest was made
and then 1t was done by Roundsman
Jensen who was In charge of the Sat
urday night cleanup. Christopher
son, although disappearing from the
hall during the raid, is said to have
been In this city ever since the raid
and was seen on the principal streets
The fact that Christopherson was
permitted to be at large when Chief
Burke had ordered his arrest, cou-
pied with the fact that thee policemen
vouched for the appearance of several
of the men caught In the raid. would
give still more weight to the state
ment made by Chief Burke Monday
morning that they must be In
league with the gamblers when they
are so willing to vouch for their ap-
pearance."
When arraigned before Recorder
Harold e. Pickersgill this morning
Christopherson pleaded guilty tc
having been In the game but denied
that he was managing it. Accord
ing to the reports secured by police
and turned over to Chief Burke, this
| man is generally charged with being
the ringleader and owing to these
reports Recorder Pickersgill released
him under bail for further hearing
in the case tomorrow night.
All of the other men arrested ir
the raid were permitted to go free
upon payment of $25 when they
were arraigned before Recorder
Piekersgill on. Monday morning.

MAKING EUROPE
SAFE Is TASK
Council of League of Nations
Will Attempt to Remove
Senseless Regulations.
laY Assoelated Press. )

San Sebastian, Spain, July 31--Mak-
ing all of Europe safe for legitimate
travellers was one of the problems
which occupied the council of the
League of Nations at its first session
here today, presided over by Count
Quinones de Leon, the Spanish ambas-
sador to France.
The object of the council has in view
is to remove the vexation and unjus-
titled excess by new regulations which
would make it possible for passengers
to take through trains in safety and
comfort.
Applications of DEGREES prohibiting
expectation of money from different
European countries was also consider
ed by the councillors.
Another question of discussion was
the payment of the expenses OF the
Sarre basin boundary commission. No
decision on this was reported after the
meeting but it is understood France
and Germany probably will be asked
to share the expenses.
Reports on the dispute between
Sweden and Finland for possession of
the Aland islands showed statements
from both countries had been received.
These will be examined by a commits
sion of jurists beginning August 9.
