dence that persons so engaged are vag-
rants, according to an order published
by Brigadier General Jacob F. Wolters,
sent to Mexia, Texas, several weeks
ago by Gov. Pat M. Neff to restore or
der and break UP alleged trafficking in
whisky and drugs.
General VOTERS orders were follow
ed by an announcement that the mill
tary had arrested 72 persons in a raid
on a domino parlor a few steps away
from military headquarters and that
police had taken several scores in a
similar raid. The vagrancy charges
would be preferred against such pris-
oners before the civil authorities, 1t
was said.
