'DRY OFFICERS RAID
TWO ROOF GARDENS
Four Men Arrested in Quiet
Trips to Arlington and lie
Paradis Dance Floors.

Police and revenue agents last night
struck two more blows at the night life
on local roof gardens. raiding the Ar
lington Hotel and the LIE Paradis roof
around midnight and arrestng four
persons.
While the raid on the Arlington roof
was in progress, by Z strange coinci-
I Am" Under Divisional Chief Harry
l. Luckett of the prohibition unit and
Lieut. Davis of the police vice squad
four raiders worked quietly among the
crowd and picked up two men on
charges of drinking in public and il
George c. Tuey, $40 Indiana avenue, a
deputy United States marshal. and the
other was Charles Esan. 92s Massa-
chusetts avenue. Both were released
at the second precinct on personal rec
ogniBance.
Following the Arlington Hotel roof
raid the agents moved their attention
to LIE Paradis, where they made two
arrests on similar charges-dripking in
public and illegal possession Of liquor.
Those arrested were Fred Harper. 1861
Church street. clerk, and Jacob Wall
ters. 1917 r street. a student.
Each was released on $35 collateral
for appearance in the police court to-
morrow morning. The LIE Paradis raid
last night was greatly similar to the
one on the Arlington roof in that it
was engineered so quietly that patrons
of the roof garden were unaware of
its progress.
Among features OF the raid on the
Arlington roof was a strategic hurting
of q bottle containing liquor to Yer
mont avenue from the roof.
According to Chief Luckett these
raids are part Of recently planned
campaign to make it ''supremely un-
comfortable" for any one to violate the
Volstead act on local roof gardens

is cited as sufficient basis for the
confident optimism which all the
delegates insist on maintaining in
the face Of the seemingly unsolvable
problem of satisfying the investors
and agents that whatever money is
loaned to Germany for applying the
Dawes plan will be safe.
The delegates say they have the
right to be happy over completing
the technical details associated with
such problems as the fiscal and
economic unity of Germany, for i,
was upon these very questions that
the previous conferences had been
wrecked.

S1,5DO,0DO SOUGHT :
FOR NEW SEWERS
City Expected to Ask This
Sum for Work in Next
Fiscal Year.

Although rapid strides will be
made during this fiscal year in ex-
tending Washington's sewer system
is reported that the Commissioners
will ask for close to $500, 900 more
for sewer construction in the new
budget.
For the next twelve months the
sewer department has $so5,ooo to
spend on all classes of sewer build
ing. Although this is $4,000 more
than Congress appropriated last year
it is about million dollars less than
the sewer engineers asked.
There are two distinct phases OF
sewer development. One is to ex-
tend connections to all new dwell
ings as they are completed. The
other is to lay the larger pipe lines
necessary to carry off storm water
and surface drainage.
Must Meet Current Needs.
Until comparatively recent date
the sewer department was unable &C
keep pace with the demand for serv-
ice sewers for the hundreds of houses
built following the war. The situa-
ton in this respect is greatly i'm
proved. but substantial appropriations
will still be needed in future to keep
abreast Of building development.
The current appropriation for eN-
tending sewer service to new dwell
ings under the assessment system Is
$250.00O.
Between now and next Spring. the
District will spend 100000 in con-
tinuing work on the Rock Creek main
