TWO LISTS SEIZED
BY LIQUOR RAIDERS
One Found in Sixteenth
Street Apartment May Fur
nish important Evidence.

Fashionable Sixteenth street be-
came. the scene of operations of dry
raiders today, when Capt. Doyle of
the eighth precinct and Prohibition
Agent Asher, accompanied by police
and other agents, raided the apart
ment of Chris Evans, at 1915 Six
teenth street.
They failed to find Evans at home,
but confiscated about a dozen bottles
of alleged sherry wine, a quantity of
gin and alcohol, and discovered two
lists"
The first list contained names which
could not be identified Immediately
and was evidently a list of debtors,
the debts exceeding $4,000. The sec
ond list furnished the raiders some
thing to puzzle over. They believe
the figures refer to money, but the
dollar sign was missing. If correct
in their deductions, Asher declared,
it was felt that evidence of impor-
tance was discovered. 4.r =
This second list was as follows:
"Malts.
800 cases pick ed malt, $4,000
Carload old Dependable 1000.
