by membership, granted only on the
highest recommendation, and admit
lance to the club was by an unmarked

After repeated failures to gain en-
trance to the club, police last Satur-

wanted the place raided because her
husband neglected the family for the
sociability of the club.

club and arrested an alleged bartender
and three negro helpers and contiscat'

brass footballs, Sawdust on the floor
and an atmosphere reminiscent of pre-
Volstead days.
The detectives posted themselves at
the entrance and secretly photo.

lulod strips in a bank vault for safe
keeping and declared they will not be
removed until the scheduled matinee.
