New York, Feb. 1T (UP)-Te1as Guinan. whose "give the little girl a hand, boys" is tradition among the Broadway night clubs, spent sev- eral hours in jail today after federal prohibition agents raided the 1900 Club" arrested Texas and four other employees and seized a small quan- tity of liquor.
 Release of the entertainer was ef- fected on bail of s1,000 after her at torney, M. Michael Edelstein, ap- peared before Judge William Bondy in paddock term of federal court and argued that his client was not sub- ject to an injunction restraining the sale of liquor at the club.
 Edelstein said Miss Guinan was merely an employe of the corpora tion owning the 1900 Club" and had not been served personally with the injunction. It is understood she will be arraigned later in the week, charged with contempt of court.
 Miss Guinans brief sojourn in jail was attributed largely, federal officers said, to J. Walter Longscope, a youth said to be the son of a wealthy Philadelphia family.
 The story is that Lonscope. re- gently feeced Of s7,ooo in one night club acquired a grudge against the bright light places along the Rialto and became a prohibition agent. He was one of the officers who took part in the raid on the club where Texas was entertaining some 125 guests, including Lenore Ulric and Beatrice Lillie.
 Eighteen under cover" agents, in cluding several women, all dressed in evening clothes, made the raid and the festivities ended in the police court.
 The wealthy young man, bound for revenge. was one of the guests at the club. He was with woman com panion. At the appointed hour for the raid he asked Texas to sing "The Prisoners Song" and although she protested that it was old and stale she complied.
 Then the young man and his wom- an friend slipped down stairs, opened

PASSAGE 0F FARMERS
 RELIEF BILL LIKELY
Test Seems to Give Bloc Sufficient Votes to Send
 It to President a

Washington, Feb. IT (UP)-Pas- sage of the McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill was indicated by the house today when it rejected the Aswell substitute bill, IA to 160.
 The vote showed the farm bloc had sufficient votes to send the measure to the president in the form it passed the senate.
 The Aswell bill was similar to the McNary- Haugen bill, except that it contained no equalization fee pro- vision. It authorized loans to farm CTS through cooperative marketing associations.
 Rep. Haugen, rep, Iowa, co-author of the McNary- -Haugen bill, an- nounced he planned to keep tho house in session all night if neces- sary to force a final vote.
 He said his plan was the result of demands from several score mem bers, who wanted to dispose of the bill before adjournment.
 The sentiment of the members" Haugen said, seems to be in favor of disposing of the bill today and I must be guided by that sentiment. Of course if there Is a change in sentiment later in the day we will not carry out your plan to hold the house here to pass the bill"

Rules He Was ''Discredited State Official" and Not Entitled to Same Public Recognition Given at Passing of Other Former Officers.

State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. 17 P because G. Harold Gilpatric former state treasurer, was a dis credited state official" flags which had been flown at half-mast over the capitol, were ordered by Governor John H. Trumbull to be flown at the staff heads as usual, at noon to- day.
 Gilpatric, serving long sentence in Atlanta penitentiary for violation of the national banking laws, a con- fessed embezzler from the First Ma tional bank of Putnam, Conn.,, died of apopleNy yesterday. In conformity to custom when a state officer or a former state officer dies, the custo- dian of the capitol flew the flags at half-staff. Protest by telephone came to the custodian from some one in this city.

 Governors Order.
 MT. Congdon said he followed custom, and he felt that had not the flags been flown at half-staff it would have been "an affront to the family He was, however. he said, uncertain just as to the proper pro- cedure. Comptroller Salmon got in touch with Governor Trumbull, who at once gave an order to masthead the flags on the ground the state should not recognize Gilpatrics death in the same way that it has paid its respects to the passing of a state or former state officer. Gill patric, he said, was a "discredited state officer"
 Superintendent Congdon had the flags hoisted to full height immedi- ately. He, however, pointed out that there was no precedent for his guid- ance in such case as this. When U. s. Senator Frank B. Brandegee killed himself the capitol flags were flown at full staff.

Druggist Sells Liquor Later
 Gets Father;s Prescriptions
Gage Kent of Forestville
 Falls Into Net of Bristol
 Police and Is Fined S2oO.
(Speclai to The Herald)

NSlCNldI lo lHe 1eTdln) Bristol, Feb. 1.-The final gun in the campaign to clean up the dis
 pensing by drug stores of the city, of liquor on illegal prescriptions was fired this morning when Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather issued a
 warrant for the arrest of Gage Kent, pharmacist of Forestville. Two counts of selling liquor on illegal prescriptions were brought against
 Kent, the specific dates mentioned in the warrant being Janua " r and January 29th.
 When brought before Judge Jo- seph M. Donovan, Kent readily ad- mitted his guilt and a fine of S200 and costs was imposed. Kent in formed the court that he had sold liquor to various persons and that later on he had received prescrip- tions from his father, Dr. c. M. Kent, who practices medicine in Forest vile.
 Mir. Mather stated today that the drugstore situation has now been cleaned up four other drug store pro- prietors having been summoned to court within the past two weeks and fined for similar offenses. The com- plaints. which led to the investiga- tion, MT. Mathyr pointed out, had been received from all sources of the city and the practice of dispensing liquor on illegal prescriptions had been going on for about a year.
 With the disposal of the case to-
 day there is but one drug store left in the city holding a federal permit
 for liquor and which can legally dis
 pense liquor on prescription.
