IN NEW YORK RAIDS

Taken in Wha|en'S General
Cleanup of Underworld.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 24.-Cells at
police headquarters were filled today
as a result of the first drive against
the underworld by Police Commissioner
Whalen's reorganized detective bureau
A week end cleanup which was
conducted without specific orders from
the newly appointed police head, netted
more than 1877 suspects, ranging from
persons wanted on murder charges to
ordinary panhandlers.
From the precinct stations suspects
were transferred to police headquarters
to await appearance in the daily line
up. Long before the drive had been
completed, accommodations at head
quarters were exhausted and orders
were issued to hold the overflow in sta
ton house cells.
Unofficial word that the subordinates
in the detective bureau who failed to
show results would follow their former
chief, Inspector John D. Coughlln, out
of the organization was said to have
inspired the activity.

ss1e First Lady have lost any of their
popularity throughout the country be-
cause of the drawing near of the end OF
their regime in the White House.
Among the gifts were numerous boxes
of flowers and candy and baskets OF
fruit. besides four live turkeys, and a
countless number of greeting cards and
telegrams and other messages OF good
wishes.
Although the departments were closed
today as a result Of an executive order
excusing the thousands of Federal en-
ployes from work so that they might
have all of today for a holiday, the
President did not take advantage Of this
order. He devoted the latter part OF
the forenoon to work. He was up even
earlier than usual, and, after his brief
morning stroll, went to his study on
the second floor of the White House
and dictated to his strenographer for
more than an hour.
Receives Several Callers.
Soon after completing this task, he
went to his desk in the executive ONCE,
&here he was busily engaged until the
luncheon hour. It was his aim to dis
pose Of as much routine business as
possible with the hope of leaving his
desk clean when he departs Tor his
visit to Sapelo Island.
The President made no engagements
for the day. but he interrupted his work
long enough to receive several business
callers, among them being Secretary OF
the Navy Wilbur.
The largest of the turkeys sent to the
White House has been prepared, and
everything is in readiness for the
Christmas dinner when the President
sets the time.
It is understood that the Presiden
and Mrs. Coolidge will follow theil
usual custom and attend special serv'
ives at the First Congregational Church

DRY GAINS NOTED
At VICTORY MEET
Prohibition Workers Plan
Ways to Make Laws More
Effective in United States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December 20.-Finding
America safe for prohibition" dry
leaders from many States gathered here
Yesterday to rejoice with song and
speech at the victory convention of
the Illinois Anti-Saloon League-and,
between rejoicing, to devise ways and
means for sharpening the teeth of the
prohibitory laws.
Superintendents from various sections
came to exchange notes on the election
of November and what it meant to
the cause of prohibition.
Among the reforms advocated we're
Jail sentences for buyers of liquor, who,
according to Dr. W. H. Nicholas, presi-
dent of the Illinois League, are equally
culpable with the men who SELL"
A resolution along those lines will be
presented today, asking that the buy
ing of liquor be made an offense and
that a jail sentence be mandatory for
a second offense.
I'VE want to make it unpopular for
the movies and newspapers to ridicule
prohibition and the persons who sup
port it and seek to promote it" he said,
we are going to appeal to the Ameri-
can peoples sense of fair play"
THE November election was the
greatest step forward for prohibition
in history was the message brought to
the convention by F. Scott Mcbride,
general superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of America.
Mr.. Hoovers election has presented
a great opportunity and has placed a
great responsibility upon the dry
forces" he said within the next four
years, the people of America will ex-
pect the eighteenth amendment to
reach its highest success. To secure
satisfactory prohibition results effective
State enforcement laws must. be en-
acted in Maryland, New York, Montana
and Nevada In the other States dry
legislation must be defended and
strengthened"
