FRAT HOUSE FACES
paddock ACTION.
Raid Is Believed to Have
Exposed Bootleg Ring
at Illinois u.

BY the Associated Press.
URBANA, Ill, November ia
liquor raid by county officers on the.
Gamma Eta Gamma fraternity house
early yesterday has brought 35 Uni
versity of Illinois students face-to-face
with the prospect of arrest and expul-
sion from school.
Twelve gallons of alcohol, gin and
whisky were confiscated at the fraterni-
ty house, which. officers said, was being
used as headquarters for ring of stu
dent bootleggers, who, they believed, had
been operating all Fall. The Gamma
Eta Gamma house is three blocks from
the university campus.
States Attorney Cline and Sheriff
Shoat said paddock action would be
started to close the place as a public
nuisance.
Three Students Arrested.
Three students were arrested. Will
liam Sherman of Crown Point, Ind,
sophomore, was held by officers to have
been the leader in liquor sales. Alfred
J. Whithers of Hibbing, Mimi, fresh
man, and Ernest Longbons of Marion,
Ill, a. Junior, were the other two held.
Preliminary investigation led Sheriff
Shoat to believe that bootlegging had
been going on since school started in
September, alcohol being purchased at
$12 a gallon and sold for $32. 1t was
believed that only few students were
actually involved in the sale of liquor,
but officers regarded the entire fraterni-
ty as implicated.
j. d. Lewis of Orchardville, Ill. preSi-
dent of the fraternity, pledged that all
members would be present whenever the
States attorney wanted to question
them. When students at the fraternity
house were questioned Immediately aft
err the raid all denied knowledge of any
liquor in the house.
Trunk Yields Alcohol.
The raiders said a trunk owned by
Withers yielded a 5-gallon jug of AL
cohol, and that gallons of whisky were
found in Longbons' trunk. The other
liquor was found in various caches about
the house.
B. w. Hoare, student of the School
of Engineering, admitted, under ques-
tioning, that he had made LIQUOR DUR
chases at the fraternity, police said. He
was released on his promise to hold
himself ready to testify.
Saturday was Dads day at the Uni
versity of Illinois. and several thousand
fathers were in Champaign and Urbana
for the occasion.
Gamma Eta Gamma is a national
law school organization. Officers said If
ownership of liquor could be traced to
individuals the fraternity itself might
escape paddock action.

 He was not a rich man. The de- mands made on him by Harry and Maybelle were to him a tremendous item. It staggered him. He didn't have it in ready cash. Harry and the woman held their threat over him to give him three days time to raise the difference. He had already parted with several thousands to slave off the greater disaster.
 Harry was to come to the Umley office at stipulated time for the re- mainder.
 Lenore noted the furtive. hunted look in her fathers face for several days. She adored him. and she watched him eagerly and intensely, al- ways. She could read him. And she sensed trouble, worry and mischief.

And she had not blamed him too bitterly, for he had been wid- owed for more than dozen years While she did not fancy him in the role of Lothario or even a Romeo, she surely could not enjoy his playing the part of boob to couple of clumsy thieves aiming at his vulnerable purse through his softened heart and his hardened arteries, with the archaic ar. rows of the oldest and easiest come-on.
 She talked it out with him. Ter rorized, he spurned any suggestion of resistance. But she said:

And when he called for certain gilt edged bonds which were . nest-egg to be preserved and clipped and treas ured. she raised her eyebrows. But said nothing-for she was not bossy nor meddlesome. But when she found him nervously lingering her jewels the family heirlooms and ancestral gifts which were hers by right of in. heritance from her mother. she wanted to know.

She only reiterated that he must have faith in her. leave the whole thing in her hands-leavs town and not return until she telegraphed him. It took almost the night for her to per suade him. And when he left it was with heavy heart, doubting, fear some.
 Lenore did not go to sleep She got out her dashiest frock, painted her cheeks. her lips and her eyebrows with more than usual care and more than usual makeup, and went forth.
 Her father had told her enough of the movements of Maybelle and Harry to help locate them. She found Harry shortly after noon, having made an in. tricate if discreet hunt of 1t.

Lottis was an artist, and had . studio-a duplex. cosy nest whers she lived and vhers she and Lenore had many pleasant hours to- esther. Lenors aSksd her for the loan of tho place that evening, and gave her tho key to her own home in return, with . request that Lottis await her there. Lottis whistled-what was this rendezvous that her friend vas fram- ing? But this time Lenore firmly de clined details. She repeated her wish. Lottie, with shrug, told her she was welcome, of course, but it was hysteri- ous-very. Lenore admitted that; but she added this trick would have to rs- main that way.
 Promptly at the appointed time, Handsome Harry arrived. He rang the bell. Lenore buzzed the button from the balcony. Harry entered, snnirk on his face, hat in hand. But the sx- pression hed when he saw at the head of the short flight, his latest victim and in her hand an ugly, snub-nossd, blued-steel revolver. His mouth opened with astonishment and shock.
