q score of business men and their
wives on charges Of illegal posses

party Sunday at the Benjamin
Franklin Hotel here caused a SEN

circles today.
The raid, conducted by 80 police

while a party being held in two
suites on the fourth floor was
at the height of its gayety. Two
detectives who registered under
fictitious names had tipped off
the raiders.
Eleven of the prisoners were

patrol wagons and rushed to the
Central Police Station.
About 10 quarts of whisky and
gin, a number of empty bottles,
cracked ice and ginger ale were
seized, police said.
The hotel management in a
formal statement charged the
police conducted the raid without
warrants and that the detectives
violated the Pennsylvania State
hotel code by registering under
fictitious names and failing to pro-
test to the hotel management.
The raid, it was learned today.
was made at the specific request
of L. B. Schofield, Director of
