JULES hloLlST ULOCh. n pOuCc SOOOA
Captain Forby led several uni
formed men. simultaneously, Off
GERS entered the Paramount Cafe
on the first floor, where another
large group of men were found
around a table gambling, accord
ing to testimony offered in court
Monday morning.
Entire Building Surrounded By
Police
The Kistler Building was practi-
cally surrounded by the large
group of officers. Every door and
window in the building had a
watchful policeman as its guardian.
Five patrol loads were taken from
the two places. Rudolph Young,
president of the Wolverine club,
arrested in the club, was charged
with being the keeper of the place.
Other officers arrested with him
were William Taylor, secretary,
and Elmer Lewis, treasurer. Others
found in the club were julius Cox,
Elsa Fisher, Earl Stewart, John
Jones, Willis Reed, George Riley,
Henry Dixon, Floyd Bannarn, Will
liam Butler, John Williamson, Wal
| ter Cash, Edwin Brown, Jack
Meredith, Alfred Smith, Frank
Gibson, Dewey Bludsoe, John Sum-
Ter, William Poster, James ]. Bag
by, William Gray, James Lindley,
Edward Ledbetter, Leon Glover,
and Thos. Owens.
In a trial which lasted for four
hours in the municipal court, pre-
sided over by Judge Luther Young
dahl, Young, the club president,
charged with being keeper, plead
ing not guilty, was defended by l..
o. Smith, woman attorney, with
Leo P. McHale, city attorney, rep
resenting the state. Testifying in
the case for the defense, which at
tempted to show that the club was
a chartered organization which
tolerated no gambling for money,
was Paul Turner, Minneapolis
character, who told the court, un-
der McHale's cross-examination,
that he made his living giving lee
lures and singing baritone. After
a long session which lasted until
4:30 P. M, Judge Youngdahl
found Young guilty and assessed
him a $50 fine, Those found in the
place, charged with being inmates,
were automatically found guilty,
and assessed fines ranging from SIS
to $50.
Paramount Proprietor Found
Guilty
Lou Gittelson (white), proprie-
tor of the Paramount Cafe, was
given a $25 fine, and others found
in his place were fined S. to $25.
All pleaded not guilty. Two women
arrested did not appear, FORGETTING
bail. Those arrested in the Para
mount were Frank Hopkins, Hor-
ace Davis, w. ("Wilfie Hoppe")
Powell, L. d. Newsome, Jerry Dav-
is, Robert Pierre, Emmett Wether-
all, Paul Graves, Will Collins,
Reuben Warren, Percy Medley,
Lorenza Cason, Clifford Hawkins,
Matthew Ewing and Eddie Hou-
ston.
The raids resulted in the closing
of both places. They were both
dark and deserted Monday night
after the trial. introduced in the
testimony were stories from To-
cal newspaper which raped both
places as gambling Joints,

STYLE SHOW SUCCESS

A capacity crowd attended the
Hollywood Revue and Style Show
given by st. James A. M. E.
Church, st. Paul auxiliaries, last
Tuesday evening. The affair held
in the church was most delightful.
Male members of the church i'm
personated famous female movie
stars much to the amusement Of
the audience.
A style parade of latest Spring
creations for Milady was delight
full to the eye.

In December, the Wolverines,
who have been in existence as an
organization for several years,
sought a permanent injunction in
district court to prevent Minneap-
oils police from interfering with
the operation of the club.

April eighth marked the dead
line for entries in the Phyllis
Wheatley Popularity Contest which
is being held in conjunction with
the 1885 Mardi Gras on April 29th
at the Phyllis Wheatley House.
Popularity Seekers
Those girls who are definitely
in the race for top honors and
who are expected to make a real
fight for the much coveted honor
of being crowned queen of the 1896
Mardi Gras are: Vesta Gaines,
Frederick Lewis, Barbara NAL
lory, Atha Moore, and Anne Sey-
mour.
Frederick Lewis, who was a
contestant in the 1880 Twin City
Popularity Contest, is running as
an independent candidate for the
time being.
Anne Seymour, who, by the way,
won second prize in the contest of
1884 and beautiful overnight bag,
will in all probability have the con-
centrated support of the Modern
cites behind her. This will no
doubt give her a slight edge and
will tend to increase the competi-
ton. We no doubt are anxious to
see the reaction from the st. Paul
faction.
Special Feature
Ray Dysart has, since the Mardi
Gras of 1884, annexed to his or
chestra Harold Walker, sax player,
and Henry Mccoy, trumpet player.
Mccoy, who has played in the or
chestras of Cab Galloway, Jimmy
Luncford, and Claude Hopkins, will
give a feature number. Harold
Walker, the cocoanut vender on a
sax, has played with some widely
known Kansas City orchestras.
Among them are George Lees and
Benny Moten's. The "Cocoanut
Vender" will also have an oppor-
tunity to show his wares.
Hot Floor Show
Those who attended the Mardi
Gras last year viii recall the dane
ing of Kelly Stone, the boy with
the rhythmatical feet. Well, Kelly
has just returned from New York's
famous Cotton Club to appear in
the floor show this year. Just an
other reason why you can't afford
to miss being at the 1885 Mardi
Gras.
A galaxy of local entertainers
will go to make this floor show an
extravaganza of talent. Among
them are Billie Griffin and Evelyn
Mill, who will give an adagio num-
Der; Paul Oden and partner, who
will interpret the new ballroom
dance numbers; June Hawkins,
Hilda Moses, and Josephine Bal
enger featuring some beautiful
voices; Selah Fulson, Katie Steele
and frankie Wyche dancing with
Kelly Stone.

Wisconsin State
Constitution Lost;
Copy Now Serves

MADISON, Wis.-Did a souve-
mir hunter carry away this States
original Constitution? In these
days, when constitutions are in
creasingly important. Wisconsin
misses its document more and
more, but a lengthy search here
and in museums throughout the
State has failed to discover it.
If one asks to see the Wisconsin
Constitution here at the State
House, a clerk will take a long tin
box from a drawer and bring out
a hand-written paper. But it is
merely a copy of the Constitution
and has no signatures.

BLAST MAKES
RAIN OF ROCK

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Nov. IL
People half a mile away were
dodging rocks yesterday when q
blast was put off at Rock Cut
four miles from this city. -Four
tons of dynamite were used in an
85-foot tunnel drilled for the blast
which shot outwards and brought
down only about one-fourth Of the
amount Of rock calculated.
Telephone and telegraph wires
were torn down and rock strewn
along the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks. The homes Of Mrs. Dor
othy Beall, John often and
Theodore Weimer were damaged
Porches were splintered and win
dows broken.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lester McGill sat
In their automobile as a rock tore
through the top. Another rock
passed through the sides Of the
truck Of Roy c. Cites.
Physicians attended terrified
women.

BONUS IN SO,
PRED|CTEDBY
TALMADGE

BREWTON. Ala, Nov. IL QN.
s.)-Invading Alabama for an
A-.nistice Day address, Gov. Eu-
gene Talmadge, Of Georgia,
yesterday vigorously assailed ex-
orbitant taxation, the AAA CAgri-
cultural Adjustment AdminiStra-
tion), the Bankhead cotton con-
troll act, and the Roosevelt admin
istration, and predicted the bonus
will be paid at the next session
Of Congress because 1885 is an
election year"
After paying high tribute to the
heroism Of veterans OF the World
War, Governor Talmadge said:
some things have been too
good for them. They were not the
proper channel through which to
distribute wealth, although it was
owing to them.
But remember this, the bonus
will be paid the first Of the session
Of Congress in 1885.
why do I say this? Because
1885 is an election year. The all
important question now is from
what source it viii be paid. .
Here's the answer: Have 1t paid
from the four billion eight hum
dred million dollar recovery appro'
priation. When you do this, you
pay up a debt, and then have just
that much less for the Washing
ton crowd of Brain Trusters to buy
America"

BOULDER DAM
GETS DEEPER

Boulder Dam reservoir is filling
rapidly" M. ], Dowd, irrigation dis
trict general superintendent re-
ported this morning. This fact"
he stated, will insure the valley a
sufficiency of water for its needs
with no fear of a shortage such as
was experienced last year."
Dowd also reported that the to-
tai silt content of the water is low
er than at this time last year there
being but one per cent by volume
of the finer silt in the water in
comparison with two or three per
cent in former years at this Sea-
son. Percentage of the heavier silt
taken up from the river bottom be-
low the dam is the same as in
other years and this is causing diff
ficulties in some of the districts
canals This trouble will be obvi-
ated when the desilting plant is
constructed at the All-American
canal intake.
Information from district head
quarters in Imperial shows that
the elevation of water behind the
dam is now 1878 feet with 100000
acre feet stored in the reservoir.
