SOCIETY HIGH FLYERS
CAUGHT IN DRY RAID
SEATTLE, Jan. 15.—Surround
ing the Boulevard inn, at 2000
Eighteenth avenue north, at an
early hour yesterday morning a do
zen police officers under Sergeant
George Comstock, of the dry squad
conducted a raid that resulted in
the arrest of the proprietor, A. J.
Russell, 42 years old, and the tak
ing of the names of a dozen per
sona of business and social promi
nence in Seattle, seven of whom
were army and navy officers, on
whose table liquor was found.
The information that the inn
was to be raided last night pre
ceded the arrival of the squad of
police. An automobile party that
arrived at the inn shortly after
Sergeant Comstock and his officers,
but before they had entered the
place or made their presence
known, was refused admission. One
of the members of the party when
questioned as to why he was not
allowed to enter said that the at
tendant at the door had told him
the dry squad was on it3 way to
raid the place.
When the police entered there
were between twenty and thirty per
sons seated at the tables about the
large dining room. The officers
were recognized and, according to
them, there was a general clanking
of bottles that were being thrown
on the floor for the purpose of de
stroying evidence. Several tables
at which were seated, the police
said,_ members of the military po
lice from Camp Lewis among
other persona were reached before
any attempt was made to remove
tho liquor. From one of these three
glasses containing highballs and
from another a pint bottle of liquor
were seized. Nobody claimed own
ership.
A search of the place failed to
disclose a cache of intoxicants.
Among the names of patrons of
the place, whose names were taken
by the police, were four socially
prominent in Seattle, two navy of
ficers and a captain and four lieu
tenants from Camp Lewis. Several
of thede, according to members of
the raiding squad, were hilariously
intoxicated.
Russell wa3 arrested on a charge
of violating that section of the dry
law that prohibits liquor in a
place of business.
Sergeant Comstock is making
every effort to obtain the identity
of the person who is alleged to
have “tipped off” the raid to the at
tendants. The utmost secrecy was
exercised at police headquarters
to prevent the destination of the
big squad of officers from being
known. Sergeant Comstock says
that so far as he knows only one
other man knew that the raid was
going to be made. The extra po
licemen called to the station to ac
company the regular dry squad had
no inkling of tlieir destination un
til they arrived at the inn.

BERLIN, Jan. 15.— (via Amster

time, there are indications that the
publication -of the Kaiser-Tzar cor
respondence has made a great im
pression there, and that the Govern

own version of the case.
In the first place, the Radical
and Socialist press has lost no time
in making all the capital possible
out of the Kaiser’s letter to the
Tzar, urging him to refer the ques
tion of concluding peace with Japan
to the Duma. Obviously, Radical
and Socialist writers exclaim, the
Kaiser is the convinced advocate of
the parliamentary system, and the
only wonder is that the procedure
so strongly recommended for Rus
sia more than 10 years ago still
awaits its introduction into Ger
many.
But this is not all. There are
some papers that have lent them
selves to the support of the official
view put forward in the Nord
deutclie Allgemeine Zeitung that
the Kaiser’s demarche represented
an attempt, not to “enclrle" Great
Britain, but to preserve the peace
of the world. Papers so wide apart
as the Conservative Reichsbote and
the radical Frankfurter Zeitung
are among such as these, but on
the other hand an outburst of dis

THIS LETTER MADE US BUY
Mr. A. Polet, Nome, Alaska.
Dear Sir:—Wc have studied the. Commercial business of Alas
ka as thorouglitly as possible from this distance, to see what
products It would bo avisablc to pack of which wo have an
abundance, and yet hard to get io you in its natural state.
We are about the largest handlers of Poultry, Eggs a;.d But
tons west of the Rockies, and there is no roason in our mind,
why wo should not get in touch with you direct.
Mooting with a great deal of difficulty i:i securing refrlgatcr
space for dressed poultry, we hit on the novel idea cf Canning
the fresh killed chickens.
Wc gather the live chickens 'at our Poultry and Egg buying
stations at Petaluma, and after being milk fed they are kil
led and dressed.
The chickens is then cut in four parts and put in cans, and
cooked under a process which retains its fine fresh flavor. We
pack a complete half chicken in the 1 1-2 lbs. cans, and a ocm
pleto whole chicken in the 3 lbs. cans, bone and all.
We aro also putting out a superior Chicken Soup with Rice,
which in our estimation, is above reproach.
Our prices are as follows:
CHICKEN. No. 1 1-2 lbs. cans, per dozen $8.25, per can 75c.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE. Per doz. $1.50, per can 15c.
A. Polet
satisfaction with the foreign policy
of modern Germany has been very
general. The moral drawn differs,
it is true—the Conservatives call
for a return to the traditions of the
Bismarkckian era, while the Left
considers fresh proof has been
adduced of the necessity for the in-'
traduction of parliamentary Gov
ernment; but the premise is the
same in each case, namely, con
demnation of pc8t-Bi3marckian di-,
plomacy.
