Girls of school age, a mayor, i chief and men and women operators of scores of speakessies were among the 200 persons arrested last night and early today as federal prohibition agents mi up what they termed at Calumet district liquor and vice ing. By one o'clock this morning 165 Persons had been arrested in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, the two cities against which the agents con- centrated their drive. As rapidly as the prisoners could be taken to Crown Point for arraignment before a United States commissioner, the 250 raiders returned to the roundup which they said would not be com- pleted until approximately 300 arrests had been made. Mayor Raleigh P. Hale of East Chi- cago and his chief of police, James E. Regan, were among the first arrested. Nick Sudovich, catalogued as a lie tenant of Scarface Al Capone and one of the heads of liquor traffic in the Calumet district, also was seized. Fed authorities believe Capone. now in a Philadelphia jail, is the tual head of the alleged liquor and vice ring. The raids began at six o'clock last night following a @@pret conference of federal forces. So swiftly did the agents strike that most of those ar- rested were taken in the cabarets, speakeasies and saloons where they worked. Mayor Hale and Chief Regan were charged with conspiracy and a simi- lar charge was made against Sudo- vich, who was found in the cabaret he operates. In many places the agents found girls acting as barmaids, and they were sent with the others to Crown Point for arraignment. There was no parallel for the raids since 1923 when federal men sur- prised liquor traffickers in Gary, sending 51 men and women to prison. Mayor Hale was elected nearly four years ago and took Regan from the Chicago police force to head his law enforcement department. The two imen were released early today on {bonds of $25.000 cach. At the time of their release it was stated that more than 100 warrants remained to be served. Details of charges responsible for warrants were lacking. It was un- derstood, however, that Mann act violations and charges of narcotics sales and of election frauds were in- volved. SNOOK FOUND GUILTY ‘Columbus, 0., Aug. 14.—(P)— Dr. James H.
