A—10 STATE PROBING AT KAT AFFARS County Authorities Expected Soon to Take Hand in Boulevard House Case. @pecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, February 6.—Reuben | D. Rogers, State's attorney for Howard County, announced that a State investi- gation was under way into the affirs of the Kit Kat Inn, on the Washington Boulevard, and that county authorities woilld probably take action in the case within the next few days. Meanwhile five women and six men, arrgsted last week when the establish- meft was raided by agents of the De- patdment of Justice and deputy United Stafes marshals, are expected to be ar- raigned here tomorrow before United States Commissioner J. Prank Supplee on charges of conspiracy and violation of the Mann act. Should the eleven persons now un- der arrest be released by the Govern- ment before the county’s contemplated action has been completed, Mr. Rogers said, they will probably be rearrested by county officers on other charges. On the other hand, if the Federal prisoners should be convicted and sen- tenced, detainers will most likely be piaced against them, Mr. Rogers said, in order that State charges against them may be pressed later on.
