Lamb of the water board informed the judiciary committee he feels it is a fair course for the city to insti- | tute condemnation proceedings. Attorney General B. W. Alling had been on the witness stand and he said that New Britain has at all Texas Guinan’s 300 Club With About 125 Patrons First Place Raided—Hostess Sings Prisoner’s Song As Padlock Squad Enters—Round Up of Other Resorts | Ordered. New York, Feb. 17 (UP)—Texas Guinan, whose “give the little girl a hand, boys” is a tradition among the Broadway night clubs, spent sev- eral hours in jail today after federal prohibition agents raided the “300 Club,” arrested Texas and four other employes and seized a small quan- tity of liquor. Release of the entertainer was ef- fected on bail of $1,000 after her at- torney, M. Michael Edelstein, ap- peared before Judge William Bondy in padlock term of federal court and argued that his client was not sub- | ject to an injunction restraining the sale of liquor at the club. Edelstein said Miss Guinan was| merely an employe of the corpora- tion owning the *“300 Club” and had not been served personally with the | injunction. It is understood she will be arraigned later in the week, charged with contempt of court. Miss Guinan's brief sojourn in jail was attributed ral officers said, to J. Walter Longscope, a youth said to be wealthy Philadelphia family. The story is that Lonscope, re- cently fleeced of $7,000 in one night club acquired a grudge against the! bright light places along the Rialto and became a prohibition agent. He was one of the officers who took part in the raid on the club where Texas was entertaining some 12 guests, including Lenore Ulric Beatrice Lillie. Eighteen *‘under cover"” agents, in- cluding several women, all dressed in evening clothes, made the raid and the festivities ended in the court. The wealthy young man, bound for revenge, was one of the guests at the club. He was with a woman com- panion. At the appointed hour for the raid he asked Te Prisoner’s Song,” and although she protested that it was old and stale she complied. Then the young man and his wom- an fricnd slipped down stairs, opened the son of a| and | police ! s to sing “The | | cuted. | the bolted door after some difficulty with the doorman, and the agents | jumped from an automobile and ran | up the stairs. | Sings “Prisoner’s Song.” Texas, with an ermine cloak thrown over her and her headdress still on, was still singing “The Pris- oner's Song” when she arrived at the station. There was so much com- motion that the detectives and po- licemen who sleep at the station house were awakened. Miss Guinan evidently thought it was all a lark. She had plenty of cash and legal talent to get her out. Orders General Cleanup. Acting Mayor McKee seems bent on making the most of the power that has temporarily been placed | into his hands. He has ordered a| general cleanup of night clubs, danc halls and other places of amusement. Three hundred men and two wom en were herded into the Richmond Hill station carly today.
