TEX GUINAN’S NIGHT CLUB IS TARGETOF RAID Dry Agents Take Fixtures; ‘We’ll Sit on Floor/ Cries ‘Queen/ liy United Preag CHICAGO, Dec. 31.—Prohibition agents raided Texas Guinan’s Planet Mars night club today, ordered one hundred patrons to leave and proceeded to strip the loop “bright spot” of its furnishings after seizing alleged liquor. The pre-New Year’s eve raid found gaiety at its height with Tex, veteran of similar raids on her New York night clubs, directing the merry-making. “Hello, suckers,” the night club queerr greeted agents as they entered the doors. Miss Guinan had just finished conferring with her attorney Fred Kaplan who arrived last night from New York with the news that all the legal technicalities connected with raids on her New York establishments had been cleared up. Spoils New Year’s Eve The raiders entered with a warrant alleging liquor had been purchased at the Planet Mars at about 5 a. m. Wednesday. Agents garbed in Tuxedos had made the purchase, the prohibition department revealed. “This io terrible,” Miss Guinan said when told by the raiders they were going to clear the place of its furnishings in accordance with a recent New York court decision. “Ive got SIO,OOO worth of reservations for New Year’s eve,” she said. Miss Guinan was informed there was nothing to prevent her reoutfitting the place for the New Year’s celebration. “Well,” the veteran entertainer said, “we’ll make whoopee here tonight if we all have to sit on the floor.” Texas Gets Sleepy Patrons were allowed to leave unmolested. The raiders entered just as Miss Guinan’s “little girls” started one of their periodic floor shows. Harry Voiler, maneger, and named by the agents as part owner of the Planet Mars, was arrested, as were several employes. They were taken to the county jail. Miss Guinan was ordered to appear before the United States commissioner at 10 this morning. “I can’t appear then,” the entertainer said, “I’ll be fast asleep.” She was told, however, that she must appear. True to her promise, Tex was asleep when the time came for her to appear in court. A federal building attache telephoned her apartment and was told curtly by a maid: “Miss Guinan is asleep and will be until 2 p. m.” Prohibition agent C. H. Johnson, who was in charge of trucking away four loads of draperies, chairs, ta-

OBSTACLES TO DISARMAMENT VIEWEDJATAL Depression, Debt Parley and Manchurian Conflict Portend Failure. BY HENRY WOOD United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Dec. 31.—The League of Nations today faced a call for a world disarmament conference Feb. 2 even though it was apparent that the time was the most inopportune in history for such a meeting. The only possible exception to world-wide governmental opinion against the conference was that of the United States. But no government was ready to accept the responsiblity of asking an adjournment. The recent British round robin to the interested governments asking the advisability of continuing with the selected date failed to 1 elicit a single request for adjournment. The last chance appeared to rest in the possibility that Ambassador Charles G. Dawes might explain the inupportunity of the situation to President Hoover. League of Nations leaders figured that three predominating questions relegated disarmament to fourth place, world-wide depression, the coming reparations and debts conference, and the Manchurian situation. In the event that the conference is called as scheduled with the above three situations unsettled, it
