HURLEY, Wis., Dec. 29. Federal prohibition agents from Chicago visited almost two score saloons, arrested approximately 70 persons and confiscated two loads of liquors in a raid that was begun before noon Tuesday and continued for several hours. The prisoners and evidence were taken to Ironwood and thence to Ashland,' Wis., where the men will be arraigned before a United States commissioner probably tomorrow on charges of having violated the federal prohibition law. The raid was undertaken at the direction of Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, of Chicago, and was planned by Frank B. Richardson, newly appointed Prohibition Enforcement Agent for this district The raiding party of 50 or

more was in charge of Joseph Cal

lahan. There was more of the picturesque than of the sensational in the "invasion," although the motion picture ma

chines clicked merrily every time a

federal agent drew a revolver or a keg of liquor was rolled into the street Throng Follows Raiders. A number of newspaper men accompanied the invaders. The crowd that followed the agents down Silver street grew in a few minutes to one of more than 200 persons, but there was no demonstration and no audible hints of violent opposition to the raid. In fact, the crowd seemed to be disposed to make it the occasion for a holiday. Not a shot was fired. From the viewpoint of a "surprise party" the affair was a complete success, federal agents agreed.

While it was declared that the sa-'

loons had been "tipped off" last night, apparently no great quantity of liquor had been concealed, according to Hurleyites, who watched the mash march down Silver street. Street cars were used to transport the agents, their prisoners and the seized liquor from Hurley to Ironwood. A sleigh drawn by two horses followed

the agents in their clean-up and hauled ,

tne liquor to the street cars. In Ironwood a dray met the street cars and took the liquor to special cars. Moonshine whisky, according to observers who claimed to know, constituted the principal "wet" haul, al- j though there was a considerable ; quantity of the kind that bore labels that formerly were familiar sights in every saloon window. i "Real Stuff" Scarce. ' ! But the "real stuff" was declared to ; be in the minority. j The raid followed a wild night at j Hurley, during which liquor was sold i at bargain rates, ranging from 35 cents for moonshine to 75 cents for wellknown brands. Among the men arrested were lum-; berjacks too paralyzed from liquor to ; realize what was taking place. Hur-I ley is a lumbering town of 3,500 population. i Police officials here said they had received no advance information concerning the raid. j This camp town has been the cen-! ter of anti-prohibition feeling for '

months. Most of the lumberjacks are foreigners. The smouldering resentment toward prohibition broke into flame in a battle here October 9, when prohibition operatives encountered bootleggers who lost contraband whisky estimated to be worth $85,000. One man was killed when in the fight, and another was wounded seriously. Open Violations. Since that time, it is said, prohibition agents have avoided Hurley, waiting until complete preparations could be made to make a raid in force. The whole district in this part of the north woods has been resardfcd by dry officials as being a law-defying community. Reports that dance halls, sa

loons, gambling rooms, and "bootleg joints" flourished openly, each one selling any kind of liquor obtainable.

from moonshine to Italian wine, have ,

been numerous. - j Opposition to any encroachment! from outside took definite form, how- j ever, after the fight in October, Boot-; leggers were said to have organized' and issued a threat that he first pro-; hibitym agent to show himself in Hm i ley would be shot. They vowed, it j was said, to keep Hurley "a man's town for real men." j Home brewing has become a prominent industry, according to residents of the town. Kentuckians, driven from the hills of their own state by revenue agents, are. said to have migrated here.

Susie Black Bear Demonstrates Rights (By Associates Press) SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Dec. 29. In Brackenridge Park which contains the city zoo of San Antonio, "Susie", a black bear has been demonstrating "woman's rights." A few evenings ago visitors were vatching the feeding of the four black bears at the zoo, "Susie" quietly left her food, and keeping an eye on the others, went to the den, raked all the straw just spread for all into her own corner, laid down on it and went to sleep. The other bears accepted the situation, but that night a cold breeze came from the north and "Susie" proved herself to have been a weather prophet as well as a believer in "woman's rights" among the bear tribes. But the "boys" at the den are still scratching their heads over it.
