few days' delay being nocessnry to

Prohibition Agents Assert Po
lice Were on Guard When 27
Barrels. Disappeared
TWO STORIES ARE OFFERED
Twenty-seven barrels of alcohol,
valued at .$.10,000, seized in a raid in
West Philadelphia last Monday, have
disopneared. City police and federal
prohibition agents. blame each other for
the .loss. Kach declares that the other
was responsible for guarding the al
cohol. An official investigation was begun
this afternoon bv Superintendent of Po
lice Mills, while John W. Crowley,
assistant prohibition officer, likewise is
conducting n probe.
Here ore the two views of the mys
tery alcohol :
Prohibition ngents assert that n raid
was made on Monday at the home of
Itobert Shall, HS28 Ludlow street. The
nlcohol was seized, the barrels cemented
together and placed under guard of
pntrolmen of the Fifty-fifth nnd Pine
streets station. Yesterday, sny the
agents, a truck was sent to enrrv the
liquor to the federal building. When
they entered the cellar it wus found that
the alcohol had been stolen. They fur
ther claim that two patrolmen were
on guard.
This afternoon a preliminary report,
quite contrary to the above statements,
was handed to Superintendent Mills by
I.Ieutenunt Montgomery, of the Fifty
fifth nnd Pine streets station. This re
port shows that a raid was made in the
Shall home on Monday and that Acting
Detectives Summers, Kenney nnd Col
llesh were dctnilcd to help the prohibi
tion agents serve the search warrant.
The report adds that Prohibition
Agents Kncelcr nnd Slsson were in
charge and that, on Mondny afternoon,
these men told tho detectives that the
government hnd charge of the nlcohol
and that It would not be necessary for
the police to maintain a guurd. Lieu
tenant Montgomery declared that he
knows nothing. more of tho affair, ex
cept that he received a report from the
prohibition forces yesterday to the ef-
tect tnat tuc liquor had been stolen.
Anyway, an investigation is under
way.

llergdoll sent no money; Mr. Walnut

Mrs. Warburton nsked .the Mayor
'what arrangement could be made for
the assessment of the women as a neces
sary preliminary to registration in the
event that the suffrage amendment is
fully ratified.
"In the absence of direct informa
tion from the nttorney genernl," replied
the Mayor, "I question that we can get
very far today. I would not like to
tuke the responsibility of asking Coun
cil for an appropriation on indefinite
information.
"My personal opinion is that we will
hove to set up new maehlneryyto nc
commodatc the women, and therefore
then" will be n duplication of election
machinery. We may hnve to make dif
ferent arrangements, ns, for example, in
the matter of polling booths.
"If the women use the snmi hnntl. u
the men, the problem will be simplified
"very materially."
Crowds at Polling Places
Mrs. Nichols asked the Mayor if the
polling pluces were taxed to their ca
pacity. Tho Mayor replied that during the

men una ueen ouugeu 10 wait outside
the polling places, and in some in
btimces the lines were so long that some
could not vote wunin tne prescribed
hours.
Mrs. Nichols suggested such n nnn.
dltlon should be rectified in any event.
The Mayor then discussed the ques
tion 01 rourii'My uv 1110 poiung booths,
"The women may have to take their
place In the line," Mr. Moore stntcd
"but with the men us polite as I think
they will be, women will be Invited, to
go to the head of the line. I notice,
however, that the women have to stand
In line nt banks and theatre windows."
Wonlen Should Meet Conditions
Several of the women present pointed
out that the women should bo pro
pared to face equal conditions. Mrs.

London, July 28. Uneasiness ovrr
the Russian situation is expressed Ijy
newspapers here as a result of the da- (
cision of Premiers Lloyd George and
,MHIcrand at Boulogne yesterday.
The premiers agreed to stand by their
original plan for a peace conference
with Soviet representatives, but decided
that the proposed conference in London
should not take place unless Russian
factions and border states were repre
sented. By the anti-Bolshevik papers the de
cision is roundly denounced, one of them
saying it "will bring nearer that diplo
matic recognition of the Soviet Govern
ment which we especially detest and
dread."
Premier Lloyd George, wjiom thess
papers regard as anxious to establish
relations with the Soviet, is sharply
criticized, ns one of them puts it, "for"
surrendering to tho Bolshevik! and
creating by his policy a very serious sit- .
uation."
Opposes Closed Doors '
The London Times declares the mat
ter is "too grave for irrevocable de
cision behind closed doors," and main
tains that lit must be submitted to the -parliaments
of the Allies. The paper
sympathizes with the French view that
America must have a voice in the ques
tion, implying its belief that America
wouid repudiate an agreement based on
Bolshevik conditions.
The Dnily Telegraph bitterly laments
the necessity to have dealings with the
Bolshevik! and admits : "If we do not
fight Russia which is the lost thing
anybody desires we must come to a
definite understanding with her."
The Chronicle describes the-Boulogne
decision as a "judicious middle for- t
mula."
Franco's consent to co-operate in, the
suggested conference is regarded with
special satisfaction In quarters desiring r
a speedy settlement of the European
turmoil.
Mr. Lloyd George accepted in the
main M. Millerand's views and it was
decided Grent Britain should reply to
the Soviet demands for on international
conference that It could not take place
unless the Bolshevists reversed their
present attitude and agreed to discuss
thereat peace with Poland and that all
qualified representatives of Russia and
the border states should attend.
Should Moscow accept these condi-
I tions. then M. Millerand will be con
sentativs left for England on a war
ship. Premier Millerand nnd the French
party returned to Pnris last night.
Warsaw. July 27. The Polish re
treat continues along the entire front,
according to latest news on the fight
ing operations received here.
Reports from Bolshevik sources indi
cate that the Bolshevik! intend to oc
cupy Suwalki, fifty miles northwest of
Grodno, and Itlaljstol;, forty-three
miles' southwest of Grodno, before the
beginning of the armistice negotiations.
The Bolshevlki now are within ten miles
of Bialystok.
' Paris, July 28. (By A. P.) The
Puris press is gratified over the results
of the Boulogne conference. MoNt of
the newspapers unite in considering the
outcome a "feather in M. Millerand's
cap," pointing out that he persuaded
Premier Lloyd George to adopt the
I'renc hviews both on the Russlun nnd
coal questions.
