Chief of Po lice Wetzel said ta-day. The charges against the two are brought by the police in an effort to break up the wave </f crime that has been nourishing among the low est elements of the city. The police records for a year have been fea tured by petty crimes, such as lights, stabbings and disorderly prac tices of all kinds, which have taken place in a comparatively few no torious houses leased by these two proprietors to negroes, Italians and Mexicans. At times there have been more families living in one house than there are rooms in the house, police say.- When Perry Marrinay, a negro, slashed another negro's throat Wed nesday night, the conditions in the house at 510 Strawberry street were brought out in police court. The negro said that a family occupies each of the eleven rooms at. the house. Following the hearing the police determined to break up such resorts and prosecute the owners who rented them. Dora Frank is said by police -to own the house at 510 Strawberry. In a raid by Detectives Speese and Wills, Sergeant Owen and Patrolman McCann, twenty-one negroes were taken from the place last night. This house is said by the police to be headquarters of the narcotic dis pensers who at times make this city their stopping place. It has been the scene of numerous crimes tried in police court. The negroes will be given hearings on disorderly prac tice charges. The house at Xo. 14 Cowden street has become famous during the past months because of the nu merous arrests made , there. Last night in a second raid by the same officers twenty-two negroes were taken out of the house after mid night. The total of forty-three ne groes were taken to jail over night. It was the biggwtf haul in many months. • There are still other houses in the city that will likely attract the at tention of the police in the immedi ate future.

Plans for accomplishing the addi tional saving are being worked out carefully and the only bar lo success feared by officials is the senseless hoarding which may be practiced by unthinking and selfish people. The seriousness of the wheat situ ation was shown to-day by a Depart ment or Agriculture report on the supply in country elevators and mills which was supplemented by a frank admission at the Food Administra tion that existing flour stocks are only thirty per cent of the normal quantity needed until July 1. Food Administration officials thought the department's estimate of 180,000,000 bushels of wheat in elevators and on farms March 1 was optimistic and said their best, information was that 125,000.000 bushels was the greatest amount that could be ex pected. The allies have been promised 90,- 000.000 bushels of grain between January 1 and. July 1. The only alternative to failure to carrv out this program in the opinion of" Food Administration officials is sacrifice by individuals. Halifax Methodist Church Asks Minister's Return Halifax.
