SHERIFF MAKES MIDNIGHT RAID Five Disorderly Houses Invadec and Women and Men Arrested. POLICE HAD BEEN INACTIVE Sequel to Snyder Divorce Case Are Fined the Limit. -All In a raid by the forces of Sheriff Heider last Saturday night five houses of prostitution were "pulled" and 14 women and six men were brought be fore Justices J. F. Witter and D. R. Mc- Farlane and fined. Part paid and a number are now in jail with the pros pect of serving out their fines in their entirety. The raid was the outcome of the showing made in the circuit court in the Snyder divorce suit and the scath ing arraignment of the city's moral atmosphere by Judge Gest in that con nection, and certain other information that had been brought out recently. The police, whom it is but reasonable to suppose were in full knowledge of the facts having shown no disposition to act, information was filed before Jus tices Witter and McFarlane and the warrants were given to the sheriff to serve. Two weeks ago a house kept by Xellie Hill on Twenty-first street be tween Second and Third avenues, was raided by the sheriff and two men and t wo women were taken and fined. The facts were suppressed at the time so that there might be no running to cov er in anticipation of a more general prosecution. Va to Have a Permit." Xellie Hill had just come to thi city from Davenport and she stated that she intended bringing a number of inmates from Davenport to her place he police. Asked when she expected 0 have one she said in two or three lays. This evidence of collusion be ween the police and the resort keep ers was largely instrumental in spur ring the county authorities on to make 1 general roundup. Saturday night's raid began at 10 j'clock. Sheriff Heider divided his "orce up info squads and the places f Lou Uishop on Seventeenth street; tuth Fairchild. Sixteenth street, be ween First and Second avenues; Dot Ferns. Twenty-first street between Second and Third avenues; "Swede Mandy" Johnson. Second avenue bs? .ween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, ind Jack McPartland. on Third avenue pposite the Industrial Home building, .vere quickly gone through. The pris mers were at once arraigned in the )fices of the justices and all pleaded ;uilty with the exception of McPart and. who gave surety for appearance 'his afternoon announcing a determina tion to fight the charge of being a keeper. Klneil the l.lmH. The women charged with being keep ers were lined $2f each and the fol :owing as inmates were fined $."0 ipiece: Violet Smith. Pauline Stew irt, Clara Cole. May Jones. Grace Al len, Bessie White. Nellie Warner, Blanche Wilson. lien ha Wr'ght and Alice Reed. The men. who were fined $10 each, registered as Edward I.. Perry. James Smith. Harry Kennedy. Frank Benjamin and Axel Anderson. The men and the. women charged with being keepers either paid cash or arranged to do so and were released. The others were taken to jail, where yesterday Pauline Stewart and Blanche Wilson paid up. Some comment has been caused by the fact that there were so few mn found in the resorts. Undoubted' more would have been secured had not some sort of a tip been given out. whether from official sources or other wise it is not known. In one place a crowd of men had gone out but a few minutes before the sheriff's force en tered. Justice Witter gave the bunch that was assembled in his office a lecture, on inferred that the demi-monde are like ly to find the sledding rather rough in Rock Island in future. This afternoon the case against Jack McPartland, accused of being a keeper was dismissed before Justice McFar lane on motion of State's Attorney Weld. RIVER RIPLETS.
