' Police headquarters was crowded this morning with a miscellaneous gathering, composed of soldiers, wom en -in dancing - attire, and citizens' in general. They were prisoners ...of a raid, the result 'of a spasm of indig nant virtue that had Nsome over Jus tice "Scoop', O'Brien at the fag end of the old year. Last evening there were dances at the Lyceum, Madison, Sailer's, Ger mania, Arion and Sadler's halls, where working people he)d. receptions - and were dancing the old year out and the new one in. . Beer was sold at some warrants for liquor seizures' made out 1 for the purpose of raiding those halls. The warrants were given to Deputy Sheriff Peter Doolan. . The result was that raids were made, fre fights between the police and the dancers occurred, and thXholiday time was turned into a season" of indigna tion and sorrow. .v.. . V i . The flrstl raid" was made at Lyceum hall and Sheriff Doolan was accom panied by Special Policeman Eeenan. At this hall the Rackoczy: Magyar Sick Benefit society was. holding a New Year's dance. Frank Nemefchy, the barkeeper, was urested. . The next raid was at Sadler's hall on Willard streets The , Kosciusko Guard, a Polish military organizationi was holding sway- at this hall. The members of the guard were attired In military costume. When the sher iff and Eeenan attempted t& raid the place a turmoil ensued. ' The raiding" posse was then augmented, -by Police men Edgar Fisher, Garry Sanger, Pete Hackett and : John Byrnes. : Police man Hackett was trying to force an entrance hen Sophia Sink, a lady in yellow, hit him oer the head with a beer bottle, lacerating the policeman's scalp. The patrol vwagon with eight men and Captain, Hunt was then call ed to the scene. In the barroom the soldiers y attacked the policemen with sabres. In ten minutes the police en tered the ' barroom, leaving scores . of broken heads and bloody noses be hind them. Fourteen kegs of beer were seized and 40 dancers arrested. "Scoop" and the doughty sheriff en countered some fun at Germania hall, where Olga lodg,. O. D. H. 6.,. were having a Christmas tree party. Mrs. Anton Deiger, president of the socie ty, took Sheriff Doolan for an intruder and refused tovadmit him. When .he finally entered he was roughly han dled. Policemen Hackett, Schauweck er, Blansfield and Dean went ito the sheriff's assistance,. ' Two kegs of beer were seized and John Hummel, Julius Schoenfleld, William ' Stokes, Edward Heines, Julius Wolff, Anton Deiger and Arthur Kibvey were arrested ..for e sisting an officer. The raid broke up tn.ChristmaS tree party and the chil dren : went home crying. At Arion hall two kegs of beer were seized. All L m all Sooopusr had a very prontable evening.", r ' - . .. BREJTNEK. IS KNOWN HERE." John ' F. Brenner, ' one of the at taches of the Ingleside race track of San Francisco,; who was on the car held up ., Christmas night . by masked men, (was a former resident of this city.

Walker Son, who occupy a store in the build ing. ' For years this building has been one of the most notorious in this sec tion. It was built about 18 6 8 by the late Elisha Hubbell.

THE REUABLE JEWELER iS FAIRFIELD AVENUE NEAR MIDDLE STREET r -rtf-f --"flp ti fk nn if n m RUMANIA SELLS GRAIN SUPPLIES TO THE TEUTONS Vienna, Jan. 1 Rumania has sold to the Central Powers 50,000 carloads of cereals, mostly wheat, Indian corn and navy beans. The sale, unlike some others which preceded it, has been made at a reasonable market price, an no snenial innpAmAnto fered, nor will it be necessary this time to engage in the wholesale brib- ing of Rumanian government and rail road officials to get the purchases out of the country. Rumania was obliged to sell to the Central Powers because she cannot sell to anybody else. The closing of the Dardanelles has locked the gate to other markets, and Russia, the only other Entente power with whom Ru - mama now has physical contact, is not in the market for Rumania ce reals. - So long as Serbia was still a fact and a neighbor, Rumania was able to ship some of her foodstuffs to Saloniki, from where they could 'be reached by Entente and neutral con sumers. Now this route is closed. with the conquest of Serbia the Central Powers have gained a great economic advantage. Rumania must sell to them, if she does not want to have her crops rot on her hands, and what is considered just as important here, must ''sell on terms more favora ble" to Germany and Austria-trungary than she has in the past. But in addition to selling to the two Empires, Rumania is also export ing much food to Bulgaria,- and, even to Turkey in Europe. Though there Is a large supply of wheat, bar ley and other grains in Antolia and Syria, Constantinople has not . been able to reach - these easily, owing to limited railroad transport facilities. Rumanian flour being more accessible right now than Anatolian unmilled grain, the city administration of Con stantinople has just concluded a con tract for a large quantity of flour which Rumania is to supply, the first deliveries being equal to about 2,000 carloads. v Much of this has already been rushed south via the new eastern Bulgarian through route. In addition to having no market for Rumanian grain and other food stuffs, Russia has enough mineral oil of her own, so Rumania will be ob. liged. to sell this necessity to the Cen tral power group of belligerents. Ne gotiations for a more advantageous sale basis are . said to be in progress. , Rumania's, attitude in these -matters, toto, has a diplomatic j back ground. Her government intends to remain .neutral so ' long as possible, and 'it is declared she will join the Central' Powers in case pressure from Entente quarters obliges her to take action.. Well-informed circles here explain the situation in this manner. The recent mining of the Rumanian Danube . stretches seems to support this view. The mining of these wa ters would embarrass no other than Russian shipping. Meanwhile the Bucharest press has begun to speak in plain terjns of "Ser bia's fate and the difficulty of Greece's position. . There is still a large Austro-Hungarian force . on. the Rumanian .frontier, and papers like the ; Bucharest Moldava never weary in pointing out that a hostile move by: Rumania towards Austria-Hungary or Bulgaria would make the country a "third Belgium.

No books of lin ; ""l on P"cai subjects were acqulred beore Peter's accession, but a very respectable number were add ed to the library in the twelve years of his reign. Another department of the library i flating from his time is looked upon I by the German and Austro-Hungarian conauerers of the city as significant, i zt is devoted to catalogues and works j of general information concerning j s0-1 ax-ma laciunes oi me worm,, in eluding Putiloff, Creusot, Armstrong and Krupp. Many excellent pictures are included in this department. . Most of the treasures and furnish ings of the Konak (royal palace) were removed when the royal family left the city, . but the library was left behind. A Vienna librarian, for the Mast fifteen years in charge of the Oriental languages department of the Vienna royal library, has been en trusted with the cataloguing of the Serbian royal library. He told the Associated Press representative some interesting details about the collec tion. , The oldest book in the library, which Is neither of great extent nor great worth, dates from 1580, and is in German. Few old Serbian books were found. The books acquired be fore the reign of Alexander are chief ly of the sort found in any- middle clr 33" family's library. They are chiefly in French. The books added during Alexander's reign are mainly fiction. No books of political import ance were acquired by him. An interesting collection; dating from this period comprises vast num bers of amatory poems written by -women and children - in praise of Queen Draga, iwho appears to have been greatly beloved by the common people. In the same department are many musical compositions, chiefly military marches, dedicated to King Alexander. Many of these, according to the librarian, were rather triumphs of musical memonics than original compositions of worth. ' A visitors' register kept , by the Serbian royal librarian shows that the great majority of visitors consisted of British students of tne Balkan ques tion. They appear to have made ex tended use of the botoks available. All political books have been Sent to Vienna, where they 'will be studied for any matters of importance to the conquerors. MUNICIPAL, CHRISTMAS TREE CELEBRATION IS CLOSED FOR SEASON The vruniciDal Christmas, tree ob servance which was formally opened Christmas eve came to a close last evening with ' appropriate N exercises.
