AUTOISTS LEAP
FROM WINDOWS
ROAD HOUSE RAIDED AND THE
VISITORS FLEE
Officers Descend Upon Notorious Re.
sort on Pasadena Short Line,
Arrest Proprietor and Con.
fiscate Liquor
Clinrley Smithes road house, known as
the Suburbnivhome, located on the Pas
adena short line, just outside the city
limits, was raided last night.
Leaping through windows and rush
ing out the back door, about a dozen
men and women, constituting several
automobile parties, escaped from what
they feared would be an arreßt and con
sequent appearance in police court.
No effort was made by the raiders to
capture any of the fleeing and thor
oughly frightened visitors, but the of
ficers made certain that Smith did not
escape. The arrest was made without
trouble and this morning the proprietor
of the place, which has been the cause
of many complaints to the police, will
come Into the city in charge of deputies
and accompanied by a truck load of
liquors found in the resort.
Smith will be arraigned before Jus
tice Young at 9 o'clock this morning.
The raid was planned by Constable
.1. Hi Delamonte and the officer was ac
companied by Edward J. Fleming, as
sistant district attorney, and half a
dozen deputies. These deputies were
stationed nbout the building and Con
stable Delamonte entered -the place.
His appearance caused the wildest kind
of a scramble among tho visitors, and
in their haste to get away from the
scene men and women fairly tumbled
'into waiting machines, regardless of
proprietorship and made record runs
back to town.
After the arrest of Smith, Constable
Delamonte searched the place. He
found in a back room a bar which, he
declares wns as well stocked as any
saloon in Los Angeles and in the cellar
he discovered stored a large quantity
of wines and liquors.
Knowing that Smith could not on ac
count of the lateness nt the hour pro
cure bail, the constable permitted him
to remain at the resort In charge of two
deputies, who were left to guard the
seized liquor. Smith and the confiscated
goods will be brought Into town this
morning.
Smith's license was revoked about six
months ago, but it is alleged th.'it for
some time past he has been operating
his resort in a wide-open manner.

PANAMA BONDS
OVERSUBSCRIBED
SECRETARY SHAW IS PLEASED
WITH RESULTS
Best Single Offer for Thirty Million
Dollar Issue Was by New York.
. ers— Awards Will Not Be
,; , .. ; , Made Till Today
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 20.— Bids were
opened at the treasury department late
today for the $30,000,000 ten thirty-year
Panama cannl bonds under Secretary
Shaw's circular of July 2, and although
no awards will be made until tomorrow
or later, it Is evident that the entire
issue has been subscribed for an aver
age of from 103.94 to 103.96.
Secretary Shaw and other officials of
the treasury department expressed
themselves highly pleased and entirely
satisfied with the figures obtained.
The total number and amounts of
bids made will not be ascertained until
tomorrow, but It is appaent that the
whole Issue has been subscribed several
times over.
The largest and best single offer was
that of Flsk & Robinson of New York,
who made six bids of $5,000,000 each, at
an average of 103.85. Smaller bids at
higher prices, however, will probably
reduce the amount which will likely
be awarded to them to about $15,000,
000.
One bid of 106 for the wl.ole ißsue
came from a man named Lindsay at
New Orleans, but on account of con
ditions named and for other reasons
the bid was not considered.
■Several telegraphic bids were received
too late to be consider. 1, but the prices
named were, '.00 small to be successful.
The secretary, ha-lng stated that the
bonds would be numbered serially be
ginning with the highest bid, one offer
was made ut 125 for $1000, thus secur
ing to the bidder bond No. 1. An exam
ination of th b»st bids showed that
offers of 1041-16 and up aggregatde
$15,349,860; 104 to 104 1-16 aggregated
$1,100,880; 103.75 to 104 aggregated $14,
177.000.
A bid of 104.65 Is the lowest at which
any of the bonds cun be awarded.

Constitutional Party Sick of Playing
With Edged Tools
By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 20.— N0 fur
ther action regarding the proposed ad
dress to the people was taken by the
lower house of parliament today. . The
constitutional Democratic members ap
peared to be heartily sick of the whole
episode and anxious to drop the subject
if the' government is so minded, and
there. ls a disposition to shelve the ad
dress by Indefinite postponement of the
question as to the manner of its publi

Prof. Mllukoff and other I leaders of
the constitutional Democratic party to
day carefully pointed out that the docu

There is no question but that the
fiasco has enormously shaken the pres

and the leaders of that party are crest
fallen over having been induced to play
with such edged tools.
Prof. Milukoff, M. Struve and others
admitted frankly today that one effect
will be to postpone to the dim future
the advent of a constitutional Demo
cratic ministry as the vote on the adop
tion of the address showed that the
party was actually In the minority In
the house and too weak to control the
situation when faced by the combined
opposition of the right and left to any
measure.
Prof. Milukoff told the Associated
Press tonfght that he believed there
was no longer any reason to appre
hend the dissolution of parliament as
the government would rather seek to
profit by its dissensions. The Peterhof
circles are reported to be jubilant over
4he discomfiture of the constitutional
Democrats. ■■ ■<: 7 ■
