War7iinil.lit PM Philadelphia, July L-lly a gigantic police raid the new ad tiiiiiifst mtion of Philadelphia emphasized its hold nn the city government, and swept clear of questionable resorts a territory of twenty square miles, includ ing the Tenderloin aud fine residential districts. Everything from message bouses to opium Joints and "speak-casies" were closed. Station-houses could not hold the prisoners, and from mid night last night uutil 9 o'clock this morning live magistrates labored to dispose o( the cases. Hardly a man on the force slept all night, and every patrol wagon in the city was in con stant requisition. The follow* ing figures will give some idea of the extent ol the movement. One hundred and fifty houses, consisting of "speak-easies," disorderly resorts, placet of as signation. and -political clubs were entered. Close upon 2,0U0 priMmvn*, uuu nuu »wuuu, were taken. Approximate amount oflfmei imposed upon men found in the places, $5,000. Approxi mate amount of bail imposed upon proprietors aud inmates, $100 000. Three hundred quarts of cliampaigne and hundreds of cases of fine liquors, whiskey, and beer, hundreds of boxes of cigars, dozens of roulette wheels, poker tables, slot machines and gsiubliug devices of all kinds confiscated. Number of police employed in the raid, 400. Tbe raid was made upon evidence secured by the Law and Order Society, which has been in their possession for months, and which no lever could ever be fore make the police department act upon. After consultation with Director of Public Safety Potter, Secretary Gibboney, ol the society, swore ont the war rants for the proprietors. STRICT ORDKR TO COLICK. Kvery police captaiu wai called in and given bis orders that tbe places must be raided and that no tip should go out. Failure to obey meant loss ol jobs. At the same time police were drawn in from ever) district into tbe section ovei which the uci was to be spread aud scores of reserves in plait clothes were assigned to posts. Simultaneously at U o’clock tbe net began to close in. Ovei twenty square miles wen dragged. In five statkm-honscs sat magistratca readv (or the name* of lb* victims. By midnight these station-houses were filled, ten others were jammed to the doors, and the meat cel) room in the city hall could hold no more. Kvery few minute* saw fresh patrol loads of the dtag before the door. To the Tenderloin the tiling was not new, and the painted' women of the section smoked cigarettes, laughed, and swore and cried, mi the mood took them. But mixed with ibe psluted women J with drunken negroes, and the vicious htug* era on of tire slums were • men in full dress, clubmen, men of refinement, politicians, lawyers, and men whose faces are famil iar in |>uhlic gatherings ami in the higher walks of life. Crunching in corners of the police stations, trying to bide behind the tinsel nnd the oc casional too-scauty clothing of the Tenderloin women, were other women—women whose faces showed that they were of gentle families, women of birth and breeding. There were girls not out «-f their teens, whose. clothing spoke of luxury and who bore the indelible touch of a gentle home. There were women who were beautiful, nutl iHiuc of all these bore a mark of the Tenderloin. URSMiRATlt IN HKR IHSGRCK. They had not been taken easily. The men in Tuxedos and crush hats bad fought like roadmen to open a way of es cape for the in selves and the womeu who were with them. In manv eases the notice had held the hands of women bent on suicide. Some of these women, with utter ruin and disgrace be fore them, bad fongbt tbe policemen more effectually than did tbe men. Some had es caped. but they were few. Front one honse, 919 Green street, a woman, tali,dark, mag nificently built, aud with every mark of breeding, threw two policemen from her and jumped from a third-story window. She was caught by the feet, and two policemen held like grim death to her while the woman vitcntly tried to wrest herself from them. "Kill me, kill me,* this wo man moaued to tbe man who had been with her, ani who, held by two other bluecoals. was strag gling to free himself. ”J have children," she told tbe police. "My husband will ldU me.” She stripped all her jewels and held them out to them. •They’re yours if you will only let me go,” she said. Tbe man offered a great sum to .the police. Their fingers itched, biit they did not dare to release the two. They were piled into n patrol, and through a howling crowd were taken with sthers, into the police station’ in all the cases, tbs wotass arts placed in s cell, where she [aimed. The man, as in every rase was fined $10 and costs, and allowed to go. The woman apes Ltcr held iu $500 bail tor coatt as sn inmate of the lioaae. She »as not an inmate. It was prob ably the fitst time that she bed ever been in it. She must ah in the dock at the next term ol ike Criminal Court sod her shame be publicly proclaimed. THIRD TO KMX TIHQUUaVHH. Of the many women from these houses of assignation who, des perate and hysterical, tried to cover shame with death, two al most succeeded. One stabbed herself; the other threw herself down a flight of stairs. Both were taken to hospitals under a*tamed names. fn the station-house at Tenth and Thompson streets, a man portly and kiudiy looking, whose face is known at every event of importance in Philadel phia, stood and saw the woman who was arrested with him led to a cell. "My God. lienteaiat,* he whispered, "this will ruin her and wreck one of tbc best fam ilies in the city." »TS_t:_*_a _sL i«g. The portly man paid his fine ami rushed oat. Later be cattle tiack with hail, and the woman, fainting and almost dead from shame, was led out of the room. She was recognised at a beanty whose face la famil iar at the opera and who baa a charming family and borne. All through the morning the magistrates labored, and still there was no diminishing of the crowds. All the night and all the morning the hearings went ou. Bach ‘of the men, if he were not a principal was fined $10 and costs. Every one of the women, whether she was hardened or a neophyte from the upper world, was held ia hail for trial. Thera is oae who aces the good of it all. A little messen ger boy sauntered into the crowded cell room at Central Station about noon. He bora several messages to fair prison er*. "Gee,” be said "if there was only a raid like this every day. I've made $30 since 3 o'clock, and I’m never going home."
