LONDON, Eel,)., 2. The London police, in the early hours of this morning, made two raids on night clubs. The first was in Long Acre, where the names of thirty dancers were taken. The second was in Chancery Lane. Motor tenders occupied every side of the street. Then the police rushed the hall and found two hundred people around the dance floor. Fifty-nine men, women, and girls, who were found in possession of liquor, were taken to the police station. These, together with the proprietors of the clubs, were summoned to Bow Street, some appearing in fancy dress. The dancers were mostly fined forty shillings. The prosecution alleged that it was a bogus club, to which anyone could he admitted gratis, an in which they could buy any kind of liquor. The cases against the proprietors and others were adjourned.
