Police last night raided a house here where a private Zionist meeting was being held, attended by thirty persons. They took the names of all persons present, but only arrested the owner of the house and the chairman and speaker of the meeting.
The reason for the raid, police stated, was that permission to hold the meeting had not been obtained from the proper authorities. It is believed that the three men arrested are being held on technical charges and will be released some time today.
