Carried Away by Force to Dens of Wickedness. St. Louis, Feb. 26.—As the result ofa crand jury investigation insti- tated by the circuitattorney, Joseph W. Folk,a raid on a syndicate of vice was made this afternoon on bench warrants charging Louis and Max Soviner, alias Sabiner and Charles, alias “Beef” Williams with conducting “slave houses” where young girls are systematically sold into vice. Nathan Kreunzer, a partner of the Soviner Bros. in the saloon business, was also arrested on @ bench war- rant It is expected that wholesale arrests of policemen, women and real estate owners will follow to-morrow as the result of disclosures made before the grand jury by the half hundred witnesses examined to-day. The Sovenir Bros., Circuit Attorney Folk says, were run put of New York vity ior offenses similar to those “barged against them here, when the storms in that city were instituted, and they are said to be proprietors ot at least ten houses in this city where the riff-raff of New York have Deer imported and vice is placed at aolow a figure that even young boys and yirls are corrupted. GIRLS TAKEN f ORCIBLY. According to the cireuit attorney's office the conditions which have pre- railed in these “slave houses” are in- describable, Protected by the police vice has flourished and grown in all its most hideous forms and the sec- tion of the city between Twelfth and Ainth streets, Lucas and Morgan, became the scene of nightly crimes. {t is charged that women and girls returning from their work in the evening have been lured or forcibly dragged into these vile houses and ~ gompelled to do the-bidding—of-their raptors. Sométimes they were kept prisoners for days and when they es- eaped they were too much ashamed to tell about it. The women who wereimported here for the Soviner Bros. are said to be the worst type imaganable and the traffic has been systematized to a degree that will startle the world, Men and women havelured girlefrom eountry towns and have even gone Gnto the streets after night and cap- tured them, to force them into slav- ery. The worst feature of all in this ! latest exposure of municipal corrup- ¢ tion ia the apparent connection of the police department with the pro tection of theseinfamous dens. There is a well defined report that some of the highest police officials in the city will be indicted for accepting boodle ‘0 protect the Soviner Bros.’ places, and it is an open secret at the four courts that to-day’s raid on the “slave houses” marks the beginning of the open breach between circuit attorney Folk and the police depart- ment. Mr. Folk was displeased by the manner in which Chief Kiely executed his orders to raid the houses this afternoon.

Paducah, Ky., Feb. 27.—During the hearing of a disorderly condiet | charge against Doctor A. Perkins, alleged clairvoyant, theatrical in- stractor and vital healer, in the City Court, W. R. Stanley, of Memphis, a witness for the city, made a state- ment that almost caused mob vio- lence. . Perkins was charged with taking undue liberties with Gertrude Lynch, @ 14-year-old girl from Memphis, who came here to join a thea’ company which Perkins claimed to be forming. x While on the stand, Stanley made a remark reflecting on the honor of women in general. No eooner had he said it than At torney Jesse Moss for the defense jumped to his feet und called the wit- ness a liar, repeating it forcibly two or three times. He also told Stanley that he could find him on the street just aftercourt adjourned or at his office. Attorney Moss had followers. There was a general disapproval of the witness’ remarks, and Special Judge W. A. Berry, anticipating}. trouble, loudly called out: ‘“Courtis adjourned until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning.” Stanley was rushed to a room, and two or three persons tried to reach him, but.the police interfered. Quick- ly a large crowd of men gathered on the outside of the hall and waited for Stanley, but Chief of Police Collins would not let him leave the hall. Later Stanley was locked up on a breach of the police charge. Judge Berry afterwards stated that he would not have fined Attor- ney Moss had he struck Stanley.

L. Tucker’s Drug Store. Dog-oned Costly. Nevada, Mo., Feb, 21.—Albert Badger must pay over $700 for kill- ing W. I. Fisher’s dog, a pedigreed foxhound. The owner sued for $100 damages. The case was tried three times, appealed to the Kansas City court of appeals, decided adversely to the plaintiff there and is dismisseu by agreement that the defendant pay court costs. Badgér’s wife awoke him in tle night of June 11, 1900. She heard strange noises in the house, Badger got his gun and went around the house. He heard movements in the dining room and demanded that the intruder come out. Fisher's dog leaped from the window, and Badger shot him. Te the layman this seems to pres- ent a plain case wherein no damuges things differently. Fisher employed L. L. Scott, William Bowker and J. B Journey to sue; Badger employed ex-Congressman C. G.* Burton, T. J. Myers and J. T. Harding. They fought in the couris two and a half years. There were two incomplete trials, and the case went to the third jury, the dog.
