Beil and I J. Truman sent their regrets at | being unable to attend and excused their absence on various grounds. | Police Commissioner McNutt read a pa- per on the subject under discussion. He Dheld that the evil must be dealt with in a moro. business-like manner than it has | been dealt with In the past. He was op- | posed to the proposition of licensing | houses of ill repute and was of the opinion that the objectionable classes should be kept within certain_ territory within the | city, but not under the shadow of| churches and_schools. | The Rev.

He believed that there should be arrests and imprisonment of 4 offenders against the moral laws. | | c The Rev. Dr. William H. Rader said, rele that the social evil was a festering sore on the body politic. He believed in re- strictive measures, as he had no faith in prohibitory law: 1 believe in confining the objectionable classes to a definite quarter,” sald he. “What we particularly need is the en- forcement ot the laws we now have and not the emact of new statutes.” Acting_Chairman Greensfeider appoint- ed N.
