That also fa an unsolved riddle. Undoubtedly the presence of the cheap beer sa- joons which line Washington and Main eets for blocks and serve thousands of hungry tramps with hot stew and foaming mugs for a nickel a throw at all hours of the day and night, serves to keep a large floating population in the old ten- erioin. But can the police drive out the saloons which merely harbor the homeless? In the judgment of others have studied the problem the FOUR BIG POOLROOMS Which operate tn the old tenderiotn serve to attract thousands of unde sirable citizens who would other- wise drift southward Into the dis- trict set apart for tinhorn sports and their female consorts. But there is no certainty that the police could Close the poolrooms, even were they so minded. A third reform which would un- doubtedly be productive of good would be the artving out of the fall- en women who now swarm in the hotels and lodging houses of the dis trict. Several ‘Big lodging house notably thesomewhat notorious De- trott hotel, make a specialty of ca- tering to the patronage of aban done’ women.
