Miller | ordered the King st. res ed die jtriet closed, graft has swollen to 4 size abnormal From that day, deadline denizens have spread over the city, Street walkers, carryin: with them the human teeche who live off their sin-stained earnings, have multiplied. Street walkers, a clase of law breakers scarcely known two years ago, are easier to find by far than the patroimen who are supposed to walk the same streets, Some women and girls are per mitted to frequent saloons, work ing on a percentage for drinks sold, while others are dragged from the same saloons and thrown into jaik Why? Up town hotels harbor women and their consorts—women koown to the police to have been inmates of the notorious “cribs” of the for mer old and new restricted tender joins. Why? And there are dozens of lodging houses, hotels and rooming houses on Pike st. and on Third ay. that do not know the meaning of @ “rald.” Why? Other hotels and lodging houses in the same district are watched with hawk-like intensity, Why? Certain “massage parlor ‘pau itarlums,” “hygienic parlors,” and other resorts are allowed to rua unmolested. These resorts are called “massage parlors,” ete, but the name is a mere mask for un- Heensed vice. WHY ARE THESE CONDITIONS PERMITTED TO EXIST? In certain known cases the ee actually are aware of the nightly | carousals and disorderly scenes, WHY ARE NOT THESE LAND LADIES, LANDLORDS AND IN- | MATES PROMPTLY ARRESTED? | It is known that a certain manager of a saloon in this city coliects weekly graft money from women who frequent his saloon. He has told the wom: en that the money goes “to square the copper on the beat.” { The police know of this mam ager's “strong talk.” | Have they “grabbed” him? NO. AND Wey?

It believes that | the onl¥ remedy is the placing of these women in one or more dia | triets where they can be looked | after properly by the police. The Siar is familiar with the plans the mayor has along this line, and it has approved of them. | It Is Up to the Mayor. It is up to the mayor to see that all of these plans are carried out at the earliest possible moment. If it is agreed that the carrying out of these plans is best for the entire community, the mayor should go ahead with them without ref erence to the fact that objection | may come from various individuals, Only In this way can these stories of graft be hushed up.
