Hawkins’ Sermon Describing Conditions Found by Investigators The mayor issued a statement last week in which he sald: hotel; again by & white woman at another ( ) hotel, end stil again by « 5 white wom an a ther ( ) hotel. “Neither myself, the chief of A man went to —— hotel, one police nor any police offleer of the lowest dives In the city, knows of any place in this elty where whisky, moonshine or any other form of intoxicating liquor is sold.” 1 would say, if this statement of the mayor Is true concerning vice in our city, he ought to be called Innocence Abroad, Let us state a hypothetical case. | Lat us suppose there te a fairly in| telligent group of citizens who have given a reasonable amount of time in the last two months to the study loft the Uquor situation. If they had} |wone about the work conscientiously, land then these men should stand be fore the city and should say that) they knew of no place in the city where whisky, moonshine or other form of intoxicating liquor ts sold.) then I should my that these men were either trying to deceive the public or that they were a bunch of idiots, or else they w crooks tn league with the liquor interests 1 have quantities of evidence with which I can substantiate the selling of liquor, The fact is that any man who wants to get whisky In thie town can get a flask in his hip pocket. It has become = well organised bust ness, so that Seattle is today honeycombed with it, There are 15 bootiegsing places in four blocks on one of the main streets tm our city. I have spoken of the dance halls and cabarets, gambling and whisky, but the worst part of Beattle te to be found in houses of iniquity, The mayor mys: “A wide open town is one in which gambling, drinking or @isorderiy conduct of women is open- ly carried on.” On the basis of thin definition, I make the statement that Seattle for the past fow weeks has been wide open. First, let us note a few general statements. A girl who ts an “old. timer” In Seattle was asked by a man who knew her and her work and record “how business was.” replied that the girls were #0 thick going up and down the street in front of her house and picking up all the men that came along that she could not make a itving. it is pretty open, isn't it, when this Is the situation? But you say that she wae # lewd woman and you will not take her word. Very well, look at the facts as we have gathered them. In one small area in Se attle tonight there are 23 houses where men are openly solleited, and none of these places was open six months ago. There are places where it was possible six months ago to secure only whis- ky, and then it had to be done surreptitiously, but now it ts possible not only to secure whis ky but girls. In one section of this city « man was solicited between 4:30 and 6 o'clock In the evening 18 thes. In one section of the ety on the previons day a man was so Helted in two hours In the even: ing 15 times, } In one section girls sat at the wink dow, tapped on the window pane, ire ed the windew, talked with men and invited them to come in. Friends, that sounds pretty much Iike the old “ped light” days, and If this is not an “open city,” then I do not know the meaning of the English Innguage. These are not agreeable facta, but 1 ask ‘you to listen in al! possible pa- tience, These are reports of men who attend this church, who went out to discover the actual conditions in the city, and if X should mentton thelr nam you would implicitly trust thelr word. “AL NO... seees tity I waa solicited from ® window on the third floor.” “At No, ... + vieeees Mihy wns solicited by a colored woman from the window, MAUNO, ce. crreseceees Atty @ woman came to the door and called out, ‘Come In, boney.’” “AUNO,... - at, I wna solicited ‘two on from the it floor.” “At No, colored woman rapped on the window to attract my attention, When I looked up, she raised the window and called for me to come in.” MALNO, 1. scceeseneses My E way solicited by & colored woman from the second floor, I then walked on .......... 6t, and wan solicited by colored women from three different houses.” A man went up to No. ... . st, and wag solicited by ® white woman from an up- stairs window, and also by @ white Woman Bt 10 no emvacnne ; thru the press on Thursday of She} and was solicited for drink, dope and girls, At 1145 Thursday night # man went to —— hotel, where he registered, and was immediately solicited by the landlady for drinks and girs. Pardon my repetition of there facts, I know that they grow monot onous, but our charge is that Beattie is an “open city.” and only by repe- tition of many frets can we substan |tiate this argument, They are cer tainly accumulative, but let us Iaten |to & few more.

He saw different girlie going from room to room knocking on the doors, remain. ing a few minutes, then going to other doors to repeat the process, and entering the rooms, A man entered the Liberty, that place for which the mayor on Monday night made his plea for the “dear little girls and their salartes.” Here le what he says “Mr. Hawkins doran’t offer any substitute for the dance hall. He just says ‘Close them.” What would happen to these women If we followed his advice? Does Mr. Hawkins ex peet them to go to work for $13 in week Instead of the $30 or $35 which they now make, and which permite them to live de cently?” ‘Woll, let us see how decently they live. A man entered the Liberty. He was approached by a woman who threw her arms around him and tried to carry him off by storm, de claring that he must buy her a drink. Then she tnvited him to her SNORE: UE cendarees ou hotel aftor the dance, This ts the way thene giris make their $30 or $36 & week, and ily the mayor would rather fee them making $36 @ week In this kind of work Here ie another fact which ft te well for you to think about, when such high-minded things are being aid about this dance hall. These are facts which you can secure for yourself as they ate public records. One of these dance halls is managed by Mr. . He was at one time arrested by Ge Seattle police, found guilty and fined for Violation of the liquor act. Later he was arrested for driving an automo- bile while drunk. Still later he was arrested in @ vio clean-up and turn e4 over to the city health depart ploye of the health department to substitute a healthy man's blood tn the two follow up tests and #o got Telenned.

The yroman this young man lived with at the time claimed that Mr. ........4. was responsible for her downfall and that he lived off her earnings. ‘This te only part of hie record and yet this is the man the mayor ap- parently would hi these girls live under for $30 or a week. But let ue go on. A man entered a cabaret, one of the most notort- ous here tn the center of the city and one that f# running without a Heense, yet the city authorities do not glose it This man entered, checked his hat and overcoat, was given @ ticket and assigned to @ table, He ordered a soft drink for himself, and in @ short time was invited to join two girle at another table.

He proceeded to the hotel and asked for a room, but was met by the landlady, and before the girl from the cabaret could arrive, the landlady had pro- vided him with a girl from the hotel and whisky, which she drank but he did not. When he proceeded to go she clung to him and tried to tn- duce him to go to her room. Fur thermore, the girls from this cab. aret, which ts running without « Meense in the center of our city, were running back and forth to said hotel with men all during the evening. Now, for any man to say that the police know nothing about these conditions In our city is so evidently a plece of propa — to fool the public that the propaganda reacts upon tie aajor and makes bin ridio ment and treated for a diseam.

The mayor of this city te the head of the police and absolutely responsible for the police force. He cannot shift the respon- sibility on to anybody else. He knows that these things exist and he could clone them if he would. I do not believe that I exaggerate when I nay that the police force of Seattle in a deplorable condition. Lat me repeat, there are scores of men on the force who are conacien- tous and want to do thetr duty. A finer body of police officers could not be found anywhere tn the land. They would do their duty if they had a chance, but the heart Is taken out of many of these men because of tho conditions of the force as it in today. | Some of them know that a too strict | enforcement is not desired.
