Evenin Padlished by the Hress Publishing Company, Entered at the Post-Ofice at New York as Seoond-Class Mail Matter, ——___ VOLUME 46,....... " The passage throug under arrest has begun again. It is an old familiar sight, th the periodical “clean-up” of the Tenderloin, Shoals of unfortunates caught in the police drag-net are carted to the @tations, locked up over night or released on bail furnished by professional Dondsmen, haled before the Magistrate in the morning and, for the most part, discharged, while some few are sent to the island, and perhaps one ‘or two committed for trial. Other scenes in the same farce follow in due order until the curtain fs rung down with the announcement that the Tenderloin is “clean.” The lamor then quieting down, the victims of the raids return to their old fhaunts, the lid is off once more and things go on as of old until the cur- tain is again rung up for a new performance of the old farce. The time has long passed when this form of police activity for the “suppres%ion of vice” could in the least hoodwink the public. It well understands that the arrest of a single highwayman or house-breaker does more for the peace of the city and the security of life and limb than any number of raids on pool-rooms or gambling-houses or disorderly reso e first sce More captures of thugs like the one who felled Miss Williams at the) foot of the Sixty-sixth street “L” stairs are what is wanted. First let us get the big criminals, and permit the small-fry misdemeanants to take their chances after the first functions of a police department have been properly performed and the city made safe. The thirteen cases of robbery with murderous assault occurring within six days make an alarming showing for unsate conditions. That thieves are busy from Union Square to the Bronx, that a highwayman can follow! @ woman from an Elevated train to beat and rob her in the street, that women are held up in their homes and stabbed and a hotel clerk shot at his desk point to a disgracefully inefficient patrol of the streets. These dangers are not to be diminished by “cleaning up” a vicious | district. A BROOM FOR THE TENDERLOIN IS NOT A REMEDY FOR A CRIME WAVE. That must be met by a more vigilant and effec- tive patrol system and dealt with more directly. Incidentally, let us have a little of the Tenderloin cleaning activity applied to secure some semblance of safety in Chinatown. Or is it the} theory of the police that that settlement is a no-man’s land which is to be! left to fight out its feuds of extermination to a finish? A record of se | enteen murders in this limited area within a year, an average of one to) every 412 persons, makes life there cheaper than in the Mississippi crime | belt. The murderous conditions prevailing in Chinatown, together with the present alarming outcropping of robbery and assault elsewhere in the city, combine to indict the police for most reprehensible laxity, # Letters from the People. =) Umbrellas and Ostriches.

Witzhoff. wanted by the po- lice of Long Island City for wedding seven local belles in as many days and by the authorities of Philadelphia, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City for similar rapid-transit weddings. Even while Johann Hoch, prematurely christened the modern Bluaveard, languishea under sentence of death in a Chicago cell, and Frederick Carlton, the arch-bigamist, reflects in his Raymond street fastness that it's a long time between wives, this latest and most accomplished mam rier pursues unchecked his matrimonial way, and even while the police of seven cities are looking for him may be still cinching the pennant that must be awarded him as the most wholesale husband. Most men regard themselves as lucky when they achieve one wife, and considering Dr. Witzhoff, who seems to have won women faster than he could count them, we naturally picture him as a being of supernal charm and accomplishmnts, But not so! According to published descriptionc, he {s @ middle-sized. thick-set, very dark, forty-year-old specimen, with nothing to distinguish |him from his more conservative fellows who consider one wife ‘“suffi- cfency.” And all the distinguished bigamfsts of the past have been similarly commonplace in appearance. What, then, {s the secret of thelr charm? In my opinion, Fancy, in cases like this, is bred ne{ther in the heart nor in the head, but in the pocketbook. The bigamist victim wants a sup- port and straightway marries it when it offers. Then, too, she 1s frequent- ly of a class to whom marriage of amy sort is a rehabilation. Or course, the hypnotic state is frequently induced uy staring at a coin, sometimes a dime, sometimes a dollar, held by the hypnotist. And to this form of hypnosis it must be admitted women are especially subject. But 1t doesn’t matter who holds it, as in cases like Witzhoff’s it doesn't matter what the husband looks like, so he possesses the coin or its equiva- lent. ——__—_ Said wx one the ewe Side.
