MND JURY HUNTS cH VAMPRES WHO LUE YOUNG GIS Begins’ Investigation of Crim- inal Charge Against Brook- lyn Sons of Wealth. NTICED BY JOY RIDES. Daughters of Good Families Lured by Organized -Clique to Drink and Worse. §The Kings County Grand J hee fan to-day to delve into the secrets Of & coterie of wealthy young Brooklyn soclety men who, possessed of motor care and well-lined pocketbooks, but Jeoking moral balance, have for more than @ year been making their pastime the scientific degredation of young girls. ‘With their automobiles and thelr as- surances of an exciting evening at the cabaret shows as the bait, these youths, who have drifted together into a more or Tess formal organization, have lured many girls of good fainily astray and the police believe that the mysterious disappearance of at least a dozen giris pow officially “missing might be traced back to them. Evidence against: two of the men ts now in the possession of Assistant Dis- triet-Attorney Louls Goldstein and will be presented to the Grand Jury in the near future. In the meantime further investigation will be made by Mr. Gold- stein, who learned of the existence of the debauchers’ clique through his official connection with the case of Martha Kohler, the seventeen-year-old schoolgirl daughter of James Pollock Kohler, a lawyer and politician of prom- fnence, on behalf of whom a serious charge has been made against Walter K. Doyle, a young real estate operator who until recently had offices at No. 16 Court street. STAMPEDE IN THE RANKS OF THE CLIQUE. ‘The activity of the District-Attorney's office and of Central Office detectives has caused a stampede already in ranks of the clique. Many of those whose appearance was desired before the Grand Jury and at the arraignment of Doyle in Flatbush Court next Tues- day morning, have left Brooklyn, and subpoenas issued for them remained un- nerved. Mr, Kohler, who is secretary to the ‘Tax Commission and has his own law offices at No. 4 Court treet, was sure to-day that representations had been made to his daughter by some member of the clique. The girl, who accused Doyle in an afMdavit she swore to last October, and who for @ time seemed willing to press the charge against him, has changed her attitude. She has told her father and her brothers, one of whom is Philip Kohler, Mayor Gay- nar's personal eecretary, that she will not testify to anything which may harm Doyle. . Kohler is also much mystified as need his daughter's trip to Atantic City last Saturday. She was tv have appeared against Doyle on ‘uesday in the Magistrate's Court, but on Saturday evening she disappeared in company with Miss Sadie Hermalin, a school teacher only a year or two older than herself. Someone provided Miss Kohler with $200, according to her father, who brought her back from At- lantic City Tuesday. In conversations with her father and brothers and with Mr. Goldstein and Detectives States, Downey and Sullivan, upward of twenty of the young fdlers who devote thelr time and energies to ensnaring Brooklyn girls, They believe that the power of the clique for harm has been greatly increased by the inva- ion of cafes where # cabaret enteriain- ment {8 @ concomittant attraction with cocktails, bighballs and wine, In one of these places—a pretentious kind of all-night restaurant which lately has been subjected to surveillance by the police and excise officers—the clique has its rendezvous, and there the latest eminine acquisition of one of the fouths 1s introduced to his companions, Here may be seen any evening—or early morning—sirls of sixteen and seventeen, sipping intoxicating drinks and loudly applauding the suggestive songs chor- used by the entertainers, Mr. Kohler, who has been making a personal investigation, that the proprietor of this place has laid out a large sum in decorating an apartment in the vicinity of the restaurant, .\1- most nightly, he gays, there are orgies in the apartment participated in by young girls, while the “fun” in the rese aurant is at its height and afterward, «Just Say’ HO.RLICK’S ° lt Means Original MALTED MILK d-drink for All Ages.

There is no doubt that Diogenes Jr. is right about some of us, But he seems to have been particularly unfore tunate in his-cholco of a subury, If no women travel on his trains save those that chatter incessantly ‘lothes, I advise him earnestly to move. I, tuo, lve in @ suburb, and once in a while I am very much amused by the con- versation that goes on about me as I come into town. The other day, for in- stance, one young woman behind me cx- claimed to inother: “Oh, aren't you terribly thrilled about Thingmajig?" and the subsequent conversation re- vealed that she was speaking of the death of Capt. Scott, Nevertheless, this young person lacked only a vocabulary an! a sense of fit- ness. When she had expressed thor- oughly her soméwhat inchoate feelings over the death of the Antarctic heroe! she proceeiled to give her views on suf frage and the “new freedom.” What- It Her Mind Beyond the!

I know you recommended that they observe the characteristics of the modern man, but surely you don’t think they would stop admiring themselves long enough to do that! I am a commuter and @ pessimistic commuter. My bit- terness against life arises not from the fact that I live in a suburb, but simply because I travel home at night on a train wherein most of my fel- low passengers are women returning from matinees+ or shopping trips. What do all these women talk about? What do they think about? TAem- selves. The woman who wrote the other day about the colossal conceit of the modern man needs to turn her attention to her own sex. Just for your own information listen and con- trast the conversation that occurs between men and the chatter of women to each other. Men talk base- ball, prize fights, politics, business, newspapers. Women, clothes, clothes, clothes, and themselves, Just at the Present time when all their thoughts are concentrated on Easter finery, public ‘conveyances wherein men are trying to read or converse intelli- gently are made intolerable by high-pitched chatter of mummy sleeves, what other fol-de-rol. At the risk of primping before the Lenten Looking Glass by crowding them a bit for a few moments, I must say that I think the greatest defect of the modern woman is her inability to project her mind beyond the narrow circle of her own personal affairs, ever her conversational inadequacy, this Was no chatter of chiffons and sleeves. ‘Women are much less personal im conversation than they were fifty years or so ago. And what is responsible for their greater breadth of mind? The woman's club, which, with all its petty bickerings and fads, has done more for the ental development of Americ: Women than any other single agency of feminine emanci- pation, Perhaps in no single generation in the world's history has there been such a mental gap between the generations of living women as exists to-day, IT IS LIKELY THAT THE MOD.
