LET THEM KNOW
Chicago, July !)—Making public
the names of owners of property
used for immoral purposes has been
the most effective method of fight
ing commercialized prostitution in
Chicago, according to the report
m i le today by Superintendent S. P.
Thrasher of the "Committee of Fif
teen," that has been waging war on
immoral resorts.
"It is admitted by all who are
la a position to know that tthe old
vice district on the south side is
practically closed," atid Thrasher's
report. "It -would be folly to say
that vice has been obliterated, but
some of tthe most notorious resorts
are included in tbe 450 houses of il'«
fame, assignation and disorderly
saloons which have been put out of
business iu the last yt«r.
"l:i these 450 houses of ill-fame,
there were, according to conserva
tive ■ s-.: mates, 2,000 professional
pros utiles, an average of five per
house.
"A conservative estimate as to j
the t-ross income would be $10
1 ■ r day per woman, which would j
S i" a > .'tljOOO daily or the snug sum
of $7,3i)i»,0o0 in a single year. I j
have m"' hesitancy in saying that at
least SO per cent of this amount was
■aid to about 1,500 keepers, run
ners. pimps and panderers, the
r-i ile exploiters of these women. No
wonder that the vice interests are
in . panic when several millions of
dollars have been taken away from
them bv this committee.
"The chief -weapon used In this
warfare has been publicity. The
publishing of the names of the own
ers of real estate In connection with
the keepers of immoral resorts has
had four-fold effect; it lias made
It much harder fcr keepers of im
moral resorts to find safe abiding
places; It has stimulated the ad
ministration and the police depart
ment to greater activity aud t
has thrown the vice iutorests into
a panic.
"I am well aware of the state
ments beiug industriously circulat
ed to the effect that the breaking
up of the vice district is sending
prostitutes into respectable neigh
borhoods.
"That is not true to any such ex
tent as is generally believed. That
many professional prostitutes have
taken up their abode in residential
districts is true, but it is also true
that the district they left is large
ly residential and ths pity of it is
that residents of ihr.t district are
poor and unable to protect them
selves against an -entrenched sys
tem of vice which has been more or
less officially established and main
tained.
"The more well-to-do and respect
able a neighborhood is, the better
equipped it is to prevent inroads
of vice.
"But is must be apparent that
no such villainous system of prosti
tution can be practiced in any resi
dential district as was in vogue In
the red light district where from
10 to 100 women were plying their
trade under one roof."
A party composed of the follow
ing Deople came in from the Weal

day. They have been making a

now here. It vas he who, in the
early days of the Klondike rush,
built the tramway around Miles
canyon and the Whiteliorse rapids
for the transportation of passen- j

About two months ago Macaulay

White river to Dawson in a small

From the nature of the shipment
