pressing upon the initiates that thte was to take place immediately. Captain Smock said that there watnot tne least bit of trouble and that all those who did not own their^ own property seemed ready to go. in fact, within a very few minutes after the order was Issued, many of the residents of the district started to go.

AH In a Flurry.

When, the order became generally known thd district became a busy place, men and women making plans for immediate departure. Taxis wer' called, trunks and suit cases packed, and the Journey to "other parts" begun. The streets of the "red light" wei'e almost deserted late in the evening, and tha- bouses were closed tip and darkened. In many instances every inmate had left frnd the houses were absolutely empty.

Late In the afternoon the collectors made a rush to the district, but in many instanoes found that they were too late and that the creditors had departed. It was, reported at the railroad station' that 42 -..trunks had been checked "ifd\'AkVdn» 6., all "by women of- the district. Many of the hotels and road houses of this city will also be, effected, by the order and it. was reported that they, were taking no chances on runnings counter to federal orders.

Over fhe River, Atso.

The orders requiring all houses of ill repute, within a radius of five miles of a military camp to be vacated, were Issued by the board shortly after 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, and became effective at once. Captain Smock, acting as chief in the absence of Sil Etoyle, Capt. Berry and Patrolman Haley immediately, started to enforce the order.

The officers fli-st wetit through the district in the jlty, then visited the saloons on the west side of the river, and then went to i the road house north of the city. Stopping at each place frequented by womeii of the west end. the order of the board was read, the Inmates informed that it was In effect and that they must get outside of thq flve-mlle limit at once.

That the order was obeyed Immediately can be seen from the statement made by Captain Smock, who said: "After visiting the road house we made another trip through the west end and the place looked like a graveyard."

Tie Final, Saye Mancourt. Acting Mayor Mancourt said Friday morning: "The new orders will be enforced to the letter and there will be no side-stepping it.. The officers have reported that everything is in a satisfactory condition and It will remain this way. The moving of the military ^camps will not make the order void. It will be in force until it is repealed."

Cai'tain Smock said that In some instances people said that they owned the property and asked to be allowed to stay, but were told that no prostitutee would be allowed within a radius of flvo miles of the army camps and that they might Just as well get out.

Acting Sffayor Mancourt says that the new order is to be enforced and Captain Smock says that he and his men will enforce it. The women effected by the order seem to realize this and there was no trouble. Clothing and personal property were packed quietly and the people left town on every* train, all going as soon as possible.

All Is Desolation.

Rxcepting for a few groups of men and occasionally a woman standing on the street talking, the red light district was dosolate Friday morning. The only noises were those made by the purring engine of an auto waiting to take a load to a railway station.

The crowds in the saloons were dismal—especially the men behind the bar. However, there was some joking and laughing. The question was asked frequently: "How long they would be closed?" There were various answers. Some said that the array camps would be removed from Terre Hlauw within a few days and then the houses could open again. Others took a decidedly different view.

Where are all the red light people going, was discussed. It was said that some wew going to Chicago, others to

The Economic 8fcf«.

The Americans have become very popular through their simple open manners and kindly attention, which has won grown persons as well as children. The villagers could not have showed more feeling if they had been burying their own.

Some Fire Works.

Attorney Blankenbaker for Denning declared that gambling was going pellmell in Terre Haute and that "poor, crippled Charlie Denning" had been singled out on a charge of operating a sl,©t machine.. He declared the Offense would prove that Pogue had been hired to come to Terre Haute to file affidavits against Denning. He further declared the affidavit against Denning was illegal sine* it was flied July 18th and waa not approved by prosecutor until August 8th. He declared Denning had no knowledge of any clot machine being In his place and if such existed, "the old man" waa not responsible for it.

During the cross examination of Pogue by Attorney Whitlock, the latter became "rambunctious" in trying to discredit Pogue'» testimony. Judg« Stlmson objected to Vfhltlock's method and declared that Pogue had come to Terre Haute "as a responsible man," whereupon Whitlock louncheB into a tirade on the judge declaring the latter was "trying to put his statement over to the jury in order to Influence th" members" to convict Denning. Judg«* Stim.snn objected to the tongue lashing and ringer shaking under his nose by Whitlpck and threatened to fine the attorney $50 and aond him to jail if he repeated the "offense." Earlier In the case, the judge had threatened to have Blankenbaker ousted.

What the Police Saw.
