Girls Warned From Streets.

Elwood, June 13.—Asserting that many girls here, twelve to fourteen years old, are already entering the ranks of "street walkers,” the police, acting as missionaries, have; talked to 20 girls who were quietly asked to step into the station, where they were warned in a fatherly manner by the superintendent of the danger into which their actions are leading them. Mayor Brumbaugh has written personal letters to many parents asking that their daughters be kept off the streets at night and the professional "walkers” are to be prosecuted at the earliest opportunity. Several ministers have personally commended the administration upon the steps being taken.
