Report of Police Chief to the Great Social Student Shows This.

SPECULATES ON CONDITION ESTIMATED FIGURES SHOWING CONDITIONS IN RICHMOND BY DR. EMORY LANPHEAR SHOWS CITY TO BE BAD. Chief Bailey, of the police department has received a letter from Dr. . Emory Lanphear of St. Louis, one of the best known authorities on social questions in America, asking him to submit a report on the social evils existing In this city. This report will be embodied In an essay which Dr. Lanphear will deliver before the Tri-State Medical society of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. His letter to the Chief reads as follows: "I am preparing an exhaustive essay upon "The Social Evil in American Cities," for presentation to the Tri-State Medical society of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. The chief of police of Detroit reports that in his city there are approximately R.V) houses of 111 fame, containing about 3,250 girls, with an additional 2,170 women of loose character. Upon the came basis of computation Richmond should give figures on the enclosed sheet. Please ma'.te any corrections you may think proper and return paper to me.' Estimate Astonishing. The estimate of Immorality existing In this city as made by Dr. Lan phear Is a most astonishing one to those who are acquainted with the j fact that less social evil exists in j Richmond than In any other city of its ; size In the middle west. Dr. Lanphear's estimate of the social evil in this city Is as follows: Estimated population 25,000 'Number houses of ill fame ... 70 Number public prostitutes 270 Number loose women 230 Total number of Immoral women 500 ' Dr. Lanphear will be greatly astonished, no doubt, when he receives Chief Bailey's report as it will show that there is not one house of ill fame In the city and that the total of Immoral women will probably not exceed one hundred. This estimate is a most liberal one, and was made after Chief Bailey had consulted with Prosecutor Jessup, Judge Converse, patrolmen and police reporters. Chief Bailey was of the opinion that, there were not more than fifty women of loose character in the city but after investigation he decided to report that there were not more than one hundred. Even In the days when Richmond was considered one oi the "wide open" towns in the state there was never more than one-eighth the num-' ber of houses of 111 fame estimated by Dr. Lanphear. About four or five years ago a moral crusade was inaugurated In this city and as a result all houses of 111 fame were closed. Since that time none have been permitted to operate here. Hotels of shady reputation have also been suppressed. Just a few months ago the only hotel in this city bearing such a reputation . was raided and the proprietor was fined. The majority of people contend that the moral cleansing of Richmond has been of great benefit to the citizens. Others contend that the "tight lid" lias had the effect of increasing the number of Immoral women on the streets and of encouraging sexual crimes which have been quite noticeable the past few months. Juit a Fish Siory. Forty years ago, when my father was captain of an Kast India trading ship, while oil the coast of Africa near the equator the ship's carpenter was taken pick and died. lie was sewed up in canTas, and with hini were sewed his kit of tools and grindstone for ballast to sink him. Services were held and the body committed to the sea. Four days later the ship's boy fell overboard, and a great shark came up under the stern und swallowed the boy before he could be reached. The next day the shark was still following the ship. A shark hook was baited and put over the stern, and the shark was caught, but was so large it could not be taken on board, and they were obliged to shoot him. lie looked so plump and large the mate, who was an old whaler, wanted to go over the , side and cut the fish open. He was lowered over and cut a hole In the shark and was surprised to hear voices and on looking In saw the ship's boy turning the grindstone for the ship's carpenter, who was sharpening his ax to cut their way out. My father, who Is eighty years old. can vouch for this that it is a fish story. Boston Journal. His Old College Chums. A conductor sent a new brakeman to put some tramps off the train. They were riding In a box car. The brakeman dropped Into the car and said. "Where are you fellows going?' "To Atchison." "Well, you can't go to Atchison on this train, so get off." "You get." came the reply, and as the brakeman was looking Into the business end of a gun he took the advice given him nnd "got." He went back to the caboose, and the conductor asked him if he had put the fellows off "No," he answered. "1 did not have the heart to put them oft. They want to go to Atchison, and. besides, the? are old schoolmates of mine." The conductor used some very strong language and then said be would put them off himself. He went over to the car and met with the same experience as the brakeman. When he got back to the caboose, the brakeman said. "Well, aid you put them off?" "Naw, they're schoolmates of mine too' Wellington J2tK- v

Not Much Interest Being Taken at Present.

Members of the tennis tournaments that are being held at the public school play grounds, will have to get busy and bein playing the matches that are scheduled and have them finished before the end of the month. There are several players in the Senior Singles tournament who have made no effort to play off their matches and Prof. Heironimus stated this morning that the tournaments would have to be finished before August, or Tom Campbell, who has defeated all opponents, will be declared champion. As to whether or not he will be allowed to claim this honor without working for it remains for Anderson, Wiggens and O. Harrington to decide. WHO WILL WIN? NATIONAL LEAGUE.

It may not be generally known la what circumstances ITalevy owed his advancement in the French civil service to the Due de Morny. The duke, an amateur of the arts, had begun to write the libretto of a comic opera of which Offenbach was to provide the music. He found that he had not the time or perhaps thfit he had not the talent to finish It. Ilje sought a collaborator, and Halevy came to the rescue and kept his secret. When, therefore, the office of the ministry of Algeria, which he held, was suppressed he had no hesitation In asking his august patron for the post which he sought on the Journal Officiel. "The very thing!" exclaimed the duke. "There Is six months' vacation when the chamber is not sitting, so that you will have plenty of time to write for the stage." And he gave him a note to the head of the department, consisting of the simple words, "Make arrangements to give the bearer the post for which he will ask you." Westminster Gazette.

ALIA REVENGEFUL EVEN UNTO DEATH Murderer of Colorado Priest Goes on Scaffold Abusing Priesthood. HE FELT NO SORROW. SAYS MEMBER OF CLERGY WHOM HE SLAYED WAS THE RIGHT ONE AND THE MAN WHO BROKE UP HIS FAMILY. Canyon City, Colo., July 16. Calling down maledictions upon the Roman priesthood and shouting in Italian "Long live Italy," "Long live the Protestants," Guiseppo Alia, the murderer of Father Leo Helnrlchs, was carried to the death trap and exactly at 8:30 o'clock last night paid the extreme penalty for his crime. Perhaps a more sensational and thrilling scene was never beheld by any of the sixteen persons present, than the execution of the Italian murderer, whose cries and screams were only hushed by the automatic springing of the mechanism, which forever silenced the tongue that cried for ven geance against those whom Alia had declared the destroyers of his home and happiness. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Warden Cleghorn of the State Penitentiary, through his Interpreter. Antonio Sasso, a prison guard, read the death warrant to Alia. Contrary to expectations the prisoner exhibited -no emotion and when the reading was finlshred, said: "All right, I am ready to die now." At 6 o'clock supper was served to (he prisoner. Before eating he divided it into five portions, saying one was for his wifo, one for himself and one each for his three children. He then i ate with apparent composure and relish. Alia Feels No Sorrow. At 7 o'clock Guard Sasso came to him with the information that within one hour the execution would take place. Alia again said he was ready at any time. He further said he felt no sorrow whatever for having killed Father Leo. He was certain Father Leo was the man he had been searching for for many months, and declared he had recognized the priest by a scar on the side of his face. Alia said he had worked for Father Leo in Por tugal and was sure he had killed the right man. Alia said he did not be lieve there was a God, for if so he would not have been permitted to be in his present predicament. He said he found no fault with the law, but that the priest did wrong in breaking up his family. At S:30 o'clock, everything being in readiness, the warden's assistants approached Alia's cell and led the condemned man to the gallows, where the black cap and noose were adjusted by the deputy warden. During this procedure Alia became frantic and shouted, "Long live Italy! Long live the Protestants!" Alia was placed upon the trap, Chaplain Blake of the prison uttered a short prayer, the dripping water of the automatic mechanism released the great weight and at exactly 8:30 the body was jerked into the air. Unfortunately Alia's neck was not broken, owing to the slipping of the rope and he died of strangulation. After nineteen minutes Alia's body was cut down and he was pronounced dead.
