VICE COMMISSION PRESENT REPORT Depth of the Social Evil is , Exposed by the Rbckfeller Investigators. (National News Association) NEW YORK. May 20. White slavery and prostitution in the city of New York are firmly established upon

a commecial basis and those engaged in the purchase and sale of women are thoroughly organized, according to the report of George J. Kneeland, of the bureau of social hygiene, of which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is chairman, made public here today and soon to be published fn book form. Investigators of the bureau of Bocial hygiene found that an immoral life was not often the alternative of starvation. 8 hey t.id learn, however, that the great preponderance of women leading the lives of prostitutes came from the ranks of those engaged in unskilled occupations. Hundreds of immoral resorts of every character were investigated and hundreds of prostitutes and proprietors of illegal resorts were interviewed by the investigators. It is the estimate of Mr. Kneeland that there are not less than 15,000 women engaged in prostitution in the city of New York, a very conservative estimate. The number of men who meet these women every day exceeds 150,000. The bureau of social hygiene grew out of the white slave grand jury Investigation of 1907. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was chairman of that grand jury, which reported that no evidence NERVOUS PROSTRATION Severe Case of a Philadelphia Woman Her Symptoms. Philadelphia, Pa.

of organized vice could be found. The bureau of social hygiene, however found plenty of evidence of the organization of those engaged in procuring women and those engaged In selling them. "Commercialized Prostitution in New York City," Is the title of Mr. Kneeland's work. It is the first of a series of publication to be issued by the bureau of social hygiene, each one of which is to describe vice conditions as they exist to New York city and elsewhere. The tabulation of immoral women by the bureau shows that 6.759 were found in the streets, where they plied their trade, and 8,167 were found in

houses of ill fame, tenements, massage parlors, hotels, saloons, concert halls, etc. In the opinion of Mr. Kneeland, based on very reliable reports, fully ninety per cent of the women leading immoral lives are diseased. Startling facts, showing the manner in which these people of the underworld are organized, are given in the report. Men who procure young girls, men who act as "lighthouses" for evil resorts, standing before the door to usher in guests and to give warning at the approach of the enemy; men who own business houses of prostitu tion men who rent their property for immoral purposes, and men who "drum up trade" for their immoral employers are described. It is very evident that men play no small part in the vice trade. They seem to be the real owners of most of the evil resorts. One man is known as the "king," and is the owner of eleven houses of ill fame. Regarding the men engaged in the terrible business, Mr. Kneeland says: "Most of them have been engaged all their lives in the seduction and exploitation of women. Their tracks are followed through Argentine, Brazil, Cuba, Canada, Alaska and the large cities of our own country San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Denver, Butte, Omaha, St. Louis, Chicago, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and finally they realize their hopes in New York city. Here they have made a center and from this center they go back over the old trail from time to time." In making his investigations Mr. j Kneeland did not confine himself to New York. With a trained body of social investigators and detectives he probed into the underworlds of Chicago, Philadelphia and Syracuse. Subsequent reports will deal with these cities and with other parts of New York city. The report just made deals only with Manhattan. From the report by Mr. Kneeland it is evident that not only those actually engaged in vice as a business are banded together, but that the proprietors of establishments sue has saloons, concert halls, a certain class of caberet shows, dance halls, burlesque theaters, amusement parks and excurson boats make an open business in catering to vice.

REQUEST MADE FOR INCREASE IN SALARY

Jessup Declares That Members of City Board of Education Should Be Paid Higher Salaries. (Continued from Page One) ston, president of the board, expires August 1. Members of council called attention to the fact that the school tax has more than doubled in nine years. In 1904 the school tax was 41 cents, while the present rate is 95 cents. The increase was justified, according to members of council, who stated that the efficiency of the school has advanced In proportion to the tax. "Unjustly Accused." Gormon. Chief of Police Gormon spoke to the council regarding speed law violators. He declared that the West Side Improvement association had scored him unjustly and had accused him of neglect of duty in the case of the injury of Paul Heironimus, son of N. C Heironimus, principal of Garfield school. Mr. Gormon asked that the members of council help him and the police force in the important duty of seeing that the laws of the state and city are obeyed. He told the members what he had done in the attempt to apprehend the men who had struck the boy. Members of council commended him on his diligence on the affair and promised help in every way. "It is impossible to enforce the laws on the speed of automobiles," stated Mr. Gormon. "Among the speeders wo have West Richmond Quakers, city officials and others who are prominent. The speed of automobiles will never be regulated, and there will always be complaints until every one has an auto in which he can speed, too. "In other cities, no attempt is made to fine automobilists who exceed the speed limit. The general law which is accepted is to allow the machines to run at whatever speed is safe. In Detroit automobile owners are allowed to drive at practically whatever speed they desire. The citizens want to make the city an automobile center and to show off the beauties of the place. There are no more accidents there in proportion than in this city. "As far as the unjust accusations of Prof. Heironimus are concerned, I can do nothing more than explain to council what action I took at the time, and I will let the members be the judges in the case. I will give $10 out of my own pocket to any one who can furnish, me information which will be influential in capturing the persons who struck Paul Heironimus." The new state law which comes into effect July 1, provides a speed of ten miles an hour in congested districts, and six miles an hour when turning at street corners. Mayor Zimmerman stated that the only way in which to secure satisfaction in enforcing speed laws is to require chauffeurs to fur - nish bonds of $1,000. An ordinance requiring street cars to stop when a fire alarm is sounded, will be brought up at the next meeting. Other ordinance regulating street car traffic in the city will also come up.

Councilman Williams asked members of the board of works what was done with a petition presented last year, asking for a sidewalk improvement on South D street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. He claimed that no action was taken on the petition, and that it was thrown aside. Members of the board claim that the petition was not purposely ! cast out, and that it will be looked after. Complaint was also made about the dangerous, condition of the South H street crossing of the C. & O. railroad. Residents of South Richmond want a watchman or an alarm bell placed at the crossing.

"And it isn't at all 'strange in our estimation that 99 out of every hundred farmers will agree on wiat constitutes a good Cultivator. "You all see it in your minds eye just the same; the mechanical details may be a little indistinct but you know if you pull this lever H does this; and if you lower that lever It does that your ideal machine is always under control i s to depth ; It's easy to operate because the labor is put on the team; it Is easy on the team, because there's a jigger here or a contrivance there that prevents pole slashing and It is perfectly balanced for light draft. "And so we could go era with a lot more thing3 your ideal cultivator would do just as they have come into your mind when between wrestling with some machine that won't work perfectly you think it out coming back from the end of your field. "Every Riding Cultivator of the Janesvllle Line is provided with large shields, adjustable by a handy hook and chain, within easy reach of the driver.
