The Sixth ward people will not sub
nit to having the scarlet SiSterhood"
located in their midst. ''Of that, there
is manner of doubt" after the meeting
of last night. The DANA hall meeting
did not materialiZa. Not so the one
called for NOrmanna hall. There were
gathered fully 400 men, all of them in
earnest, with one exception. He was
the pseudo husband of well-knOWn
madame" lie didn't have a chance
to do much lobbying.
Jacob Stoft was chosen chairman of
the meeting, Aids. Hunter and Rand
being called TO seats on the platform be-
side him. Stoft was the first speaker.
His protest against the location of the
baWdy houses on Second street, between
Tenth and Eleventh avenues south, was
that of plain business man with the
good of the community at heart. &. a.
Quist read a letter from Mayor Winston,
in which the latter pronounced
as false the statement made
by an evening paper last Friday night
that the proposed removal of the houses
in question TO the Sixth ward was the
product of an agreement" entered into
by the "madames" and the authorities.
That settled that point. and some who
CdlllC III DldlDO lHc ludN vi. VIZ IilC du-
thority of the false statement, remained
to praise his prompt defense and words
of announcement to the Sixth ward
people. e. A. Quist, Lars Sven
son and Luth Jaeger were APP
pointed a committee on resolutions
and retired. While they were out
speeches were made by Ole ByOrum,
Lars Nj. Rand and others. Byorum de-
nounced the Sections for selling proper
tY to Hattie Cole. Rand argued against
the proposed removal on the same lines
as were laid down in the resolutions
afterward adopted. He urged that the
Sixth ward people did not want vice
Haunted in their faces; they do not want
their property values deprecated; they
do not want their best business
streets encroached upon by houses of
Ill-fame, as would be the result in
case of removal; they do not want their
wives and daughters compelled TO
elbow, on the street and in the stores,
the deVOteeS to life of shame. ONe
point which he laid stress upon was
that Sixth ward people are not of the
class which supports houses of ill-fame,
and, therefore. should not be afflicted
with their presence. At the close of
his speech, Luth Jaeger read the follow
ing resolutions, which were unani-
m0usly adopted:
Whereas 1t has come to our knowledge
that the houses Of i'll fame now located on
First street contemplate removal and intend
to locate on second street, between Tenth
and Twelfth avenues south; and.
Whereas. Said location is adjacent to Wash
ington avenue. public thOrOughfare where
numbers of men and women pass daily;
and,
Whereas, SAID location is close to and ad-
joining a public market Site where tnou-
sands of men and women WILL in the near
future, make daily visits; and,
Whereas property in the vicinity OF the
proposed location and in the ward generally
will suffer material decrease in value; and.
Whereas that part of the city known as
the Sixth ward has mole people 10 the square
mile than any other ward in the city, there
fore be il

and vicinity. in mass meeting assembled,
that we earnestly enter and do here protest
against the said houses of lll-fame locating
OH second Street, between Tenth and Twelfth
avenues south, or al any other place within
the borders of the Sixth ward and further
that we consider the presence of houses of
ill-fame in Minneapolis as demoraliZing and
earnestly request the proper authorities TO
consider the social evil, social ed. and that II
be dealt with in such manner as not to in
flict said palaces of sin upon any part of the
city; and be it further
Resolved. That this meeting in passing
these resolutions expresses commence IN the
goodwill and desire of the mayor and the
other public officers to deal with the same in
such way as to reflect credit upon our city,
and prove to be n benefit TO the city; and belt
further
Resolved That copy Of these resolutions
be transmitted to his honor Mayor p. b.
Winston.
A few more remarks were made be-
fore the meeting adjourned. Sven
TurnbIad, publisher of the Svenska
Americana Poster, suggested that,if the
Objectionable houses were allowed to
come to the Sixth ward after this pro-
test, it would be a cOmmendable under
taking to gather 1900 or 5000 men and
drive the fallen women from the city by
force. He volunteered to become one
to such party.
