graces the back "parlor." There are six
rooms in the rear of the room in which
IS situated the bar. There are rooms up
stairs. The rooms in the rear of the first
floor are used about on the principle OF
booths. A few weeks ago, Superintend-
ent Smith visited this place. In the back
room sat half q dozen women whose
presence In the police court had occa-
stoned their classification as among the
lowest of creatures. All the privileges
they want are extended to Them in this
hole. They can do anything and they do
everything they please. The residents
complained of he midnight or
gles. but the police never ralUed the
place. The Superlntendant's appearance
was surprise to the hangers on. The
half dozen women spoken of occupied
the rear room. One of their number sat
at the piano playing "Tarara -boon-de-re"
while another sang O number of the most
disgusting verses one can imagine. Their
friends sat about a table with their feet
cooked up on a table smoking cigarettes.
superintendent Smith cleared that place
in about two minutes, and warned the
proprietor that a repetition Of such a per-
formance would result in the suppress
sion of his place and the revoking of his
license. 1t is matter of record that one
Jessie -. bright fifteen-year-old girl
met her ruin in this house of assignation.
The girl became infatuated with the
loathsome amusement the Saturday night
chippies from neighboring hall fur
nished. Instances are known where this
girl called for whiskey to drink. A dis
guSting scene followed. Subsequently
she was carried home or to house of i'll
repuIe in Hudson street. Other instances
are known where high Kicking has been
the amusement. The whole truth cannot
be told about these dens.
Superintendent Smith was instrumep-
tai in finally securing the removal TO the
Reform School Of the girl spoken Of
Another girl, who at one time earned a
livelihood by teaching music, was in
veigled into this den. Her downfall was
rapid. Her ruin and degradation caused
ber mothers death. The girl was not
permitted to see her mother as she lay
cold in death in her casket. Since that
time she has sunk lower and lower, until
today she is a character we'll known in
police circles. The downfall of these Two
girls are but instances of what women,
who are lured into these dens, come to.
Ribald songs and obscene language
characterize the place. This den is
doomed, as the Superintendent intends
placing policeman on duty at the door.
Up to a few weeks ago. Superintendent
Smith was not aware of the presence of
such a number of these dens in the heart
of the city. Now that he knows of their
location he will leave no stone unturned
until he has succeeded in having the sa-
looms run in an orderly manner or their
licenses revoked.

follows:
Mclean met Abbott in the Abbott house bar

Mclean said:

Before those IN the barroon had time 10 go
