1t was learned at the police station
last night that there was no truth in
the statement that the commissioners
and BIZ Tiger had ordered each police
man 10 carry a stomach pump for the
purpose Of Selling the liquor in men

all. In fact. there is minority OF the

WHO Is TO BE JUDGE.
Ukase Issued by Gar Campbell and Com
miss. Oners Exiling Certain Women

The police are in a terrible stew over
the new order issued by The police COM
mlssionerS to drive every woman OF
shady reputation out of the city. The
poor policemen do not want 10 lose
their precious official heads and still
they don't care to brace up against
every woman they meet and suspect
and tell her to get out of town. 1t is
hard job and they don't like il. OF
course there are some women whose
reputation is SO shady that the police
cannot make a mistake, such as the
beauties down on Fourth avenue. and
they have already told these to gather
up their buds and vamose. The result
is that there is an exodus from Fourth
avenue, but not out of town. These
same women are finding places Of ref
uge in other parts of the city, seeking
employment even in families where
they think they can live incognito I'M
I'll the moral cyclone blows over. The
police know this. and of course, they
must turn their eyes away from ii. A
policeman tells certain woman to go
and she says she will. The next day
he goes to the abode and she is not
there. He then reports that she has
gone. That is all there is to ii.
One good hearted policeman talking
with reporter for the Eagle
last night said: Il don't like this bus
witches and hunting slaves with blood
hounds. Besides. | do not think it is
legal and the commissioners are as
much law breakers as other fellows
when they say drive them out Of town
[ know there is no law by which you
can drive anybody out of town by in
timidation or in any other manner.
The result of il all will he bad work.
If the smallpox struck the town the
first thing a sen SiDle people would do
would be to prevent its spread. 1t is
the same way with vice. The result
Of the new order Will be to scatter the
vicious all over the town and there is
no doubt in my mind but there viii he
a spread of the very thing they want
10 eradicate. Some of these people will
seek employment in homes into which
they will carry poison with them. They
will not seek domestic work for the
purpose Of reforming, but for the pur-
pose of avoiding the police. I tell you
again that this will prove to be bad
business"
in bed for two weeks was ordered to
leave. She actually cannot move out
OF her room and yet she is afraid TO
stay there a day longer for fear OF be-
ing thrown in jail. Besides that she
has no money to leave, even If she was
able physically to go.
Inside OF a week every house of i'll
fame in Wichita viii be closed. The
saloons have been closed, but every
body knows there is more liquor drank
in Wichita now than at any time since
the boom. No people look upon the
new order with more seriousness than
the police and they shake their heads
very ominously when they are asked
to predict the result

WANT TO HELP THEM.
Law and Order People have Determined to
Help the Oaccrs Enforce the Law.

1t seems that the law and order crowd
in Wichita are not satisfied with the
way the law is being enforced and they
have determined to take the whole
business very largely into their own
hands.
\ business man yesterday said he had
received circular letter which was
probably sent TO him through mistake
+. in which great plan was unfolded.
II seems that q secret society is to be
organized having for its object the en-
forcement Of the prohibitory law and
this circular letter exposes the mode by
which II is TO be done.
The OriSinators of this movement do
not intend TO let all the people who have
been induced TO join the Good Citizens
movement in on the ground floor. They
only propose to select such as can be
trusted and the member of that organ
iZation who does not receive one of
these circular letters may know that he
has not been elected.
The plan proposed in this circular let
ter is TO form a secret society whose OBJ
ject will be to furnish evidence to the
officers that will enable them to con-
Wet every jointist in the city.
The letter states that the person to
whom it is addressed has been selected
for a member OF the organizat ton and
he is requested 10 attend a meeting, the
time and place to be revealed TO him af-
ter he signifies his intention of becom-
ing member OF the new organization.
Just how the information desired 70
insure cor victiOn is 10 obtained is not
stated. There only being two methods
in al use il is supposed that they
Will either try 70 work their way into
the joints and clubs and buy liquor or
secret themselves in some secluded
place and report the names Of reputa-
BILE citizens who so into such places as
witnesses.
The organization Will doubtless be
known as the Loyal League or some
other high sounding name. but when
they appear in court the counsel for the
