GIRLS RUINED At Il THEATRE.
The Author OF tho HIddish Plays at tho
windsor Accused.

Moses Horowitz, the author OF a number Of
Yiddish plays. which are produced at the
Windsor Theatre on the Bowery; Gussie Gold
stein, a cafe keeper, of lao Allen street; Nor
ris Levy, proprietor of n saloon at 122 Canal
street, and Sarah Lavinsky, Is years old, Of
so Forsyth street, were charged before Magis-
trate Crane In the Essex Market Police Court
yesterday afternoon with being concerned in
The running of young girls. The specific barge
against Horowitz and Sarah Lav!nsky was alb
duction, while the two other prisoners we're
charged With keeping disorderly places.
Detective Cohen Of the Eldridgc street sta
tion appeared as the complainant. He ar
rested the prisoners on Monday night on the
strength Of statements made by Henry Obs.
baum and Henry Unger. who were until re-
Gently doorkeeper and special officer Of the
Windsor Theatre. The two men told Cohen
that for n number of months the actors and
Others connected with the. Windsor Theatre
had been in the habit OF giving tickets to
young girls in order to get them to so to the
theatre. where they met men. Cohen also
learned that TIorowitz had become intimate
with Lena fredericks. II years old, OF AZ
Henry street, and had taken her to the re-
sorts kept by Gussie Goldstein and Morris
Levy.
The Lavinsky woman became acquainted
with Lena Fredericks about three months ago.
was attending a night school. The Lavins&y
woman had; according to Lena, enticed her
to 20 to the Windsor Theatre, where she had
met men. who had taken her TO the Lavinsky
woman's cafe and there assaulted her. The
Lavinsky woman then took her to Mrs. Gold
steir's cafe in Allen street. where, together
with two other girls, Lena SaltzInan, Is years
old, of : Eldridge street, and Gussie Ref, also
10. OF 40 Eldridge street. she acted in n dis.
orderly manner. The Frcdericks girl suid
that she had given Mrs. Goldste!n one half Of
the money she earned In her place.
llorowitz declares that the charge ia due to
spite on The part OF Obshaum and tnger, who
are trying to get even with him for having
the m discharged from the theatre. For TIE
past two months. he says, the two men have
threatened to send him to Sing Sing. lie de-
MES having been with the Fredertcks girl.
The latter has made no charge against Horo-
witt, nor has she identified him as having
been with her. She told MAGISTRATE Crane
men before she was brought into court. Sh"
admitted that she had first gone astray at the
Windsor Theatre, where, she was ruined by. a
man named Bernstein three months age. The
police are aow looking for Bernstein. Magis-
trate Crane adjourned the case until to-mOr-
row. In order To allow Cohen to procure cor
roborative testimony. He said that the Fred
ericks girls story had not been corroboratcd
as required by law.
Horowitz was released on $500 bail. The
Goldstein and Lavinsky women were held in
default of the necessary bail. Levy was pa
rolled.
The Windsor Theatre produces nothing hut
Hebraic plays. and its patrons are composed
entirely OF Hebrews.

Son of United States Commissioner
Arrested on the Charge.

Arrested on the Charge.
Seattle, Wash. July 20.-Charles A.
Edwards, son of c. A. Edwards, United
States Commissioner in Alaska, and we'll
known in journalistic circles as the former
editor of the Spokane Sunday Sun, has
been arrested on the charge OF compile
ity in n swindle by which the Great North
ern Railway Company has been defrauded
of large sum of money.
A number of trainmen in the employ of
the Great Northern have been dismissed
and will probably be arrested when suffi-
cient evidence against them is obtained.
Edwards plan was to sell tickets at great
ly reduced rates, and in collusion with the
train crews smuggle his passen gers
through In baggage cars.
A number OF conductors also habitually
neglected to punch tickets which they
turned over to Edwards and his associates
to be resold at cheap rates. A bunch of
counterfeit tickets was found among Ed
wards effects, and it is believed that he
operated printing office from which hun
dreds of bogus tickets were turned out.
The railway officials have been work
ing on the case for some time, but the evil
dence gathered is still incomplete, the
arrest OF Edwards, who was about to leave
the country, having precipitated matters.
