There have Eeen whisperlngs of such
a movement since midwinter and at one
time, about Jan. !. there was an at
tempt on the part of q number of ladies
connected with charitable and correc-

This fell through and the movement
sumbered until the present week, when
another meeting was held and O. COM
mittee of resolute women agreed to be-
gin the crusade.
Yesterday the first step was taken.
The committee of ladies at the head of
the undertaking called on Alderman
John r. Howe, of the Seventeenth ward
and indicated that his services would
be IN demand in the course of a few
days. The alderman assured them that
he could be relied upon TO do his whole
duty, and invited them to bring on their
information.
The crusaders left after stating that
they would return before many days In
company with their attorney. Who
the attorney Is they did not dlvulge.
