ent inmates Of this house. They in
cluded Mrs. Bowman. alias Ruby
Grant; Maude Woods, Carrie Johnson
and Bertha Jackson. all Of whom are
known to the police to be notorious
street walkers.
Jim Turner was the next witness. He
stated he was waiter in the Royal Oak
restaurant. That he went some weeks
ago and rented room from Vandeven-
ter for Kittie Turner for the purpose of
allowing her to carry on her calling. He
Informed the proprietor of Kittie's repu-
tation, but he did not object to her. He
related a number OF disgraceful acts he
had witnessed by other inmates of the
place, and said it was known as an as
signation house. He admitted that he
occasionally lived with the woman who
had just preceded him on the stand.
A young man named Avis then fol-
lowed, and gave some very damaging
evidence against the defendant. He
gave his occupation as hack driver,
and said he knew the occupants Of the
house were everything except church
members. Much of his testimony would
not permit of publication, particularly
that which he gave in describing what
he had seen and experienced there.
Other witnesses were called, and their
testimony went to show that the place
was notorious, and housed everal wo-
men and the men who lived off their
earnings.
The prosecution then closed their
case. and the attorneys for the defense
proceeded.
Mrs. Maud Woods, as she gave her
name, was the first witness. She stated
that she occupied room No. Is at the
Belleville, and that during her stay
there she never observed anything out
of the way. According to her version,
purity and righteousness pervaded the
Belleville continually. However, imme-
diately after court adjourned last even
ing the Woods woman and Carrie john
son, occupant of room Of the same
building, were arrested and placed In
Jail, charged with vagrancy.
Ten others took the stand for the de-
fense, most of whom We're character
witnesses.
About o'clock court adjourned until
next Wednesday at a. m.

Fate of the County Re-
funding Bonds
THE CITY AND COUNTY VOTE
REFUNDING PROPOSITION NOT
ACCEPTABLE TO VOTERS
The City Gives Small Majority, But
the Country Precincts Let the
Scheme Down Hard

Although the returns are as yet incom-
plete, there is no doubt that the county
refunding bond proposition upon which
the voters yesterday passed their de-
cision has gone by the board and been
defeated by a good majority. In the
nine wards of the city the total vote cast
was but 1890, of which 500 were for and
331 against the bonds, or few moro
than the required majority.
1t was in the country districts that the
bonds lost their grip and fell down hard.
In eleven districts heard from, 1194 votes
had been cast, of which Alb We're for and
721 against. The total vote Of city and
county SO far as heard from, is, there
fore, 2224. There We're 1172 votes in fa-
vor of and 1862 against the proposition,
which effectually kills 1t by lack Of over
700 votes. There are yet seven districts
in the county to be heard from, but there
is little doubt that the majority against
will be increased rather than diminished.
The tabuiated returns follow:

TURN 'EM OUT
Dis0rderIy Women in the
Business Blocks
RAID MADE THIS MORNING
THE VANDEVENTER CASE IN
THE POLICE COURT
The Police Determined to Drive the
Prostitutes Out of the Bust-
ness Quarter

Shortly after o'clock this morning
the Waverly lodging house at No. 1877
East Third street was raided by Police
Officers Lehnhausen, German and Nc
Graw, accompanied by Sergeant Smith.
-Four women of easy virtue and one Of
to the city prison, where they were
booked for vagrancy.
This lodging house has for some time
been a rendezvous for people of ques-
tionable character, and such pandemo-
mum has frequently been raised there
at all hours that much complaint has
been made to the police department.
Acting under orders from Chief of Po-
lice Glass, the officers carefully planned
their raid and We're successful in Sc
curing several notorious women, but
were disappointed in not finding the
men, who do nothing but live off the
earnings of the fallen women.
| Maud Thompson, one of the girls ap-
pretended at the Waverly, and Billy
White, who was with her at the time,
are both witnesses in the Crandall mur-
der case.
During the past three months these
women have scattered to an alarming
extent throughout the city. Complaints
have been pouring in recently to Chief
Glass, and he decided to exercise every
effort to prevent further spread of this
nuisance. He proposes to have every
suspicious character of both sexes ar
rested for vagrancy.
At 1890 o'clock officer McGraw arrest
ed two girls for soliciting on the street.
They We're booked at the police station
as Flossie Jordan and Lutte Thompson
These girls are sisters, aged II and Il
years, whose parents are said to be re-
spectacle people residing in neighbor-
ing city. They reside at 217 South Main
street and two men, who are known as
Billy Thompson, waiter, and VIII Jor-
dan barber, live with them and take
most of their earnings. The police claim
that these two men would have been ar
rested long ago for vagrancy, but they
work at trade about day during each
week in order that they cannot be classet
as common vagrants.
TWELVE GATHERED IN
At $3.50 o'clock this morning the Off
GERS visited a lodging house at 2lO East
Third street and arrested two women
A short time afterwards two more were
gathered in at No. 304 South Los Angeles
street. All were arrested on warrants
This makes a total of twelve women ar
rested for vagrancy since $50 O'Clock
last night, principally by Officers Lehn-
hansen and German. The officers were
still at work up to the time of going to
press, and expected to visit three more
houses before daybreak. They have
been somewhat disappointed in their
roundup in not catching the macs
at the same time. but it is thought they
must have received a tip of the raid and
made themselves scarce.
