the new anti-poolselling ordinance, as
resumed before Judge Mogan in Police

Children Of adj ages are admitted and
may for "a 5-cent piece be debased as
they could not be perhaps in any other
public place in the city. If one enjoys
the confidence of Bacigalupi that
worthy will condescend to place in his
phonograph dialogues and songs that
are shocking IN their immortality and
gross, indecent suggestion. Bacigalupi
has plentiful store of such things,
but they, are reserved for the delecta-
tion of select patrons. The owner has
become a notorious panderer to the
young and the vicious and he offers his
wares with a single thought Ct what
shall be the best profit.
At S48 Market street is another es-
tablishment similar in character to that
conducted by Bacigalupi. This concern
is operated by NJ. HOLMAN, a cigar
dealer. The place is thoroughly open
to the public It's suggestive, indecent
pictures and moving scenes are free

Boys and girls are daily corrupted in

There has never been in this city
perhaps so fragrant an outrage upon
public decency as these establishments
offer, yet the authorities. with every
warrant to act, are inactive. The Su-
pervisors have adopted laws to sup
press this immoral traffic but the laws
are imperative. There are at least
four municipal ordinances that make

for outrageous scenes, and then the
vile presentations are offered for the
inspection of the boys and girls of the
city. Loafers are hired to sing ribald
songs into phonograph and the de-
bauching sounds are sold into the lis
tening ears of children.
The corporation that controls the in
dustry in this city is wealthy and pow

are as follows: c. M. Koolsaac. S.

Peter Bacigalupi, H. Green and j.

These boys stood before a "nluto-
scope" above which was the alluring
sign for men only" The elder of the
two had dropped a nickel into the ma
chine and, quickly grasping his young
e- and smaller companion, he lifted
him until the little fellows eyes could
follow the moving scenes that infamed
his Imagination with corrupting
thought. The incident meant q profit
of cents to the proprietor Of the place
and lasting lesson in immortality to
the child
This evil has worked aninsidious pro-
gress in the city for many months. The
police, with customary ignorance. do
not know of it's existence. The local
society whose aim it is to suppress
vice, at least in its open expression, is
blind to the fact that decent men and
women are affTonted by the glaring
advertisement of indecent show shops
and that children are corrupted by
sights and sounds which are f1aunted
on the main thoroughfare of the city.
Protest after protest has been made
against these establishments, but no
material result has followed complaint.
The "phonograph parlor" has become a
recognized and legitimate business in
dustry in the city. For some reason
best known to those who are financial
ly interested the police are deaf, dumb
and blind to the existence and the char
acter Of these places. In this city the
phonograph and the "vitascope" have
become instruments of the grossest i'm
morality. On Market street, between
Mason and Kearny, establishments are
conducted to debase the minds and
morals Of children, to outrage the de-
cency of reputable men and women and
TO pander to the lowest and vilest as
pirations Of the debased.
A powerful corporation is the feeder
for these places, and municipal toIera-
tion is the right by which they exist.
Their location needs, perhaps, no de-
scription for the people of the city who
are affronted by them daily in sight
and hearing. For the benefit of the DO
lice and for the officers of the local So
ciety, whose aim is to suppress vice, it
should be stated that the head and
front of the evil is located in the es-
tablishment of Peter Bacigalupi at 1880
Market street. Bacigalupi is the pio-
neer in Photographic filth and through
him the other local retail sellers of this
commodity receive their supplies.
The evil has grown to such dimen-
sions that plain statement of its char
acter has become a public duty. A de-
scription Of the establishment of Baci-
galupi will illustrate thoroughly the
character of every other ''phonograph
parlor" in the city. In this indecent
show shop at 1880 Market street there
are monographs, "vitascopes. f" "muto-
scopes" "artoscopes" and electrical ap-
pliances of many sorts. An unmusical
phonograph with horn attachment as

Assistant Weighers Thomas J. Sharkey
from duty yesterday by request of Spe-
cial Agents Linck and Smith, who are in
vestigating the charges of drunkenness
and absence from duty which have been
preferred against them and against
Weigher Rhodes, who was suspended on
the preceding day. 1t came to the knowl-
edge of the special agents that Rhodes,
Sharkey and Quint had been attempting
to intimidate witnesses by threatening to
have similar charges of drunkenness pre-
ferred against them if they should testify
against the accused
The accusations against the three men
are serious, and the evidence taken thus
far indicates that those charges are well
founded IntoXication seems to have
been regarded one of the virtues of
the Weighers department, the three ac-
cused men being the most conspicuous
examples of dereliction of duty. Evidence
against Rhodes is accomplishing, and the
fact that he has been a persistent bor-
rover of money from fellow laborers in
getter of financial obligations when pay
day came around, has also been brought
up.
The special agents say that they are
determined to probe the matter to the
bottom, and to uncover irregularities of
conduct not only in the weighers' but in
every other department in the Custom
House if it should require three years
to accomplish the work. They invite in
formation as to irregularities and will
hold all such information as confiden-
tial. All that is necessary is to push the
button and the agents will do the rest.
