POLICE AFTER' EN-
Men Who Live on the Earn
ingS of Fallen Women.
WAR ASBEEND DECLARE
Against Them, and They Will Find
1t Expensive to Continue In
the Business.

Chief of Police Lavelle has declared
war on the private secretary class and
the scalps of several well known tender
loin chappies dangled from his saddle
bow this morning. The police propose
to put a quietus on the operations OF
these men who live upon the earnings
of fallen women. and the justice that is
dealt out to them by Judge sullivan is
of a character that will need strong
financial backing to offstand and may
cause some serious reflection in the
Tenderloin district as to whether the life
of a sport is what it is cracked up to be.
There were three of these men before his
honor this morning. Among them was
Charles White Who has attained some I'M
pleasant notoriety by administering sew
eral severe beatings to his woman. he
entered a. plea Of not guilty and will be
tried FRIDAY afternoon. The same action
was taken in the case Of Simon Bantell,
and both gave bonds for their appear
ance. Charles Smith was the only one
of the three who was willing to admit
his guilt. He was fined $40, and sentence
was suspended 40 hours in order to ALLOW
him time to get out of town.
Emma Gordon pleaded guilty to being
an inmate of a house of p~rOstitution. The
real charge against her was that OF re-
lieving a visitor to her place of IS. The
officers, however, are inclined to believe
that the woman did not commit the rob-
berry, in view of this belief the judge
fined her S..
Frank L. Gray and Agnes Browning
were charged with creating a disturb
ance in the Trilby lodging house. during
which Gray drew a u and made a
demonstration. The Browning woman
pleaded 10 guilty and her case was con-
tinued until Tuesday afternoon. Gray
did not put in appearance and his bond
Of $40 was declared forfeited.
Peter Ingram also failed to materialize
his bond of $40 was forfeited. Ingram
was playing craps at the colored club
last night with Durango Bud and several
others. After he had lost his money he
discovered that he a been victimized
by means of loaded dice. Immediately he
had his habits on" He drew his razor
and made a vicious slash at Durango
Bud. That worthy had anticipated
trouble and was in the act of getting
way and was far enough away from the
steel to prevent serious injury. AS it was
the blade cut through his garments to
the k for a distance of II inches, in
some places penetrating the cuticle suni-
GENTLY to draw blood. This stimulated
his getaway efforts somewhat, and in
a squirt of speed he managed to get out
of the reach of his angry antagonist.
The rules and bylaws of the club forbid
the carrying of razors in the club rooms
and the president of the organization
called Migrants attention to this rule and
he promptly gave up his weapon, but
later Ingram and Durango got together
again. and during the mix-up a portion
of Durango's right thumb was bitten off.
This led to Migrants arrest.
j. w. Healey pleaded guilty to a charge
of fighting with Dan Boyle and was fined
$40. Boyle pleaded not guilty and his
case was continued until tomorrow.
