REVELRY OF CRIME
Doors of KlOndike Are Again
Wide Open.
VuItures Who Fatten Off the
Failing Veterans.
THE FARCE is ENDED.
Apparently No Effort Made to
Close the Dens.
Drunken Men and Women Curse
and CarOuSe.

Mont Williams of Lansing is authority
for the statement that the Klondike is
not closed and that crime is in full
sway in that notorious district.
In response to the agitation caused
by Williams the state administration
has ordered the penitentiary authorities
to cease furnishing light and water to
the Elnora hotel at Lansing, in which
Williams charged a joint was in opera
ton.
This is but a partial victory for Will
liams who has been fighting the Klon-
dixie and the Pike saloons and dens of
vice. Mr.. Williams describes the con-
ditions in those notorious districts by
saying:
Il drove through the Klondike sun
day. July 29. in a buggy. The first
place at the entrance to this district is
the North Star recently opened. The
keeper stood in the rear of his vile den
and cursed and abused me in a most
shameful manner, his general appear
ance being that of a fiend in human
form.
Passing this came to more than a
dozen places, wide open, where drunken
men and women were making the day
hideous by their profanity and vulgar
ity.
cards; drinking and dancing; all half
clad. A person supposed to be a dep
uty sheriff was shooting craps with sev-
eral negro men and women.
AN old woman who keeps a dive in
a tent is very proud of the fact that
her son Alf, II years old, had worked
six weeks to buy his Pa a pistol and
was now working additional six
weeks to buy one for himself and had
won already his first victory by knock
ing an old soldier in the head with the
butt end Of his new pistol.
From now on he would tend bar they
said, and keep a respectable place if he
had to kill every bum In the home.
'At another place near the depot were
several drunken men and women, al
most nude, dancing. Nearby We're sew
eral old soldiers lying out in the hot
sun beastly drunk. Some will doubtless
die from the effects of poison dealt out
to them by the Klondike thugs.
Leaving this locality we passed the
notorious Weisman Road house. Drunken
negroes of both sexes were drinking and
cursing everybody who dared risk their
lives by passing this place, only one
mile from Lansing on the Pike.
IF there is any improvement in this
locality over previous conditions fall
ed to see it.
Anarchy reigns supreme over the
entire locality which should be put un-
der martial law at once, and the whole
gang of outlaws run into the Missouri
river at the point of the bayOnet.'

Bressi Travelled from New York via
Paris and on June IA, applied to the
municipal authorities of Prato for a
birth certificate that he might secure
a permit to carry arms. This was re-
fused because of his character and past
offenses which he had committed against
the municipality.
On June 16 he secured a passport for
New York, describing himself as a
shoemaker. Early in July he went to
young nieces. On the evening of July
is he took the train for Milan via Bo-
logna.
Bressi is tall and slender with an olive
complexion, dark eyes and slight mus
tache. His mother died in February,
1891 and his father in 1895. He has two
brothers, one, Lorenzo, a shoemaker at
Cojano, Is years older than himself and
the other Angiolo, for whom the muir

World correspondent, said

For my part, 1 curse the anarchists,

much about politics; Gaetano, who was

quite peculiar in our family in that re-
spect.''

Judge Freeman did not care for any

Result Of Police Court Tria! of Wally

Child.
(From Wednesdays Daily)

(FrOm wednesdays DaliyD
AS a result of disclosures in the

John Reilly, negro, was indicted yes
terday by the Grand Jury for the crime
Of criminally assaulting Alice Davis, a
fourteen-year old girl, on Summers ISL
and early In the spring.
The story of the wrongs of the little
child was one of the most unparalleled
cruelty. She came into court as the
complainant against her foster father,
wally Davis 1t appeared that for
some time past she had been living on
Sumner Island with him and q Chinese
and the negro, Reilly. She told how
on more than one occasion the man
Davis had stripped her of her clothing
in the presence of the negro and the
Chinese and had beaten her cruelty
with a strap. Subsequently the negro
had assaulted the girl and Davis had
him arrested for rape. When the girl
was brought into court to tell of the
matter she related the treatment she
had received from Davis and he was
arrested In turn. Doctors examined
the child and found that she had been
beaten until she was covered--with
marks from a strap. Davis was fined
500 for his share in the disgraceful
business and the negro was held for
rape. The indictment of the Grand
Jury against the negro followed.
The child has since the airing OF the
case been in the care of kindly people
