the moral effect of this condition of af-

the district and states that to his certain
knowledge there were many men and

curing of young girls to enter these tene-
ment house apartments and lead a life
of immortality.
DR.. Paddock gave it as his opinion that
the dark and unlighted Railways of the
tenements were the chief reasons for the
prevalence of the vice in that district.
1t was there, he said, small children first
came into temptation, and he suggested
that the law requiring teh halls to be
lighted be rigidly enforced.
DR.. Paddock stated further that he con-
sidered the gambling evil one of the most
closely associated with that of prostitu-
tion. He also declared that he considered
that the moral standard of the entire East
Side had been lowered by close and init
mate association with the women who
live in flats and houses in the so-called

THE SENTENCES UNEQUAL
The Ball in Billy McGlory's Hall
Called Off
COMMITTEE OF IS NOT YET ORGANIZED
Plenty Of Good Material to Choose From and
All The Funds Needed. Rev. Fobert |.
Paddock's Address on Vice
in the Tenements.
(By the Associated Press.).


New York, Nov REORGANIZATION of the
citizens committee of fifteen for the sup
preston of vice will not be completed be-
fore Friday or Saturday. This delay is
material rather than the scarcity. Charles
Stewart Smith, to whom was left the APP
pointment of the committee, insists that
the men who accept places on the COM
rnittee of fifteen shall be willing to con-
tribute literally of their time. Funds
will be forthcoming in plenty, but there
will be much work to be done and this
will fall upon the committee members
1t is understood that one exception will
be made. Former Mayor Abram S.
Hewitt has declined to serve as a mem
Der of the committee for the reason that
he cannot give to the work the time it
deserves. Yet so keenly is it felt that
Mr.. Hewitts advice will be almost indis-
pensable, that he will probably be per-
suaded to consider his refusal.
1t is possible that the committee will
increase it's membership to 20 SO as to
take in ten who may act as advisers.
Billy McGlory's Hall on West 59th
street @was to have been opened tonight
by big ball. The police were notified,
and at the last moment the ball was call
cd off, This evening six plain clothes
men took their places in front of the hall,
but they found nothing to do. A dim
light burned in the bar room, but there
was no sign of life within.
Michael Davis, proprietor of the
BLACK Rabbit the most notorious den
in this city was permitted to plead guilty
today before Recorder Golf in General
Sessions to keeping a disorderly house.
He was sentenced to eight months i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary.
Two other indictments against the pris-
oner, each charging felony, the maxi
mum penalty of which would have been
twenty years at hard labor in State
prison, were practically quashed by the
district attorneys recommendation that
the prisoner be discharged on his own
recognizance.
Pauline Sheldon who was present dur
ing the orgies when the "Black Rabbit"
was raided, also escaped with an eight
month sentence.
In contrast with these sentences Jules
Dumont, employed as floor manager by
Davis in the BLACK Rabbit tried and
convicted before Judge Cowing last week.
was sentenced to fourteen years in States
prison. Edyth Myrtle, a performer at
the BLACK Rabbit" tried and convicted
before Judge Mcmahon, got seven years
in State prison

FRANCE WILL NOT MOVE FIRST.
So Delcasse Informs Kruger Dom Paul Will
go to The Hague.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, Nov. 28-The conversation which
former President Kruger had with the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs. NJ,
Delcasse, yesterday. was confined to the
former sounding the latter as to the prob
able attitude of France in certain eventu-
alities. Mr.. Kruger did not press. for a
definite statement and the conversation
lacked preciseness. NJ. Deleasse let it
be understood that France had not
changed her attitude since he explained
the Governments position in the Chamber
of Deputies last March France will not
take the initiative in intervention in
South Africa, but will not discourage any
other country from so doing. On the con-
trary, she will join in such initiative, if
it is taken under such conditions as APP
pear to her to merit acquiescence.
Mr.. Kruger did not formulate any OPP
position and did not intimate what he in
tended to do, but it is understood he will
take the first official diplomatic step at
The Hague. 1t is not known whether he
will ask Holland to propose mediation or
open other and less clearly defined nego-
tiatiCns.

Emden, Ills, Nov 2S.-Four masked
men wrecked the Farmers Bank of Emden
today. 1t is stated they secured all the
funds of the bank, between $4,000 and
81, 900.
When the robbers discharged their first
blasts of dynamite in an effort to open
the vault. the explosion aroused John
AIberts, four blocks away. Alberts hur-
ried to the bank. One of the robbers was
on guard in the street. He seized Alberts
who was bound hand and foot and drag
ged into the bank where he witnessed the
gang drilling into the vault door, making
ready a second blast. When the fuse was
lighted the robbers stepped outside and
Alberts lay in the corner, when it went
off He was not seriously injured how
ever. The second blast unhinged the vault
doors and the robbers made off with all
the cash. Securing a hand car they pulled
in the direction of Delavan. There they
were met by Night Patrolman Sanford
who attempted to arrest them. One OF
the robbers fired and Sanford fell, NOR

she has visited her sister and been social
w entertained The family here discredit
the report and are disinclined to discuss
if. They say it has come up at intervals
for two or three years, and they know
of nothing to justify it. The persistence
of the rumor has been exceedingly I'M
pleasant. Neither Miss Kenan nor Mr..
Flagler has ever given to them any in
timation of their marriage. She has not
been in Macon in many months. Her
home is in Wilmington, N. c., and how
the report could have started from the
east is a mystery to them.
Mr.. Wise, brotherin-la of Miss Ke-
nan. who was asked outright tonight if
the report was true. said:
IF there is any truth in the report we
do not know of it here. and l think we
would if it were true. These reports
have been current from time to time for
several years. and SO far as l am aware,
there is no more truth in this one than
there has been in the others.

THE YOsEMITE's HISTORY.

Washington. Nov. 2S.-The Yosemite was
first commissioned April 18th, 1898, she
has been station ship at the Island of
Guam since the days of the Spanish War.
She is a sixteen knot converted cruiser,
# 6.179 tons displacement and is provi-
ded with main battery of 10 fve-inch
rapid fire guns, and a secondary battery
of six 6-pounders and two Colt rifles. She
has a complement of Is officers and 267
men. Her measurements are 391 feet
in length by As feet extreme breadth She
has mean draft of twenty feet one
inch.
Just before the outbreak of the Spanish
American War the vessel was purchased
by the Navy Department, fitted as an
auxiliary cruiser and rendered effective
service as one of the patrol fleet, being
manned in part by the Michigan naval
militia. 1t is said that her anchorage at
Guam was off the Harbor of San Luis
d'Apra, and that owing to her draft she
was obliged to lie six miles off shore.
The harbor is particularly dangerous
one owing to the existence of a rocky
shoal in the middle and particularly
crooked channel.
According to the Naval Register, the
267 men but in her capacity as station
ship not all of these were required and
undoubtedly a part of them were ashore
engaged in duties at the naval station.
This probably would be true of her COM
mander, Seaton Schroeder, who also is
Governor of Guam, and who probably left
the active command of the ship to the
ranking Lieutenant, Augustus N. Mayer.
The other officers accredited to the ship
by the register are Lieutenanfs w. E.
Stafford, Albert Moritz, B. B. Bierer; En-
signs A. w Presley, H. l.. Collins, A. n.
Mitchell and r. T. Evans; Assistant Sur
geon, f. NJ. FurIong; Assistant Paymas-
