ALLURING
Story Told by a
Stranger.
Persuaded Girls to Go
to New York.
They Were Made Pris.
oners There.
Investigations Of the Parkhurst
Society.

Reading, Pa, Sept. 6.-The state
ments Alderman Nickel has made
with reference to girls being allured
from this city to New York, has set
the police to work diligently. His
story is that stranger came here and
posed as a theatrical agent. He ad-
vertised for young and good-looking
girls, and to all applicants he told an
interesting and seductive tale of stage
life and the money to be earned. A
half-dozen girls were soon sent to
New York. i.,
When entrapped they wrote home,
but could not get their letters for
warded. Parents complained to the
alderman. He Informed the postal au'
thorities, and postal money-order
failed in it's purpose. The alderman
then sent all the names Of the girls
to the Parkhurst society. When the
detectives were about to raid the
places where the girls were, the par
ties running the establishments were
given the tip, and all of the inmates
were taken to Jersey City.
Some were furnished with tickets
and sent to their homes. The man told
them that he would be in Readings in
a few weeks and call on them. He
has not appeared as yet, and that was
nearly three weeks ago. The only
girl to remain in New York or to be
captured during the raid was Matte
Gibson. She Is still there and will be
used as witness. 1t is said that
some of the others who are within
reach will be used as witnesses at the
proper time. One of those who re-
turned home Is well known. She call
ed on Alderman Nickel and told him
all about how they were persuaded
to leave home and where they were
taken after reaching New York. Once
in the establishment they We're CON-
PEELED to submit to the dictates of the
mistress of the house and We're not
permitted to leave the place.
Alderman Nickel says a number of
Reading girls have disappeared from
efcity recently, and he feels surethat
they could be located. He says that
he is now in communication with the
Parkhurst society with a view of fur
nishing such data as may be of use tc
the organization when the trial of the
parties comes up.

They're Killed In China.
Mayor Believes Uncle Joe Was
Justified In Saying What He Did.

'That particular case was such an
exasperating one that l am almost in
clined to believe Uncle Joe Kendall
was justified in making his remark
general that any man who would beat
his mother should be killed." said
Mayor Doyle to reporter for the Dem
ocrat Thursday.
"Such eases will try the forbearance
of the most conservative. In China a
boy who strikes his father or mother
is killed by the authorities of the town,
and if the general government finds
out that n town is harboring so inhu-
man n child, the officials are at once
called to account for their negligence.
In some instances towns so offending
have been destroyed"
