REPORT ON VICE
IN NEW YORK

New York, April 12.-The committee
Of fifteen organized some months ago
tn investigate vice as 1t exists in this
CITY, made its preliminary report TO
the public today. This report Will be
followed by others from time to time
as the committee deems necessary.
The report says that the commit
tees agents. by investigation. disclosed
the fact that gambling and pool rooms
were being operated openly In violation
of the law; that the gambling spirit
hsd developed to such an extent rs to
become distinct menace to the COIN
munity, and that these resorts were
undoubtedly protected In their opera
ton by officers whose duty 1t was to
close them. Raids were made by the
committee and its agents. and the re-
suits obtained show cOnclusively that
a committee of citizens can force the
police to close such resorts. thus prov
ing that vice is protected and also that
the raids have resulted in making the
gambling business Improbable.
The committee has been collecting
data from different countries and in
tends to prepare a report embodying
suggestions for the treatment of the
social evil problem in great cities. 1t
does not feel that the best interests of
the city will be served by any violent
attempt to suppress this eviE but 1t Is
hoped that the forthcoming report Will
present such information and recon-
mendations as shall enable the cOmmu-
nifty to face the situation frankly and
to deal with 1t conscrvatively and wise
ly. The committee says that the actual
conditions of the tenement house popu-
latioD is alarming in respect to the
social evil, and that in 125 tenement
houses that were examined by its
agents and in which disorderly women
were living there were found In each
house an average of twenty-four chill
the committee is collecting evidence
which will be utilized to eliminate this
evil.
The committee recommends with
earnestness the necessity of providing
suitable places of meeting where the
people in each neighborhood can come
together and discuss the evils that
menace their civic life, and where they
may from time to time meet their rela-
tive representative with n view of OBJ
tanning from them an account of their
stewardship and where remedies may
he proposed and discussed. Therefore
the recommendation is made that In
each assembly district one suitable as
sembly hall shall be built. which shall
be kept available for such citizens
meetings, and it throws out n sugges-
tion that these might be built in con-
nectiOn with the new public libraries
which are likely to be erected in every
part of Greater New York.

Boise, Idaho, April 12.-Martial law
no longer exists in Shoshone county.
Governor Hunt to-day issued n proc
lamation abolishing it. The proclama-
tion became effective Immediately on
the governor attaching his signature
thereto. Martial law was declared by
Governor Stcunenberg on May 4. 1899.
following an Investigation of the de-
structlon of the Bunker Hill conccn-
traitor during sanguinary riot In the
early part of the previous month. The
proclamation says in part:
"Since the Inauguration of martial
law in Shoshone county order was
maintained wholly by civil authorities.
1t has not been necessary to use the
federal troops. though they have been
held in readiness Mt all times to sup
port the state. The courts have been In
unrestricted operation of their func-
t,ons and civil officers have remained
in full performance Of their duties at
all times.
"Up to assuming the office l felt II
my first duty to investigate conditions
in Shoshone county and the necessity
of the exercise of military force for
the government. either In name or Ell
feet, to maintain order and protect
property.

ROBBERS DEN
EAST OF LONGMONT

Longmont, Colo. April 13.-(Denver
Republican Special.)-A mild attempt
to emulate the prOwess of the Famous
Jesse James gang has been unearthea
near here, in the opinion of local ofn-
GERS. by the arrest of three mysterious
ranchmen, known as Kraig, Turvinger
and Townsend. Such Is the opinion OF
Detective w. II. Reno of the Colorado
& Southern railway, and Marshal T..
~. Basher of LOngmont.
The men were arrested yesterday on
the charge OF rObbing the railroad
ticket and postoffice at Elbert, and In
cidentally the unsolved burGlaries at
the Loyeland ticket office and Golden
postofiice are laid to them.
The three men had purchased
forty-acre ranch about eight miles east
of here, between this town and Platte
Vile. where they erected a house and
barn, the latter being always occupied
by well kept saddle horses. Numerous
excursions by the mysterious tenants
have been noted, and on several occas-
ions they are said to have absented
themselves for several days at n time.
Strangers were frequent visitors, and
the officers are now looking for another
companion by the name of Cunning
ham, who is thought by the officers to
have been implicated in the recent rob-
berries.
II the ranch was to be used as the
basis for marauding expeditions, It's
location was almost ideal, situated as
it was but few miles from both the
Union Pacific and Colorado roads.
Cheyenne, to the north, could be easily
reached by horseback. while to the
south no towns of Importance would
have to be passed on such an ex-
cursion.

growing deeper, soggier. heavier every
hour. The leaden weight carried down
many telegraph wires and all commu-
nicatlon was cut off from the line OF

bad all over the state, and squads of
