5UDD[N FLOP"
Says Excitement of Open
Town is "GoOd''
for Visitors. y
FOR UP-TO-DATE TOWN.
Sees No Harm in Variety Taeatres
Although He Once Ordered
Curtains and Doors OFF.

Police Commissioner II. L. Lilien-
thai comes to the front today as a
champion of fallen women. This
morning a delegation from the Pente-
costal mission, headed by Rev. Mr..
Wallace and Attorney Harry RoseR-
haupt, called upon the commissioner
and demanded to know what, if any,
action had been taken to cause the
removal of the habitues of the Wind
sor, Flo Darling's resort on Front
street, which is just across from the
mission and on the opposite corner
from the city hall.
Il gave it to them straight" said
the commissioner. "Those people
have occupied that block perhaps 10
years and l believe that justice should
be done even such women. 1t would
not be right to require that they be
moved within 80 days. They would
only move into uptown blGcEJ and
residences in the decent rcsticn of
the city. Every few nientEc a move
ment is started to move these people
from their present location. So far
all efforts have proved uns,ra:ling.
Il admit they're a necessary evil.
There's no getting around It. l will
take the matter up with tire board
tomorrow and some action viii be
taken regarding the matter"
The commissioner further stated
that some time next week strenuous
action would be taken regarding the
removal of curtains and doors from
saloon boxes.
Il do not object to the variety the
| aters being run about as they arc
! now. but l want to make Spokane a
city where people can come and be
as safe as in their own private Of
fees" said the commissioner in ex-
planning an interview concerning a
very recent flop" in his sentiments
as to the city's moral tone.
In the interview in question Mr.
Lilienthal upholds certain places he
has repeatedly condemned as being
attractive resorts for male visitors.
He is quoted as saying: "They know
| that in the theaters they will meet
women, if they care to do so, and
| that they can exchange free banter
| with the women and buy drinks for
| them. 1t Is a little excitement that
they crave--an excitement that be-
lieve should not be banished If we are
to have an up to date city with ways
that approach those of the metropo-
| lis
| Spokane people--even good church
members contipued Mr.. Lilienthal
when they go to Seattle, Portland
or other cities. where they meet a
few friends. like to go about and see
the town. It's change that does
no harm and the excitement Is good
| for them. myself often play the
cigar slot machines. Most everyone
does and likes the excitement Tha,
is my position regarding these affairs
exactly"
