PROTECTED VICE AT ST.,
Awful Stories Brought Out by the
Grand Jury-The Head Scoun-
drels Arrested. /.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
St. Louis, Feb. 27.--As the result of
grand jury investigation raid on a
syndicate Of vice was made on Bench
warrants charging Louis and Max Siy
liner with conducting slave houses"
where young girls are systematically sold
to vice.
Nathan KruenZer, partner Of the. Siv-
liner Brothers in the saloon business, was
also arrested on a bench warrant. 1t is
expected that wholesale arrests Of police
men, women and real estate owners will
follow, as the result OF disclosures made
before the grand jury by the half hun
dred witnesses examined
The Siviner brothers were elected from
New York for similar offense, when the
reforms in that city were instituted, and
they are said to be proprietors Of at least
ten houses In this city, where vice is
placed at SO low figure that even young
boys and girls are corrupted.
According to the circuit attorney S
office, the conditions which have pre-
vailed in these "slave houses are in
.describable. Protected by the police, vice
between Twelfth and Ninth streets. Lucas
and Morgan. has become the scene of
nightly crimes. 1t is charged that women
and girls returning from their work in the
evening have been forcibly dragged into
these houses
The traffic is said to have been system
atized to a degree that will startle the
world, Men and women have lured girls
from country towns and have even gone
into the streets after night and captured
them to force them into slavery. One in
cident reported is that of a 14-year-old
girl who was set upon while passing one
of the Twelfth street houses and dragged
inside, where her clothing was torn from
her and garments which prevented her
;y,or thQ at
could not find other clothing and had to
remain in them
Oneof the worst features in this latest
exposure of municipal corruption is the
! apparent connection of the police depart
ment with the protection Of these in
famous dens. There is well defined ac-
cusation that some Of the highest police
| officials in the city will be indicted fol
accepting money to protect the Sivinel
| brothers. places.

Canadian feeling. in this part Of the
country, at least, is distinctly hostile to
the United States. The Dingley and Nc
Kinley bills are largely responsible for
this and the long delay in dealing with the
Alaskan boundary question together with
the appointment by the United States Of
their delegates to the Alaska commission,
has accumulated the unfriendly feeling. 1t
is not unlikely the Canadian government
may make REPRESENTATIONS to what is
termed here the home government-that
is, the British cabinet-to the effect that
Canadians do not approve of the American
appointments and feel that Canada has
never had fair dealings from the United
States

DID GERMANS SACK HER?
Charges and Counter Charges Are
Made Regarding the Ship
Restaurador.
New York Sun Special Service

New York Sun Special Service.
Caracas, Feb. 27.-The authorities at
Porto Cabello, after receiving the war
ship Restaurador, which has been seized
by the blockading powers, have made an
official report regarding the transfer and
the condition ofthe vessel. The report
reads in part:
"The Germans, before delivering the
Restaurador had sacked her in a ruinous
manner. They carried off silverware, COW
|ers, curtains, electric globes, Kitchen uten-
sils and even copper clasps from the ships
side. The machinery was purposely left
out of order. It was necessary to en-
ploy mechanical engineers for twenty -four
hours in order to place the Restaurador
in a condition fit to go to sea. The pill
lage of the ship was scandalous. .
German officers interviewed concerning
this accusation declare that the charge of
the Venezuelan authorities is false and
assert that the ship was not robbed. On
the contrary, they said that Germany had
spent $4,000 in repairing the Restaura-
dor and had left $50 tons of coal on board
Of her without asking cent for 1t.
