DRIVEN TO UNION SQUARE
Women of the Tendertoin Infest a
Neso District

The energetic efforts of Captain Cottrell. OF
the Tenderloin station, to drive dfsorderly
women off Broadway has resulted in many of
the women infesting Union Square. The side
walks surrounding the square have never been
free from these creatures, but of late the num-
Der of disorderly women encountered there has
been so great that several complaints have
been made by pedestrians in that neigh5orhood
man cannot walk the few blocks encom-
passing Union Square without being accosted
by these women. They display a holiness, too
probably accounted for by the comparative
darkness of at least three sides of the square,
which they dare not evince in Broadway.
When Police Captain Cottrell was asked con-
corning the state of affairs, he said that he
would make thorough crusade in Union Square
to clear the sidewalks there of these women
The captain said that most of his attention had
been confined 70 cleaning that part Of Broad
which these women had previously made no
torious. II claim that 1 have driven most of
these women off Broadway" said Captain Cot
trell, "and certainly the most dangerous of them,
those who will rob well solicit have been
driven out of the precinct. 1 shall keep at this
work until they are all gone. OF course the
most important parts of the precinct must be
looked after first
Many of the women who formerly were well
known in Broadway have gone to Harlem since
Captain Cottrell took command OF the Tender
loin.

held yesterdav at the university, in Washington
Square Dr. John II. MacCracken gave address
on the Ethical Sense OF Justice" He said IN part
think the respect for law is readily
grasped in a monarchy than in a democratic form
Of government. In this country there does not
seem to the respect for law that there is in the
monarchy. AS example OF this lack OF sense
OF Justice 1 might cite an incident that happened
at the opening of the St Louisa exposition The
board of directors made rule that no automobiles
would be allowed in the fair grounds on the OPEN
ing day. When that day arrived one of the d.
rectors approached the grounds In an automobile
with the late Senator Hanna, and was immediately
sfopped by the guard at the gate When told that
the entrance of automobiles was against the rules
the director replied We'll 4 helped make that
rule, and I guess 1 can change it, and dashed
past the guard into the grounds.
We speak OF freedom In this country as the great
inheritance Of the people. Freedom is great gift

Vie7O of British Alliance

Paris. April 16-The Russian naval disaster
displaces all other topics The view is held in
government quarters that It will have the effect
Of postponing peace A leading official said to-
day:

The official added that the gradual wiping out
Of the Russian navy might have the beneficial
effect OF reducing the European naval arIna-
rnents. He pointed out that the British naval
plan contemplated a strength equal TO the navies
OF France Germany and Russia, whereas the
present gradual elimination Of the Russian navy
would permit Great Britain and other countries
to reduce their naval programmes without al
tering their relative strength.

matte circles the trend of sentiment being that

however. is that this agreement is not imminent,
but is likely TO be realized after the close of the
Russo-Japanese war. The officials say that Ger

Great Britain's relations with Japan as among
the reasons why the accord Will not be realized
