lar and successful elsewhere. In this
city the number has become so great
that the women inmates have been com

neighboring cities OF the state and from

Woonsocket people OF certain sections

For this latter trip The News did not
select the reporter who usually gets the
religious news TO write. but on the con-
trary man who is thoroughly familiar
with tho conditions existing in the parts
OF the city where the joints abound and
knows about the people who make their
living from the degradation Of the women
and the debauchery OF the men OF the
city.
