REIGN OF V|CE IN NEW YORK MUST BE ENDED Police Commissioner MCAd0O Makes Long Address
 to the Force CITIZENS AND VISITORS
 MUST BE PROTECTED Says the "TenderIoin" District Is a Disgrace to City and Is Kept Up
 by Men Grown Rich
 on Crime.

New York, October 22.-In order to cor rect an impression that the police of the ..tenderloin section had betn in- structed to arrest all unescorted women found on the streets at night" Police Commissioner McAdoo visited the station house tonight and made long address to the force. He read the sections of the law on the subject and told the men that he expected them to arrest all inn proper characters, but that the mere fact of a woman being alone did not Justify her arrest, and that he would deal se- verely with any policeman found inter- fering with a respectable woman.
 The commissioner said in the course of his address:
 -No ones rights will be illegally inter- fered with, but this precinct can and will be made clean. There are no diff culties in the way which cannot be over come with legal methods. This precinct is in the very heart of the commercial and social capital of the western hemis- phere. It is a disgrace to the city, it's morals and civilization, that such an ul- cer as this should exist in the very cen ter of its greatest activities.
 We are bound not only to protect our own citizens, but the vast army of visi- tors from those corrupting influences, and unseemly sights.
 You are combating great influences in enforcing. these laws, Inc owners of the property who reap large profits from the base and criminal uses to which it is put; the various business interests which thrive on profiigacy and prodigality of vice. and who are complaining that with them trade is dull, and lastly and more potent than all, those men who have grown rich on crime and vice, to whom 1t is a legitimate industry, whose mil lions are stained with blood and tears of wretched women, and outcast men who own the large Raines'-law hotels where the woman Is first robbed of the price of her infamy. and when she is arrested Is compelled to pay them for the bond that releases her Rich and influential, swag- gering and clustering, these captains of the industry of vice and crime reach out their influences into the most unexpected quarters. They do not want a police cap tain here whom they cannot own, and even now they and their hirelings are threatening political dshonor to the honest head of the city government for maintaining in office a police commis- sioner who Is not afraid of them.''
 The commissioner exhorts the men to be loyal to their commander, Captain Dooley, in whom he said he had the full lest confidence.

Mississippi Takes Away Restrictions and Texas Makes Concessions. Alabama Will Not Soon
 Follow Suit.
SITUATION AT NEW ORLEANS.
AT sAcoLA.

New Orleans, October 22.-While this was the fifth consecutive day on which no deaths were reported, which In itself was a cause for much general satisfae- tion, the most gratifying information came in the shape of telegram from the state health officer of Mississippi that at D. In. Monday all Mississippi quaran- tines would be raised. Another source of congratulation was a telegram from Dr. Tabor of Texas to Dr. White to the effect that Texas would admit people from Louisiana who would make an affidavit that they had not been near an infected point for six days previously. It is be- lieved that the Texas restrictions will be entirely removed in a short time. and that Alabama will also remove all re- strictons in a short time.
 The removal of the Mississippi quaran- tine Is the cause of the greatest satis- faction because of tho close relations be- tween this city and the gulf coast. which is regarded as practically Il suburb of New Orleans.
 There were no reports of new cases or deaths from the country parishes today. Those places which did report had no new cases.

 Communications between tho American embassy at Constantinople and the porte on the subject, have been in progress for some time. Mir Leishman in his latest note Is following the instructions given him by the state department. which has been contendng earnestly for the re- cognition of the stand taken by this gov- ernment that although Vartanian Is only a naturalized American citizen, he Is en- titled to a trial before the American min ister. or an American consular officer in Turkey, in the same manner as an Amer ican-born citizen charged with crime in the Sultan's dominions would be tried

Mississippi Lifts Bar.

Mobile, October 22.-Surgeon Young tell egraphs Dr. Rhett Goode that Mississippi raises all quarantines after D. m. Mon day. In an interview Dr. Goode stated that Alabama must be very careful now that Mississippi has released, as that state was the buffer between us and sev- eral points of infection. Personally he thinks that quarantine against all in- fected places should be maintained at least till November l., and if there Is no killing frost before then, quarantine should be maintained till November 15. Dr. Goode has great weight with the state board. and 1t Is improbable that Ala bama will follow the example of Missis- sippi at present.
