VICE CRUSADE IN P|TTSBURG
Society Women Give Pink Teas
From Red Light Money.
Warrants Issued For Real Estate
Agents of Fashion Know
How Property is Used.

Plttsburg, Pa.-Warrants have been
issued against a large number Of men
and women who occupy high positions
in the most exclusive social circles OF
Pittsburg. These warrants charge
that the persons to be served have
knowingly allowed their properties to
be rented for immoral purposes. Such
arrests have been rumored for some
time, but there was no actual scare In
pink tea circles until warrants were
actually served upon two members
of the Aronson Realty Company and
number of real estate agents, charging
them with renting houses for immoral
purposes. These agents are wanted
principally for the information that
can be cleaned at their trials regard
ing the owners of the houses.
A number of society women receive
immense incomes from their real estate
holdings in the red light district, as
they are rented from S12o to S3Oo
month. Most of these women inner
tied the properties, and the tainted"
revenues have helped them maintain
social positions for years. They were
fully cognizant of the purpose for
which the houses were used, but over
looked that in view Of the handsome
rentals they secured. Having been
immune from police interference for
many years, they have come to look
upon the rental of their property for
immoral purposes as perfectly prop
er business proposition.
Attorney Marion said that the mat
ter has gone far enough to warrant
the declaration that Pittsburg Is going
to have the greatest crusade against
vice ever undertaken in any American
city.
Not only have the people directly in
charge. of these resorts had a little
circle of their own, but they have been
surrounded by all manner Of grafters,
who have lived fat on their earnings.
Department stores have dealt heavily
with the women of the Tenderloin, and
several Of the largest merchants IN
Pittsburg employ women to WORK
among the denizens Of this under
world and sell them their silks and
finerles. The municipal authorities

concerning members of Council are al
ready such that three OF them are
under bail for the Grand Jury and are
facing expulsion from Councils. For d
single months work, Mr.. Marron be-
lieves, the crusade has shown won
| derfully healthy beginning.
A number of ministers chose the
crusade for a topic on which to ad-
dress their congregations. Much less
| condemnation was heaped upon the
miserable Magdalenes Of the red-light
| district than was showered upon the
women of the front peWs and the re-
spectable business men who rent their
! properties to these people at enormous
| figures, such as no respectable person
could afford to pay.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Dig sting Element Left Out.

Bread dyspepsia is common 1t at

Up under the shell Of the wheat

deposit which is turned into diastase
khen it is subjected to the saliva and
y the pancreatic juices in the human
htestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary

liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
Is best it can, without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
lonltis, constipation, and all sorts OF
trouble exist when we go so contrary
10 Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
dlastase, outside Of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfectly
natural manner, without the use of
Z chemicals or any outside ingredients.
Tile little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of

naturally pre-digested and its use In
placc of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use Of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
) human race to-day.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
DAYS or two weeks and the discontn'
nance Of ordinary white bread, Is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly 1r
strength and physical and mental
health.

CANADA FETES HER ATHLETE
Winner of Marathon Race at Ath.
ems Reaps Big Reward.
"BiIIy" Sherring Gets Thousands OF
Dollars, House and
Government Job.

Toronto, Canada.-Willam j., other
wise, BILLY" Sherring, winner of the
Mara thon road race at Athens, Greece,
during the Olympian games. arrived
here. and is now luxuriating in the re-
wards of victory. Glory and wealth
are his, for his enthusiastic country
men, not content with mere physical
appreciation Of his splendid achieve
ment, have gone into their pockets
and produced money for him. The
matter-of- theory is that one can't
eat glory, and an athlete must eat. and
from present indications, the wolf will
not soon invade Sherring's' hearthstone.
This is how the former Grand Trunk
Railway brakeman, at $50 month. is
reaping the good things:
First off he was notified that the
City Council of Hamilton had voted
$500 to him. Then came the news that
the Ontario Government had set aside
another $500 for him. Next, the citi-
zens of Hamilton, through a delega-
ton of admirers, presented him with
a purse of $4,000, while another dele
cation, representing the citizens of
Toronto handed to him purse of $3.50.
The Toronto Baseball Club, in appre-
citation of such 4 true eXemplar OF
sport, presented purse Of S4OO.
In order that BILLY" might have
root-tree of his own, some personal
friends and admirers bought a fine
house and lot in Hamilton. the deed
of which they presented to him. To
top it all. the Dominion Government.
benignant in the reflected glory Of her
plucky son, has appointed the racer to
an inspectorship-a sinecure in which
certain Government property is investi-
gated and which will require only a
part of his time-at salary of about
$3.50 q year, which means great deal
in a country where a dollar goes twice
as far as it does in the United States.

The Disappearance Of Ustica.

4 One Of the results of the volcanic
disturbances which have been going
on in Southern Italy is the threatened
disappearance of the Island Of Ustica,
situated about sixtyseven Nlometers
from Palermo, Sicily. Ustica is not
ipnly Of volcanic formation, but Is be-
tlieved to be the summit Of a submarine
Solcano, the crater Of which Is far
down in the depths Of the Mediterra-
dean.
The island Is nine square kilometers
b area and supports rural and pisca-
lorial population of about 1000, ninety
per cent. of whom are resident prison
lrs. That is, they are Italian criminals
who are sequestered on the island,
where they may do as they please, un-
der certain restrictions, so long as they
10 not change their residence.

Westbury. L. IA sixty horse power
automobile belonging to Robert J. Col

We're killed instantly. The big automo-
bile was smashed into bits. The train
was running at sixty miles an hour.
The two men were speeding in the
machine to the Meadowbrook Club
with the polo trappings of Mr.. Collier.
A practice game was scheduled and
Mr.. Collier had left his country place
on the Whitney estate at Wheatly Hills
and gone to the polo field with his po-
nies and grOomS.
The two men were delayed in get
ting started, and the driver sent the
machine ahead at great speed. 1t shot
through the village of Westbury, and
when near the depot Henry Wanzer, a

was not heard. Wanzer says that he
pulled out his handkerchief and waved
it. but that they evidently thought he
was waving them a greeting, for the
valet smiled and waved his hand in re-
ply.
The automobile struck the tracks as
the express thundered by. The low
front of the car ran right under the
second coach of the train. There was
a terrific roar and crash as the big ma
chine was dragged under the train
and forced along the track, pinned in
before the rear trucks. The machine
was torn into fragments, and the two
occupants were dragged under the train
for 300 yards. That the train was not
derailed was considered wonderful by
the onlookerS.
The crossing where the accident oc-
Cured is one Of the most dangerous OH
Long Island. Automobiles ordinarily
are cautious in approaching it. 1t was
at this same crossing that Henry Four
nier, the French driver, was injured
with several others who were follow
ing W. X. Vanderbilt, Jr., in marking
out the course for the first Vanderbilt
cup race two years ago.
The two men who were killed were
thirty years old. Bishop, the driver,

A young man came to him one day to
get back an essay that had been sub
mitted. "a very good essay" said the
instructor as he returned the paper;
"but, Mr.. Smith, you should write
always so that the most ignorant per-

SLEW DAUGHTER AND HIMSELF
Cole Had Also Murderously Attacked
His Housekeeper.

Woodcliffe, N. john Cole, ma
rine engineer, living about mile from
this place, killed his nineteen-yea--old
daughter Maria; fractured the skull
of his housekeeper, Mrs. Mary Edgar
and then shot himself dead. The
daughter was waving farewell to
her flance, Ernest James, when her
father crept up behind her and struck
her down with an axe. The family
and James had moved to their cottage
only five days before.
Cole, who was fifty years old, had
been employed for years as an engi-
neer on the Hamilton Avenue Ferry
to Brooklyn. He was hard worker,
seldom drank, and was fond OF his
family. The daughter was a child of
his first wife, who had been dead some
years. She was his especial pet, and
when, about year ago, she became
engag ed to James, a plumber, three
years her senior, he treated the young
man as son.
Martin Meyers, farmer, driving TO
early market, saw the father Kill the
daughter and then commit suicide. He
was undoubtedly demented.

BLUNDER IN BROOKLYN TUNNEL
Serious Break in Cylinder Will Cause
Delay of Three Years.

New York City.-Because of amaz-

Brooklyn subway tunnel under the
East River running from the Battery,
the cylinder has been crushed by the
weight of sand and water resting
upon it for a distance Of 1900 feet,
from six inches to more than a foot'
and it must be rebuilt before cars can
be operated.
The tunnel, which was to be in op'

layed from two and a half to three
years, according to Charles NJ. Jacobs,
the greatest tunnel expert in the world.
The tunnel was begun in September.
