WOMEN PULL HAIR.
Fight in One OF the Notorious
Clubs

Another one Of the low resorts, called
clubs that are running so openly IN
Topeka was the scene last night oI
hair-pulling contest in which two OF the
women present attempted to throw each
other out of the window, and as a result
of their little dispute Kate Ward ana a
woman whose name is unknown are dec
GRATED with some ugly cuts and bruises.
The SunffOWer club. % Kansas avenue, up-
Grated by Otto Anderson. who also runs
the Harmony club, was celebrating
Christmas by a masquerade ball when
was attended by the bellies and lions OF
the red light district, and also young girls
whose fond parents thought were else
where Kate Ward and her foe, both
much under the influence of drink, began
to dispute over some remark one OF them
assist the other down onto the sidewalk
by means of the window Glass began to
crash down onto the street, and for fear
that the disturbance would BRING the po-
lice, the place was hastily closed by the
proprietor and the guests left The two
women have not been arrested
Chief Donovan said this morning that
the place would now be closed up. as he
had issued an edict not long since that
whenever trouble occurred in any of the
clubs. they would be closed promptly
These low clubs are the worst feature

the State Journal is still doing business.
OF course all the low characters of the
city are frequent visitors of these places.
but the clubs are the ruin Of many young
girls and boys of the city, Day before
yesterday the overcoats.- of three young
boys of twelve or fourteen years of age
were stolen from this same club.
Police Matron Thorpe said of them:
These clubs are one of the worst fea-
lures we have to deal with. Men entice
young girls into them with the promises
that no one will find il out. and after the
girls are in there get them intoxicated
and then subject them to other indigni-
ties They are licensed by the law in a
way, just the Topeka club and the
Elks are The police have no more right
to go in them without complaint than
they would one of these other drinking
clubs or a private house.
When asked what they We're going to
DO with the clubs and other drinking
places of the city, one of the detectives |
said this morning. well. what can we

we did not see the keeper take the money |
we stood there and watched the |

i was not especially surprised at
the small Populist vote for governor,
because the fight between Hoch and
Harris was so bitter that many Popu-
