THE LAW PROVIDES A REMEDY.

The removal of the red light houses
within the 400 yard limit OF :ne churches
hns caused considerable conmotion III
town. Two or three years ago a move
was made in the same direction, but tho
citiz,ns protested on the ground that
the habitues OF the red light dist -ict
would scatter around in the residence
section Of the town il they were compell-
ed to move from Chinatown, and moth
ing came OF it.
a few weeks ago District Attorney
Caine, acting under the express pro-
Wis iona of the statutes, served notices Oh
the women Of Chinatown, whose houses
were within the prescribed limits, to
move on or before the first day Of June
As q result OF this action, uelen Brown
one the of prominent women Of China
town, has purchased los or the corner
OF Third and Silver streets and is now
erecting a f~ourteen-room house thereon.
This is but a block away from the resi-
dence Of n family ana bears out the
protest made by the citizens two years
ago.
While there is no law to- prohibit
Helen Brown or any onG else from pur.
chasing real estate in the town CT EIku
and building houses upon it and occupy
ing it, the public sentiment Of its cit!zens
should be strong enough to prevent the
maintenance OF a house Of prostitution
within the residence district.
While the law does not prohibit the
purchase OF property by this element, it
does provide for the arrest and punish
ment OF any person keeping a disorderly
house. Section 49, OF the Compiled
Laws saye;
4Auy person in this state who shall
keep any dieorderly house Of public
resort, by which the peace, comfor.. or
decency OF the immediate uei.hborhood,
or Of any family the reof, is habitualIy
disturbed, or who sbau keep any Jun in
q disorderly manner,I ID guilty of a INSIDE
meanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be punished by a fine not exceed
ing W hundred dollars, or imprison-
ment in the county Jail not exceeding
three months. or by both such fine and
imprisonment in tho discretion OF the
court"
h commissioners also have the
power to regulate, prohibit and suppress
houses Of ill-fame under the Act pro.
viding for the government of the towns
and cities OF this state. This power the
co nmiss:oners would undoubtedly use
TO suppress n house Of ill.fame in tile
residence district.
So fur as Helen Browns case ia con-
cerued ut tho present time, nothing can
DO done. She has the right 10 purchase
property and build houses, tut il che
opens a house Of ill-fame in the resi-
dence district 1t can be suppressed IL
proper action be taken. She is taking
chances on what the sentiment OF the
people will be toward her and the busi
ness h proposes to conduct. II she
suffers punishment and financial loss, it
will be because she has not rightly
judged the senti nent OF the better ole.
tmen OF this community. That sentiment
