STRIKE AT TRUST
OF SOCIAL Evil. /"
DIES MONIES AUTHORITIES TO
ABOLISH "RGD !-,GHTs-OF-
FER HONEST JOBS.

Des Moines, Sept. 10.-"Reform o,
move out OF Des Moines before Sept
To- is the order that passed through
the red light district of Des Moines
last night. 1t comes as the result OF
crusade started by the newspapers
here ten days ago against an alleged
social evil trust consisting of land.
lords, professional bondsmen, money
lenders and small merchants.
Unlike most drastic moves of the
KIND, the present plan contemplates
the providing Of an opportunity for
every person affected to lead an up-
right life and earn an honest living.
The order to drive the women from
the city and make Des Moines the
only city in the United States Of more
than $4,000 inhabitants without a "red
fght' district was issued by Council
man Hanery, superintendent of the
department of public safety yester.
day. 1t declares that disorderly
fouses will be suppressed and that
none will operate in Des Moines, with
the knowledge of the police DEPART
ment In future, and further says:
All keepers and inmates of resorts
are hereby notified that any who wish
to remain in Des Moines and lead a
decent life must report to Mrs. Eliza
beth Baird, secretary of the Iowa HUI
name society, giving their names, aG-
dresses and proposed occupations. It
Will be supposed that if they remain
IN the city and are unwilling to regis
ter they are undesirable citizens, and
they will be considered as such"
Provide Honest Work.
The order also says: "They NAV
also be informed that If are in urgent
need they may call upon Mrs. Baird,
who can put them in touch with peo.
pie who have signified desire to
help them"
When newspapers began their cru
SADIE men from detective departments
were assigned to work with them. ana
a great mass of evidence, not only of
extortion in matter of rents, for cloth
ing, jewelry, food and on bonds was
secured, but cases were developed
where women had attempted to re-
form and had been forced back into
resorts-in fact, a well organized traf.
fic in women was disclosed. This evil
dence is ready to be placed before
the grand jury next week. The expos
ures so stirred people of the city that
reform organizations and
finally mothers clubs and womens
clubs in general called mass meetings
and protested against segregation or
any recognition Of the social evil. 1t
was these demands that caused Coun
Gilman Hamery to issue the sweeping
order.
Prosecutions as Club.
''It means just what it says and it
will be continued" said, Mr.. Hamery
IN explanation of his order, "and every
woman who has been in a resort here
and fails to register with the Humane
society and continue in decent EN-.
oloyment after it is furnished her will
De prosecuted. In the meantime the
evidence against the trust will be pre-
'ented to the grand jury and prosecu
ions will be pushed oy the county at
office, the police and Humane
society. Most of the testimony is in
affidavit form, and The signers of the
affidavits will be he'd as Witnesses"
