were asked in regard to bias, opin-

was given the trial today when a
story was circulated that Charles

DIRTY DIVES
CLEANED OUT

Mayor Moore finally sounded the
knell of such disreputable places as
the Main and Yale blocks last night
after the council meeting in an or
der to close them Feb. l, which he
gave to Police Chief Rice. The
Main block is conducted by Frank
Bruno, an Italian, who has become
sleek and wealthy off the earnings
of the unfortunate women who
have rooms there and the white
slaves who were kept there
through the fear of their masters.
The Yale block is conducted by
dissolute woman known as big
Bertha" Lamont. She also has
grown rich off other women's mis-
fortunes and has enjoyed singular
immunity from the police.
Bruno and Big Bertha both
stated today that they would obey
the mayors order because they
have expected it to come for some
time.
1t Is predicted that the women
will scatter to the blocks and resi-.
dences, unless the police see to it
that they leave town.

JAP QUESTION

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. s.
The Japanese question is looming
up bigger, more unwieldy and
more dangerous every day. 1t is
the prevailing opinion that failure
on the part Of the United States to
negotiate an exclusion treaty with
Japan and the failure of congress
to provide adequate legislation on
the matter would start the trouble
again.
Roosevelt has held frequent con-
ferences upon the subject with
California and Pacific coast con-
gressional delegations and it is be-
lieved that an acceptable exclu-
sion treaty will yet be framed. The
matter is in the hands of the presi-

FROM CUTTERS

Special Correspondence to The Press
OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. s.
Twenty-three hundred barrels of
beer were poured into the streets
and sewers of Oklahoma City by
the new state brewery when the
prohibition law took effect. The
beer lacked one process of manu-
facture. The attorney general
ruled that to complete the brew
would be violation of the law,
though complete beer could be
shipped out of the state, If already
made. There was nothing to do
but empty the great watts into the
streets.
For two days the beer foamed
through the basement of the brew
cry into it's sewer drains, foamed
up through the manholes of the
sewers into the streets and was
pumped into the cutters through
two two-inch fire hose when the
sewers were too full to hold more.
Hundreds of men and women
thronged the streets for the two
days, filling buckets, wash boilers
anything that would hold liquid
with the foaming drink. Men lay
down in the street and Tapped 1t
from the cutters like dogs. while
others dropped into sewer man.
