WILD WEST AND HIPPODROME
FOR MICHIGAN STATE FAIR
Big Shows viii Give Wholesome Exhi-
bit That Will Have Educa-
tional Value.

Assistant General Manager Slocum
has closed a contract with Frank eP
Speilman, of Cincinnati, for the ex-
hibition at the Michigan State fair
this year of great wild west show
and hippodrome. They are two OF
the largest aggregations of the kind
now touring the United States. Every
act will be wholesome, and the fair
management intends them as educa-
tional features. The wild and eXcit-
ing life on the western plains will be
pictured as 1t existed years ago.
Scores of people are carried by these
two shows and the tents and other
appurtenances cover large tract OF
ground
The fair officials have also contract
ed for an Indian village that will show
the visitors how the red man lives his
primitive life.
The fair officials have also decided
to use for concert purposes the la
dies band that has been engaged for
every day Of the state fair. The band
will be heard principally in the grove
where the crowds congregate tate IN
the afternoon. These musicians are
all artists and will come TO Detroit

WHITE GIRLS INDULGE
IN SHAMEFUL ORGIES
Fifty of Them Attend Chinese Outing
and Many Become Supplied
by Opium

BOSTON, Mass. July 13.-Senti.
ment against the association OF white
women with Chinese which has been
strong here since the Elsie Sigel muir
der in New York Is today near the
action point through the presence OF
fifty white women at the annual out
ing OF the On Long Tong held yester-
day There. 1t is said. fifty white wo-
men took part-in the festivities with
600 Cinnamon and that many OF both,
some of the girls being only II or Is
years old, became stupefied by opium.
Every room In a hotel at Paddock
Island Is said to have been occupied
by the Chinese.
The top floor OF the mansion was
taken possession Of by the prominent
-eeleetials- About 80 of the white girls
were in their company
Liquor began TO flow and the opium
pipes were taken from their cases. and
for the remainder Of the day they kept
from public view. In few short hours
the young girls and their escorts be-
came overcome by the powerful drug
and we're seen lying about the floor
and chairs stupefied by its action. IL
Is considered probable that the occur
rences OF yesterday will result In n
police crusade here which will effect
ually clean up the Chinese quarter.
