to be sent down on Brunie street. Of
ficers Sexton and Ethridge responded
to the call, and on arriving at the
scene they encountered Mrs. Moore in
the street and were informed by her
that she had sent for them.
She related to them, it is said, that
her husband, AL Moore, had mistreat-
ed her, that he had cuffed and abused
her generally, beating her about the
head with grip containing piano-tun-
ing tools, and that he had caused her

The worst evils of instnitary, immoral

according to the bulletin, in New York,
with Chicago a close and gaining Sec

The most crowded block In New
York had a density in 1901 of slightly
under 400. In Chicago two blocks
are reported as containing 200 inhab-

were found 1O4 single room "house'
