"Show Me Another"

Soon after twins had arrived at the
home of a prominent dry goods mer-
chant recently the proud father led
his son Richard, aged four, into the
room to see the little strangers. The
father first pulled down the covers
and showed one of the babies to his
son. He then walked to the other
side of the bed and exhibited the
other twin. Richard gazed at the two
for a moment with a noncommittal
look on his face, and then demanded:
"Show me another, papa"

INVESTIGATE
FRUIT STANDS
Girls Transferred From One Place
to Another--Policemen Are
Friendly.

Is it white slavery or what-the
system carried on of procuring girls
for their employment In the Italian
fruit stands of the city?
This matter has been under inves-
tigation for some time, with the re-
suit that some peculiar facts have
been discovered.
There seems to be some cen
certed action among the proprietors
of the cheaper Italian fruit stands
and smaller stores whereby Amer.
can Subsequently, about 20 or
younger-are employed, ostensibly
as clerks, but in reality for other
purposes.
A round of a portion of the fruit
stands and cigar stores showed a
dozen or more of these girls en-
ployed. All were young and fairly
good looking. None of the girls
seemed to be working, but rather
more appeared to be posing than
serving the public. All were neatly
clad, showing that in the matter of
wearing apparel they are we'll cared
for.
These girls, as rule, stay about
a week in a place. Then they are
shifted to some other shop or store
through an exchange made with an
oher proprietor. 1t is useless for an
American young man to try to talk
to these girls-it is not permitted.
The only one privileged to converse
with them is an Italian.
Strange to relate, in one place
the proprietor, to a confidential
friend, said that the girl behind his
counter was secured for him by a
member Of the police force.
This Italian merchant has store
on Sprague avenue. "Ain't she a
good locker" remarked the fruit
vender to his friend. "Officer Of
the police force got her for me. and
told me that there were more where
she came from"
What did you give him?" was
asked, by way of curiosity.
"Oh, WELL make that all right
with him. He's good fellow him

FLEMING

City Clerk Charles Fleming said
today that when the members of
the charter election committee be-
gan to cry lob" in connection with
the checking up Of their petition
that they were talking a little too
soon. Clerk Fleming says that he
is diligently at work checking up
the petition with the registration
list, as was ordered by the city
council. To show that he is giving
the petition the best of the break,
Fleming says that he is checking
1t along with the registration list
of 1909.
Insofar as my office is con-
cerned,' said Mr.. Fleming, "the pc
tition of this committee or any
other committee that comes before
me will get square deal. The city
council has ordered that the peti-
tion be checked up with the regis
tration list, as the proper way to
determine whether or not the sign
ers are voters, and that is the way
it will be done. BY comparing the
names with the 1909 registration
list we are giving the petition the
best of it, as really the 1910 regis
tration list is the only proper rec
ord of qualified citizenship we
have
Clerk Fleming says he believes
the city council proposes to consid-
er the petition of the committee on
its merits, and that no wire pulling
or dark lantern tactics have been
considered, as seems to be the I'M
preston of some of the members
of the charter committee.
