Sullivan also says that list of
eligibles should be made up and
that when a man is to be picked for
promotion he should be selected for
meritorious work and be required to
pass an examination as to his
fitness.
Nobody in Spokane Is better
qualified to speak knowingly on this
proposition than Sullivan, and his
recommendation will undoubtedly
be adopted by the charter revision
committee.

Bernard and Front streets by an
Indian and a white man, the lat

ground with a club, where he lay
helpless while the redman robbed

of the robbery and traced the mis-
creants to shack occupied by
Whitford and Maxfield, who were
identified by Isadore as the men
who had robbed him.

A demand was made on the po-
lice last night for the arrest of the
proprietor Of a fruit stand on Post
street, who keeps a young girl in
his employ for immoral purposes.
The case was exposed in The
Press last week, and attention of
Acting Chief OF Police Sullivan was
directed to the case. He said tat
he would detail a detective.
The conditions that have prevail
ed in this fruit stand are applicable
to other places over the city. 1t is
nothing more nor less than white
slavery, and the police permit it to
run while the usual public resorts
are closed.
In the place on Post street there
have been three girls in two weeks.

All were employed for immoral pur-
poses. When the girls are retained
for few days they are shipped to
another stand, in order to have a
continual change of victims.
The girl in the Post street place
has admitted to two parties sent
there by The Press the life she is
forced to lead. She is recently
from the country, just past II, and
her father does not know where she
is or the life she leads.
Yet these hellish conditions have
been from time and again reported
in The Press, and there is no police
action until some one thrusts it un-
der the nose of the acting chief
of police in such manner that he
can no longer dodge action.
