WHITE
SLAVERY IS
PRACT|SED

AS a result of her prominence in re-
form work in West Hammond Miss Nir
ginia Brooks has received d communi-
cation from some unknown person in
which it is stated that a man by the
name of Butch" together with saloon
keeper and resort owner by the mans
of Monahan in West Hammond picked
up a girl in Indiana Harbor and entic-
ed her into a life of white slavery.
1t is understood that an automobile
trip is the latest means of capturing
girls and inducing them to enter life
of shame. In this particular instance
the girl is alleged to have been taken
from Indiana Harbor to a resort. said to
be run by Monahan at 100 West Plum
mer avenue.
The truth of the affair would never
have become known had 1t not been for
the fact that the girl persuaded young
man who frequented the place to com
municate with her parents in Chicago
GirI Is Rescued.
The girls father came to Hammond
at once and demanded the possession
of his daughter She was taken out oil
the resort and returned to her home il
the vicinity of 2100 Oakley avenue. Chi
cago.
The girls father first went to Indi-
ana Harbor where he secured the aic
of police officer and the two went Il
the West Hammond resort together.
Miss Brooks informant stated that h,
would write other particulars to her o
the operations of the West Hammons
white slavers. 1t is not known how
many other cases may be brought t.
| light as a result of an investigation.
The seriousness of this charge ma.
be appreciated by the fact that con
gress recently passed a law whicl
makes it a penitentiary offense for an.
one to take a girl from one state I
another for immoral purposes.

pes Moines, Ia, Aug. 11.-Three years
ago Des Moines, sickened of a city ad-
ministration that didn't administer. of
its bosses and its ward heelers and it's
graft. threw them all out and adopted
the commission form of government
Des Moines has never regretted the
change.
Today you could not drive the peo-
pie of Des Moines back to the old style
of municipal rule with a battery of
gatling guns.
Des Moines has accomplished much
since it put its business into the hands
of five men, elected at large from the
city without permitting partisan poll
tics to enter into the consideration of
the fitness of the candidate for office.
Under the Des Moines plan there are
five Departments. There is a depart
ment OF accounts and finances, of which
one man is in complete charge. There
| is the department of public safety, the
department of streets and public i'm
provements and the department OF
parks and public grounds. each in
charge of one councilman. over all o;
these the mayor acts as general super
intendent.
The commission form of government
should be judged more than anything
else by its results. Under the Des
Moires plan these results have beer
numerous. In nutshell, here are sont

/ made since its adoption of the De:

Postponed Indefinitely.

Work on raising the sunken barge
Sealey has been postponed indefinitely.
However. an effort will be made to re
move the machinery from the boats
hull. Divers have been hard to find;
that is, men capable of doing the
work, and as the water is rising 1t has
been decided to discontinue the work
until next spring. One diver that was
employed on the work was getting SIS
day, and some days would be under
the water only forty-five minutes. They
haven't enough chains under the hull
to raise the Sealey.
For time the engineers CONSIDERED
the inflated canvas sacks method Of
floating the Sealey, but this idea has
been abandoned as not feasible. Al
least nothing more will be done this
winter than an effort to recover paris
of the machinery.
