dHQ EIO5ltLuliOn.
Montreal, June 1.-The two great
evils of Montreal are prostitution and
drink" says Mr. Recorder Dupuis.
Never has there been as much
drunkenness in the city as there has
been since the early closing law came
into effect, and the way the disorder.
ly houses are being scattered through
out the city shows the police have
not the same control of the social
evil as they had few years ago 1t
is slipping away from them, and it is
a disaster for the morals of our
young men"
This expression of opinion was
called forth by the hearing of the
charges against Madam Piquette
and her son-in-law, Henri Lacoste,
who were accused of keeping disor-
DERBY houses in Dorion street, and for
having kept and sold liquor without
a license.
