talking openly and frankly

"As to remedy, I believe we
should form a social commission
to regulate the vice conditions.
1t would take time to work out
the details, but this seems the
only remedy. The question should
be treated the same way ply
sician attempts to combat a dis
ease, step by step.
Dean Sumner, at a men S meet
ing in the Central Y. NJ. c. A..
declared that recognition of the
same code of morals for men and
women was the sole solution of
the vice problem. -1
This outrage will only be
checked when all of you'in your
hearts, as we'll as in your speech,
adopt the same commandments
for men and women, and do not
longer deny the. same law of pur-
ity exists. for men and women in
common" he said.
The growth of vice in Chicago
is essentially a mans problem.
The remedy is not to be found in
police regulations, in committees
or in laws, but only in your liv-
ing up to the higher standard.
These debasing conditions are
created by men for men, because

while many interesting problems
We're worked out and partially solv-

After the reports of all the UNI

accomplished probably will be more
definitely known, but it is NOT likely
to be made public.

1t is apparently true that the two
fleets were engaged from daylight
yesterday until an hour after mid
night last night over stretch of
water covering a radius of about %
miles from this island. Throughout
the manoeuvres no powder was
burned, although all the ships wer>s
cleared for action. The seamen were
put through regular battle drills but
firing was reserved for the regular
target practice.

YACHT IS SOLE PROTECTION,
CAPE HAITEN IN HANDS OF REV.
OLUTIONISTS.
Owner Takes Women on Board and
Announces He Will Not Permit
BOmbardment Of Town.

Cape Hatien, July 2O.-Cape Hal
ten is in the hands of the revolu-
tionists and the sole protection Of
Americans and other foreigners in
this port is an American yacht which
arrived here yesterday morning. The
United States gunboat Petrol sailed
from here several hours previous to
the arrival Of the yacht leaving Am
erican interests unprotected. and
when the yacht came into the har-
Dor Mr.. Dick, the owner, found the
town in a state Of semi-anarchy. The
insurgents were rapidly approaching
and President Simon and his troops
had left for Liberte for Port au
Prince. i. =
There were rumors also that the
cruiser Antoine Simon was on her
way to lombard some of the ports,
and soon the authorities were un-
able TO check the disorders. Mr..
Dick notified the officials that he
would not permit any bombardment
by Hatien warships and would pro-
tect the foreigners.
Early last night fighting broke out
in the streets and at daybreak the
government was overthrown; the
revolutionists had occupied the town
and the streets We're filled with ex-
cited men shooting at random. All
American women were taken aboard
the yacht. while the foreign con-
sulates were filled with refugees
These included generals who had
supported the revolution and the To-
cal authorities, in protecting whom
the French consul was slightly
wounded.
a request was cabled to the Uni
ted States authorities by the yacht
owner for release from bond given
before leaving New York not to use
arms and an answer was returned
that there was no authority for such
release
The whole American colony claim
cd immediate protection and it is
pointed out that serious results may
follow If permission is denied the Am
erican yacht owner to use the guns
with which the vessel is supplied, In
case Of emergency, until the arrival
of an. American war vessel.

Illicit DistiIIery in North Carolina
Was the Scene of Double
Murder.

Raleigh, N. Following the testi-
mony Of witnesses before the grand
Jury that they saw pieces of human
flesh and bones in the furnace at the
Illicit distillery of VIII McIntire of
Therford county. an Indictment was
returned against McIntire charging
him with three murders and reward
of 5000 was offered by the governor
for the apprehension OF the accused.
Three men known to have had
money about them each mysteriously
disappeared after having last been
seen at Mclntires still. Two Of the
supposed victims, J. D. Atchley and
John Melton. disappeared In 1906. and
the third, L. b. Hines, In 1908.
The written opinion Of the county
authorities, asking that the reward be
offered, is that Mclntire and his asso-
ciates killed the three men, robbed
them and threw their bodies into the
furnace This theory Is borne out by
the testimony OF tie father of Melton
and by other witnesses. McIntire only
lately completed prison sentence for

WAGES EIaht Cents a Day HIaher

Among the statistics submitted In
the report Of the state department Of
labor 1t is shown that the average
daily earnings are larger by eight
cents than they were last year, the
figures being 1926 as against 1913.
Industrial prosperity is not simply
a pocketbook and a pair OF willing
hands working in harmony. The shares
which 80 to one on dividend day and
to the other on pay day are determined
by larger considerations. Economic
conditions are never permanently one
