PASTORS'A|D
IS SOUGHT IN
WAR ON VICE

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The crusade against
vice conducted in Chicago by States
Attorney John E. w. Wayman took a
startling turn when, at the request of
the states attorney, Judge Henry C.
Morgan of the municipal court, issued
subpoenas ,ducestecum for the producs
ton of the key to the report of the
vice commission, which was made pub
lie about two years ago.
The key has since remained in the
archives of the commission. When the
report of the commission was pub
Iished 1t contained much information
of startling nature regarding vice
conditions In the various levee dis
tricts of the city, all names being can
celled by the use of numerals in place
of names.
In order to have the benefit Of this
information the subpoenas were issued
against Dean Walter E. T. Sumner OF
SIS. Peter and Paul cathedral, and Ed
win w. Sims, former United States
district attorney here. Mr.. Sims was
the secretary of the commission.
In response to the subpoena, Mr..
Sims appeared in Judge Moran's court
and made a vigorous effort to prevent
the production of the vice report key
! 1t finally was agreed that Mr.. Sims
| should speak to the other members Of
! his committee to see if they are will
ing the key should be given the prose
cutOTs Office.
! In reply to Mr. Sims, 1t was argued
/ by Assistant States Attorney Arnold
! that In view of the fact that the key
contained the names of all property
owners who lease their property fol
immoral purposes, it was desired by
! the prosecutors Office so that evidenct
may be obtained on which prosecutions
may be based.
Judge Moran terminated the argu
ment by continuing the case until Mon
day, when, if the commission still Il
determined not to release the key
legal arguments would have to b,
made. States Attorney Wayman sen
