LEGISLATION DEMANDED
TO ABOLISH Filming WOMEN

CHICAGO, May 30.-Legislation to
abolish the present system OF filming
girls arrested on the street, or in
c, orderly houses, will be demanded
of the Illinois legislature by members
Of the Chicago welfare commission.
They would wipe out the fine system
and empower the new morals court to
serd girls to the house of correction
for vocational training.
at is an evil practice to fine girls
and then put them under still further
obligation to the men who are living
off them," said Miss Julia Lathrop,
head of the National Child Welfare
bureau at Washington, who addressed
members of the commission. 1.-THE
city treasury receives the money these
girls have earned through sin and
they go out and repeat the crime to
make up for the loss"

MEMORIAL UNVEILED
FOR VICTIMS OF MAINE

NEW YORK, May 30.-Two nations
the freed and the liberator-today
paid honor to the heroes who died
on board the battleship Maine when
tnat ship was blown up in Havana
harbor at 9:40 on the evening of Feb.
10, 1898. The occasion was a me-
mortal service and ceremonies attend
ant upon the unveiling of the National
Maine monument at the Fifty-ninth
street and Broadway entrance to Cen
trail park.
One thousand Cuban sailors from
the warship Cuba; 10000 United
States sailors from the ships of the
North Atlantic fleet which came here
especially for the OCCASION; the Sixty
ninth regiment, First Regimental cav
airy and the naval militia of the New
York state militia and several Span
ish war veterans associations took
part in one of the greatest naval and
military parades New York has seen
in years. Starting from Fortieth
street and Fifth avenue the troops
proceeded to Fifty-ninth street, thence
down Fifty-ninth street to Broadway,
up Broadway to Sixty-sixth street and
thence east into Central park. Here
the troops and sailors countermarch-
divisions simultaneously appeared sur
rounding the monument. In the re-
viewing stand were Governor Sulzer
of New York, Governor Haines of
Maine, Mayor Gaynor and other city
officials, Rear Admiral Charles Sigs-
bee, who was captain of the ill-fated
Maine at the time Of the explosion,
and Father John Chadwick, chaplain of
the old Maine.
With the troops banked about the
monument and standing at parade
rest, addresses were made by the
prominent guests. Directly back of
the monument were the two groves of
trees planted by Park Commissioner
Slower as a part of the Maine me-
mortal. To the left in the rear of
the monument had been planted one
scarlet oak for each ship which was
under command of Admiral Dewey at
the battle of Manila bay. Just oppo-
site these trees was grove of red
oaks, one for each of the ships un-
der the command of Adnirals Schley
and Sampson at Santiago harbor. AS
background for the monument and
the town "oak tree fleets" grove of
pin oaks had been planted to repre-
sent each battleship in the present
United States navy.
