In those houses seven hundred thousand dol

of sufficient girls to supply the trade
An annual rental of sixty thousand and
dollars had been paid the landlords.
The closed doors marked the end
To-day, the white SLAYER can not sell his meal

It's doors and windows are boarded up.
And its former denizens know of no place in
Atlanta where under police protection trapped girls
can be bought and sold.
Who then is complaining of Atlanta's mmor-
