sounded another gong in attempt.
iEg to make some of the local vio-
lators Of the law sit up and take
notice. This time. If all of the in
formation is true, 1t will notbe the
violating of any local ordinance, but
will be the violation of the laws OF

the Mann white slave act. The two
men in question, sent here upon the
invitation Of local people, are men
recognized as the best in their pro-
fession, and lately received some
fame for the wonderful work they
accomplished in the city of Chi

the Federal officers, through the To-
cal police department, he stated to-
LAY that with the material fur
nished by the local department it
should be very easy to make several
convictions in this city within a very
short time. Lists of all men who

of those who have been known to
have accepted money from women,
have been furnished to the depart
nent of Justices special agents b.
