Chicago, April 14-Spectacular
raids on two fashionable downtown
cafes threw several hundred midnight
revelers into panic and brought into
the notice of Illinois white slave prob
ers a score of witnesses from the so
called society element
Cafe goers, faces flushed with wine,
were intercepted as they whirled and
glided in the tango" turkey trotted"
TO seductive and dreamy music, served
with subpoenas by special investiga-
tors for the commission and hurried
away to the Hotel La Sale to tell
what part the fast life played in the
social evils.
Cabaret players were ordered to don
something else besides pink tights and
appear before the commission at once.
Managers of Rectors and other cafes
that were raided were likewise served.
Two marriel women from Peoria,
on an automobile stunning tour,
went into Mysteries when investigators
ordered them with their male COM
panions to climb into an automobile
and proceed to the Hotel La Sale. A
woman of another Summing party
leaped through the window of the cafe

district
Women Beg for Release.
Women in cafes and "red light" dis
trict all night restaurants fell on their
knees and begged the investigators to
permit them to go. Men waved hands
full of bills and pleaded to be given
their freedom. officers who aided
the investigators, blocking doors, held
back weeping, cursing crowds, while
the investigators hurried witnesses
into a small army of automobiles and
into a room where the hearing was
held.

offset the lack of training and eXpe-
rience gained by long service as Il
judge of that court? We do not
think so.
Do the people OF Vermont want to
make the chief justice of the supreme
court the creature OF any man and
removable at his pleasure. The same
law that gave Gov. Fletcher the right
to remove public service commission
ers would give him the right to re-
move his appointee even were he
judge of our highest and last court OF
appeal
Gov. Fletcher has shown that he is
liable to be swayed by impulse and
to act hastily. Perhaps other gov
errors may be likewise so affected.
We do not believe that he will
add to his reputation by failing to dc
his plain duty, when the time comes
and reappoint all judges, etc. if the
legislature fails to regulate this mat
ter at the cocming special session.
Unless we very much mistake the
temper of the people, when the legis

of the first things that it will do, will
be to amend the public service com.
