"When we come to investigate mat

tration because it is the most diff
cult place to reach from the twin
cities, as well as other towns in south
ern Minnesota, are paying a freight
rate that is far too high on every
thing they ship and everything they
buy at the present time. If Iowa
freight rates were applied in Mime

wheat to Minneapolis at $50 cents a
hundred where he now pays 10 cents.
He could ship his corn and barley to
the twin cities at rs cents where

is to build up such places as Albert

Police Head

Aid. Eddie" Barnett, said to be a
man of much influence in the local
tenderloin district, processes to be
really sorry for his frienu, the police
commissioner.
John Gillespie is making an aw-
full mistake" sighed Barnett, as he
discussed the vice crusade, Monday
morning. Johns q nice fellow and
he wants to do what is right, but he's
ON the wrong track In this vice cru
sade.
There amt chance to eliminate
organized vice in Detroit, and John
Gillespie knows it. Have they sue
ceeded in other cities where they have
tried elimination? They will tell you
that they have closed the disorderly
houses, but they don't tell you that
they have driven the women out Of
the tenderloin district into the resi-
dence districts, and that they are
having q deuce of time trying to
weed them out. In very few of the
cities where the elimination order
has been put into effect. have the po-
lice authorities succeeded in closing
all the disorderly houses.
81 understand that women In the
Detroit tenderloin districts have pur.
chased valuable pieces OF residence
property In various parts of the city,
and they are prepared to defy the po-
lice to put them out Of business In
the new locations"
What Barnett says about the wom-
en- of the tenderloin buying residence
property outside the half-mile- circle
Is true to some extent. A house on
Elizabeth-st. was sold recently to a
notorious woman. She paid $4,000
for the property. A number of dive
keepers own property on Champlain-
st. and FOrt-st. west They will re-
sist the police commissioners orders
to oust them and they will test his
authority In the courts, q fund having
been subscribed to several weeks ago
to engage counsel.
According to Commissioner Giles
pies orders. every disorderly house
in the city known to the police, must
be closed up Wednesday night, Oct.
Is. The commissioner says he is
positive his closing order will be
obeyed and that the police will have
no trouble In roofing out the evils of
organized vice.
