Frederick E. Hopkins sermon in
which he criticized the work of the
committee and also intimated that
he favored segregation.
Also the Church Federation Coun-
Gil passed resolution condemning
him for his talk:
"Mr. Hopkins is not up on the facts
regarding segregation, said Clifford
w. Barnes, president of the Commit
tee of Fifteen. Every commission
that ever investigated the question,
either in this country or abroad, has
reported that segregation is failure
and an incentive to graft.
eve do not expect to eliminate
prostitution, but we do expect to
make it very difficult to continue fla
grant exploitation of women. We will
cut off that $15,000,000 income of
the vice lords.
1--WE have gone into this fight for
blood We won't stop. Something
must give way. We have been at it
three years and we are going to con-
tinue.
eve tried the plan notifying the
owners that their agents were rent
ing their property for immoral pur-
poses. 1t was not satisfactory. We
then decided to publish the names
without notification.
1--WE are trying to prevent women
of the closed district from moving in
to respectable residence districts. We
try to make it more difficult for them
to lease property and we urge citi-
zens to inform us when such places
are found in residence districts We
can fight that condition if citizens
will cooperate with u.s.
!. Barnes may be right about the
publication of the names of the silk
stocking property owners in the red
light district.
But the committee hasn't accom-
plished very much with their ideas on

ceeded in scattering vice and placing
it next to respectable homes, where
in young children are being raised.
Women from the underworld are
soliciting openly all over the city.
They have secured some of the most
expensive flats on every side of the
town.
When the late John E. Wayman
raided the old redlight houses no
provision was made for the inmates
future. The result is that Chicago
now has concealed vice, which is in
finitely more dangerous than segre-
CATION. Under the latter system vice
is open where everyone can gaze up
on it and realize the evils of our
social system.
1t was ''Vic" Shaw who COMPOUNDED
jury of citizens of Chicago with her
naive question, You've driven us
hither and thither. Where are we to
go?" ...
And Vic Shaw should know. 1t was
she that ran the notorious Dearborn
street resort. Recently she was ar
rested for running disorderly fiat on
Wabash avenue. When arraigned be-
fore jury, she astounded them by
her plea: 49,
What are you going to do about
us? We've scampered all over the
city. And we do want to live. If we
want to live in new district we can
give false name and do anything
we wish in peace. If we give our right
name, however, we're bounded from
one place to1another."
The jury discharged the woman.

s,77o,o41 TREES IMPORTED
over Seven Tons of Tree Seeds
Bought From Europe This Year

Figures gathered by the federal
quarantine board of the department
of agriculture show that during the
past fiscal year 3,779,041 growing
trees and 5000 pounds of tree
seeds were imported into the United
States. The trees include, say the
members of the board, valuable spe-
cies that do not grow in the United
States and stock which can at pres
ent be bought more cheaply abroad.
The tree seeds imported are largely
fer the purpose of re-foresting land,
though in a number of cases they are
used in ornamental planting on in
dividual estates.
France leads in the number of
growing trees sent here, with total
OF 1,7S2,255. Germany is second,
with S49,245, and Holland third,
with 690,632. Imports are made
from 13 other countries, including
India, Japan and Australia.

chiefly evergreens, such as pines,
spruces and frs, and broadleaf
plants-oaks, naples, etc. The ma
jority is stock of foreign origin,
though in few cases cultiyators
abroad, through a special selection
of attractive forms of our native
trees have developed them to such an
extent as to make them desirable to
purchasers here.
Besides more than seven tons of
tree seeds, many thousands of
pounds pounds of seed of perennial
and annual plants, bulbs, and fruit
stock, as we'll as ornamental shrubs,
are imported. The greater part of
the tree seeds, or more than 1000
pounds, come from Germany.

however, has the option of taking
advantage of the new three-year
homestead law by paying for his land
