Chicago, Dec. IA young woman

Two weeks ago she was dismissed

INT RASTATE MANN
LAW IS ADVOCATED
Wine Rooms, Automobiles and
Poorly Lighted Parks Blamed
For Social Evil By Wis
Consin Investigators.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 7.-Together
With the use of Intoxicating liquor,
poorly lighted parks and lack of pub
lie amusement and recreation facili-
ties, the automobile vas held as one Of
the greatest contributory causes of
comnlercialized vice in a report filed
today with the secretary of state by
the legislative vice committee. The re-
port was the work of Is month"; invest
lgation and proposes radical changes
in law enforcement and sociay condi-
tons.
The committee found that the wage
question has no material relation to
conlmercialiZed vice. The greatest
cause of commercialized vice. the re-
port says is the use of Intoxicating
liquor. Among contributory causes
given are public dance halls, road
houses, lack of responsibility by par
ants, non-enforcement OF laws by pub
lie officials.
Among the recommendations of the
committee are:
That a law similar to the Mann act,
applicable between cities, villages ana
towns OF the state, be enacted.
That policewomen be appointed in
every city.
That employers of domestic servants
be required to furnish them with a
suitable room in which to receive COM
pany.
That a morals court be established
in cities of the first class, with ex-
elusive jurisdiction over all cases in
volving moral offenses. That a rural
nome for women be established. to be
equipped with hospital facilities for
the treatment of social and other dis
eases and that women convicted of
immoral practices be committed there
to for treatment and training.
That q permanent state police de-
partment be established, with power to
investigate immoral practices, the rea-
sons for non-enforcement of law in all
communities and with power to en-
force the law where local officers fail
to do so.
That the ale of liquor be prohibited
within or in connection with dance
halls.
That family entrances and private
wine rooms be prohibited in saloons
and that no connection be had be
tween them and any other rooms,
above or contiguous.
That public dance halls procure H.
censes, such dances to be supervised
by a policewoman or other competent
officer.
That all hotels, rooming and lodging
| ouseS be required to secure license:
that they keep permanent registers OF
the lame of all guests TO be signed in
their own handwriting, the registers tc
| show the hour of assignment of rooms
and their surrender, with penalties fol
using fictitious names.
That ONE be on the board OF mana
| gers of all institutions to which wom-
! en- or children are committed.
That in cities of the first three class
es, special classes for subnormal chill
! dren be established in the public
schools. and that. where necessary the
state furnish free text books, meals
and clothing to needy children, to make
compulsory education effective.
That municipalities provide super
vised arnusements, particularly con
certs. moving picture shows. etc.
That the number of hours of labor
for domestic servants be fixed by law

GIRL ACCUSED OF
BRIBERY ATTEMPT
Jessie Cope Arrested Follow
ing Indictment of Charles
Alexander, Millionaire
Poet Lover.

Chicago, Dec. miss Jessie Cope,
complainant in the white slave indict-
ment against Col. Charles Alexander, a
millionaire of Providence. r. L., was ar
rested here this afternoon on a charge
of attempted bribery.
1t is charged that Miss Cope, whose
home is said to be in Los Angeles, Of
fered to share $4,000 with federal Of
ficials if they would aid her in extor-
ting that sun from Colonel Alexander.
Michael Igoe, a former membe of
the Illinois Legislature at present
first assistant in the office of the Uni
ted States district attorney, is said to
scheme in order to obtain evidence.
His testimony is said to have formed
the basis for her arrest.
Miss Cope was aiken into custody at
a down town hotel by L. G. Wheeler,
a special agent Of the department Of
justice.
Chicago, Dec. 6--Ihe means by
! which Miss Jessie Cope became the
alleged recipient of money and other
valuable gifts at the hands of Col.
Charles Alexander, as we'll as Miss
Cope's charge of white slavery
against the Providence, r. L., million
aire, who was indicted here yesterday,
will receive the attention of federal Of
ficials.
Charles F. Cline, United States dis
trict attorney here, would not discuss
the case today. 1t was learned, how
ever, that Alexander met Miss Cope in
California two years or more age at
which time she lived in the Hillman
; apartments. 1910 Ingraham street, Los
Angeles.
The Mann act, under which Alexan-
der was indicted, has been accused by
lawyers and judges all over the coun-
try, of opening a channel for blackmail
No charge of this character has beer
made against Miss Cope, but lawyers
in the cas- admit hat as a matter of
course Alexander's alleged gifts to the
complainant and the circumstance
which led her TO make charges against
him, VIII receive the most careful
scrutiny.
Alexander. who is a member of a
prominent New England family and
is 62 years old, was arrested in Provi-
dence on an information charging him
with violation of the Mann act in
transporting Miss Cope about the
country and establishing her in a bung-
allow in the Berkshires.
Miss Cope, who is half the age OF
Alexander, and whose family is said
by federal officials to be prominent so
ciety people in California. is under sur

But that was not to be for me.
On the morning of Holy Wednes-

TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.
Sixteenth Chapter-Continued

Perhaps my childish heart was stir
red by vanity in all this, for I remem-
Der that ladies in beautiful dresses
would crowd to the bronze screen that
separated us from the public and
whisper among themselves, which
is she?" THE little one in the green
scarf with the big eyes," God bless
her!"
But surely It was a good thing that
at length life had begun to have a
certain JOY for me, for as time went
on I became absorbed in the life Of
the convent, and particularly in the
services of the church, so that home
itself began to fade away and when
the holidays came round and excuses
were received for not sending for
me, the pain of my disappointment
became less and less until at last K
disappeared altogether.
II ever a child loved her mother ]
did. and there were moments when
/ reproached myself with not think
ing of her for whole day. These
were the moments when a letter
came from Father Dan, telling me
she was less well than before and
her spark of life had to be coaXed
and trimmed or it would splitter OUT
altogether.
But the effect Of such warnings
was wiped away when my motaer
