panderer and the unspeaKable things
that are associated with him are go
ing to leave Chicago"
That is the most human thing
Mayor Harrison has said since l have
known anything about him. l have
my own opinions about vice and. its
cure, but don't know about segre-
cation as compared with scattered
and covered-up vice.
However, the mayor strikes at the
great difficulty in the regulation OF
prostitution through the police. When
police regulation is undertaken the
administration of law is placed in the
hands of the police, and whoever is
violating the law in the tenderloin, or
segregated district, is at the mercy
of the police. That leads to graft
which means that those who violate
the law pay policemen for the privi-
lege. Those who don't pay are liable
to arrest.
Protection of prostitution has led
to commercia1ized vice, and an army
of men have made their living, in one
way or another, by managing 1t and
the women engaged in it.
These men become part of the
political system and have seldom
been molested, although their slaves
have been arrested and fined.
When something happened to
bring the segregated district to public
notice policemen were made the
goats, although their superiors knew
that vice existed in their districts and
Winked at its existence.
If at any time Mayor Harrison had
taken the stand he nov takes openly,
his orders would have been obeyed.
The segregated district could have
been closed, every public house Of
prostitution closed and kept closed
and policemen would have kept out
of trouble.
Under the policy Mayor Harrison

Segregated Vice.-Mayor Harrison
has taken an open stand on segre-
gated vice and Roger Sullivan's can
didacy for U. S. senator, and has
stated his position better than it has
been stated by any of his lieutenants.
Concerning vice he says: 81 have
reached the conclusion finally that
my ideas of the vice question have
been wrong. For many years l did
not view segregation as an alarming
development in the treatment of the
problem. l have no hesitancy in sub
scribing now to the general indict-
ment of the segregation plan. Its
worst feature to me is the coTTupting
influence it exercises over the entire
law enforcing arm of the govern
ment. Segregation means protected
vice and you. can't have protected
vice without running the big risk of
seeing your law enforcing officials
corrupted. 4" Grating off these
pitiable features is unspeakable, and
at that it is but the first step in a
career that sinks deeper in infamy
very rapidly. The policeman who
takes this kind of graft will take graft
from pickpockets, thugs, gunner and
burglars. .-
Chicago is through with the seq
regated vice idea. Chicago, as I'M
derstand the situation, is ready to
fight every kind of crime and make
no exceptions. There is but one way
to fight crime and that is to fight it
honestly and unflinchingly and eter-
nally. ..-..
I'VE will never entirely eliminate
prostitution in Chicago, any more
than they will in any other large city
of the country. But we can reduce
it to the smallest minimum. We can
drive it under cover. We can keep
it off the streets and out of public

HARD YEAR FOR
MAJOR UMP|RES
Experience Difficulty in Keeping
Players Under Control

New York, July 11.-Are the UNI
pires in the American and National
leagues losing their control over the
players on the ball field? Recent de-
velopments in the big yard Indicate
that such may be the case.
Time was, not so very long ago,
when the word of the umpire was re-
garded as law. But not so this sea-
son. 1t is not TO be inferred that ma
jor league baseball today is marked
by the rowdyism that characterized the
game fifteen or twenty years ago. But
if the rough stuff that is being pulled
now is not checked by the powers
that be, the spectators may soon be
treated to a revival of the old knock
down-and drag out" stunts of yore.
Instances of Breaks.
No one connected with baseball
seems able to give an adequate eXpla
nation of the unusual strife that has
prevailed on the diamond this season.
And everyone appears equally at "a
loss to suggest u remedy. The system
of filming "a player appears to have lit

tie or no effect. Mr.. Player comes
right back for more spouting and more
fines. And the umpires are not slow
in slapping on a fine, either.
In a game at st. Louis the other
day the reserve players on the Pitts
burgh bench roasted Umpire KLEIN to a
turn. KLEIN warned them several
times. When they persisted in the
demonstration he fined nine of them
SO each and ordered them from the
grounds
Several days before the incident in
st. Lopis five of the Cincinnati Reds
and one member of the Cubs were
chased by the umpire in a game at
Chicago. And to add to the excitement
of the Chicago affair a fist fight was
started between a Cub and a Red but
fortunately the miXup was stopped be-
fore serious damage was done.
Discipline Needed.
Another example Of the strenuous
manner in which our national game is
being played in 1914 occurred recently
in Washington 1t was nothing more or
less than a forfeited game. Baseball
fans had forgotten that there ever
was such "A thing as forfeited game
in big league circles, but they were
wised up a bit by the action of the
Washington Senators in refusing to
play the Athletics and FORGETTING the
game.
Some critics are inclined to lay all
of the blame for this present day
rough stuff to incompetent umpiring,
but this is illogical. The umpires i'm
both the American and National
leagues are capable baseball officials.
Moreover, their work this season is
fully up to the standard of previous
years. The most of the arbters are
veterans i'm the business and il they
were backed up by the moguls as they
should be, then rowdyism in the big
yard would be out of fashion i'm Jig
time.
Unless the club owners and man.
ayers get busy enforcing the discipline,
another year may witness the good

going TO make tour of Paris and
Berlin and then return to his native
land to continue his ring career against
such opponents as the promoters Of

way into another match with the new
champion.
The American iutimated he will don
the gloves in his. home town in Sep

will be his opponent This unless he
can get another chance to regain his
title. Willie is still downcast over his
defeat. He says he is ready TO fight
Welsh again and vii bet upwards to
$4,000, but the match must be fought
in America. NO more of those Eng

any suspicion on Eugene Corrfs hon
esty," said Richie today.
II know CORR wouldn't do a wrong
thing for all the money i'm the world,
but his Judgment of an Americans
fighting ability and what constitutes
points in the boxing game are far
from right"
Just what Welsh will do isn't settled
as yet. but there is a strong inclina-
ton on his part TO play the music

the last. 1t is likely he won't fight
again for months.
