The vice.probing commi ttee that is

The vice. probing committee that is
touring the state seems to be finding
some undesirable conditions in a
number of the cities but their method
of conducting their examinations is
open to much criticism and objection.
Girls employed in stores and factories
are brought before the committee and
asked all sorts of plain and embar-
RAISING questions as to whether i'm.
moral conditions exist and whether
they are subjected to temptation upon
the part of their employers or male
fellow workmen and superintendent.
Reports say many girls rush from the
committee room with their faces
ablaze with embarrassment and in
dignation over some of the questions
asked. The com nittee is evidently
acting in good faith but with lack Of
discretion and consideration in it's
questioning as we'll as giving out for
publication the results of its investiga-
tion. The sensational stuff printed
concerning Lacrosse and Superior will
give those cities a black eye in the
minds Of the public and the reputa-
tion thus hung upon them it will
take long while to remove. It is
not fair to create the impression that
girls working in stores and factories
are any more immoral than other
girls and if it is really necessary to
60 about asking the sort Of questions
this committee is asking there should
be more care used in what is told
about it.

Paris, June 2S.-Jack Johnson still
holds the heavyweight championship
Of the world. In a hard fought battle
at the Velodrome oliver here Satur-
day he defeated Frank Moran of Pitts
burg, easily on points in the 20-round
contest. Moran was game and stub
born and stood up to the Negro. He did
most of the leading and made many
friends. The black mans superior
skill and mis- effective uppercutting
Wore down his opponent and Won the
match, which al times seemed rather
amateurish. Terrific uppercuts, on
which Johnson had relied in many of
his previous battles, were again
brought into play on his young adver
sary, who was unable effectively to
block them. They were repeatedly sent
to Moran's jaw when he least expected
them, and several times with such
force that the Pittsburger was sent
wabbling, but there was not a sin
gle knockdown or anything that looked
like finishing blow. At the close
Moran's face was bleeding from cuts
on the nose and under the left eye;
Johnson showed no marks.
Toward the middle of the contest it
appeared as if Moran would not go
the 20 rounds but he showed courage
anG kept driving. Although he landed a
number OF times on the Negro, his
blows lacked force and were compar-
atively ineffective. Now and then he
tried to land hard on his adversary,
and in SO doing swung widely through
space, Johnson being several feet
away.
Moran took his punishment we'll.
and during parts of rounds the Ne
gro toyed with him when he saw that
he could do so without danger.
Toward the end Johnson had the
Pittsburger absolutely at his mercy.
Moran apparently feared he would be
finished and chung to Johnson's body
for support trying at the same time
to land, but without success.
