Rev. HansOn's Date Did Not
Reveal Evidence.

of business certain houses on lower
Kansas avenue which have been al
legged to be white slave trading posts,
according to testimony offered in To-
cal courts by the Rev. Robert Cor
don, Rev. Theodore Hanson and 9TH
ers, met discouragement anew this
morning when a jury in the court of
Topeka declined to eject Kate Heit-
man from rooms at 326-328 Kansas
avenue.
A provision of q new law makes
possible the election of tenant who
uses premises for immoral purposes,
in just the same way as If the tenant
refused to pay rent. But it is up to
the landlord to prove the immoral
conduct.
The property in question belongs to
Joseph and Susan Groll. They have
been made the object of Injunction
proceedings now pending in the dis
trict court to prevent the use of the
place at 326-328 as a bawdy house.

ton proceedings the Grolls became

witness stand to testify that he had

pose of making a date" As his tes-
timony did not reveal any improper
