BEAVERS ELATED
OVER CAPITALS
RESORT BAN
Predicts That Within Five Years
Every City in u. S. Will Be
Without Vice District.

Police Chief Beavers was elated
Tuesday over the action of Congress
in closing the recognized vice district
in Washington, and made the unqual-
flied prediction that open and com
mercialized vice will be wiped out Of
every city in the United States with
in five years.
The Chief regards the action of
Congress as one of the greatest steps
yet taken toward nationwide reform,
and said it's effect would be felt
throughout the whole country.
This action certainly will give the
promoters of vice something TO study
about" he said. They'll probably
come to the conclusion that fansti-
cism is spreading over the country
with remarkable rapidity, and that
the people of the nation have sent a
lot of fanatics to Washington to rep
resent them. Fanaticism seems about
the only term these vice advocates
can find to apply to the effort to pro-
tect girls and stop this infamous traf-
fic"
Chief Beavers declared that the
closing of the houses In the nations
Capital by the national lawmaking
body itself is conclusive that the war
on vice is a success and that the
pendulum will never swing back" as
has often been predicted.
when these houses are closed, they
will stay closed-that's all there Is to
it, said the Chief THE people of the
whole nation have become aroused to
the peril of commercialized vice. and
it is my conscientious belief that
within five years there will not be a
recognized district of vice in the
whole of the United States"
1t Is the general belief that the
movement against open vice in
Washington was given an impetus
last June by the discussion of he
subject in the annual convention Of
the chiefs of police of the nation, held
in that city. Chief Beavers delivered
an address before the convention, cit
ing the methods of the war in At
lanta.
