RICH GIRLS IN
AN IMMORAL
LIFE, He SAYS

CHICAGO. June f7.-Deiegates
here in attendance at the General
Federation OF Women's clubs con
vention were much aroused over the
statement made by Geo. Kneeland,
the New York vice investigator, In
an address before the gathering
Tuesday. to the effect that he had
a Hat OF 900 girls belonging to rich
families who were secretly practic-
ing immortality.
Yesterday was the first time |
ever discussed this subject public
IT," said Kneeiand.
Warns His Hearers
One women's club refused me
permission TO tell It's members the
truth.
But warn you club women to
look out for your own daughters.
and the daughters OF the other re-
spectacle women in your cities.
"The girls on my list are not
weak minded or sub-normal, either.
Most OF them 20 wrong from spirit
OF rebellion against the dullDess or
strictness OF their home life.
They Turn TO Strangers
"They generally turn TO strang-
ers. They seem innocent on cas-
ual acquaintance, but in the close
personal contact OF modern dances
they lose control Of themselves.
Il sent an inspector to my homo

found a number of girls OF Is or 10.

DOCKS and DEP0TS
new PORT PROJECT

the council as soon as the scheme
Is complete.
The port commission proposes 10
take over the colman and Grand
Trunk Pacific docks, and rebuild
them into an immense marine
union depot"
In tho even, that this should fail.
they will remodel tho new port dock
at tho foot OF Boil St TO TT their
needs.
Won't Dump EN- on Tracks
They propose, by the elevated
road. to route municipal street cars
along the water front and carry all
passengers from Sound steamers
up town, instead OF having them
dumped from the steamers Into the
mud and danger OF the railroad
tracks, at the city's back door. as Is
done now.
Bob Bridges, n member OF the
commission, figures the elevated
would be an extension OF the propos-
ed municipal line from Fourth nv.
down Washington ST.. on the depot
loop.
Would Run on Western Av.
The elevated tracks would cross
First av. on Washington ". and
proceed down the west side OF West.
ern av. % the municipal wharf.
This would necessitate the coun-
ellis vacating several old franchises
granted the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern for tracks along
that section OF the water front when
the depot was at Columbia st. and
Western av.
The tracks are now only used for
storage purposes. and In measure
are a menace.
Tho municipal line would thus
handle tho majority of marine pas
sengers entering the city.
Similar to Frisco Project
Hauling these uptown. IL would
deliver them TO rival companies on
transfer basis.
Similarly. these companies would
deliver all outgoing passengers to
the municipal line.
The project Is similar TO the ter.
minus at the foot Of Market ST.. In
San Francisco.
The elevated road will bs neces.
sary eventually" says Bridges, for
Il will never be possible to build n
car line on grade on Western av."
