took their coats off and few mo-
ments later the police, who had been
tipped off by the investigators, raid
ed the place.
This is in violation Of a Supreme
court ruling, says ErBstein, which
says that when an officer aids and
abets violation the defendant can
not be found guilty.
1t is also rumored around the city
hall that civil service investigation
. OF the squad is contemplated. Many
complaints have been made recently
of the squad breaking down doors,
etc., to gather evidence.
One of the FunkhOuser men COM
monty known as t1'Frenchy," a rather
handsome foreigner with a pleasant
smile, had a habit which aided him in
gathering in the women of the
streets.
'Frenchy" used to stand on a cor
ner on N. Clark st with a bag of pea
nuts in his hand.
According to many of the women
arrested he would speak to them
softly as they passed.
Have peanut, girl" he would
say.
If the woman had any idea of do |
ing anything wrong the way was now
clear. 'Frenchy'' would ask her if |
she wanted drink and when they |
started on their way to a saloon he |
would place her under arrest.
Twice in one day an unfortunate
told Judge Goodnow that she 'ehad |
been bad but was trying hard to do |
right. She had resisted temptations
Of many sorts until this chance
showed itself" Then the way was
made so easy she had fallen.
Investigator Steele trapped a girl
in her Michigan av. home after he
had known her four years.

South Chicago. Don't you remem-
Der me?"
The woman may or may not, but
chances are that she'll let "Mr.
Smith" come up to find out whether
she does or not.
"Mr. Smith" sits around the house,
may manage to take his coat off and
stalls" until the officers break in and
arrest the women. Letting a strang-
er take his coat off is evidence
enough to draw a fine in the morals
court.
And Sergeant Randall of the NOR
ais squad, with his flowing black silk
tie, has caught many women. Ran
dali dresses very carefully and quiet
ly. The tie makes him appear to be
an artist or professional man.
And the women bite.
One unfortunate, caught. by the
sergeant, cried when she told the
Judge that Never in the world would
have taken him for a police officer.
1 thought he was just an ordinary
man and l could spend the evening
with him. There was nothing wrong"
YES" declared Judge GoOdnOw,
''he does look rather like an artist and
I can understand how you would
mistake him for a professional man."
This woman was fined $50 and
costs and tried to commit suicide by
jumping from the court window. She
was caught in time.
