WlV SWU / i'll I'D
d street from 18th south, The Times said
yesterday, is again wide open redlight district.
In other words, Tacoma's lid is off,
Today we call attention to some more specific
facts in regard to the traffic. There is ample
proof for every one Of the assertions.
A careful canvass of d street and Court d
from 18th to 21st shows that there are 60 houses
used for immoral purposes.
At the northern end Of this district the unfor-
tunate women inmates are Caucasians. Toward
the southern end, negro women have the monop-
oily

PARENTHETICALLY, IS NOT TACO1A'S
foNhY BAWDY THORoUGHFARE.
There is at least ono private club" on a
street whore negro women are to be found and
whore gambling apparatus has been unloaded
Maybe when the police heard about It, they took
it for granted this paraphernalia was simply to
be stored in the building. At any rate they have
not raided it.
Then, at least one Pacific avenue hotel has
been used for immoral purposes This is one Of
the three buildings in which feeble bluffs at
raids recently were made by Tacomas finest.
BUT IF THREE RAIDS COULD BE PULL
ED OFF AND A DOZEN WOMEN MADE TO
PUT UP BAIL MONEY, WHY COULD NOT
DOZENS OF OTHER RAIDS HAVE BEEN
MADE AND HUNDREDS OF WOMEN
OBLIGED TO CEASE THEIR TRAFFIC
But to get back to D street.
Not all of the property, even within the limits
mentioned is being put to illegal uses
Decent people live in many Of the other houses.
Decent businesses are conducted in others.
But think Of the handicap they are under
Every time girl or woman member Of one o.
these decent families or a girl or woman Employ
of one Of these decent businesses passes along the
street. she is open to insult, if not liable to genu-
inc peril
Every decent woman and girl who lives in the
great hillside residence district beyond D street
and thus is forced to pass through it, is subject
to the same danger Every visitor to the mar
ket is forced to see more or less Of the CHASTITY
traffic.
Every boy and young man is menaced by the
evil.
Every piece of property in that entire part Of
town is deprecated in value in order that the 60
parcels may pay their occupants and some Of
their owners unholy dividends.
MIR. Tacoman, If you are not one Of these to
whom the moral issue, the menace to young
manhood and young womanhood, appeals, may
be you are one of those to whom the damage TO

DiffIey
Case To
Go Soon
To Jury

Judge Card today instructed
the Bertha Diffley jury that Mrs.
Diffley, as housekeeper in charge
of the children of Amos Hall,
would have the same authority
as a parent in Furnishing the Hall
children.
He cautioned the jury, how
ever, that neither parent nor
housekeeper had a right to deal
cruelty or in manner likely to
endanger the life, limbs or health
of the child, nor in a manner
likely to disfigure the child or
inflict permanent injury.
Four Possible Verdicts.
Four different verdicts are pos
sible under Judge Cards instruc-
tons: First degree murder, Sec
ond degree murder, manslaugh-
ter or mot guilty"
Former punishments of Clar-
ence Hall are not to be consider
ed except as the jury may use
them to determine whether Mrs.
Diffley entertained motive for
killing the lad.
III you find he had falls
shortly before his death and this
fact raises a reasonable doubt in
your minds as to whether his
death was the direct result of
cruelty on the part of the de-
PENDANT, you must consider It
your duty to find her not guilty.
he said.
Hall on Stand Again.
1t is probable the case will not
go to the jury before tomorrow,
as attorneys Arguments before
the jury will likely require more
time than this afternoon. II the
arguments are concluded before
this evening, the jury will at once
retire to consider its verdict.
Amos Hall. the father of Clar-
ence, was put on the stand this
morning and, under sharp cross
examination by Defense Counsel
Bone denied a graf part of the
conversation supposed to have
been carried on between Mrs.
Diffley and himself after the
funeral.
Attorney Comfort, associated
with Bone in the defense, related
a conversation between himself
and Hall, which took place after
the jury had been sworn, and
which In a measure refuted state
ments made by Hall.
Alice Rotchfort, Mrs. Diffley's
4-year-old grand daughter, testi-
fled for her accused grandmother
yesterday that she had herself
often been spanked as a repri.
mand for fighting with the Hall
boys. She told of the whipping
Of her playmate on the day he
died and of other circumstances
at the Hall home, substantially as
her grandmother had related
them.
