"Any mother who values the well
fare of her girl would not allow her to
work in a loop department store.
They are not SAFE" declared Asst
States Atty Rob't Hogan today. Ho-
gan, in the juvenile court, uncovered
a white slave gang which lured al
most dozen store girls since Novem-
Der.
"Most loop sales girls are too
young. They are tempted too much
by things they see and people they
meet. l want to warn mothers now.
"The cheaper stores are worse than
the so-caIled higher class ones, but
they are all bad for girl who can be
tempted by fine clothes, money or
good time
"The Fair and Siegel-C ooper's have
figured in several of our delinquent
girl cases recently. But the Boston
Store has contained the most per-
nicious white slave gang that we have
discovered in years.
every girl of the half dozen that
was brought into the juvenile court
told the same disheartening story.
She wanted clothes, pretty things
and money to spend.
when all these were offered her
she took them. The price she paid
was a dear one; the punishment Bit
ter.
Every mother whose girl works
on State street will say: Not my
girl. Oh, 1 don't worry about her.
She couldn't go wrong But the
mother of every girl caught in the
wise of the shaving gang which we
have cornered thought the same
thing.
zone mother grew suspicious of
her girl when she started staying out
nights. The girl worked in the Bos-
ton Store. When we took her into
my Office she told us what happened
to her. Not until then did this trust
ing mother imagine what the Boston

GIRLS WARNED AGAINST LOOP SLAVE GANG
WARRANT FOR BOSTON STORE SODA CLERK

N STOKE SODA CLENh
"a meeting was arranged with a
couple of fellows in cabaret. The
girl ate, drank and danced-and the
work of the plotters was easy. After
she had fallen for the first time every
one of the six men in the bunch pos
sessed her. Then she was passed
along to another swell crowd, which
hired rooms by the week in the Sara
toga hotel just for store girls.
"This girl told us the names of the
whole bunch. We arrested three fell
lows and swore~ out warrants for
three more. One of these, Julius Levy
of 1851 w. 18th ST., went to the Bride
well for a year. The other two ar
rested were indicted and are held in
bonds.
"Six girls, all former State street
shop girls who had slipped down the
same path with the first girl, were
taken into custody. We are trying to
give them a chance where they are
sure to get one.
""The latest angle in the case is the
discovery of fellow who used to ar
range some of the dates for the girls
who succumbed to the temptations
they met while working behind coun-
tiers.
1--WE have a warrant out for him.
He was a soda fountain clerk in the
Boston Store, and when the girls
came to buy from him he told them
of faIIo1ur Iuho would like tn mhpt
them some night
with his arrest and the proseGu-
ton of those the police are now after,
this gang will be wiped out of exist
ence. But while conditions are the
same, other punches can work with
ease along State street"

AUSTRIAN EMPEROR DIES

London, November % (S:41 a. MI
Emperor Francis Joseph, Of Austria,
died last night at nine o'clock at
Schoenbrunn Castle, according to a
Reuter- dispatch from Vienna, by way
o. Amsterdam.
The death of the Emperor was ex-
pected. He has been confined to his
bed for some time and recent bulle-
tins from his bedside bore the news
to a sympathetic populace that he was
sinking fast
The illness that preceded the EN-
peror's death demonstrated that the
aged man was vigorous despite his
many years, as fact which did not
make easy the labors of his physicians.
Until his death, the patient was In
ciined to disobey orders laid down for
him, insisting, for instance, on giving
daily audiences, some of them lasting
an hour. Monday Premier Won Koer-
Der was with the Emperor an hour.

Wing NET
Found IN River Near South Ripley Last
summer Proves to BE Rather
Costly to Owner-Is Fined
S25 and Costs.

In Squire Bauers Court yesterday
morning Arthur Adkins of Covington
was fined $25 and costs for fishing with
wing net in the Ohio River on the
Kentucky side Adkins is a mail car
rier in Covington.
The prosecution brought out the fact
that Deputy Game Warden Sidwell Of
South Ripley, while passing down the
river in his motorboat one day
last summer ran into a net with
his boat and the propeller became en-
tangled in the net. Going on down the
river a short distance he met Adkins
Gill Edwards, Edwards son and anoth-
err man in a boat He remarked to them
that he had run into the net and asked
where he could find the owner as he
wished to pay for the damage done.
Adkins replied that he had had the net
out only a few days and had just fin
ished making repairs on the same. Mr..
Sidwell then informed them that he
was a deputy game warden and for the
men to consider themselves under ar
rest The man endeavored to pass II
off by saying that the net belonged to
young Edwards and that he had merely
made some repairs in IL for the hey.
Adkins said that for the past fifteen
years he had been coming every sum
mer OF the place and had never vio-
lated the law in anyway. He said that
at the time he was arrested by Sidwell
that he was not using the net himself
but had merely repaired it for Ed
wards
Adkins was re-arrested by Constable
James Mcnamara in Covington on last
Friday for the offense.
Adkins will appeal his case to the
next term of the Mason Circuit Court
The trial of Gill Edwards for the
same offense will be held on next Mon
day before Squire Bauer.

lucky day. according to astrolo-
gers. Saturn, Venus, and the Sun all
combine to aid mortaIs.
Women have the prognostication of
large activities and gradual success in
ambitious enterprises. Their organiza-
tions should become exceedingly powerful.
The seers predict for women en-
larged scope of work and new respon-
sibftities. The wage problem will be
much discussed in the coming year,
when competition will increase greatly
in the humber vocations.
This should be a lucky day for seek
ing employment or obtaining indorse-
ment for any enterprise either personal
or public
The aged have a kindly guidance to-
day, when they should feel a stimu-
lating power.
Mining has a most encouraging sign.
Arizona, Oklahoma, and Montana come
under the good influence. The dis
covery of vast ore bodies is persistent
ly predicted.
Storms that may damage crops are
prognosticated and floods may do
damage.
Agriculture has the best promise for
the summer, but large prices rather
than abundant crops will bring profit.
Congress continues under a sway
making for changes and surprises in
the autumn elections, owing to the
often predicted breaks in party loyal
ty.
Disappointment for men long ambi-
tious to rule the nation is prophesied,
as several who have been public idols
have the augury of failure in high
ambitions.
Canada has the prognostication of
dramatic events. Court procedure that
will attract world notice is Indicated
Public men should guard their inter-
ests.
Accidents of unusual character are
probable during the summer. The
death OF a wealthy young man in an
aeroplane disaster is foreshadowed
Persons whose birthdate it is have
a happy outlook for the year. Steady
prosperity is predicted. The young
will court or marry.
Children born on this day will find
life pleasant, the seers declare. These
subjects of Gemini probably viii win
wide respect and admiration by. ster-
ling qualities of character.
