WOMAN LAWYER SAYS
VICE DENS NUMEROUS
Asserts She Can Point Out z
Dens in Which Girls Are
LlHed to Ruin

New York, June 1S.-The hand o1
the law reached out toward Italy from
here to draw back Alfredo Cocchi, the
Italian repair man, who is believed tC
have murdered and mutilated the long
missing Ruth Cruger, whose body
skull crushed and abdomen slashed
was found buried in the basement OF
Cocchi IS shop.
Three official investigations, one by
the police, one by the district attor-
ney s office and one by the coroner,
delved toward the bottom of one of
the most revblting crimes that has
ever shocked New York.
The wife and two friends of the
missing Italian were held in heavy bail
and thirtv-six witnesses were rounded
up to appear before the grand jury
probe of the case today.
Tte state department has cabled
italian authorities to hold Cocchi.
Mrs. Grace Humiston, the woman
lawyer, whose shrewdness led to the
finding of Ruth Cruger's body, today
hinted at an organized clique of pro-
curers and declared she knows the To-
cation of twenty-five other cellars
where high school girls have been
lured and ruined.
This statement, gives promise of a
shakeup IN the police department equal
to that following Police Lieutenant
Becker's conviction for the murder
of Herman Rosenthal, and the district
attorneys statement that he has suf-
ficient evidence upon which to try
Cocchi, were swift developments in
the case.
victims Are School Girls
''There are little, harmless looking
shops scattered all around some of the
high schools and public schools" said
Mrs. Humiston. "Loungers of the
most depraved type infest these places
and watch the girls going to and from
school. When a girl enters one of the
shops she is insulted There are other
cellars in New York holding secrets
just as hideous as the one Cocehi hur-
ried away to Italy from. But if l told
names and locations before my evil
dence is complete the criminals l want
wonld get away.
"New York does not yet realize how
systematize1 is the danger for the
girls who live in it.
''The public readily says, when a
girl disappears. it was as much her
fault as the man. IS. l know better.
"When a girl is insulted in one of
these places she usually broods over
the hor-or of it. Never would she tell
her parents, for she feels she is partly
to blame. Little by little, her seducers
batter down her moral stamina and
soon another girl is missing
"With the right sort of assistants L
could show you ease equal in horror
to that Of Ruth Cfnger's every month
in the year"
Discussing the case of the Cruger
girl. Mrs. Humiston expressed the be-
lief that she was attacked by more
than one degenerate. The autopsy re-
vealed what she termed "lust muir
der. ripper crime of the worst kind"
Examining physicians agreed with her.
Probably Ruth on her visits to the
shop or while passing it attracted
many men, said Mrs Humiston. 81
think there has been speculation and
plans abodt her.'

KAY AND CORDY WILL
DEBATE AMENDMENTS
Discussion To Take Place at
ArmOry Tomorrow Even
ing at 8 O'clock

The opening gun of the educational
campaign for the proposed amend
ments to the city charter to be voted
on July ., will be fired Tuesday even
ing at s O'Clock at the armory, when
the big questions to be submitted to
the voters Of the city will be debated
by Thos. B. Kay, state treasurer, and
Grant Ccrby. F. w. Steusloff, presi-
dent of the Commercial club will pre-
side.
The debate will be a discussion of
the proposition, Resolved, that the
measure known as the re-assessmeDt,
lien collection and reduction in remon-
STRANGE laws, should be passed by the
people OF Salem at the election to be
held july 90 Mr.. Kay viii speak on
the affirmative side and Mr.. Corby,
the negative. Mr.. Kay will have the
opening and closing address.
The three amendments to the city
charter to be voted on are briefly: The
right TO give the council lawful means
of re-assessing property for improve
ments where the assessment has been
not paid on account of legal technical
tiles. as shown in the South High and
South Commercial street cases, some
times known as the Albert and Fry
cases: the right to provide means of
enforcing assessments and making one
half of the people interested in an i'm
provement necessary on petition IN
stead of two-thirds, a rule of the ma
iority instead of two-thirds.
Mr.. Kay says, "Corby will be
afraid to meet me on the main issues
of the debate and viii try TO poison
the minds of the people on prejudice.
The city is now facing one of the
most serious crisis in its history. If
these measures do not pass, every
owner not on paved streets
will be compelled to pay for the other
fellow Is improvements 1t is absolute
Iy unfair. These measures will make
If possible to re-assess Twelfth and
High streets so that the City may col
leet for the paving. 1t will also make
the collection of all liens on
property which have not been paid and
as it now stands we all pay taxes TO
cover the interest on the street assess
ment not paid to date. The measure
also reduces the percentage necessary
to defeat any street improvement from
66 2-3 per cent TO so per cent. be-
lieve these measures are fair in every
way and / am interested in them for
the GOOD of the city. 1t will mean
actual bankruptcy if they fail TO pass.
Every home owner owes 1t TO hlmselr
to make a thorough stndy of condi-
