policeman or constable is Suspicious
of certain places but unable to secure
evidence tending to a conviction
County Asked to Investigate
Without discussing the accuracy
of these reports to the court all of
which are made under oath, it should
only be necessary to state that there
are houses of prostitution operating
openly and without fear of police
prosecution in the city of Harrisburg.
If the police do not know of the exist
ence of these places, then no further
evidence of their inefficiency need be
asked for; while, on the other hand, If
they do know of their existence and
state to the court tnaI no such houses
exist, 1t would seem that deception is
being practiced. In either case, there
is certainly cause for investigation on
the part of the prosecuting officials
OF the county with respect to these
reports.
These houses exist and operate in
the city because the police officials do
not attempt to suppress them. The
policemen witness their superiors
adopting policy toward a statute
which If any member of the force
adopted individually would make him
liable to dismissal at least That the
secure evidence against such places
and that they do no official act which
might in any way tend to prove they
were conscious of their existence, is
surely no defense for failing to sup
press places operated in direct viola
tion of the statutes. Wholly aside
from the fact that the municipal au-
thcrities have no more right to es-
tablish a policy as to the enforcement
of the vice statutes than they would
have to establish a policy with rela-
tion to any other of the criminal
statutes. efficiency can never be fully
attained while policemen are required
to countenance conditions which they
know to be illegal.
Policy of Suppression
Therefore, 1t is recommended that
the police officials be directed by
council to begin vigorous campaign
against the vice conditions which
exist in the city, and that the admin
istration adopt a policy of suppress
sion"
Civil Service Recommendations

of police, it is pointed. out that by
this method the best and most capa-

times when on duty, and he is urged

 ciency in County Affairs.

Vs E. Buror, expert accountant, who has been for some months auditing the records of Little River county, has made his report to W. T. Reynolds, state. comptroller, who in turn has made complete report to Judge Lon f. Jones of this county, and the com plete report is now on file at the clerks office, where it can be seen by all, 1, is neatly bound in ledger form and can be easily understood, or any section O. office can be readily referred to. It shows the county to ilaVe assets in the way of public inn Rroyements amounting to S129,O64 or, and that the assets are $S5,29675 in excess of the liabilities.
 The sta e comf.roller in his report says: ''The audit shows the county to be in flourishing condition, re- flecting efficiency in the administra- ing cs the county affairs and it's off cers cannot be complimented too high ly for their ability and business like administration.
 The audi or found some discrepen- cies, which he reported due to clerical errors which are impossible to elimi- nate in administering the affairs of a county whose business is so large and volumnicIs as that of this county. The discrepancies listed below have been looked into by the officers in whose favor or against whom they occurred The audit has charged A. T. Collins exec lee CT, with a balance due the coun'y for the year 1914 of $15S.4O; it has charged w. D. Waldrop, collectcr with ( balance due the county for 1916 of $195.52, and balance due the coun- ty for 1917 of $1680 76, while Chas. H Park, county and circuit clerk is charged up with the amount of $2S6. .66 S3.9O of which is a balance due on accounts and the remainder is by reason of duplication of a warrant.
 The county is coagraI .ulated in the rerort on its excellent condition, anl simply calls attention as is proper to any errors found, how they occurred and straightens out any kinks that may have been found in the bookkeep- ing of the various officials.

EXEMPTION BOARD
Town Crowded With Registrants Daily
 With QuestiOnaires.

Since the local exemption board be- gan sending out questionaires to reg istrants the lawyers offices have been busy scenes. Some 65 are mailed out each day and as each must answer in seven days or be automatically placed in class 1, there have not been many delinquents. The attorneys, who are doing this work free at the request of the government find that where there are dependents the registrants fail to bring them for supporting affidavits and have to return home for them. The dependent must appear in person, and this fact is not generally understood. As soon as the classification begins the News will report classes in which registrant has been placed.

BACK AT GIRL WIFE
Emporia Business Man Says
She Has "FriendS."
Answer to Divorce Petition
Filed in Topeka.

Irba Lee Fowler, a business man of
Emporia, does not want his girl wife
Edna Fowler, to get a divorce despite
the fact that he accuses her of keep
ing company with other men, and
today he filed an answer to her d.
vorce plea, in which he denies all the
principal allegations made by her and
in which he states that he is ready,

Edna Fowler, the girl wife, filed her
suit in the district court of Shawnee
county on August thru her next
best friend, Margaret ]. Hardesty, be-
cause she was under age and could
not get into the court on her own ac-
count. In this petition she accused
her husband with cruelty and drunk
enness and nonsupport.
Fowler in his answer which was
filed in the Lyon district court, denies
all of these charges and makes many
counter charges against ais wife, in
Guiding keeping company with other
men. Several incidents are cited in
the answer. He says that on July 4,
1917, she went to a dance at a park
near Emporia and danced with men
until a late hour at night and that on
another occasion she cam. to Topeka
with men he objected to and did not
return home until after 9 o'clock at
night.
He denies that he failed to support
her and says that he maintained credit
at two of the leading grocery stores at
Emporia and at a prominent meat
market. Also, he ASSERTS he gave her
money whenever he had it.
That his girl bride did not have a
sweet disposition on all occasions is
one of the charges made in his cross
petition.
Threw Coin Over Room.
He says that on July 8, 1917 he
asked her not to take money from his
pockets because he needed part of il
to pay a coal bill and that she be-
came so enraged she threw silver all
over the room and cursed him, calling
! him a - - fool and telling him
/ to go to a warmer climate.
He intimates that it got too warm
for him at home and says he attempt
[ ed to go out but that she caught him
by the shirt and tore it off, also tear
I ing off his underwear and sox and
| that he was compelled to remain and
| face the storm.
! Margaret J. Hardesty, the next best
friend thru whom the divorce petition
was filed, is accused in the cross petit
/ ton of being the principal factor In
Fowler household. In his answer
Fowler says that he and his wife were
getting along nicely until she came
into their lives along with Mrs. Fow-
ler's brother He says that the brother
came to his home a tramp, wore his
| clothes and then made threats against
| him and that finally he was forced tc
go into the civil courts to keep the
Hardesty woman and Mrs. Fowler's
