SEGREGATION
ONLY REMEDY
SAYS OFFICER

Declaring that the authorities in
closing every house on notorious Bar
barry coast and passing out the order
to keep moving had spread vice in
San Francisco, Thomas Regain, of the
police department of that city, stated
yesterday that the only way in which
the vice question can be handled is
b. segregation.
Since the upheaval 1400 women
have been scattered in San Francisco. 1t
is impossible to keep supervision over
vice when it is spread over a city
no one knows where | doubt very
much if the keep moving order will
force these women to abandon their
trade.
The club women of San Francisco
who stood behind Reverend Paul
Smith. who started the crusade for the
purpose of the enforcement of the red
light law, opened an employment Of
flee for these women wnen they were
driven from the Barbary Coast. r.
order that 1t might not ne a haunt of
curiosity seekers and that it might be
solely for the good of the evil women
no address was given ana help was
proffered over the telephone. Five out
Of the 1900 women awaited themselves
Of the opportunity to lead better lives
via this route.
AT ten O'clock in the morning the
women of the Barbary Coast We're
given marching orders. At six that
same evening the famous resort was
closed. Il was all very orderly" says
Regain.
Reverend Paul Smith put a crimp
in San Francisco" continued Regain. as
he spoke of the wave of reform that
has swept over the wickedest city in
the United States"
F.. No longer does milady dance at the
smart cafes in the afternoons No
longer does her less fashionable sister
enjoy a one-step at a beach resort.
After q careful investigation by the
authorities it was discovered that too
many married women were acquiring
the habit and were neglecting their
home duties for gay cafe life Dancing
in afternoons was taboo. 1T is still
permitted in the evenings when friend
husband" has time to accompany his
frivolous wife.
But they stiil do it. according to
Regain. who claims that something
like $1,000 people went out to San
Mateo in one afternoon to dance.
You can't work reform in a day"
charges the official who believes won-
en- bit too radical in this matter.
Among the other reforms contem-
plated in California at present is a
liquor law. The bill is now before the
legislature and is only semi prohibit
ton 1t allows u per cent of alcohol
in beverage. 1t is believed by many
that the bill pending will pass and that
the wine growers in California are all
that saved" the state when the ques-
ton came before the people.
Regain came to Phoenix for extra
dition papers for John Wainwright.
which were signed by Governor Camp
bell yesterday. Wainwright who is
being held at Ajo. is wanted in San
Francisco for robbing the safe of the
Hale hotel of $500. He was a clerk at
the hotel.

DEFENDS TITLE
AS POOL CHAMP

There is no unseating Walker Till
cry. He IS the crowned champ of
everything and everyone pertaining to
the green covered and chalk covered
pocket billiard table, commonly called

There have been several assaults
on his ability 20 take them all on and
best them as they have never been
baten before. Last night at Doyle's
academy of pool and billiards. Tillery;
took on a stranger by the name Of
Clarence White, who hangs his hat
in Colorado. when he is home.
The two decided to play for the
championship OF the state using the
convenient hundred point game TO
decide the contest. The crowd which
taxed the capacity of that well known
emporium, STOOD on its tiptoes, and
saw a regular straight pool game.
Tiilery was master of his cue all the
time, pulling off some remarkable
shots and demonstrating that a
liberal education in the cue game is
needed before his crown will be re-
moved. His high run was As, while
the best that White could do in thar
line was mere 20. The final score
was 100 to So

cincts. One ballot in each OF three

Of 145 in the g. completed precincts.
In the precincts referred to as COM
pleted, all ballots have been counted
and ruled upon, but it still remains
with the contestant (HunD to furn-
ish proof as to the integrity of the
ballots. Inasmuch as the number of
ballots counted in numerous pre-
cincts throughout the state is either
more or less than the number of
names on the Doll books it is belev-
ed that the problem of explaining this
discrepancy will be difficult one.

JACK WHITE LEAVES
To CONQUER COAST

Jack White. of Pittsburg. who
claims the light weight championship
of Arizona has decided to shake the
dust of Arizona from his feet. Or
rather he has cor1e to the conclusion
that the laws of the sunshine state

not suit his peculiar temperament. and
that the best place for him is in
California.
White has been doing fairly well
around Phoenix. He has entered the
squared circle at least six times since
he first wandered in and from all
available records. he has either won
~ points or by the X. o. route.
