cd lost" said Capt. Patterson.

In the rush for saloon sites everything
in entire blocks were taken over and
other lines were scrapped. As a result
the town today has a few scattered gro
cory stores and hfty-one closed saloons
which will probably mean that many
vacant rooms soon.
While there was disorder last night,
il at no time became serious. There
were fights. but the streets were SO
packed that they didn't amount to much
\ drunk needs lots of room TO fight.
Then the crowd generally put an end 10
hostilities by jamming the combatants'
hats down over their eyes or surgfng
between them separating them hope

than once in that crush.

WHITE SLAVE
 IS THREATENED
Youthful Mollie Lewis Un- able to Tell Story Be-
 cause of Fright

New York, April 1o-Terrifed by Threats, Mollie Lewis refused to tell her story yesterday at the opening of the trial of "Curley'' Joe Bennett, al- ! legged white slaver," in the General Sessions Court.
 Several times the girl, who is com plainapt became hysterical In court and sobbed violently. Torn between her desire, to relate her story, and the fear of death, she finally lost her nerve and cried from the witness chair:
 "'It's all Q 7iel I am the only one to blame! want to go home to motherl Please let me go!"
 Assistant District Attorney James : B. Smith explained later that the young woman had received telephone messages that if she related what she knew sine would pay for 1t with her life. These threats, he added, were conveyed to her in the last few days MT Smith also said the girl had been offered $3,5OO to leave the state be- fore the trial of Bennett began.
 Mss Lewis was the first witness called. She was trembling as she took the stand. In a few minutes she was weeping and hysterIcal. Judge Mulqueen ordered an adtournmens < When Miss Lewis resumed the stand in the afternoon she had not recover ed her boise, Her breakdown caused an abrupt ending of the first session
 "Curley'' Bennett Is being tried un- der an indictment which charges that The placed Miss Lewis, her sister Erie ta, and her cousin Eleanor, in a house against their will and took from them money they earned In a '. manner abhDrrent to them.
 The girls escaped. Bennett caused their arrest two days later on charges iof grand larceny They then told ithe stories which resulted in Ben 'netts indictment as 8 white slaver-'
 The indictment of Bennett, accord -, ing to a statement smade at the tims iby MT. Smith, revealed the metho ds of gang of white slavers, traffick- ing in girls He said:
 Girls are forced to sell themselves for the benefit of tango lounge liz ards, who have muicted New York CTS and out-of-town visitors out of at least $40, 900 within a year,
 One of the clique exposed through the vice cleanup in which Bennett was arrested, according to Mir. Smith, offered to sell a girl for $1,- 900, and a. New York man agreed to buy her.
 MT. Smith at that time produced a number of bankbooks seized in the flat Bennett shared with the three girls now complainants against him, to substantiate his charges of the profits reaped. One account showed deposits approximating $11,OOO had been made in a single month in 1918.
