Haunts of Vice in Our Great Cities
We have been led to think that
the worst vice conditions in great
! American cities are found in the very
| crowded, insanitary, loW-living and
| depraved sections, but these thoughts
| are reversed when one remembers
! that a very rich Chicago man once
| cooked the remains of his own muir
| dered wife IN his own place of bust
| neSS.
All New Workers have been horri-
| fed during the last ten days with the
| mysterious murder of q multi-nliI-
| lionaire, killed in his own home, by
| IN unknown enemy, and in such

New YORK.
He was shot after daylight in his
own library while reading his morn

! that a woman with whom he had
/ been unduly intimate comes nearer

ess than any other person. up to date.
| But the exposed facts also go to
prove that the millionaire's palatfa1
| residence was a harem where foolish
| and infatuated women had the entry,

them, We're his associates in mid
night orgies that are painfully dis
gusting and horrible to contemplate
as occurring in an American city, in
! the full blaze of civilization, in the
| twentieth century.
The victim divorced his wife, who

holy scriptures. No decent woman

| things and the millionaire's wife pre-

She might have feared for her own
| life, with good reason. In this ugly
| tragedy, everybody feels relieved that

and her good name. 1t is likely that
no other woman Except the ser

palatial mansion to get money. and
wear gaudy apparel, and the victim

| one of these vampire women he
sowed the seed, he reaped his crop
! of disgrace, debauchery and death!
There are doubtless some such
haunts of vampires and adulterers

homes. Many may be in the scum
sections. This is an object lesson
that has been exposed in New York
The murder attracted public atten-
ton. Some are wiser in their day
and generation and escape. with life
These things are kept in secrecy
unless a murder interrupts and the
! exposure follows, as it did in that
multi-millionaire' palatial home in
the heart of the city of New YORK
during the present month. Add in
