Never before in the history OF Chi
cago's social life has any movement
created such tremendous interest as
has the mysterious Committee of
tive's attempt to disinfect and de-
louse society
1t is the sole topic OF conversation
wherever men and women congregate.
Men Of affairs to whom social worries
ordinarily appear as a tempest in

as the most dyed-in-the- wool social
butterfly.

Letters We're sent this week to social
leaders by the Committee OF Five de-
nouncing the employment OF certain
men as soloists and entertainers at
social functions who are known to
be morons and moral dcgenerates.
Especially yitrolic is the attack
upon certain well known baritone.
who is very frequently in evidence
where solos are required Not only
IS he well known in Chicago. but
frequently sings in other cities He
was the most prominent singer at
recent national conference held by a
religious body at St Louis. In the
words OF the Committee OF Five No
morality can ever be expected to
exist in Chicago society as long as
ii is infested with creatures of this
type 1t is sad -ef -him that he
was once attacked by d white fire
man who broke pitcher over his
head for indecent proposals.
The second individual OF this same
type is associated with a music store
on State street, near Seth place.
He also is in much evidence where
music is needed, It is said OF him
that he can be seen almost nightly
cruising along Michigan avenue. be-
tween 35th and 39th streets, in search
OF prey. He is also said to be d con-
stant visitor at dive at Adams and
State streets. The third entertainer
who is being attacked has the en-
viable reputation of having been seen
to weep openly in public throughflres
because one OF his victims had de-
serted him for more fruitful fields.

this week is the repetition OF the
warning sent out last week against
the recognition OF a certain school
teacher. who. the Committee OF Five
say. outraged decency by marrying a
notorious underworld figure. Another

wife who was the guest of this school
teacher while visiting in the East 1t
is said that she had been warned by
the Committee not to do this
Society was also denounced this
week in several anonymous letters for
accepting into its folds a certain
woman who was 'landlady' in ques-
tionablc resort in Canada. This
woman is the wife OF a leading bust
ness man. who himself was roped
in some time ago by Federal officers
on charges OF illegally storing whiskey
in his place of business. He has also
been placed in the limelight recently
in other startling disclosures. An in
dictment is said TO hang over his
head at the present time.
