Kansas City. Mo, Aug. 16.-Orgies

nocent high school girls and boys
were the victims, were revealed today
following a raid upon a luxurious
apartment in an exclusive residential
district and the arrest of R. w.
Harod 35 and Albert English, So.
The men confessed to an astound-
ing story of immortality and gave po-
lice a list of thirty names of high
school students who had been 1ured
to their apartment. When these were
questioned by the police the names
of a score of others were revealed
who had taken part in the parties"
Many Prominent Names.
A book found in the apartment con-
tanned the names of Ill men and
women. many of them prominent in
business and society, who it is alleged,
took part in the orgies. All will be
brought before the police and ques-
toned. Chief of Police Edwards
stated.
Harod conducted a book store near
high school, and it is alleged Sc
cured the recruits" for the vice
school. He first gave his victims OBJ
scene letters and pictures and finally
! invited them to the apartment.
RcVclS in Lingerie.
They were then dressed in silken
pajamas and gorgeous lingerie and
amidst furnishings of Oriental SPLEEN
dor in an atmosphere laden with in
cense, the orgies began.
Addresses of men and women from
Leavenworth, st. Joseph, and other
nearby cities were found together with
names of nearby universities and pre-
paratory schools. Addresses of other
apartments were also in the book
found in the apartment and it is be-
1ieved that the revels were staged in
many other places in this city. Many
obscene pictures and books Uttered the
apartment.
Parents Are in Frenzy.
English is a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Colorado. he stated, and for
merly resided in La Junta, Colo. He
was a lieutenant in the World war and
served overseas. Harod was a, SER
geant major in the service, he stated.
The astounding revelations brought
scores of parents to police headquar-
tiers who begged that Harod and Eng
fish be turned over to them SO they
could take the law in their own hands.
