following is a report on their findings.
with reference to conditions as to
vice In this precinct. respectfully
report that / am of the opinion. that
there is but little commercialized vice
In this section of the city. There are
here a few persons who meet men
on the streets and take them to rooms
At different places for immoral pur-
poses for money, but so persistently
are these women prosecuted that
they are kept moving from place to
place. and this form Of vice IL re.
duced to q minimum.
This class of persons. principally
'colored. moving from place To place,
as they do, are not easily uppre-
hended. and for the purpose OF elimi-
mating, II possible. this evil two
men to whom these persons arc
known are detailed to look after
this form Of lawiessness and are MS
sisted by my entire command.
There are, of course. persons
who persist In violating these laws,
AZ do others In violating the ma
tional prohibition and other luws,
but every effort Is being put forth to
the end that the laws may be COM
piled with, and those guilty OF these
practices win be re'entlessly prose
cuted 20 long AZ they continue to
disregard the law.
IT am of the opinion that there
are certainly no houses In this pre-
cinct generally known as houses Of
prostitution. and what little vice OF
this nature existing here 10 carried

Says Farmers Borrow
Money To Bet
on Horses
BY International News Service.

The farmer apparently is very
like some men in other walks Of
,life-he likes to bet on the
horses.
This allegation was made be-
fore the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee today by Con-
gresham Steagall Dem Of Ala
bama, who charged that many
farmers borrow money on farms
to bet on the horses"
"Yes, that process is very COM
mon in New York and other
Eastern States" chimed in Con-
gresham King (Rep. Of Illinois.
But every man who goes to a
fair in the fall and bets on the
horses is not a farmer" inter
jected Chairman Lobbell, Of the
Farm Loan Bank. e.
you must be careful about
classifying a man as a farmer by
some Of his acts he warned the
committee.
