Disorderly houses flourish

the inmates are, for the most
part. young girls still in their
teenS-white girls, japanese,
Chinese, mixed -bloods, "black
and tans,'' Portuguese, and
Hawaiian girls; liquor prac-

exclusively to International News

officers who wrote the report,
it was declared today that con-
