Show WOMEN OF TENDERLOIN Driven From a District, They Invade an Entire City Fresno. Cal , Nov. 17. Chief of Police Po-lice Shaw announced last night that a thorough investigation of the Induing Indu-ing houses in the business section of the city would take place. rIhe announcement an-nouncement came as the result of a sermon by Rev. Harvey II. Hanson of (he fashionable St. James Episcopal church. In which the rector described conditions in the lo&jlng house as "awful." The existence of vice in so-called so-called respectable lodging houses he ascribed to the "over-reaching efforts of good, but misguided people who attempted to entirely stamp out the tenderloin. "Advocating the setting apart of a segregated district does not Imply any lack of realizing of the aw fulness of vice," he continued. "Some day wo hope to stamp It out But it always has existed and exists now. The safety of our daughters depends on keeping that class in a dellnito district dis-trict under strict police eupervlaion." |
