THE ATLANTA GEOROLW AND NEWS, MONDAY, MAY If). 10K Rockefeller Vice Report Shows Trade in Women Is Established on Commercial Basis, M.i 19—White *la- New York is estab- timercia) basis, and * ’horoughly organ- ding 1o the report of George id. of the Bureau of Social of which John I>. Rocke- is chairman, made public NEW YORK very in the city liaheri upon a tho»f- engaged iaeri, accor J Kneelai Hygiene, feller, Jr., to-day. Investigator* found that an im moral life was not often the alterna tive of starvation They did learn, however, that the great preponder ance of fallen women came from the ranks of those engaged in unskilled occupations. Hundreds of Immoral resorts were investigated and hun dreds of proprietors and inmates in terviewed. It Is the conservative et* tlmate of Mr. Kneeland that than* are not less than 15,000 fallen women in New York City. More Found in Streets. The tabulation showed that 6.759 were found in the streets and 8.167 in immoral resort*, tenements, massage parlors, hotels, saloon*, concert halls, etc. The report estimates that fully pn per cent are diseased. Men who procure girls, act ns “light houses.” own resorts, rent their prop erty for Immoral purposes and “drum up trade’’ are described. Men seem to be the real owners of most of the evil resorts, and one. described as th*- ’king,” owns eleven houses of ill fame. In making investigations, Mr Kne^- land, with a trained body of social investigators and detectives, also probed Into the underworlds of Chi cago. Philadelphia and Syracuse. Sub sequent reports will deal with these cities and with other parts of New York City. The report made public to-day deals only with Manhattan. Others Also Banded Together. From the report by Mr. Kneeland It is evident that not only those actu ally engaged in vice as a busi ness are banded together, but that the proprietors of establish ments such as saloons, concert halls, a certain class of cabaret shows, dance halls, burlesque theaters, amusement parks and excursion boats make an open business of ca tering to vice. Vice and alcohol ate even more firmly allied. During the investigation, from January 24, 1912. to November 15, 1912. 142 parlor houses were found and Investigated and 1,172 resorts found in 575 different tenement houses. Furnished room houses used as houses of assignation are branded as particularly dangerous. There are 200 massage parlors in New York, the report says, many of which are be lieved to be for Immoral purposes. Of 765 rear rooms of saloons investi gated. 380 were found to be regular gathering places of slaves and vic tims. Public Dance Halls Scored. The public dance hall was found to justify the worst that has been said of it. Of 75 dances reported on be tween January 24 and June 24 only five were characterized by the in vestigators as “decent.” These dances are attended by many innocent working girls. who seek legitimate recreation, anc^ the hired cadet, usually well-dressed and well- mannered. These 'powers that prey’ are a constant danger in public dance halls and find there an easy quarry. Speaking of resorts where those In the “trade” discuss their affairs, the author gives an astounding descrip tion of a delicatessen store, used for that purpose, located in one of the poorer sections of the city. The final 'chapter of the report is contributed by Miss Kathrlne Rement Davis, superintendent of the New York State Reformatory for Wo. men. at Bedford Hills, and contains a detailed study of the 647 inmates.

The two young persons stood in the roadway holding hands—ten minutes, one would imagine from tills reading of it, but only ten seconds in reality. Ten seconds make a long time un der certain conditions. The young woman doubtless thought so, for at last she smiled again, gave the hand that held hers a healthy pumplike shake and broke the clasp. “Good-bye.” she said, and stepped quickly into the automobile, the motor of w'hich had been softly purring all the while. The driver cased in the clutch, the car gathered head way. and as it turned in the road, the driver leaned out and said with a harsh la ugh: "Get some of that cotton seed out of* your hair, young fellow , and you better go in out of the wet now." The car sped up the hill. The young man watched it without stir ring until It had disappeared in the distance. But he had noted the num ber of the ear. It was “50000 Ga.” The rain ceased as suddenly as it began. Walking to the entrance of the ball park, the young man tried several doors and gates without being able to gain admittance. At last he found a door that opened to his touch and, smoko issuing from the chim ney of a little Y. within the in- cleisure, he went to the dob;, knocked and. after a moment’s pause, entered.

CHAPTER I I T was 10 o’clock In the morning of March 1. Low, dark clouds, driven from east to west by a brisk wind, raced over Ponce DeLeon Park. Before the street car came io a full stop in front of the Atlanta baseball grounds a young man jump ed off the Htep and walked swiftly toward the park. Within three sec onds these things happened: First—Without the slightest warn ing. without even a few preliminary spatters, rain poured down in sweep ing, blinding torrents, as though mil Hons of buckets of water on high were emptied at the same instant. Second A terrifying scream from the throat of a woman burst iri the ears of the young man It was in stantly followed by a hoarse “Get out of the way.” written here in five words, but yelled at the time in one quick command. The young man shot a startled glance over his shoulder and then, with incredible swiftness, sprang forward. As he did so a high-powered, under slung automobile rushed past him One inch farther and he would have bean clear of the car. but the front wheel of It struck his flying heel ana he was flung sprawling on the rain- aoaked pavement. There was another scream. The car raced on. For a brief period the young man lay as if stunned. Then he arose and looked to see what hit him. The tar was rushing up the hill on high speed and by this time was nearly a furlong away. hardly discernible through the heavy sheets of rain. Rut as the young man looked the car slowed down and came to a stop close to the sidewalk. Two persons were In the car One of them started to get out of it. but paused and then sat down again. The car took mo tion. turned ami coasted hack to the point in front of the ball park where the young man still stood motionless The Girl Interferes The driver gave the emergency brake a vicious jerk and glared at the young man. His heavy features were flushed and he scowled at the bedraggled figure in the road as he spoke. "Why don’t you look where your* going, you boob?" he snarled. "You’re not up among the pine needles now. you understand. You ought to have a colored mammy with you when- His companion In the car, a young woman, reached up a hand and smothered further words. "I’m sorry 1 didn't come hack alone," she said to the driver In a low tone. The young man in the road strode to the side of the car and. looking the I driver full in the eye, said, very quietly: “1 want to say to you, sir. that I don’t know much about automobiles, but if this young lady wasn’t here ' I’d yank you out in the street and mop up some of this rain with you. Civil talk is what I want from you or none at all The driver made a threatening ges- ! ture and started to speak, hut again the restraining hapd was placed on I him and lie contented himself with I glaring savagely at the young man in the road. The young woman arose and stepped on the running hoard j The driver caught her by the arm. "Don't be foolish. Mildred. he j growled. "Sit down and we ll get | away from here You are drenched j to the skin. I must take you home | in a hurry." Wait a minute. Forrest, pleas* I j can stand a little rain." the young woman replied. She shook ofT .!.* detaining hand and. jumping to the j ground, walked around the front of the car. stopping Hose l«* the young man in the road. "We are*-very sorry. I am very sorry. Are you badly hurt?” she ask ed gently. The young man. who had not taken his eyes off the driver of the car, turned his head and looked into the glowing brow n eyes of the young woman and a slight flush stole over his features. His gaze was long and earnest, ns though he had never seen such eyes before in all his life. Fin ally his mouth broke into a smile, disclosing two rows of strong, even, dazzling white teeth. The corners of his eyes wrinkled, giving his features an expression that showed beyond question that he was blessed with the saving sense of humor. The young woman smiled, too. and when she did so the young man found his tongue. “I guess 1 was List scared." he »* *.. said. "I’m not hurvtn my body as near as I can make out, but my feel ings were injured when your friend spoke to me the way he did. Maybe it was my fault; 1 guess it was. 1 ought to have kept my eyes open. It was your scream that saved me. I'm much obliged to you." The young woman held out her hand. "I'm right glad you are not hurt." she said. The young man took the hand and held it. The rain beat down upon them in torrents, but neither seemed to mind it. The ride in the automo bile had loosened the hair of the young woman.-*but the overpowering rain had soaked through her small hat and the driving spray had plas tered the loose strands to the side of her face and neck. As she stood there she looked as though she had just been dragged from a river. Yet In spite of everything it was easy to see that she was a handsome woman. She- but this is not the time or the place to describe her. The condi tions are unfavorable. Wait. She plays a not unimportant part in this narrative and there will be plenty of opportunity later on to tell all about her. Stood Holding Hands. And what of the young man that held her hand out in the roadway in that driving rainstorm? Well, he is the central figure in the story. Strange events are involved in his career. But please be patient. This is not a mag azine editor’s preliminary announce ment. It is the story of a great base- H j' Established 1865 EISEMAN BROS., Inc. Incorporated 1912 REMODELING UnderWay!
