POLICE CO-OPERATE
IN VICE CRUSADE
Abandon Attitude of Dis
crediting Charges of Navy
Department
MANY CAUGHT IN RAID
The police have ahandoned their policy
of poohpoohlng the vice of which Secretary
of the Navy Daniels complained, declaring
It was a serious menace to the morals of
sailors and marines The pollco have recog
nized the existence of vice and have Joined
with the naval authorities for a genulno
crusade against disreputable women nnd
disreputable men, who prey upon sailors
and marines as well as upon others, and
against all persons uho lend any aid to
such men and women.
The wholesale arrests last night of men
and women on charges of keeping disorderly
houses, preferred at the Instance of Daniels,
was but one moe against tho'denlzens of
the tenderloin and others of their Ilk.
The police, co-operating with the nay
authorities, will keep after vicious men and
women and make their lives so miserable
that they will leave town, they say Persons
who rent rooms or houses for Improper pur
poses will be prosecuted if they refuse to
get rid of their undesirable tenants.
Superintendent of Police Robinson and
Police Captain Nicholas J. Kenny, who has
the Tenderloin district, conferred for half
an hour, with Rear Admiral Benjamin Tap
pan, commandant of the navy yard, at the
yard today They had a full understanding
and co-operative methods were agreed
upon
. MARINES TO PATROL
Beginning tonight, fnrtv marines will help
In policing the Tenderloin. Point Breeze
Park and other places designated by the
police, where here has been trouble with
vice These men will be In squads of four
men each, under command of chief petty
officers They will arrest any sailors or
marines they see conducting themselves
Improperly.
It was agreed that sailors and marines
arrested will not be turned over to the
naval authorities, as formerly was done,
but will be taken before magistrates, tried,
convicted and punished as civilians. Then
they will be sent to the navy yard to be
court-martialed and convicted and punished
again.
Sailors and marines will be ordered to
keep on their uniforms when on shore
leave. Marines will be placed on guard at
"lockers" In the neighborhood of the navy
yard to see that they are not patronized.
The police as t-oon as they convict any
person of conducting a disorderly house
will notify the property owner under the
Swift law, and if he does not get rid of
disreputable tenants he will be prosecuted.
Robert D. Drlpps, who aided the Navy
Department In Its work against vice, today
said he was satisfied the police attitude
had changed and the police would do all
In their power to stamp out vice
Charles Lee, head of the vice squad, said :
"There la very little organized vice. Our
big problem Is the cheap lodging houses,
and It Is very difficult to get conclusive,
convicting evidence against them ; but we
will keep on arresting the people that are
causing the trouble and will gle them no
rest. We will make life so miserable for
them that they will get out of town. The
people who have been renting houses and
rooms to them will find themselves without
tenants and without any money coming In
and will have to move "
TWENTY-SEVKN UNDER BAIL
Twenty-seven more men nnd women, ar
rested by the vice squad on warrants sworn
out by an agent for Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, charging them with keeping disor
derly houses, were held In $300 ball for
further hearing on July 27, by Magistrate
Watson, In Central Police Court today.
The magistrate allowed all to sign their
own bonds.
Mrs. May Shaw, of 251 North Twelfth
street, one of those arrested, made Indig
nant protest. She said she had no lawyer
to represent her, but she could speak for
herself and say she had the reputation of a
decent woman, who for years had made an
honest living by conducting a boarding
house. She was released on her own recog
nizance. Mrs. Wells, said Gray, had previously
been arrested and her case was now In the
Superior Court She had been conducting
herself circumspectly at least since her
former arrest he said, and what Incentive
was there for people to live proper lives
If they were to be "picked up" by the police
without Jutt cause?
Magistrate Watton said he agreed with
all Gray said.
CLOSE WATCH ON TENDERLOIN
While the police. In connection with Sec
retary Daniels's ultimatum that the city
mutt be cleaned of vice, were swooping
down in grim, athlon on alleged violators
of the law, marines on patrol duty In the
central section of the city Initiated their
campaign of guarding enlisted men from, the
navy yard from vice and houses and com
panions of HI repiite.
The placing of marines on guard duty
In the (enderloln was Inaugurated last
night, and was one of the first active steps
taken to safeguard the moralt, health and
welfare of Uncle Sam's enlisted men.
The sight of the marine patrols caused a
stir In the Tenderloin. , Naval offcerg tajd
they had been detailed to protect til men on
shore leave and that they will follow the
same methods as adopted In several other
cities with, naval bates, notably Newport
