TfflUTBI BANKED WITH SCHOOLS UD BSPW VESSELS RUSHED NICARAGUA 1 The Rev. Dr. Edwin Hcyl Helk, president of the Christian League, in an address recently to the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Philadelphia eMthodist Conference, decalred that the three great educators in American cities today were the public schools, the news papers and the theaters. DoctorDelk spoke on "City Problems." He said that while the pub lic schools made the greatest impress of any agency upon boys and girls, its influence was succeeded by the newspapers as they grew to maturity, peaking of the theater, he said: "The picture does not pose as an educative force. It says 'We arc merely here to entertain.' I cannot accept that dictum. Whatever in fluences large numbers of the people -should inbuence them for good. It is-a grqwing conviction with me that the thousands of good men and women would go to the theaters, and I know that many church members arc among them, should vehemently insist upon clean plays, because of the effect the theater has upon thousands of boys and girls who seek its entertainment." Doctor Delk then spoke of theatrical posters, which come under the supervision of the Christian League. He said that if his hearers, were ofttime shocked at some which appear on the billboards, they would be scandalized at others which his society prevented going up. As an example of the plays that have an unwholesome effect Upon the young, he told of a production recently given in one of the large theaters in the center of the city in which "women posed in skin tight suits," and, lie added, "I regret to say that most o fthc applause came from women in the audience.'' Speaking of the white slave business, the minister said : "We have very little of this traffic in Philadelphia thank sto Mr. Gibboncy. But in New York at least 3000 young women are inveigled every year for immoral purposes." ' Relating a bit of Chinatown history, Doctor Delk told how a female captain of the Volunteers of America recently saved two girls' from an opium den. The girls lived in a town near this city and were per suaded by a woman to accompany her to the city. She took them 'to a Chincse'restaurant. While the woman was out of the room talking to the proprietor the captain of the Volunteers-' rescued the girls. She was convinced that the woman had taken them into the den to lie drugged. Doctor Delk said that Nemesis overtook the woman that very night, as her Chinese lover, on discovering that she was unfaith ful to him, cut off her ears. The experience drove her insane, and she is now in an asylum not far from this city. Doctor Delk also told of the crowded condition of families in con gested sections of the city. He spoke of one tenement where three families live iin one room, with only curtains between them. "Cah we expect anything else than barnyard morals under such con ditions?" he said. "Modesty, cleanliness, purity is almost impossible " where families arc crowded together in this fashion.'' 5H2B5asKa2HSB15H5Bili5FT WASHINGTON, December 3. rne cruiser Albany and the gunboat York- town, that, are now at Mngdalena Bay, have been ordered to proceed with all possible despatch to Corlnto, where they will be acid In readiness for fur ther developments in Central America.
