EMY WHO LIVE OFF VICTIM'S EARNINGS ARE THOUSANDS, THEIR DEBT BONDAGE United States Attorney Urges New Enactment Making Felonious tbs Present Detention of Girl Victims to Pay Indebtedness. Chicago, Feb. 20. Investigation 'by the agents of the I'tilted States dull let attorney's office have re aiilted In the assertion by Assistant District. Attorney P.ukln that fully 15.000 men, 'owners-' of whit,, slaves In the disorderly houses or Chicago,: live in Idleness on" tho earnings of their victims. This atari Mug a?ser tlou and tho stnte laws which he lecoinmeirJii an article In the Chi ciiko niugiiRlne, Woulau'a World, huvi. been endorsed by (he Illinois vigilance, association. They hit haul et at these "nwmers." by making their work n felony. I'ak.. marriages Is a freiptent device by which In nocent girls aro obtained for livos of shame, Mr. Parkin asserts in this article and he cites such cases. In endorsing thes,. bills, the II llnols vigilance association, which has dealt with many eases where man luges, r.ike or feuuliie, were lined as a means of procuring girls, Iiiih ri-coiumeiHh'd that enactment provide that tne estate of marriage shall be no bar to testimony of girl victims. Mr. Parkin's recommendation that detention of girls in disorderly houses to compel tho liquidation ol lirdoltteduess bo mnde a felony, us explained by htm In the Woman's World article furnished the reason for the term "whlto slaves" which has been applied to the girl vic tims of the appalling traffic .which the state 1 eg I ski lures of Illinois and other stale soon will he called upon to crush. "Ond of tho greatest weapons la the hands of the white slavers nun of the keepers of houses of III fame to prevent the escape of fresh recruits and to submerge them Into hopeless slavery Is the system or Inihdiledness which is practiced in these places," saya Mr. IVirkln. 'The one object of thoso concerned in the subjugation of u girl who has Income ii victim to the wlle. of slinine and bitterness Into which the have tbeen entrapped. Nothing h.is been found so effective a niealM to tills end us the del.tor system. The first thing a girl Is compelle! to do on oelng thrown Into one of these houses la to buy au ex pensive MHrdrobo at from live to six times Us actual vnlito. "To lie more dellnlte. I have in my Mssessiou bills, rendered against certain luuiaies taken from the lens. In these bills sto.-klngs cost lug "5 cents have been charged ai $3.00: shoes costing $2.50 are charg ed at fS.Dii, and kimonos costing 1.00 ro charged at 115.00. As the goods themselves were seined, as well as the bills for them, 1 am able to make this statement. In every case l have found that the girl was compelled to renew her outfit of llllery whenever the keener so dic tated, without regard to her need of It. Our investigations have all shown that whm keeper imagine! that a girl, un innate, is Intend- IlUg to leave unite lace either openly or secretly, a new outfit Is forced upon her nt absurd figures and she Is told thnt she cannot leave the place until every cent f her In- didHediiesn has been wiped out ond that If she attempts to do so the ort'ieers of the law will be called In nnd alio will be brought back, in the dotena of cases which I have examined there has not heen a single one which has rolled to show evidence of this kind. 1 have la my IKsseMlim iHtmerous copies of bills ivndere4 glnst these wretched wo men In which their costumes reach aa high a figure as $ 1,200 and even $1,360. This ludiibtedncBS system la mutually recognised amd enforced between the keepers of all houses; in other words, iw girl can leave one house and enter another unless she Is able to show that she leaves no Indebtedness behind her."
