SNOWSLIDE HOLDS
BODY OF WOMAN
In Spite of the Efforts of Big Crew
of Volunteer Workers—Have Lo
cated Wearing Apparel.
Up to the time of going to press
the efforts of the volunteer crew of
workers at Keystone canyon to un
cover the body of Mrs. Lizzie Stropp,
caught last Tuesday afternoon in the
avalanche of ice and snow, were un
successful.
Tbe workers, however, expect to
find her remains at any time as they
have found a glove, her hat and also
pafts of her clothing so that word is
expected at any time that the search
ers have found the body, which can
not be far distant.
Mayor Ritchie has taken charge of
the work at the canyon and this af
ternoon was in conference with Mar
shal Brenneman and Lieut. Howard
relative to securing the assistance of
the troops stationed at Fort Liscum
in the work of shoveling to recover
the body if the present efforts are
unsuccessful.
DRIVE VICE FROM
NATION’S CAPITAL
(Continued from pa^e 1.)
tenderloin will mean that Washing
ton’s residential sections will suffer
as a Result; that if some of the
women that are chased out of the
tenderloin do not spread to other sec
tions, others will come into the city
and manage to live as they do in
New York, Philadelphia and other cit
ies, where such unfortunates conduct
small “establishments” in good neigh
borhoods.
The passage of the Kenyon measure
through the Senate and House mark
ed the end of ten years’ fight by civic
reformers. Their pleas that the na
tion’s capital—known as one of the
“cleanest” cities in the world—should
permit organized vice to foster and
grow in a part of the city set aside
for it. had hitherto gone unheeded.
One other thing which it is expect
ed that the Kenyon measure will ac
complish is to make public the exact
owners of property in the “red light”
district.
Veiled charges that powerful local
sources have prevented its "cleaning
up" because certain prominent indi
viduals owned houses rented out to j
prostitutes, have heretofore been I
heard. The Kenyon law is expected j
to force appearance in court of the j
actual owners of fthe premises against
which an injunction is sought, as well
as of the tenants. That the law will
result in a general clean-up is de
clared by proponents, who point out
that the measure not only provides
for a permanent injunction against
use of such property for immoral
purposes, but also permits the con
demnation and sale of all fixtures and
furniture in such houses.

stated he had never had a more
pleasant experience in his life and
will shortly take up the sport of fly
ing.
