rated In eleven houses. He Is suppos-
ed to have great Influence with tho
authorities and It largely "aependn
upon his judgment whether houses
are openly and flagrantly or quietly
and cautiously conducted. When ex-
ternal conditions are unfavorable
these men ship their women to points
where conditions are more propitious.
Variations In public opinion and In
the attitude n the municipal author!
ties are quickly reflected In the mar-
ket. Just before the Hosenthsl mur-
der prices were prohibitively high:
since that date they have steadily de-
clined. Owners of realty ostensibly respec-
abie conu's in for covert condemna-
tion at the bands of the investigators.
A woman Investigator the report sets
forth visited 1 12 real aetata agents
of whom only IT declined to let prem-
ises for immoral purposes. A group of
thirty-eight "well known" men it Is
said own ami operate twenty-eight
houses In Manhattan "The value of
shares moves up and down." sas the
report "according as conditions are
more or less favorable to the conduct
of the business."
An attempt Is made to estimate the
vast receipts of tho resorts of ill-fame
yet the Investigators are frank in stat-
ing that the sums are so large as to
make it Impossible to arrive at any
io curate total. Thirty of tho most
tawdry resorts it Is pointed out. earn
In the aggregate at least two million
dollars annually exclusive of the
enormous profit derived from the Illi-
cit sale of liquor and tobacco at ex-
orbitant prices. To arrive at any esti-
mate of the earnings of the Itinerant
women of the streets Is. of course out
of the question.
Tho total cost to society the report
emphasizes is staggeringly enormous
taking no account of that greatest of
all costs disease. In this regard the
riMuirl Instances an examination of
141' wayward girls in the Bedford Re-
formatory all of them unibr

cal examination had shown less than
21 per cent of them infected More
thorough tests brought out the start-
ling fact that fully 90 per cent were
diseased.

The report embodies what in proba-
bly the most complete census of vice
resorts ever taken There are 1606
of all grades enumerated with their
respective locations by precincts. The
figures vary widely from those of the
police; but for this discrepancy no cri-
ticism Is made of the department or
of the city authorities.
Explaining the various kinds of re-
sorts the report lays stress on the
metlSnce of those In tenement houses.
Investigation showed that twenty-seven
such places wo.ro In tenements
where all tod nearly five hundred
children under sixteen years of age
were playing about the halls. Strange-
ly enough a delicatessen store Is de-
scribed us perhaps the most notorious
meeting place for traffickers In wom-
en. According to the report practically
a)' of the resorts founded on woman's
shame are conducted by women Who
hnve "risen" from the ranks Far
from being aympatehtln with their
wards the chief aim of theae house-
keepers Is to make as much money as
possible for their masters--Invariably
men. Thus though the Inmate of a
house theoretically receives half the
money she earns nhe Is taxed cruelly
for board clothes toilet articles and
probably drugs so that aa a rule she
