LAKE AVENUE PAVEMENT
The Executive Board Still Wrestling With the Vexed Question
The members of the Executive Board looked serious as they took their usual seats at the office this morning. The knowledge that the Lake avenue pavement question was still unsettled seemed to weigh heavily on official heads. Before the Board came to order a prominent alderman entered and, assuming a threatening air, said: "I am a tax payer of Lake avenue and I want to know what this Board is going to do about our improvement."
This little joke was received with an appreciative smile. Ald. SELYE soon entered and Ald. KELLY was present. The following committee of Lake avenue residents appeared: John E. MOREY, Charles S. HASTINGS and Mr. FOEHNER. After consulting with the committee, Chairman ALDRIDGE repeated his opinion that the action of the Council in reconsidering the ordinance had been illegal. The matter was, however, again laid on the table.
There has been talk of issuing a mandamus to compel the Executive Board to let the contract.

FIVE BAD WOMEN
Arrested Last Night and Convicted This Morning
Officers SULLIVAN, METZGER and SLOAN last night arrested on Front street and in the saloon of Street & Putz on the same street five women, whom they charged with being street-walkers. Following are the names of the women and the descriptions they gave of themselves:
Gertie UPSON, aged 21, single, and an orphan;
Violet K. MARKELL, aged 40, married, parents living;
Lena McWAIN, aged 22, married, parents living;
Nellie SHULTZ, aged 22, single, parents living;
Jennie NICHALES, aged 34, married, parents dead.
The UPSON woman was the first one called. She said she was a domestic, but had not worked for two weeks. She admitted frequenting Front street saloons. The Judge sentenced her to pay $10 or serve thirty days. The other women were then called up at the same time, each one pleading not guilty. In answer to questions propounded by Capt. McCORMICK, each one admitted that she frequented the dives, of Front street and drank beer and wine in them. The judge sentenced each one to pay $50 or serve 100 days.
The saloon where the arrest were made Street & Pultz's, is a low dive frequented by low women. In a room behind the bar are a number of stalls in which are tables and chairs. These stalls are enclosed so that it is impossible to see into them from the outer room. One of the women, Lena McWAIN, was arrested about six weeks ago on the charge of robbing a farmer in the place. She was discharged at the time.
After the sentencing of the women in court, one of them, the McWAIN woman made affidavit to the fact that she had purchased liquor in the place on Sunday. A man employed in the place as bartender also made affidavit that liquor was sold there on Sunday, and that he was accustomed to draw liquor Sundays just the same as on any other day. A warrant was then issued for the proprietors of the place. The police are determined to break up the resort, and it is possible that other places of the same character on the street will be closed.
One result of this raid, providing the fines of the women are not paid, and there is little danger of that, will be the birth of two fatherless children in the penitentiary.
