Revocation of License Will Be Asked if Law Is Violated. Girl Sentenced.

The vice inquiry Monday morning resulted in a close surveillance of hotels which, it is alleged, harbor young girls for immoral purposes. If the law is violated, the police authorities say, the police committee of Council will be requested to revoke the license of the hotel involved.

Chief Beavers has detailed men to watch for violations of the law following information given by Corinne Wilson and Dora Rosthstein [sic], sentenced to the Reform School Saturday afternoon.

The new information, it is understood, involves one more well-known downtown hotel and several other parties, one of whom is said to be prominent. Developments are expected to-day as a result of work along this line.

In the meantime five cases, made out against four women and one man following a raid Saturday on the home of Mrs. Lula Bell on Peters Street have been set on the Recorder's docket for trial Monday morning.

One of Saturday's victims, Corinne Wilson, has called upon her husband, who resides in Marietta, to come to her.

"I love him," said the girl, "and I believe he loves me. If he only will come to me and keep me out of the Reform School, I will be straight."

Dora Rothstein probably will be sent to the Reform School the latter part of the week.
