Oct. 20.—Opinion is dU vided today as to the wisdom of Monday night’s parade, when 12,000 church workers, under the leader ship of Gypsy Smith, the evangelist, marched through Chicago's tender loin district. The resort keepers de clare that business last night was better than ever before. A woman who has lived in the dis trict for the last five year# said: “From a business standpoint, I suppose that I should be p.eased. but I was sorry* to see so many young boys attracted to the district for the first time in their lives.” The police of the tenderloin re ported that the district did the big gest business m its history. The revivalists declare that the demonstration was simply “marvel ous’’ and did a great deal of good. Gypsy Smith is one of the most prominent evangelists in the country and when holding a meeting in thè large cities always devotes one night to the tenderloin, when he with his followers marched through the dis trict and plead with the women and men to lead better lives.
