EVIL TRAFFIC PROBED
Report Mad::;_‘:_White Slave”
Trade B&Tmiuion.
REVOLTING DISCLOSURE MADE
Washington, D, C.~All but incredi
bly revolting are the disclosures of
an international system of traflic 1
women, containing in the report ou
the so-called “white slave trade” sub
mitted to congress by the United
States immigration commission,
When the report was presented Iu
the house of representatives by Con
gressman Bennet of New York, Champ
Clark, the minority leader, objectca
to its being printed as a house doc
ument, but later withdrew his objec
tion. It was promptly renewed Dby
Mr. Sabbath of Illinois. Mr. Kitzger
ald of New York wanted to Know il
the report contained sensational mat
ter like he implied was contained
in the report of the Rocsevelt homes
commission, upon which Mr. Benuet
evoked laughter by the tart reply:
“All matter calculated to appeal to
your mind has been eliminated.” |
The report begins with an intro
duction explaining the nature of the
“white slave” traftic, and concludes
with a series of recommendations,
mostly of an administrative charac
ter.
The commission says that the elfect
of the importation of immoral women
into this country is one of increasca
degradation and death for the women
and of contamination and corruption
by means of the spread of disease 10
others.
Tho importations came from all
countries, France leading, and the
Chinese and Japanese making up the
majority of these coming in by way
of the Pacific coast. Most of the
procurers are of foreign birth. The
“market” price varies from S3OO to
SI,OOO for Bach alien woman. Some
times they are not sold outright, out
théir procurers continue to live from
their earnings after their arrival here.
The commission recommends that
efforts be made through government
agents abroad and on board steam
ghips to prevent the importation ui
women to this country; that more as
giduous eflorts be made in the United
States to arrest women known to be
engaged in immoral practices and tc
deport ail possible; that the limit ot
three years after landing within which
such persons may be successiully
prosecuted be removed; that any de
ported persons returning to this coun
try be imprisoned; that the keepers
of immoral houses in which alien
women are found be subject to de-‘
portation, and that the state and mu
picipal governments be urged to co
operate for the stamping out of tne}
evil.
ENGLAND FACES GRISIS.
Bitter Struggle Begins in Referendum
on British Budget.
London, England.—England today
stands face to face with the gravest
political crisis in its history since
1832, as a result of the rejection of
the budget by the house of lords, but
the outcome of the present one prom
ises to have more far-reaching ef
fects than its predecessor.
In that year the struggle between
the two bodies of the English parlia
ment arose over the reform bill,
which the lords rejected. New elec
tions followed, together with the for
mation of a new cabinet, but the
struggle still continued, resulting in
the second resignation of the minis
try.
A new cabinet was again formed
and with the threat of increasing
the numbers in the cabinet, the lords
were frightened into withdrawing
ter of 1832 received the royal assent.
In the minds of well-informed
gtatesmen, however, the action of the
house of lords in the present crisis
has sounded their death knell as a
law-making body, and the ultimate
resuit will mean, it is believed, the
elimination of that body from parlia
ment at least in its present form.
In all quarters, the present crisis
is regarded as the gravest that the
pation has faced in a century,

Been Unjustly Condemned.
Managua, Nicaragua.~"The United
States unjustly condemns my admin.
istration,” said President Zelaya in
an interview with a staft correspond
ent of the Associated Press, Y pro
posed to Secretary of State Knox that
he submit the case to the investiga
tion of a committee of his own choos
ing, agreeing to surrender my rights
to the presidency if the charges In
hsi letter to Isidoro Hezera, lormer
Nicaragua minister to the United
States, were sustained. sSacretary
Knox has not replied,
“Detenseless against the hostility ot
a powerful nation, I must submit, al
though 1 have been condemned un
heard.
“The hostility of the United States,”
continued President Zelaya, “‘is due to
the machinations of Senor (abrera,
president of (GGuatemala, whom I re
tused, in 1906, to join in an oltensive
and detensive alliance of Central
America against Mexico and thereby
thwarted his efforts to establish a
virtual dictatorship in Central Ameri
ca. Since then Cabrera has pursued
me with relentless enmity, poisoning
the public mind against me.
“While I an ready to surrender the
presidency,” continued . President Ze
laya, “1 cannot do it precipitately, as
it would result in uprisings by sev
eral factions, each of which 1s eager

ceptable to all parties, and have sub

RED CROSS STAMPS TROUBLESOME.
Thousands of People Seem to Think
They Are Postage Stamps.
Washington, D. C.—Thousands of
letters bearing the Red Cross stamps
are being sent to the dead letter of
fice or held at postoffices for postage.

issued in connection with the sale of

sent to the dead letter office.

Britain, even though the regular post
age is attached and is admitted to
the German mails only when the Red
Cross stamps are attached to the
back of the letter or parcel.
Prominent among those who so dec
orate their Christmas mail lis the

A PERSISTENT CANDIDATE,
Man Will Run for Congress Every 2
Years Till Elected.
Danville, Ky.—Fontaine Fox Bab
bitt, known as the *“Cicero of the
Mountains,” announced his candidacy
for congress in a unique message, in
which he said:
“I can wait a long time yet, but I
shall certainly run ever two years un
til I am elected. I ran 10 years for
representative and got stronger, and
it took more money and a better man
to beat me until I went in with a
majority. Like old Antheas, anybody
could throw him the first fall, but
every time he touched the ground
he arose stronger until he burst the
gizzard out of his antagonist.”

For the pains of rheumatism there
is nothing that can equal
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills.
They overcome that nervous irri
tation, relieve the pain and swelling,
while they have a tendency to aliay
fever. If taken as directed they are
invaluable to chronic sufferers, as
