made the basis of an attempt to effect

Mrs. Humiston to Fight for Laws
That Will Protect Young Girls
Lawyer Who Found Body of Ruth Cruger Determined to
Have "Criminal Persuasion" Declared a Punishable
Offence-Startled by "White Slave" Activities
Mra. Grace Humicton,thc lawyer who
fiiuiul Ruth Cruger, li aailling to devote
her life to the mission of searching for'
other lost girls, if the public ?rill give |
linancial support to the work
"Don't praise me. Praise Ruth
Cruger for her valiant fight," she said j
yeaterday afternoon when she returned
from the funeral. "P.uth Cruger ought
to be canonized. There ought to be a ,
Ruth Cruger memorial fund tvhirh :
we could riiaote to the avork of saving
and bringing back to useful lives girl'
who hare been lured away by thes"
gangs. I would g?ve my services, but
I haven't money enough to pay the de?
tectives.
Would Found a Home
"I aai^h we could establish a home
in the country not a home with rules
and a depressing institutional ?tinos
phere bu? a real home, when these
girls eou'ri be marie happy again. I
have friends aal.o would help to man
age such a home, if the Kuth Cruger
fund could be established to start it."
Mr . Humiston ?loi.ied the stories
printed yesterday morning to the elfect
that aha knew of twenty-two other eel
lar- which -he thought ought to be ia?
restigated in the March for lo t girls.
"What I really meant to say was,"
she explained, "that I knew of twenty
tWO case.? of lort girls, whom 1 believed
lo be victims of this ??ystem." Then
she harked back to the "white ?lave":
situation.
*'I wish every father and mother
wtaoec daughtrrs are missing would ?
come to me and tell me about them. I ;
can't promise to help them all, but I
will do what I can.

"Another thing I am determined toi
i-'o is to change the laws, -o that 'crim?

girl consent? willingly after she lal
eighteen. Lot? of girls aren't respon-i- i
hie at eighteen; lots of them aren't at :
thirty-t-ve."
The reference to lawmaking brought,
up the subject of woman suffrage, on ;
which Mr?. Humiston has been vari
I ously quoted.
"I have no attitude," she said. "I'm
neither for it nor against it. but I be

' The bearing opened erith ? protest
against Oscar 8, Straus, chairman of
the Public Service < emmission, sitting
in that capacity at the hearings, I ni
protest was made by Corn, luis M.
She. han. representing the Allied
Boards ol' Trades and Taxpayers' Pro?
tective Association of Brooklyn, who
contended that the chairman had S pe.
CUaiar) interest in the case and might
be bias-ed in handing doWfl his dec!?
1 sion. He poiflted out that Mr. Straus
was a director in the Saw York Life
? Insurance Company, which owr. .*1.
732.062 of bonds aad stock in the Third
Avenue comp.my. He COOtOaded that
the value of this stock might he mutc
rielly increased by any increa-e ia
fares.
Mr. Straus admitted he was a direc?
tor in *he Insnraaee eonpaay, hut de?
clared he WU not ? member of the
finance board of the company, and did
, not know whether it owned any rail?
way stock or not. Ile ..aid he eil in
n? Bray interested. The Sheehan pro
teat a? ai shelved.
Alfred A. Cook, counsel for the Third
Avenue company, pointed out at length
the financial illaesa of the company
an?! the reason- for ita application for
relief. He iiuoteil freely from the com?
pany's books and statistics to show a
decrease in receipts and an ever-climb
ing increase ?n expenses, during the last
two or three years. He declared that
the company aaould noav be in bankrupt?
cy if it hadn't bien for a good con?
tract for steel rails marie over a year
ago.
"Merely Seeking Fair Return"
Ile said that two cents extra chart?-?
for transfers might not be sufficient to
tare the company from the bankruptcv
court, and that he might ag.aiu have to
come to the commission with another
petition for further relief. He saul
that the company avas not asking big
dividends on stocks, but was mere.;,
seeking a fair and decent return on it .
investment.
"Th. pendulum of the clock has
i-aaung nae way for many years," he
?aid, "and must swing back. The Pub?
lic Service Commission mu?t rccogni/.e
.hu* 'he carrier ha.- reached a point
where it must have plain, simple ju
tice."
Replying to Mr. Cook's argument, Mr.
Ballia? ?i. charged that the company ex?
perts had been playing with ngaree,,
taking the revenues of one year Bl :
the operating expense- of another. H?
declared the figure- areeeated by the
company, showing a decrease in reve?
nue in 191")-'l?s, w.-re unfair, beean-,? a
large part of the loss in receipts during
that period aaa? due to strike courii
''ons, in which the public aaa- in no way
mteresteri. It avas brought, out also
that the line of 'buses run hy the Fifth
Avenue Coach Company, under -nee ii!
permit, to the Billa Sunday Tabernacle

pany's profits. The coach tSOBSpaay
Sled a reiiue.it with the eommiaaiofl
jraaterdajr for permleaioa to run tin
along upper Broadway for an?
other month.
"Should Look to Legislature"
Mr. Baldwin, while not conceding that
the company had not rere:-, ed "justice."
declare?! that if it BTBS lOekiag for tr.ore
ju-tice it shoul i look to the Legislature
and not to the Public Service Commis?
sion.
"The citv's ir.tenst is the interest of
the people." -aid Mr. Baldwin. "It
must be apparent to everybody that an
?nereaae of two cents m fare.-? aa.ll he a
serious impoaition. If the railroad ii
entitled to relief it is uo to them to find
the poaver vested ifl the Public Service
Commission to grant such relief. If
any such DOWOt ?an be found in Section
?19'of tiie public service law. it must t I
shown that the rates are not alone in
luAeient, but unju-t an?l unreasonable'
