Kneeland Gives Secrets of White Slave Traffic. "Weil Kept Man Decked With Gems" Is Typical Owner of Resorts in Gotham, Writer Asserts Busi ness Is Specialized. New York. Commercialization of vice in New York city is described in the first four studies of the social evil to be published by the New York bu reau of social hygiene. The book, pub lished by the Century company, is en- . titled "Commercialized Prostitution In New York City" and is written by George J. Kneeland. the chief investi gator of the bureau, who was also the chief of the workers under the Chi cago, vice commission. The report, which is introduced by a foreword by John D. Rockefeller. Jr., says 15,000 women of the under world ply their trade in one borough of New York alone. It scores the low dance hall as a chief cause of vice. Poverty is given a secondary place as a cause. Mr. Kneeland hoids that of tener women are victims In their Ig norance of the agents of commercial- . ized vice. J'Jt is idle," he says, "to explain --away the phenomena on the ground that they are the results of the inevit able weakness of human nature; hu man weakness would demand far few er and less horrible sacrifles. :Most of the wreckage and the worse of it is due to persistent cun ning and unprincipled exploitations; to the banding together in famous en terprises of madame, procurer, brothel .keeper and liquor vender to carry on deliberately a cold blooded traffic for r their joint profit, a traffic but it add- ed, from which the girl involved pro- cures at the most, with few excep tions, her bare subsistence, and that only so long as she has a trade value." "Prostitution has become a busi ness," Mr. Kneeland writes, "the pro moters of which continually scan the field for a location favorable to their operations, and the field is the entire FEWER ARE Steamship Agents Blame Decrease of 30 Per Cent. Chiefly on the , ' Recent Floods. New York. Up to May 8 the first cabin passenger traffic between this port and Europe was 357 ahead, of the same period in 1912 west-bound and '138 bookings ahead east-bound. . The . second-cabin passenger traffic showed an increase of 15,000 west-bound and 2,434 east-bound from Jan. 1 to May 8 over last year. Traffic east-bound from now on will he about 30 per cent, below last year, according to the steamship agents. I This, they say, is chiefly due to the number of cancellations of bookings made in January and February by persons who were sufferers by the floods in the middle west and by the tornado In the Mississippi valley. - Generally the year of the presiden tial election is a poor one for foreign travel, but 1912 was a very good year. Cancellations have been made in :the last few days not only on the older Oriental Traveling Courtesies. ; 7 - On the railway . journ ey from .

No legitimate enter prise is more shrewdly managed from this point of view; no variety of trade adjusts itself more promptly to condi tions, transferring its activities from one place to another as opportunities contract here and expand, there. - "While keepers of houses are also procuers, there is a group of men who devote themselves singly to this work. These are the typical 'white slavers, whose trade depends entirely upon the existence of houses of prostitution. The cadet has not yet developed into a professional procuer or keeper of a house. He enters the business when he either ruins a young , girl for his future profit or becomes the lover and protector of a prostitute already in the business. ' "The women who run houses have, as a rule, risen from the ranks. They were once street walkers or parlor house -inmates, who possess unusual business talents. They have learned the scerets of the trade; they know the kind of Inmates to get and where to get them. "For several years thirty $1 houses of prostitution In the tenderloin have been operated as a 'combine' under the direct control of 15 or more men. The Individuals in question have been in business for many years in New York city as well as in other cities, both In this country and abroad. They: buy and sell shares In these houses among themselves, and it is seldom that an outsider, unless he be a relative, can break into the circle and share in the profits. "The value of the shares depends upon the ability of the owners to maintain . conditions in which the houses, being unmolested, are per mitted to make large profits. "If a composite photograph could be made of typical owners of vice resorts it would show a large, well fed man about 40 years of age and 5 feet 8 inches in height His clothes are the latest cut, loud in design, and careful ly pressed. A heavy watch chain adorns his 'waistcoat, a large diamond sparkles in flashy necktie, and his fat, chubby fingers are encircled -with gold and diamond rings.

The Atlantic, steamship companies look to the middle' west and the -west for the . bullc of their summ er, tourist traffic, and the "sudden falling off in the demand for cabin accommodation and the cancellations came, as a sur prise to them. . A few of the more op timistic agents', hope that there will be a boom in the European tourist traffic later on, but . it will have to come soon to have any effect on the trade. , -.' ... ' ' .

FIND HISTORIC GIVE Flood at B attle Ground, Ind., Washes out Skeletons.; Jesuit. Missionary . and Indians Be . lieved to Have Been Buried . There In Seventeenth Cen- ; tury Silver Cros Is , on Bones. Battle Ground, Ind. Guy Fisher, a farmer boy living near Battle Ground, Ind.. stumbled on to a strange find a few . days ago near the mouth of the Tippecanoe river that may be of considerable historic interest Many small mounds of earth are to be seen In the neighborhood which is named for the battle of Tippecanoe between Gen. Harrison and Tecumseh's war riors. Some of these have been open ed ' from . time to time, and ' relics of the red men have been found in them, hut the latest is considered one of the most important yet unearthed in that district. ; ; : Recent high "water from the Tippe-. canoe and. Wabash - rivers and "Wild Cat creek inundated the entire coun tryside. Young Fisher was going over the territory contiguous to the joining of the Tippecanoe and Wa bash rivers after the water had re ceded and found one of the larger of the mounds washed out.Uncoyerel by the "waters but undisturbed were" five skeletons. The center one of the quintet was larger than the others, and upon It rested a heavy , cross, known to antiquarians as the "Jesuit double cross.". The young man, after making these discoveries, dug lower Into the f pot and found a stone pipe, several hand fuls , of arrow and spear heads of stone, a curious copper ornament, two metal buttons and several other small stone articles, both Implements of peace nd war. It is supposed ' by some that the larger of the five men for all the skeletons have been determined as those of males was a Jesuit mission ary, while the others are supposed to have been Indians. History tells of the burial of De La Salle, the French explorer who was in the Northwest territory in the year 1680, In the Mississippi river, after he had been disappointed in his venture of the. Griffin, which he dis patched from the head of Lake Huron. The boat never returned from its voy age to Niagara and the Frenchman started on the long trip of 1,500 miles to Canada, first going down the Mis sissippi for supplies in two canoes with an Indian hunter and four French companions.. It is supposed that the skeletons found are' those of men who either were In De La Salle's party or who. met the Jesuit mission ary, Marquette, who . later went through the section. It is known that Marquette was through that part of the country and some students are of the opinion that the skelentos are those of four fol lowers of the Marquette party and one of the Jesuit's group of missionaries. Some have asserted the larger body is that of an Indian and not a white man, that he was the chief of a tribe and had been converted to the Chris tian religion by the Marquette party. The position, of the body and its con dition seem to Indicate this, accord ing to those holding the; latter view of the case. Red Hens Lay Enormous Eggs. . Indiana, Pa.

'REYNOLDS WILL GET BUSY Department of Justice Has Investiga tors at Work. Securing Evidence to Be Used in Many Cases To Force . Competitive Conditions. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington. It has ' been made plainly apparent that President Wil son and the Democratic ' leaders In Congress think that if this country'c manufacturers and producers 'would change their methods of work they would have no reason to fear ap proaching tariff changes. The Presi dent has expressed himself as believ ing that because high protection has afforded such good shelter for Ameri can concerns they have neglected opportunities to conduct ' their busi ness In a way which would make high protedrirn' ' unnecessary y and which would enable them to sell things at a lower price and ' to earn as much dividend money as they earn today. This is the expressed Democratic vivw. - " It was in connection with his words on pernicious lobbying that the Pres ident allowed his -views on business methods to become known. He thinks app&rantly that this country can com pete with the world and "with itself," continue to pay high wages and con tinue to -make money even if certain and sundry articles are put upon the free . list. For New Trust Legislation. When V-e tariff bill is. passed and signed, taking fcr granted that the law will read nearly as the bill reads at present American competition will have an opportunity to show what it can do when brought Into the contest against products which are manufac tured or grown in other countries. Attorney General McReynolds, who under ' Theodore Roosevelt and Will iam H. Taft had considerable experi ence as a government investigating and prosecuting officer, is still on tho trusts' trail, and when overtaken each trust is to be led to court, in which a good many of them already have had experience. When the Sherman aw is amended In accordance with Mr. Wilson's view of " what proper changes should be, the Attorney Gen eral probably will have to " go into court or send others into court for him, to present cases under new con ditions. Mr. Wilson's thought, as he has expressed it 3 veral times, is that every combination which is found to be in restraint at trade can be dis solved into integral parts and each part forced to compete with every other part for business, and that each part can do it without bringing hard- ships, to holders of stock or to the interests of the business community generally. - - . Want. Actual Dissolution. It is the intention of the Democ racy, so the party men say, to make the dissolution of all combinations in restraint of trade actual - instead of merely apparent There are Demo cratic leaders 'willing, to say that the great corporations . which seemingly have been split up can be actually split up, and that they can be made to compete, to sell their goods at a lower price and yet continue to make money and; pay good dividends. To accomplish these things is the Job which the Democratic party In Con gress and in the White. House has ahead of it after the tariff and cur rency, are out of the way. As things are now. the Attorney General is busy. He has investigators at work in the New England railroad field to get all the facts not yet brought to light concerning the , trans portation monopoly there - said to exist. In Oregon and Washington representatives of the Attorney Gen eral's department are looking into telephone matters with a view to de termining if a trust contrary to law is there exploiting itself. Policy of Old Line Republicans, Washington politicians of all parties still continue to be actively interested in the outcome of the meeting of the Republican national committee- which will be called by Chairman Hilles at any time that he chooses within sixty days after the adjournment of con gress, whenever that may W - - Republicans of the' progressive and conservative factions are still talking about what was done when the exec utive committee of the national com mittee of the party met here and what is to be done in the future, but it is plainly evident from "what they say that the strongest belief of all of them is that the regeneration of the Repub lican party will not come" from' a con vention; but from disaster which the Republicans think and say is to be brought about by a Democratic tariff and a Democratic currency system..; It is thev old line Republicans who are the more insistent that the party, Instead of holding a convention with the" hope of . getting the two factions together, should "wait on ' the other party's follies for the chance of restor ation to power." The Republicans known as Btandpatter3 apparently do not want 'the national committee ' to call a convention They seem to be convinced that only a few reforms in party methods are necessary and that there is no tieed of giving heed to progressive-Republican demands for changes looking to the initiative and referendum, suffrage, presidential pri maries or any ; of the ether . thlnjjs which progresslvism has demanded ftor years and oa the denial of which by the last Republican convention some millions of Republicans split away and formed the Progressive par ty, v:-;: ' - . No Certainty of a 'Convention. There seems , to have been a very wide misunderstanding about what was done by the executive committee of the Republican national committee when it met in Washington. This mis understanding, has grown with the days since the committee departed, for certain words of the leading commit teemen were misinterpreted at the start and it was taken for granted that the national committee would be cer-" tain to caira convention. The fact Is that all that was done by the execu tive committee in Washington was to call a meeting of the national commit tee end to ask it to decide certain questions. " It Is known definitely that the ma jority of the members of the national committee do nolf want to call a con vention and that all they want to do Is to "change on their own authority the apportionment of southern repre sentation in Republican conventions, to declare for the principle of the pres idential primaries and ' then - to ad journ. " Progressives Are Content. The Progressives in Washington say that they are entirely content with the action of the Republican party's execu tive committee. By Progressives are meant the members of the new party and not the progressive-Republicans. The nevr party men say that the freely expressed belief of old line Repub licans that' the results of Democratic law making alone will be sufficient to return the old party to power is in itself enough to hold the Progressives together as a ' party . and to . further alienate from the old party the affec tions of progressive-Republicans. The Progressives, and the progressive-Republicans, too, for that matter, 6ay that unless the Republican party declares for the advanced policies for which ' progressivism. both with the small p and a capital P has stood, the Progressive party will have many ad ditional members drawn from the ranks of progressive Republicanism. immediately after it is made plain that the old line Republicans will not stand for the platform of advanced princi ples. The old liners, however, say that the Democrats are bound to fail and that hard times will put the old Republican party on its feet. The Democrats see no failure and are con tent and perhaps happy as they view the troubles of their opponents. Senate Is Changing.- Hereafter members of the congres sional committees of the three parties that is provided the : Progressive party shall decide that a congressional committee is necessary will have the additional duty of directing the cam paign for the election of United States senators... The coming change in the method of the election of senators ia affecting the proceedings in the up per house. Realizing that they are now directly responsible to the peo ple rather than to the legislatures, some -of the senators are showing si change of manner and method. For years numerously, signed peti tions praying for or against legisla tion have been received daily by the senators of the United States. : These petitions - have been duly and -with proper formality presented to the sen ate, but only rarely has there been a word said at presentation time con cerning the nature of the petition or the standing of the persons or organ izations who had giv.en it their sig natures.' Today some of the senators are presenting these petitions with spoken words enough to let the peo ple back home who ' are ; Interested know that their upper , house repre sentative is on duty and will give their cause ajl proper consideration, and ."support If It seems best." New Methods For Old Timers. Some of the old time senators seeking re-election will have to learn new lessons in politics, or else must restudy those which , they learned when they were 'members of the low er house or of the home states' legis latures. It is one thing to prepare for a campaign before a legislature, and It is another thing to prepare for one in which some hundreds of thou sands of ' voters will ; have a direct shot at the target. Time after. tim th direct election of senators pro position . was ,voted down in the sen ate of the United States. It finally was given to the states to decide by the votes of upper house men who stammered with reluctance when they voted "aye." The dreaded: thing Is to come and "hereafter the honor ables and more or less ancients not to put It; the other: way. will be com pelled to make a plain case before the people. ; - , Washington wants to know what effect the direct election of senators Is going to have on the rules and the general nature of the proceedings in the upper house. Prior to the time that direct election was assured there were occasional threats : that the rules of t'ae ' upper . house would be changed I s order that debate Wight be shut off and the passage of legislation expedited. Former ' Sena tor. Aldrich" once made a , threat to this effect or" rather ."'.suggested a threat ': . ': - . .. Some of Ihe senators today fear that the result cf direct elections is to be the making of a second .house tint of the senate. Other senators say that this fear, is groundless because the "deliberative character" of the senate is the thing which' makes for proper consideration of - legislation passed hurriedly by the representatives, and that the country realizes the necessity of adequate discussion of all bills be fore their final adoption. v Of Jus'Jce. .' , :' "They have ra minister of fustics. ia Mexico." . - , "He must be a humorist," : $l,0flfl;000 FIRE BIG BLAZE IN LONG ISLAND CITY BATTALION OF FIRE MEN HURT.
