Bennett White Slave Bill
Prevents Paying Pass
age From State to State
WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 11.—
By a viva voce vote today the
house passed the Bennett "White
Slave" bill.
The "White Slave” bill Is the re
sult of Investigation of the traffic in
alien women made by the National
Immigration Commission. Provision
Is made In the Bennett bill for the
deportation and exclusion of immor
al aliens, and for the exclusion and
punishment of their procurers.
The traffic In immoral women be
comes under the bill subject to the
restrictions of the Interstate com
merce laws. The measure makes It
a crime punishable by a line of not
more than 95,000 and imprisonment
for not more than ten years for any
person to provide a ticket
for auy person to go from one state
to another to engage in prostitution.
Opposition developed to that por
tion of the measure which makes It
a felony for any person to assist an
other to go from one state to another
for the purpose of engaging in pros
titution. It was contended by Rep
resentatives Bartlett of Georgia, Goe
bel of Ohio, and Richardson of Ala
bama, that such action would be an
encroachment upon states' rights,
as under the constitution each state
had the sole power to regulate its
own morals, but this was lost sight
of in the vote.
Representatives Bennett of New
York, Austin of Tennessee, Burnett
of Alnbatna and Adair of Indiana
spoke In favor of the bill, which Is
also ataned at the exclusion of im
moral aliens and the exclusion and '
punishment of their procurers.
NEW YORK. Jan. 12.—A • white'
slave" market haH been located by
District Attorney Whitman In his in
quiry Into the immoral traffic, which

Rockefeller, Jr., Is foreman.
Girls of tender years, it is alleged,
are lured to this selling place and
from thence shipped to Boston, Chi
cago and other cities. The district
attorney is searching for the man
who controls this white slave market.
George Klbbe Turner, a magazine
writer, gave Mr. Rockefeller and th0|
Jurymen today all the evidence he
had obtained on the question. Mr.
Rockefeller wanted to know if there
is alive In New York a "syndicate of
sin.”
Statements of several girls have
been taken and will be part of the
grand Jury's records. The police to
day took Into custody Paul I), ltinke,
a waiter, and charged him with be
ing a white stave agent.

RICHARD A. BALLINGER, SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
The forthcoming Investigation of the department of the Interior is con
templated at Washington with much apprehension on the part of adherents
of both sides to the controversy. Those who follow events closely and are
on the Inside, or, rather, are familiar with otHclal a Hairs, believe that a
sensation will result before the senate committee gets far Into the Inquiry.
Whether discredit will fall upon the Ballinger or the I'lncbot forces no one
seems Inclined to say, but the common talk Is that somebody Is bound to
"get hurt.” Mr. Ballinger declares he courts the fullest Investigation possible.
BLUEF1ELDS, Jan. 12.—General
Chamorro* telegraphs that a decis
ive battle will be fought at Acoyapa.
The message now made public was
sent on Monday last.
At that time 3,000 provisionals
with twenty cannon and eight rapid
ii.'e guns had been concentrated and
were moving on the government
forces entrenched at Acoyapa.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—A tele
gram received at the State depart
ment this afternoon from Bluefields
says, in effect, that the indications
are that a majority of the prisoners
raptured at the battle near Rama by
the revolutionists will join Estrada’s
army very soon. Estrada, it is said,
will supply the prisoners with pro
visions, independent of the American
Red Cross.
The state department has also re
ceived a long telegram from New Or
leans signed by over a dozen commer
cial and industrial companies, appar
ently all Americans and engaged in
business in Nicaragua, strongly fa
voring Estrada for provisional presi
dent. They believe the revolutionary
general would afford full protection
to their interests. Madriz, the tele
gram says, would likely follow the
old Zelaya regime, greatly to the
detriment of the business interests
of Nicaragua.

Favor Pinchot and Want
Reforms, But No Com
petition bySmailRaisers
DENVER, Jan. 12.—“The high
minded and excellent” administration
of Glfforu i'mchot was endorsed in a
resolution presented before the Na
tional Livestock association today. ,
The resolution demands the con
tinuance of the Pinchot policies of
administration of the forest reserves
by his successor and urges the Fed
eral control of public grazing lands
with a lease law adequate to protect
the cattlemen.
Other resolutions introduced com
mend the work of the Department of
Agriculture; condemn “unfair dis
crimination” of the Payne tariff bill
and the oleomargarine bill; urge the
appointment of a non-partisan tariff
commission and authorize a petition
to the Interstate Commerce Commla
r’on to reduce the terminal charges
on livestock at Chicago.
President H. A. Jaatro and Vice
President Murdo MacKenzie vehe
mently denied the statement that
there was a beef shortage at the aft
ernoon session of the association,
which was turned over to the Beef
Producers’ association.
They opposed the campaign of pub
! llcity urging the farmer and home
! steader to raise cattle and declared
'that so long as $200,000,000 worth
of beef was exported each year there
was no danger of shortage.
"The price of beef in Chicago is
regulated by the price received for
our surplus cattle shipped aborad,"
said Mr. MacKenzie. “The howl that
present prices are putting beef be
yond the reach of the poor ntan is un
warranted. It is true that if the
consumer demands the choice cute
he muBt pay for them, but beef and
good beef is within the reach of all.
Had it not been for the increase in
value of their lands, cattlemen could
not have continued in the business
at prices that have prevailed In the
past. At present prices stockmen
are Just beginning to realize a fair
return on their investments. What
we should advocate is better cattle,
not more of them. It is a terrible
mistake to urge the farmers and
homesteaders to enter the cattle busi
ness.”
