Charities, about the only difference be-
ing that the French girl could not be
cowed into submission to the will OF
the villainous procurer, Victor Lee

nate girls served to illustrate the man
ner in which the unscruplous procurers
among the foreign element in the bad

business. This last case may not ter
inmate as fortunately for the procurer
as did that of Camille Marcelline, as it
was stated at police headquarters last
evening that information had been OBJ
tanned to the effect that Schoolmeister
is in Jail in Spokane, having been ar
rested, it was said. at the instance of
his latest victim 1t is not known that
this is entirely authentic-that is, that
the girl had the man arrested-but 1t
is pretty certain he is in custody and,
as a precautionary measure, Chief Null
holland will ask the Spokane authors
ties to hold him pending the taking of
the necessary steps ito have him pun

ing he was uncertain whether the mat
ter should be brought to the attention
of the emigration commissioner at the
New York port and left for him to bring
the prosecution under the clause of the
immigration law providing for the pun
ishment of persons who bring women
from foreign countries to the United
States for immoral purposes. or whether
it should come up before United
States commissioner here. 1t is under
stood, however, that he will have adj
vice on the subject and it is promised
he will take the proper measures to see
that the man is punished as the case
against him is regarded a sure one.
Schoolmeister is commonly known
here as 'Belgidn Pete and he has a
most unsavory reputation. 1t is said
he has woman here who is his accom-
plice in the business of procuring ana IT
is promised that an effort will be made
to see that she shares in his punish
