THE DEVELOPMENTS in Philadelphia
which have brought searchlight to
bear ON worldwide syndicate organ
lied for the purpose of supplying the
main cities of the world with young girls
of tender years destined to tread the
paths of shame, have caused no little
exasperation not only in the Quaker
City. but in many other places in the
United States. There are already many
trusts, amalgamations and syndicates in
this country, and the evils enacted by
them are Justly complained OF from
Dan to Beerskeba, but the announce
ment that an international syndicate
existed for the purpose stated above has
astonished millions and brought the
blush of shame to the faces of as many
more. This gigantic organization has
ono carried on its nefarious traffic in
Europe, and the streets of cities on the
opposite side of the ocean swarm with
abandoned women. IL is computed
that at least sixty thousand stray
through the streets of London every
night. They are of all nationalities and
are carried to the British metropolis by
men who amass fortunes in the traffic.
The same conditions exist in Paris and
all continental cities, and now the
United States is found to contain an
agency for the syndicate. Millions OF
dollars are spent yearly for the propaga-
ton of the Gospel in the so-called be-
nighted regions of the earth, while with
all the glitter and glamor of modern
civilization of the twentieth century
such scenes are presented in what are
called Christian nations. Licentiousness
formed prominent features of the wor-
ship of classic days and occasionally we
see them reproduced in our time.
We hear much about the i'm
proved moral condition of the world, but
it must be apparent to observant people
that the same depraved tastes which
characterized the inhabitants Of Cornith,
Pompeii, Herculaneum and other cities
of ancient times are in evidence now.

NECKLACE FORFEITED.

Judge Adams, in the United States
District Court in New York, yesterday
afternoon directed the jury in the pearl
necklace case to return verdict in favor
of the government. He said that Mrs.
Ida Harrison Dulles had failed to comply
with the requirement of the customs
service and declare the pearls, and that
they should, therefore, be forfeited.
They are value at 5000 Judge
Adams said that the United States had
provided certain methods for the bring
ing into this country Of baggage, and
there could be no doubt as to how il
should properly be done. "After this
lady came on the stand" he said, adj
dressing the jury, "and testified, there
was no doubt in my mind as to the
real status of this case. Mrs. Dulles
showed by the evidence that she knew
Just what she was talking about and
what she was doing. She knew when
she purchased that necklace in Paris
that It was dutiable. She says she was
told she would have to pay out ~ pei
cent. on it. But at any rate she knew
it was subject to duty. Section 3OSl
provides that any person who shall
frauduIently or knowingly bring into
this country any dutiable articles OF
merchandise shall fail to declare the
same such goods or merchandise shall be
forfeited. OF course we all sympathiz'
with this lady-that is natural-but
cannot permit sympathy to interiors
with my duty any more than you
gentlemen of the jury, can. ! therefore
direct you to return verdict in tavo
of the government and for the forfeiture
of this property" Mrs. Dulles neck
lace will now be condemned and sold

Train Robbers Make Rich Haul.

Davenport, Iowa, Nov. 22.-Fifteen
masked bandits derailed the westbound
express train on the Rock Island road
three miles west of here this morning,
drove the messenger from the iron strong
box of the United States Express Com
pany, dynamited the safe, secured all OF
its contents, making one of the richest
hauls on record in this section, and escap-
ed. SO far as known none of the pas
sengers was molested but it is feared
that harm befell the express messenger.
The scene of the robbery is lonely spot
heavily screened by dense growth OF
timber. When the news was received
at police headquarters in this city the
chief of police and ten officers started in
pursuit of the robbers. Officials here
say that unless the nights business was
exceptionally small there might have
been anywhere from $25, 600 to $75, 900
in the company's safe besides other valu-
abIes.

Mr.. Allen introduced a resolution de-
claring it the sense of the general as
sembly that commissioners of the reve-
nue. should be elected by the people. Mr..
Lee, of Fairfax, had introduced bill in
the House providing for the appoint
ment of commissioners by the county
boards of supervisors, and Mr.. Lyle had
offered one in the Senate to permit the
circuit court to appoint them. This
resolution was, therefore, warmly antag-
onized and finally tabled.
The House passed the following bills:
To regulate the speed of automobiles and
limiting it to fifteen miles an hour.
For the relief of any county or city
treasurer who has lost the school war
rant issued to any county or city treas
urer. and to authorize the auditor OF

candidacy of Captain Johnston AS for
himself, he felt that a man who had
been selected by Senator Morgan to pre-
sent his name to the joint caucus OF the
two Houses for the nomination for Sena-
tor need pay no attention to such filings
at his Democracy.
The Ex-Governor had said in his speech
that he was not candidate for Senator
and IL elected Governor he expected to
serve out his term. He would not dis
pute this but would call the peoples at
tention to the fact that there would be
a Johnston ticket out In nearly every
county. and II Johnston was elected Gov
ernor he would also doubtless control
the Legislature, the legislature would
elect Senator, and while the new Con-
stitution says the Governor shall not be
elected Senator curing the term for
which he is elected, the Federal Senate
would not recognize any such restriction
and would seat any man, Governor or
not, who went to Washington after hav-
ing been elected by the Legislature OF
this state Now, the Governor started
out in this campaign as running to vim
dictate himself In his speech here he
said that he was running in Difference
10 the overwhelming call of the masses
of the people to run in their interests and
tnht ne cOulu never IeslbL SuCh CdAl.
In case a Johnston Legislature Is elected
how long would it be before IAN irresist-
ibie and over whelming CALI would come
from the people for him to accept the
office of Senator? Would this man who
Is so ready to answer such calls and who
manages to be called so frequently, be
able to resist such a call? II Is to be
feared that he would not.
The speaker closed with an earnest and
eloquent appeal for all men who loved
the right, who believed In purity in poll
tics, who desired the advancement of
the State along all the lines that make
a State great, to rally to the support of
the new Constitution and to hold up the
hands of those who were attempting to
uphold the organic law Of the State.
Although a heavy rain came up during
the course of the speech only a few Ia
dies left the house. the remainder of the
audience listening to the speaker with
close attention and frequently applaud
ing his bursts of eloquence and telling
points. At the conclusion OF the speech
many went forward and congratulated
him, assuring him of their endorsement
of what he had said.
