VILE TRAFFIC. IN CHICAGO.
The Chicago Council Graft Commit
tee Stands Aghast at Revela-
lions Uncovered.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Members of the
council graft committee have probed
SO deeply into corruption in the levee
district that they stand appalled, at the
result.
In the mass of evidence before the
committee is the fact, proved to the
satisfaction of the members, that a
criminal traffic in human beings exists
with the knowledge and under the pro-
lection of the police.
The Investigators have before them
the statement that young girls and
boys are stolen, sold into slavery,
stripped and held prisoners in rooms
until they have been led to lives of
shame and crime.
Evidence in hand is said to show
that the evil is not confined to a few
cases, but that it has been reduced to a
business. The traffic, according to the
information in the hands of the COM
mittee, has existed for years.
Chairman Hartman of the graft
committee, says that this is only one
of the various hideous conditions Of
the Levee district, that the committee
is e~ndeavoring to make public.
Several high police officials are in
volved as well as the officers on the
beat who winked at the crime and the
system by which tribute is levied up
on abandoned women and criminals.

DIDN'T SURPRISE BROWNS
A Maneuver Not On the Programme
Sprung by Col. Wagner.
The Brown Army, While in BivOuac,
Suddenly Attacked by a Force Of
Blues Before Daylight.

Fort Riley, Kas., Oct. 31.-Col. Wag-
ner, the chief umpire, sprung a sur
prise upon the troops from Camp San
ger, who were Thursday night, in BIZ
vouac along the Republican river and
on the flats between here and Junction
City. Just before daylight the Blue
army, commanded by Col. Augur, con-
sisting of two regiments of infantry,
three squadrons Of cavalry and two
batteries, made a sudden attack upon
the Brown army under Lieut.-Col.
Wheeler. The latter commander had
with him two regiments and a bat
talon of infantry, three squadrons Of
cavalry AND two batteries. The fight
was not down as part of the maneu-
vers, and before the order to attack
was delivered to Col. Augur, but two
persons in the camp, Col. Wagner and
Gen. Bates, knew of the plan. While
the officers of the Brown army had no
information that they were to be at
tackled, they were on their guard
against such an attempt by the Blues.
Their outposts were alert and the
alarm was quickly given to the main
body. The attack was forced with
great rapidity by Col. Augur, whose
chief chance of success lay in his abili-
ty to surprise the Blue army. There
was confusion and uproar in the camp
of the latter when the men were hur-
rying to their places in the line and it
was some little time before the troops
We're able to fight back effectively.
Col. Augur had the advantage of the
higher ground at the opening of the
fight, but the Blues fought back
strongly and in a very short time had
entirely recovered from their surprise.
The fight continued until daylight
enabling the umpires to observe the
relative positions held by two forces,
when hostilities ceased and the troops
returned to Camp Sanger.

The TEA GROWERS OF INDIA
Ceylon, Japan and India Will Ex-
hibit Wares at Worlds Fair.
h Directors Have Allotted h Tea
Association Space For
an East Indian Pavilion.

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis, Oct.
S1.-Application for space for pa
vilion for India has been made by Mr..
r. Bletchynden, of Calcutta, India. An
area, 150x100 feet, fronting on the ave-
nue. just east of the Forestry, Fish and
Game building, has been tentatively al
lotted by the director of works.
On the area allotted the Tea Growers
Association of India. which Mr..
Bletchynden represents, proposes to
erect a reproduction of the famous
tomb of Ermad-Dowlah, at Agra, India.
This tomb has many OF the minarets
and dubious dome accessories which
have made a worldwide reputation for
the Tai Mahal at the same place. AS the
Tai Mahal is of white marble. inlaid
with jewels, it was decided that the
other tomb could be reproduced more
effectively.
In this pavilion the association pur-
poses selling or giving away tea, cof-
fee, cardamon and pepper, and to give
a demonstration of the value Of the tea
or coffee by selling or giving away the
beverages in cups or glasses. They
also purpose bringing over from Is to
20 natives to make and dispose Of the
beverages.
There have now been applied for
three spaces for tea exhibits-Ceylon,
Japan and India. In each of these ap-
plications the government participates
semi-oficially. 1t is likely that China
will also make a similar application.
Mr.. Bletchynden gave the following
analysis of the annual imports Of tea
of the United States which has caused
the eagerness of the tea growers to
make exhibits: Formosa colony, 18,2O0,-
900 pounds; Japanese, 40, 0O0, 900 pounds;
Chinese, black, 100000 pounds; Chi
nese, green, $4,000, 900 pounds; Ceylon
and India, 26, 900, 900 pounds.

AN UNUSUAL REQUEST.
Attorney General Crow of Missouri
Asks For a Jury to Try a Case
Before the Supreme Court.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Oct. 31.-Attor-
ney General Crow, Friday, made appli-
cation to the supreme court for a jury
to try the issues of fact in his custer
suit against the Terminal Railroad AS
ISOLATION of st. Louis for alleged VIOLA
tiOn, of the antitrust laws of Missouri.
1t has been many years, if ever before,
that the supreme court of Missouri has
had a trial by jury before it, but Atty
Gen. Crow said the statutes provided
for such trials and he desired it. The
application was opposed by Judge
Williams, for the railroad company,
who contended that his company in it's
answer had set forth facts which did
not bring it within that statute. The
application was taken under advise
ment by the court.

NO ESCAPE FOR CHAS. KRAFT.
If the st. Louis Authorities Can Es-
tablish n Prfma Facfe Case
They Get Their Man.

Mexico City, Mexico, Oct. 31-A high
department official of the Mexican gov
eminent admits that there is no es-
cape from Charles Kratz, the fugitive
boodler, provided the st. Louis author
itics a make a prima facie case
against him. Since this Is a foregone
conclusion, there seems to be little
doubt that the former councilman will
have to return to ST. Louis and face a
jury.
Kratz' attorney has given up his at
tempt to procure his clients release
on bond, since the application has been
positively denied by the district Judge
at Guadalajara and by the department
of foreign affairs on appeal.
Kratz, it is said, is now beginning to
realize that the American authorities
are after him in earnest, though he
took the proceedings in the light of a
farce at first.
1t is understood that Kratz has asked
the advice of his friends relative to
going back to st Louis voluntarily and
throwing himself upon the mercy of
the court, so thoroughly alarmed has
he become.

BLOODY CONFLICT IN PARIS
Forty-Five Policemen and One Hun
bred Rioters Injured.
of Employment Bureau in OPP
position to Working Class.

Paris, Oct. 30.-As a result of fight
ing between police and rioters Thurs
day As policemen were injured, a large
number of them seriously, 100 rioters
were badly wounded, and 103 arrests
were made.
The riot grew out of the opposition
to the establishment by the government
of an employment bureau. Over 5000
persons gathered in front of the labor
exchange (Bourse de Travai) to heal
speeches in opposition to the bureau.
The authorities, in anticipation of
disorders, had occupied the nearby
streets with a strong force of military
and police. The first speaker urged
the crowd to await the result Of the
parliamentary inquiry, which, it was
predicted, would report a measure for
the suppression of the municipal en-
ployment at bureaus. Other speakers
who followed made inflammatory
speeches, crying: Down with the en-
ployment officers" The crowd there
upon rushed from the building, and
about 1000 swept into the Rue du
Chateu d'Eau, where a formidable bar
rier of police had been drawn up.
A free fight followed, but the rioters
gave way before a charge of the police.
The manifestants then entered cafes
and shops, seized glasses, tables and
chairs and renewed the struggle with
the police.
While the fighting was in progress
members of the Bourse de Trevail
stood at the windows, encouraging the
rioters and shouting to the police: GAS
sassins," "Assassins." In order to
prevent further disturbances, it is re-
ported that the minister of the interior
has forbidden holding the meeting
which had been called for Thursday
night at the Bourse de Travail.
Later the rioting was renewed. The
police determined to clear out the
Bourse de Travail, but the rioters bar
ricaded the place and threw projectiles
from the windows, wounding a number
of policemen. The military later were
compelled to use swords, and a bloody
conflict followed.
