TRAFFIC IN JAPANESE GIRLS.
Inning ration Ofiieers Begin a Crusade to
Stamp II Out on the Pacific Coast.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The Japanese
| girls brought to Seattle, Wash, for i'm
moral purposes have been ordered de-
ported by Commissioner General Sar gent
OF the immigration service. This is the
beginning Of crusade In Pacific Coast
States to stamp out the traffic in Japanese
women who are brought to this country
for that purpose.
Conditions in Seattle, according to re-
ports received at the immigration BUREAU,
are most deplorable. and in at least one OF
the recent cases brought to the attention
Of the authorities the man who imported
the girl will be prosecuted by the Govern
ment. This girl came to the United States
under contract She had full know ledge
Of what was to become Of her after her
arrival on the Pacific Coast. Under the
contract, she was to divide her earnings
with her alleged protector evidence against
whom has been secured from the girl and
Others having knowledge of the trans
action.
A quiet investigation has been set on
foot to ascertain Just how extensive the
trade in Japanese girls has become on the
Pacific Coast. 1t is understood that re-
ports received at the immigration Bureau
tell a most revolving story, and as far as
the officials are advised conditions are
worse in Seattle than in any other city on
the authorities where Japanese girls have
lived with supposedly respectable Japan
ese merchants as their wives, and at the
same time piled their Illicit traffic. In the
future the most viglant surveillance will be
exercised over all japanese women arriv-
ing on the coast, and a watch will be kept
on those now in this country where the cir
cumstances are at all suspicious.
The case Of the sixteen geisha girls
at the st. Louis fair who are resisting
efforts that have been made to return
them to their native country excites much
interest among the immigration authorities.
A hearing is now In progress in st. Louis
before the local inspectors. The girls
claim to be artists and assert that they
desire to remain in this country for a the
atrical tour, This is accepted with a grain
Of salt by the officials. The geishas have
been watched at st. Louis and their actions
have been frowned upon by the local authori-
tiles. Unless new evidence is presented
the chances are that the geishas will soon
be placed on a steamship bound for the
Orient.
