GIRLS SOLD AS SLAVES.
Washington and Chicago Authorities
Cooperate to Stop Traffic.

Washington and Chicago Authorities
Cooperate to Stop Traffic.
As a result of the revelations of
traffic in American girls in the Orient
United States authorities are continuing,
with the police of Chicago, their inves-
tigation to uncover the operations of
band of women in New York, Chicago,
San Francisco, Hongkong and Shanghai.
Enough has already been learned to
move Chief of Police Collins of Chicago
to order one woman to leave the city.
Chief Collins declared he had informa-
ton that the system of enticing white
girls from the country to become the life
long slaves of rich merchants and man
darins in China is national in its scope
and is controlled by a regularly organ
lied syndicate having Chicago Tor its
headquarters. 1t is also revealed that
the immigration officials at Washington
have been conducting a secret investiga-
ton into this form of white slave traffic
for some time.
The authorities encounter the principal
difficulty in attacking the system because
of their inability thus far to secure the
testimony from the victims. In almost
every instance the women leave this
country never TO return. After being
enticed to the Orient by agents of the
syndicate. who hold out promises of re-
munerative positions as mattresses in
American hotels or other employment,
the women are declared to be sold for
prices ranging from $500 to $1,000.
Taken into the interior, they become the
slaves of their masters and are heard
from no more. In his possession, Chief
Collins has the names of many women
who are now supposed to be in China
and whose chances for escape are hope
less.
The disclosures affecting the women In
Chicago came from an investigation by
Canadian officials into the disappear
ance from Chicago of four young women
from Montreal and the sale of one Of
them in Shanghai later.
