 End To This Practice.
 Washington, Aug. 29--A systematic effort Is to be made by the Bureau of Immigration to put an end to what is popularly known as "the white slave traffic." which 1t Is asserted, has been conducted especially in cities on the, At lantic seaboard for a long time.
 On recommendation of Robert Watch orn, Immigration Commissioner at EI- lis Island. N. r., Miss Helen M Bulls has been appointed Immigration h. spector for this trafic. Miss Bulls re- gently has been connected with the Travellers Aid Society and has done much work along philanthropic and so- biological lines.
 Commissioner Watchorn says that de- spite the scrutiny with which immi- rgants are examined as to their right to enter the United States. many women of nom English speaking races are be- ing imported for immoral purposes. The method by which this is accomplished is 50 well devised that the victims of the importers practically invariably avoid detection by reason of the thor ough coaching they receive prior to their authorization for this country. Mir. Watchorn suggests that Miss Bullis is in position to furnish the depart ment with conclusive proof of the exist ence of the traffic.

 Tickets on Sidewalks.
 New York. Aug. 2s.--Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger have begun a new war on sidewalk spectators which has been crowned with immediate success. On Tuesday night agents of the New York theater were detailed to watch the spectators and when tickets were bought on the sidewalk the purchaser was followed to the door, where the doorkeeper was instructed to refuse admission to the holder of such tickets.
 The move resulted in much confusion as alterations between buyers and speculators were numerous, but the speculators in nearly every case were forced to return the ticket money.
 This. of course. was ,unprontable. Last night not one specuiator put in an appearance in New York.

 Terrible Disaster Near Quebec. MASS OF STEEL WORK
 IS A TANGLED WRECK
 s-e Many American Mechanics Go Down With Debris. Tugs Are Being Flashed Down the Riv- CT for Rescue Work With Thirty Doctors On
 Board.

Quebec, Aug. 2s.-The great Quebec bridge collapsed late this afternoon and now the vast mass of steel work lies tangled wreck. A careful esti- mate places the loss of life at eighty four.
 The bridge fell at exactly twenty three minutes to six this evening, just as many of the workmen were prepar- ing to leave. The accident was so ter- rible in it's effectiveness in wiping out the lives of the men employed that very little is known as to the cause of the disaster.
 The bridge was about a mile and a half in length and half of 1t, from the south shore to midstream, ,crumpled up and dropped into the water. Ninety men were at work on this section of the structure and the whistle had just blown at 5:30 for the men to quit work for the day. when they heard a grind ing sound from the bridge mid-stream. The men turned to see what had hap pened and an instant later the cry went up. The bridge is fallingp
 The men made rush shoreward, but the distance was too great for them to escape. The fallen section of the bridge dragged others after it. the snRpping girders and cables booming like crash of artillery. Terror lent fieetness to the feet of the frightened workmen as they sped shoreward, but only a few of them reached safety be- fore the last piece of iron works on the south shore was dragged into the river.
 Near the shore the wreckage of the bridge did not go below the surface of the water and eight workmen who 5 remained above water were rescued and taken to the hospital at Lewis.
 The steamer Glenmout had just cleared the bridge when the first sec tion fell. The water thrown up by the debris came clear over the bridge oe the steamer. The captain at once lowered boats. The small boats piled Backward and forward over the sunken wreckage for half an hour, but there was no signs of life. The twisted iron and steel had its victims in a terrible death grip. A few floating timbers and the broken strands of the bridge toward the north shore were the only signs that anything unusual had hap pened. There was not a ripple on the smooth surface of the St. Lawrence as 1t swept along toward the Gulf.
 All the men drowned were employees of the Phoenixville Bridge Company, and sub-contractors of Quebec and Montreal.
 Up to 10 o'clock tonight sixteen bodies had been picked up and of the eight men in the hospital, two are not expected to live throughout the night.
 The Quebec bridge was begun about seven years ago and it was to be fin- ished in 1909. Subsidies had been granted by the Federal and Provincial Governments and the city of Quebec, and the estimated cost of the work was S1O,O00,0 ,000.

Willard, N NJ, Dec. 19. The reg
ular trains over the A. T. & S. F. Cut
off commenced running Wednesd
-Four trains were put on, making the
run from Amarillo, Texas, to Albuquer-
que. This gives every town on the
Cutoff one full first class passenger
train each way every day, and is the
beginning of passenger service which
will be unequalled in New Mexico.
The $18, 900, 900 cutoff from Rio Puerco
to Texico is now completed so far as
the track is concerned, and only awaits
the rebuilding of the Panhandle line
from Wellington, Kansas, to Amarillo,
for the great Santa Fe system to divert
all of it's through mail, passenger and
freight business over the new line via
Willard. Ballast gangs are putting on
the ''dress coat" of granite ballast over
the entire cut off; workmen are engaged
in erecting the most modern type of
coal chutes at this and all other impor-
tant points; round house and termina
facilities are being rushed, and material
is beirg unloaded at Willard every day
for the immense building which will
house the mammoth pumping plant de-
signed to provide the road with water
at all stations between Rio Puerco and
the Pecos river. When the rebuilding
of the Panhandle line is complete, the
Santa Fe will begin to rush its extern
sion from Clovis to Brownwood, Texas.
This extension is designed to give an
