WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC
Bureau Of immigration Will En-.
deayor to Stop Practice.
LADY INSPECTOR ON DUTY
Believed She viii Be Able to Secure
Conclusive Proof Against immi-
grants and Those Responsible for
the Existence of the Present Evil.

Washington, Aug 30.-A systematic
effort is to be made by the bureau OF
immigration to put an end to what is
popularity known as "the white slave
traffic." which, it is asserted, has been
conducted especially in cities on the
Atlantic seaboard for long time.
On recommendation of Robert Wat
chorn, immigration commissioner at
Ellis Island, N T., Miss Helen M. Bull
lis has been appointed an immigration
inspector for the particular purpose
OF developing information regarding
this traffic. Miss Bulls recently has
been connected with the Travellers
Aid society and has done much work
along philanthropic and sociological
lines.
Commissioner Watchorn says that
despite the scrutiny with which immi-
grants are examined as to their right
to enter the United States many wo-
men of non-English speaking races are
being imported for immoral purposes.
The method by which this is accom-
plished is so we'll devised that the
victims of the importers, practically
invariably avoid detection by reason
OF the thorough coaching they receive
prior to their embarkation for this
country. Mr.. Watchorn suggests that
Miss Bulls is in a position to furnish
the department conclusive proof of the
existence of the traffic. This would
enable the immigration officials not
only to deport those who have been
brought unlawfully into the country.
but also to punish those who are re-
sponsible for this sort of immigration

FLEE FROM THEIR HOMES
Residents of Pittsbure Suburb Fear
Impending Landslide.

Pittsburg, Aug. 30.-With their
houses creaking, windows breaking
and chimneys sinking deep into the
earth several hundred foreigners have
fled from their homes in Port Nue, a
Southside suburb, fearing death in a
landslide which threatens to bury
Scott streets twnty-five dwellings.
One hundred yards below the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Railroad company
recently started to make a cut for ad-
ditional tracks. The earth between
this cut and the hillside on which the
houses stand is underlaid with soft
shale and soapstone. The whole mass
is slowly slipping toward the cut.
During the past twenty-four hours the
street for 100 yards with it's houses
dropped 300 feet below its original
level, bursting gas and water mains
and leaving half the village without
light or fire protection. Three hun
dred men are vainly endeavoring
to check the landslide, while crowds
of hysterical women and children
watch the widening assures.

RESTRAINS NEW RATE.
Federal Judge Issues an Injunction
Against Railways.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Judge Kohlsaat,
in the United States circuit court, is
sued a temporary injunction against
fourteen Western railroads and five
express companies restraining them
from establishing on Sept. / new
rate on shipments of cream, milk and
butter.
The complainants were fourteen
creamery companies of the Middle
West, who charged that the railway
and express companies had combined
to fix an excessive rate that would
drive the creameries out of business.
A protest against the proposed action
of the railroad and express companies
has been filed with the interstate
commerce commission, but, according
to the creamery companies, it could
not be considered by the commission
within year
Judge Kohlsaat set Oct as the
date for the hearing on the applica-
ton for permanent injunction.

ASK DAMAGES FOR WOUNDS
Strike S Will Sue Steel Trust and St.
Louis County.

Hibbing, Mimi, Aug. 30.-Suits for
damages aggregating 100000 will be
instituted against the steel trust and
ST. Lcuis county by striking miners
who have been shot or imprisoned by
special deputy sheriffs.
Armed guards still patrol all trust
property and despite reports to the
contrary the strikers say they are
making gains. Two men were shot
this week by deputy sheriffs.
Within week twenty strikers have
been arrested charged with rioting,
but the charges could not be sustained
In the local municipal court.
About 1000 men have been brought
here by the steel trust to operate the
mines. To balance this the Western
Federation has sent $50 union miners
to other fields. The open pit mines
are operating with greatly reduced
forces, as are the stripping contract
ors The underground mines, save
those of the independent companies,
are virtually idle.
Ten thousand strikers are still be-
ing cared for through the unions re-

sent out last week and already more

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION
Governor Johnson Pays Tribute to the
Toiiers.

st. Paul, Aug. Ex-Governor John
son has issued a proclamation that
next Monday will be Labor day, a state
holiday. He also says:
Monday, Sept. 2, is Labor day, one
of the holidays set apart by national
and state law for general observance.
No holiday is more typically American
and none is more calculated to bring
our people to a serious realization of
the rights and duties and privileges
of the American citizen. Upon the
man in the shop, in the factory and
on the farm depends for veal or for
woe the entire structure of our civili-
zatioS and it is in the degree that that
man secures his rights and as he per-
forms the duties which fall to his lot
that progress is made along the lines
that inure to our country's greatness
and it's material and moral welfare.
Realizing that the nation possesses
no better nor worthier citizen than
the man who earns his daily bread by
the sweat of his brow it is eminently
fitting that on this occasion we should
lay aside our accustomed employ
ments to join in fitting and proper
celebration"

immigration Commissioner Comes to
Relief of Chinese.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-An order has
been issued by immigration Commits
sioner Sargent designed to end spe-
cies of graft to which Chinese in this
country long have been subjected.
Whenever a Chinaman wishes to re-
turn to his native land expecting to
return to America he is required to
obtain a certificate which enables him
to land here without difficulty. 1t was
discovered that resident Chinese in
this country had an idea they were re-
qulred to have their return certificates
made out by lawyer and that they
were usually charged IS to $50. The
order directs all immigrant officials
to inform the Chinese that the immi-
grafton officers will make out return
certificates without cost, that always
having been part Of their duties.

from natives and foreigners to sup
press a gang of night raiders, the
members of which prod lances through
cracks in the floors of the houses and

In a number of instances the tick

OBSTACLE TO UNIFORMITY.
Found That Probate Courts Have DIFF
fereDt Filing Cases.

Brattleboro, Dec. 15.-The ommis-
sion appointed by Gov. Fletcher d.
Proctor to prepare n uniform system
of blank forms and record books for
probate officers and county clerks. of
which Judge A. F. Schwenk Of this
town Is n member, may not be able ia
accomplish the whole purpose for
which It was created so far as shane
and size of papers and books are con-
| cerned.
A system of forms has been prepared,
but there is an obstacle IN the way of
devising a type OF record book which
can be used in all counties. The pro-
bate courtrooms and county clerks Of
Aces are equipped with steel hling
cabinets and safes and vaults, and by
writing to the officials in the various
counties the commission has learned
these different repositories require diff
ierent shaped record books.
one way to overcome the difficulty
would be to have the various probate
and county clerks Offices equipped
with uniform repositories. but that
would require n large expenditure of
money, and the counties might not feel
that the advantage to be gained by
having the record books uniform.
which would permit Of the use Of n
loose-leaf system, would warrant such
an expenditure. 1t might also be over
come by using uniform forms and hav-
ing books made on special order, the
makeup of the books being uniform.
