FURNITURE VAN
FALLS 200 FEET

New York, June 1G.-Ah heavily loaded
furniture van, three horses drawing it
and the driver, James Ladine, tumbled
200 feet down the Palisades, near the
village of Alpine, opposite Yonkers.
The police in Yonkers, nearly two miles
across the Hudson, saw tremendous
clouds Of dust shoot skyward and
Thought a giant explosion had occurred.
The point from which the truck
horses and man fell to the beach below
seems almost like a precipice rom the
river. The wall of the giant hill, how
ever. is broken by steep slopes and
Quitting rocks and mounds. 1t was
where the heavy vehicle and plunging
horses hit these places in the down
ward flight that the force of the success
sion of falls was partially broken and
the great clouds of dirt thrown into the
air.
Though the van and it's load of fur
niture were smashed to flinders the
driver escaped death and the horses
We're seemingly unhurt. Ladine was
hurled backward when the truck hit
the bottom from the drivers seat into
"A mass of bedding. This saved his life,
though he suffered two big cuts on the
head, three of his ribs We're crushed,
and it is feared he sustained internal
injuries.
How the horses escaped nobody who
saw the appalling accident could ex-
plain. In the descent there We're places
where horses and van made a sheer
drop of 20 feet.

Government Is Determined to
Break Up Vicious Trade
in Girls.

Washington, June Sin an effort
to get to tho bottom OF the traffic
In vice between Europe n this coun-
try, the government has decided, for
the first time, to send g woman to
Europe to investigate the trade in girls
poses.
Government officials. while admitting
that this arrangement has been made,
decline positively to give the name OF
the woman who is to make this I'M
precedented investigation. 1t is ex-
planned that such an announcement in
advance would make 1t practically Inn
possible for her to succeed in the task
she is undertaking.
Under Protection.
That there Is n regular organized
and profitable traffic in girls between
continental countries and American
cities. has long been well known. In
there is reason to believe that the
business Is carried on under the pro-
lection Of officialism. The United States
government has long made especial
efforts to keep out women brought in
for immoral purposes, but it has been
increasingly difficult to do this with
out Imposing unnecessarily hard condi-
lions on all women who are presented
at American ports.
A number of Investigations Of this
traffic have been made by men, but
the results nave not been entirely sat
isfactory. Consequently the determine
ton to send a Her business
will be to get into the confidence, IL
possible, Of the people who are con-
Quoting h traffic n to learn as
many Of its secrets as may be.
Largely Dupes.
1t is known to the government that
there is some sort of central intel
ligence in this country which directs
this traffic, and which is closely In
touch with the European countries.
Young women are induced in all kinds
of ways to submit themselves to the
approaches OF the agencies Of the
wholesale vice establishments. Some
are peasant girls, coming in the ex-
p%ectation of employment at high sal
aries; others are already adopts in
the of the half world. But most
of them are dupes in one degree or
another Of the agents of the vice sys-
tenn; and all are regarded as I'M

is determined to exclude If possible,

she made bold to ask for an increase in
her weekly allowance of So to supply the
table. Eckhard got mad and left the
house. Mrs. Eckhard has not seen him
since. She was left without means to
care for her 6-year-old son and herself.
OF all her husbands methods to choke
the family pocketbook, she says the limit
was reached when he made their son take
long steps tc save his shoes. Short-Step-
ping was an extravaganza, he said, be-
cause the boy could cover just as much
ground and save leather by increasing his
stride. Mrs. 1Gckard says her husband
kept a set OF scales under lock and key.
He would weigh all the groceries,, and II
the supply diminished more rapidly than
he thought it should, he wanted to know
why.
1t was impossible for Mrs. Eckhard to
make a fat apple pie or a thick custard.
Eckhard. she says. counted the apples
and eggs and even the onions when they
were only 81 a bushel. Mrs. Eckhard
sought to demur when Eckhard tabled
the sticks in a package of macaroni, but
ut didn't do any good.
