PARASITE
CHIEF NAILED
ARREST OF vAUCAMP Elk.
PECTED TO BREAK POWER
OF WHITE SLAVE DEALERS
IN NORTHWEST TERRITORY.

There will probably be a general
exodus of d;sreputable Frenchmen
on the next steamers leaving this
country. On account of the sue
cess of government agents in Sc
curing penal sentences in the
cases OF Pete and Adolf Gouyet,
who for several years kept young
girls enSlaved in Spokane, has
caused others Of their ilk to see
the futility of further living of the
earnings of these girls whom they
keep in bondage through fear OF
their lives.
An important arrest which i'm
mediately follows the conviction of
the 'Gouyets was made in Wallace,
Idaho, yesterday when Deputy u.
s. Marshal Green took Emil Vau-
camp, notorious white slave
driver who three years ago came
to Spokane from New York. He
is under arrest on charge of inn
porting and enslaving French
girls.
When the notorious Main and
Yale blocks In this city were closed
by Mayor Moore's administration
the Gouyets and Vaucamp left, the
former went to France and the
latter started saloon and dis.
reputable house in Wallace.
Only few days ago government
agents took two young girls out of
Vaucamp's house in Wallace. In
formation secured from them led
to Vaucamp s arrest.
Several F'renchmen who have
been living privately in Spokane
have within the last few days pack
ed up and started for France In
fear that since the powerful organi.
zation has been shattered through
the convictions of the Gouyets, the
French girls who were bound to
silence will tell all they know and
implicate the Frenchmen generally.
Every city in the northwest was
infested with these human para
sites. They were banded together
in a powerful organization. When
1t was limited that a girl had given
police information the girl prompt
ly disappeared and the story that
she had gone back to France was
given out. The suspicion was she
was murdered, though of this the
police could never secure proof.
When a girl would run away
from her master, members of the
organization and their spies were
notified by telegraph and the girl
invariably vas captured by her
owners" Spokane was encom-
passed by q lot of their spies. They

ated by the new constitutional
amendment. One of the judges de-
sired by Evans and the Denver
utility corporations was Luther M.
Goddard. But he was not quite sat
isfactory to the two railroad cor.
porations, and there has a hitch.
"As last resort, says the Off
cial record, 1.-The agent and repre-
sentative of the said Colorado G
Southern Railway Co. was induced
to, and did, after midnight, on Sun
day, the 9Th day of January, and at
about 1 o'clock in the morning of
Monday, the 9th day of January, re-
pair to the home of the said Luther
M. Goddard, in carriage, calling
him out of bed, having then and
there such conversation with the
said Goddard that the said railway
corporations, through their agents,
withdrew their opposition to his
confirmation. and they did on the
said morning, at about o'clock
thereof, announce to the remainder
of said corporations, through their
agents and representatives, that
their opposition had been with.
drawn, and the withdrawal of said
opposition having been announced,
the said senate of the fifteenth gen.
eral assembly did, almost immedi-
ately upon its converting on the
morning of Monday, the 9th of jan
uary, confirm the said nomination
of the said Goddard
A reason for Judge Goddard's
popularity with William G.. Evans
and the Denver utility corporations
may be inferred from other matters
of court record.
In 1898, Judge Luther M. God
dard, then quite new member of
the supreme court, had occasion to
pass upon the franchise rights of
the Denver City Railroad Gram
way) Co., of which Evans is presi-
dent and manager. Strange to re-
late, Judge Goddard at that time
rendered two decisions on the sub
ject-each decision Numerically
opposed to the other. First he held
that the franchise was not perpet
ual, as claimed by Evans, and was
not even a valid license for electric
cars. On Oct. 80, 1898, the judge
said:
"The sole question submitted for
determination is whether the mu-
nicipal authorities of the city of
Denver were authorized to grant,
in perpetuity, the privilege of con-
structing lines of street railway to
be operated by electricity, at the
time of the enactment of the ordi-
nance. Article 2, section 2, of the
state constitution provides That no

night, teaches. will take more ex-
PLANTATION than appears In the
show. Not solitary moral sentf-
ment is expressed, all the usual
moral excuse is offered for 1t.
1t is all immoral insinuation on
the Three Weeks" order. But the
play from a standpoint of the pro-
fession is good vehicle for act
ing. Charles E. Gum as "the
devil in the guise of a doctor,
renders the character in a manner
acceptable, and the Kisses heard
were really applause at his excel
lent work. On the other hand the
part of the artist Karl Mailer is
left in entirely incompetent
hands. Frank McQuarrie is con-
sidered good in anything but a
straight part. His work last night
was poor. Miss Jessie Shirley
never appeared to more advantage
than as Mrs. Holman, the woman
whom the devil forced into the
company of the artist who was a
former admirer. Miss Ethel Won
Waldron as Mimi. the artists
model, who loves the artist, does
good work. Miss Anna Cleveland,

known as Elsa Berg, handles the
part rather coldly. The others in

Miss May Arnold, a well known
school teacher of this city, married
the big chief of the Pueblos, Alvino

They said the marriage could not
be p happy one, for she must doff
the icomforts of civilization for the
hardships of a half civilized life as
slave lin the Indian pueblo of
New Mexico.

contented wife have just paid a

But that did not end the matter.
The Colorado supreme court is con-
stantly doing something to occa-
sion surprise, and so on Dec. 20 the
people of Denver were startled by
the announcement that Judge God
dard had undergone a change of
heart and was prepared to grant a
rehearing in the traction case. One
was had. The court labored again,
and on June 4. 1894, gave birth to
another decision on the same sub
ject, exactly the reverse of it's for
mer holdings. The original decis-
ion was withdrawn from the files.
From this time Judge Goddard
was commonly known as Evans

that. 1t is well staged and per-

The same journal for April 0 says
OF the Cuban sugar crop:
CUBA CROP ESTIMATE. - Ac-
cording to our cable advices, the to-
tai production of sugar In the entire
Island of Cuba to March 81, 1908,
was 663,0S7 tons, and the total
stock at all ports on that date was
253,292 tons.
The production during the month
of March this year was very disap-
pointing, amounting to only $4,000
tons, against 35S,236 tons same time
in 1907: 302,221 tons in 1906, and
10000 tons in 1906.
Many Centrals are closing rapidly,
having no more cane to grind, only
40 now being at work, against 1872
at this time in 1907, $50 in 1906,
and 100 in 1906.
We learn that the crop of the
Western provinces of the island will
come to an end within a fortnight,
but that cOnuitiOns are more favor
able In the eastern sections where are
located several large centrals, which
are expected to continue at work I'M
til September.
The progress now being made indi-
Gates total production during April
of 100000 tons and conservative
estimate for the month of May and
for the balance of the season. to-
gether, would be $4,000 tons which,
added to the total production to end
of March (663,0S7 tons), would give
q total crop this season of about 92S,-
600 tons. We, therefore. reduce our
estimate to $4,000 tons.

ket conditions in raws and refined

activity at advancing prices sets in.
In the meantime the market will pro-
badly receive the support of refiners

from Mr.. LIGHT that the sowings in

is of special interest to Cuban hold
ers. and not only is important to the

important bearing upon the better

all of whom are native Hawaiians,
They will be accompanied by Eben

ard who was so impressed with it that
he promised that this year the Ha-
waiian cowboys would take an active
part themselves in the contests.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-11

has been informed that four state Or
ganlzatons, namely those OF Kansas,
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri,
have broken away from the Anti-Sa-
loon league because these state or
ganlzatlons have believed that they
were not being treated fairly finan-
clally by the Anti-Saloon league of
America and that other state organi-
cations are expected to follow suit
in the near future.
1t has been charged In the press
that the Antl-Saloon league of Amer
lea goes into a state, forms a state
organization and permits the collect
ing of funds from the churches and
individuals by the local officials, in
consideration Of a commission of 21k
per cent of all money collected.
1t is also alleged that the Anti-Sa-
loon league furnishes speakers in
state campaigns at the rate of $50
per day, the money being paid, not
by the Anti-Saloon league of Amer
lea, but by the state organization In
the state in which the campaign is
being waged.
Further, it is said that the Anti
Saloon league of America insists upon
controlling each state organization
through the appointment of state
superintendents chosen by and kept in
office by the national leaders.
Further, 1t is alleged that the ma
tional leaders insist upon controlling
the state Anti-Saloon league publica-
tions and making these publications
subsidiary to the national organ, a
paper said to be conducted by this
same coterie of leaders and for their
material benefit.
It is also charged that the Anti
Saloon league pays from Is to rs per
cent for the collecting of funds for
the benefit Of the Anti-Saloon league
OF America, and the National Model
License league has been informed that
out Of S1,O00,0OO collected from the
churches last year by the Anti-Sa-
loon league of America, s75O,OOO was
spent in commissions and salaries.
II it is true that of 500 given to
the Anti-Saloon league only S25 is de-
voted to the purposes for which the
money is subscribed this fact, it
seems to us, would be of great inter-
est to those who are contributors.
The National Model License league
has been told repeatedly. and has
reason to believe, that several of the
leaders Of the Anti-Salon league start
ed into the organization as poor men,
and that they are now rated as men
OF great wealth. A showdown on the
part OF the Anti-Saloon league, we
think, would be Of peculiar interest to
the needy pastors who see their con-
gregatlons give hundreds and thou,
sands Of dollars yearly to the Anti
Saloon league.
