Arrests by the dozen have been made
by United States District Attorney
Breckons on charges of violation OF
the immigration laws, which forbid the
bringing of women to this country foI
unlawful pap ses and make it a
criminal offence to harbor them Fur
ther than this United states Immigra-
ton Inspector Brown is accumulating
evidence which will enable him to de-
port over a dozen women
Perhaps more startling yet is the
disclosure, which has come through
the breaking up of the ring, that the
days of the old Ten Dollar Club have
bee nrevived and that Twelve Dol
lar Club existed during the stay of
the fleet, the women contributing this
amount each for immunity from ar
rest. Who got this money has not
yet been disclosed, but the name of the
man who collected it is known and
further Investigations are likely to
bring disclosures which will cause
considerable trouble for some mem
bers of the police department in rath-
er high positions,
Up to this time the following ar
rests on the charge of harboring wo-
men unlawfully brought here have been
made under the direction of District
Attorney Breckons: Kajawara, Nalla-
mura. Susuki, Hini Susuki, Isoi, Chise
IsOi, Miya, Kuwano, (k), Kuwano (w).
Against Isoi and Chise there are six
charges apiece, on which they have al
ready been indicted. The two Ku-
wanos, who are man and wife, have
been indicted three times each Both
couples will probably have other
charges preferred against them and
the others in the list are under from
one to three charges apiece.

MUST CHANGE WORDING ON
LABELS.
Manufacturers Ordered to Furnish
Their Own Guarantee Instead OF
Product.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Unscrupu-
lous and otherwise misleading
phrases in guarantee labels used by
manufacturers are barred under a
decision promulgated to-day by the
pure food and drug board with the
approval of Secretaries Cortelyou,
Wilson and Straus. The decision
conforms to the recent refusal of
Commissioner of Patents Moore to
register trademark which include
the phrase Guaranteed under the
food and drugs act, June 80. 1906"
on the ground that it was mislead-
ing.
Effective January 1st next. new
guarantee labels must be changed SO
as to show plainly that the guaran-
tee is that of the manufacturer and
not of the government. but because
of the large sums of money invested
in good faith in labels and plates,
the old forms of labels now in use
representing guarantees already filed
with the department will be recog-
nized for a term of two years.

TAFT TO VISIT PANAMA.
ContempIates a Visit to the Canal
Zone Before His Inauguration.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 12.-Wm.
H. Taft, president-elect, contem-
plates visit to Panama before his
inauguration. This visit is APPROX
ed by President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Root. While it has not been
finally determined upon, Mr.. Taft
announced tonight that it was his
inclination to go. Should this be his
final decision he will leave the port
Of Charleston, S. c., probably the
last week in January for a trip
which will occupy approximately
twenty days. There are many rea-
sons, in Mr.. Taft's view, why his trip
advantage to the advancement of
the canal project and consequently
to the United States. President
| |iRoosevelt's visit proved a decided
stimulus to the work; the three Wis
it's which Mr.. Taft has made as Sec
retary of War all were of advantage;
there are constantly arising and ac-
cumulating many minor tangles of
administration and conflict of au-
thority which the presence of the
President or the President-elect
might make possible of eliminating
with little difficulty
The journey, if made, would un-
doubtedly be on one of the navy's
best ships, and Mrs. Taft, who made
the first visit to Panama with Mr..
Taft, four years ago, would, without
doubt, accompany him this time.
The only objection to the expedi-
ton, which has been pointed out by
careful students of the laws and the
constitution is that pending the Of
fetal declaration of Mr.. Taft as
President, there is no constitutional
or legal provision for the substitu-
ton of any one else in the event of
anything happening to him in Pana-
ma. This objection is not regarded
as of sufficient weight to detain Mr..
Taft from a journey which is regard
ed as essential to the success of one
of the biggest enterprise of his ad-
ministration.

FOR LEvEE ON THE CAPE FEAR.
Bill introduced i'm Congress for Ap-
preparation for Construction at
kelly's Cove.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 14.-Rep-
resentatives Goodwin and Thomas
have introduced a bill in the House
of Representatives, appropriating one
hundred thousand dollars, or SO
much thereof as may be necessary to
construct a levee or levees at Kelly's
Cove on the Cape Fear River, in
Bladen County, n. c.
The bill provides for the levees
to be constructed under the direc-
ton of the War Department.
1t will be remembered that during
the floods of August and September
1908, the water in the Cape Fear
River rose to the highest point
known and considerable portion OF
the country lying between the Cape
Fear and the Black River flooded by
an escape of water from the Cape
Fear River at low point near Kel-
ly's Cove. The water passing from
there across the country to Black
River completely flooded French e
Creek township in Bladen County
and Cantuck township in Pender
County.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER II. 1908.

In the Presidents message with ref
erenee 90 the Secret Service.
The last session Of Congress cut
down the appropriation for the Ss-
cret Service. aad inserted a clause
limiting the use OF the appTopria-
ton by the Secret Service TO the
employment by the Treasury De
partment only. This practically con-
fines the use Of the Secret Service 10
detecting and running down coma
terfeiters of money. Formerly the
Secret Service had been used for
detecting fraud In every department
OF the Government.
II was the Secret Service men who
detected the enormous land frauds
in the West, which has led 10 the
conviction OF a number OF very veal
thy men who had defrauded the
Government out of large tracts OF
land and great deposits of minerals.
and, besides, Ii will be remembered
that one Senator and one or more
Congressman were indicted and con-
victed.
The President referred to this in
his message, and showed the impor-
tance of continuing similar inyesti-
cations. and asked that the appro-
priation be increased and that the
Limitation placed upon the use of
the Secret Service by the last Con-
gress be removed.
The President also cited some of
the arguments used by members of
Congress last session for their ac-
ton, and this is what has aroused
the ire of that body.
Committees have been appointed in
both Houses to draw a protest or re-
buke to the President for the lam
guage used. 1t is reported that if
such action is taken by Congress,
that the President will reply in vigor-
Gus terms.

Carrie Nation Creates Much Disturb.

London, Dec 12.-"All nations are
welcome here except Carrie" is the
legend with which the public houses
of Dundee, Scotland, are now deco
rated. By way of enforcing the an
nouncement, two of the public-hOuse
keepers to-day threw the reformer
from their premises without cere-
mony or tenderness. Carrie was not
dismayed by this treatment, but
made tracks for the next bar. En-
route she met a clergyman, smoking
cigarette.
'Take that vile thing from your
mouth she exclaimed, but the Of
fender bestowed a smile On her and
walked on.
Carrie has been shocked to find
tea drinking so common in Scotland,
where, indeed, an amazing quantity
of the beverage is consumed at all
hours of the day. She classes tea
drinking with the morphine habit,
and has added it to her crusade
repertoire.
The police have not acted on the
request of the public housekeeper
who wants her prosecuted for invad-
ing his place.

Time of Emergency.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 12.-The
initial movement to carry out a rec
ommendation of the President was
taken to-day when Representative
Hull, Chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs, introduced a bill
suggested by the President and pre-
pared under the direction of Mr.. Taft
to provide for volunteer army in
time of emergency.
The bill would revise the present
law to provide for the raising of a
volunteer army which has been de-
scribed by the President as having
been placed on the statue books by
piece-meaf and hurriedly.
It is claimed for the bill that it is
elastic and under its provisions a
force of 100000 men could be
raised as well as one of $4,000.

named as constituting an illegal com
bination in the final decree filed to-
day in the United States Circuit
Court, putting into effect the judg-
ment recently obtained by the Gov
ernment in it's suit to dissolve the So
called Tobacco Trust The companies
named are:

Mac Andrews & Forbes Company
P. Lorillard Tobacco Company.
r. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Com
pany.

Each of the first five of these com
panies, the Court declares, is in itself
a combination in violation of the law
The order enjoins these companies
from continuing as parties in the
combination and restraints them from
engaging in interstate or foreign
trade until reasonable competition
between them is restored.
The Government and the defendant
companies will at once take appeals
from the decree. Such action on the
companies part will make effective
one highly important clause-that
which provides for a suspension OF
the injunction during the pendency
