TRADE IN WHITE SLAVES.
Treaty With Foreign Powers Shortly
to Be Proclaimed.

Within a short time the treaty of 1902,
to which the United States and nearly
every European power were signatories,
aimed against the white slave" trade,
will be proclaimed by President Roose-
Welt Owing to TIE fact that the United
States government had no federal po-
lice it has been found difficult to pro-
vide the cooperation provided for by the
convention in keeping down the procure
ment from abroad or in this country OF
women and young girls fer immoral pur-
poses. Secretary Root, however, is now
engaged In working out the details where
by he hopes that. with. the cooperation
of the police Of the cities. particularly
on the Atlantic coast. In conjunction with
the immigration officials much can be
done toward restricting the importation
and expectation of the class of women
whom the treaty was designed to reach.
AS soon as the proclama ton Of me Pres
ident is issued. which probably will be
within the coming week the Department
Of Commerce and I.abor will proceed to
make active warfare against the Of

VALDEzAN PLANS 3,7O0 MILE TRIP

From Valdez to Seattle overland by dog sledge, an approximate distance of 3,700 miles, is the job mapped out for himself by Billy Cooper, an in- trepid musher of the Northland. The start from here, according to present plans, will be made December 10, and Cooper figures he can cover the dis tance within threc months.
 The route of travel will be: Valdez to Fairbanks over the government trail; from thence 10 Dawson, touch ing at Circle and Eagle; from the klondike metropolis to the mouth of the Hootalinka, and from thence fol- lowing along the Canadian telegraph line along Lake Teslin on Telegraph creek, stopping at HaZleton, Buike- ley, Fort Frazer, Blackwater, Cues ncllc, Alexandria and Soda creek, on the Frazer river, and from thence crossing over to Ashcroft, B. C., where the first railroad will be reached. From Ashcroft to Seattle the trip will be made over county roads.
 Cooper figures Chat he will have to break trail for 600 miles with snow shoes.
 Cooper will have q specially con structed vehicle for his journey. It will be known as "bob slcd." Wheels will be taken along so that when bare ground is encountered they may be substituted for the sled runners. Tho Alaska Construction Company is making the basket DOT. ton of the sled, while Cooper him self is making the runners and wheels.
 Cooper will travel light and take six dogs to draw the sled. One of the dogs is a Mckenzie river huskic, another Siberian wolf, the others being huskies and malamutes.
 Cooper, better known in the Yukon country as "Caribou Bill" is one of the characters of the northern coun- try. In 1896 he went to Circle City, was among the first stampcdcrs to the Klondike, made money there and then joined the Nome rush in 1900, where he dropped his bank roll, or goodly portion thereof. He was on the scene when Fairbanks was boom ing, and eventually came to Valdez, He is a man of tremendous energy and possesses the nerve to carry to successful conclusion, if human en- dcavor can avail, the long and ardu- ous trip he has outlined for himself. While in Dawson and Nomc Cooper was considered the weltcr weight champion. He met and defeated Phil Smith, Ed Kelley and many oth- ur well known fighters.

SAkI MARU LAPS
 ARE FOUND GUILTY

TwcntY-sCVen Japanese, members of the crew of the Saki Maru, were last night found guilty of unlawfully killing fur seals. The jury was out about twenty minutes. The crew of the other schooner will be placed on trial tomorrow morning.
 The case against the Japanese placed on trial yesterday admitted of little contradiction on the part of the defense. Assistant District Attorney Ray, in his opening statement, said that he would prove that the schooner was captured within the three-mile limit and that after her capture she was approached by six of her boats, in some of which were seals, just killed. One of the small boats con- taining fresh seal skins and one un- skinned seal was captured by the Bear before the schooner was taken. One of the boats belonging to the Saki did not return to the schooner, and has never been heard from.
 Mir. Rays opening statement was substantiated by the testimony of Capt. Bcrtholf and other officers of the Bear.
 In defense, Attorney E. E. Ritchie had to offer only the testimony of the captain of the schooner, which is to the effect that he believed himself twelve miles at sea. The day was foggy, and the last reckoning had been taken the night previous to capture. The captain maintained that if he was within the three nile limit, his vessel had drifted there.
 Mir. Ritchie and Mir. Ray became involved in slight argument, as the result of the formers cross examina. uIOh oI CapJ' BGrJhOlf, MT. Rltcn1e endeavoring to make the witness make n decided identification of the defendants, or to admit his inability to do so. Judge Reid intervened and rebuked the attorney for the defense, asserting that the proceedings savored ofGsharp practice. MT. Ritchie de- clared that he stood upon his rights to have the defendants identified as the same persons, apprehended for the alleged crime, Capt. Bertholf identified the captain of the Saki, and the trial proceeded.
