Mr.. Adams referred questioners to

The supreme court has been asked
to set aside the recent decree of GUS

allow it to continue business in Mis-

AIMS AT GREED PROPS
Illinois Takes Lead in Providing Pro.
lection for Girls

Chicago, March 5.-Knockout blows
soon will be dealt the white slave
traffic in Illinois and several other
states in the enactment of laws aimed
directly at the factors which, more
than any others, make the traffic pos
sible and profitable. The Lederer
bills in Illinois will pass and the
Saunder bill in Iowa is framed on the
lines recommended, with the approval
Of his associates, by Assistant United
States District Attorney Parkin who
recently warned the public that the
states must protect girls Of our own
homes because Uncle Sam could pro-
tect only the aliens captured by
white slavers."
The line Of attack outlined by AS
sistant United States District Attor-
ney Parkin in recent article for the
Woman's World has been adopted in
Illinois. as the course most likely in
any state legislation to secure practi-
cal results, will serve to destroy the
greed incentive of the white slavers.
Two bills have been introduced and
another is being perfected which are
the first bills aimed directly at the
factors Of the traffic shown by hum
dreds of cases investigated by the fed
eral and state prosecutors and the
Illinois Vigilance association, to be
the props of the trade.
One Of the so-called Woman's World
bills provides a penitentiary punish
ment under the pretense of debt and
the second provides a penalty of one
to ten years in the penitentiary for
living upon the earnings Of white
slaves, as Assistant United States
District Attorney Parkin says some
5000 men in Chicago do. Heretofore
statutes have not been explicit enough
to make the laws easily enforcible and
the punishments provided have been
light Jail sentences, which the cul-
prits have laughed at. Great pains
has been taken to make these bills
constitutional at every point, some
changes having been made in the orig
inal drafts to this end. A third bill,
to prohibit the bringing of girls into
the state for immoral purposes is be-
ing perfected.
every lawyer realizes from cases
he has encountered in his practice
that the props of the white slave traf-
fic are the subsection of girls by pro-
prietors Of houses which create or
profess to hold Indebtedness against
girls, and their subsection to the will
Of the men who live of their earn
ings," said Representative Lederer
who was sponsor for the Illinois bills.
II have met such cases. When we
open the door to these poor girls to
regain their clothes and their freedom
thousands will reform. We propose
nothing Utopian. l should oppose too
sudden a reform of conditions for
every woman would be in greater
jeopardy of assault in every city.
"The legislation that is proposed
may we'll serve as guide to legisla-
ton in other states that will be
practical in suppressing the debauch-
ing OF our girls"

Oriental Silks.

Oriental silks have way of coming
In on the market and meeting with
popular favor because of their genuine
oddity among fabrics. They are al
ways sought by persons who look for
the exclusive patterns and this is
possible among oriental silks where
two patterns may be alike, but of diff
ferent colors The trimmings for such
are plain silks, soutache and crochet
buttons One of the dashing dresses
constructed of this material was a
brick red, with clouded effect. 1t was
trimmed with black-red grosgrain
silk and an edging of black soutache
in sawtooth fashion for bands. The
dress was a very good example of
what can be produced with foreign
