the following statement from Mr.. Hotch-

recent date plainly shows:-
"From nearly every state in the Union
the secretaries OF the automobile clubs re-
port unusual activity in the line of motor
legislation. While there are not so many
fool bills up for consideration, the legis-
lative committees find their hands full in
handling the situation and keeping a few
belligerent gentlemen who still hate auto
mobiles from presenting senseless bills to
the various legislative bodies.
president Oliver A. Quayle OF the
New York State Automobile Association
has sent out notices to all the state clubs
connected with the association requesting
them to appoint their legislative delegates
and to have them meet him in Albany
in few days to take up the legislation
which is now before the New York Legis-
lature.

Editor The Press: l beg space
in your paper to reply to an at
tack on the citizens of Kenwood
by the Chronicle of Tuesday, No
vember 2. The Chronicle will not
permit citizens to defend them
selves through the columns of the
paper.
The citizens of Kenwood do not
imagine a grievance against Mayor
Pratt. 1t is a fact, based on fact,
not fiction. The report In said
paper that our allies are made up
of disgruntled saloonmen, gam
blers and ward heelers is a delib-
crate falsehood.
Our reasons for wishing the may
or recalled are based on fact. First.
The pledged himself to nonparti-
san administration, and instead he
has the city hall padded with polit-
ical Pratt supporters, of which pol
icies the Cowles newspapers are
| the backbone. Second, he pledged
himself to aid In the water exten
ton to the best welfare OF the
taxpayers, and instead he has been
the obstructionist in the water ex
tension. He favors the bringing o.
Priest lake water to this city II

water combine and few million
aires, who run things to suit them
selves at the city hall.
Right here let me say there is
no foe so hard to battle with as the
pretender. Why does the mayor
shield and support City Engineer
Ralston, who has proven his unre-
liability as an engineer at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers at over one
hundred thousand dollars? This
man the mayor has seen fit to put
at the head of our water extern
sions. Why does the mayor sane
ton the board of works, with whom
he meets daily to disregard the
city charter by going behind closed
doors to plot and plan for graft?
We insist on reform and want
the mayor to begin In his office
and that of the board of works.
Broad-minded, self-thinking men
do not rely on the hypocricy of the
wolf in sleeps clothing playing
the role of the savior at the city
hall; they look up merits. 1t is
taht class of people, too narrow
minded to look beyond the borders
of a newspaper, who are deceived
by his sham.

from abroad is admitted. The de-
partment has some agents in Eu-
rope cooperating with authorities
there to prevent the buying and
selling OF girls for immoral pur-
poses, but the expense is so great
that not a large force can be
maintained.
immigration officials have an op-
portunity to stop the entrance OF
undesirable immigrants at Ellis
Island and other receiving sta
tons, or if within three years aft.
er she is admitted it is discovered
that a woman was immoral when
admitted she can be deported. The
report will say that the immigra
ton officials are so strict in thell
investigation of women who ar
rive alone that they have often
been criticised severely and &C
cused of prosecuting girls, but the
department maintains that in no
other way can it prevent a whole
sale traffic in white slaves.
An instance of recent date Is
cited. 1t was charged that the
niece of a rich uncle was detained
unlawfully and unnecessarily by
the Ellis Island officials. 1t struck
the secretary as queer that If the
girl was respectable and the niece
of a rich man. he should leave her
at the island without aid. The
references of women are scrutin'
lied and investigated, and usually
relatives or friends are required to
60 to the immigration station and
identify them. The rich uncle in
this case proved to be myth and
the girl was returned to Europe.
The report will not make any
radical recommendations. 1t will
be rather an explanation OF what
the government is trying to do.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 5.-Sec'
rotary Nagel of the department OF
commerce and labor, who arrived
here with the president, will deal
in a report to be made in Deem
Der with the investigation of the
white slave traffic. He will say
that a large part of the traffic is
alleged to be within the United
States, and with that his depart
ment has nothing to do. 1t is a
problem for the police and state
authorities.
OF the girls brought from
abroad, the proportion of innocent
girls brought to this country
against their will has been found
to be considerably smaller than is
computed by the Purity league
and other reformers, but the ex-
istence of q traffic of that sort
