FIRST KNOCKOUT BLOW
AT WHITE SLAVE TRADE

Chicago. March 2.-'Koncl1out 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 possible and profitable. The
Lederer bills in Illinois will pass and
the Saunder bill i'm Iowa Is framed
on the lines recommended, with the
ay1proval of his associates, by Assist
ant United States District Attorney
Parluin who recently warned the pub
Alc THAT the states must protect girls
OF our own homes because Uncle
Sam could protect only the aliens
captured by "white slavers."
The line OF attack outlined by AS
sistant United States District Attor-
ney ParlNn in a recent article for the
Wcman's World has been adopted in
Irmois, as the course most likely in
any state Legislation to secure prac-
tical results, will serve to destroy
the greed incentive of the white
slavers. Two bills have been intro
duced and another is being perfected
which are the first bills aimed di.
rectly at the factors OF the traffic
shown by hundreds OF cases inVesti-
gated by the federal and state pres
ecutors and the Illinois Vigilance
Association, to be the props of the
trade.
One of the so-called "Woman'S
World bills provides a penitentiary
punishment for the detention of girls
in dlsordeTly houses under the pre-
tense of debt and tho second pro.
vides a penalty of one to ten years
in the penitentiary for living upor

BOND ISSUE FAILED

The proposition TO issue bonds for
the construction OF four additional
rooms at the Davids street building
and payiug for the fire escapes, which
were constructed on all OF the build
ings and the changes which were
made in some last summer at an ex-
pense of $4,000, failed 10 carry in
Mondays special election.
There can be but one explanation
for Il. The people did not thorough
ly understand the proposition, and
were Just little gun shy about vot-
ing in favor of a bond issue, which
they do not entirely comprehend One
feature in connection with the bond
Issue was not given 20 the public
nnrdl the last week day before the
election. 1t was the general impress
sion that the school board was asking
for $4,000 with which to build four
rooms at the Davids street building
and everyone Thought that was an
exhorbnant sum. 1t was not known
thai almost one half Of that amount
was for the payment OF bills which
were forced upon the ooard by the
building inspector last summer. II
is true that these improvements were
paid FOR, hut the money was borrowed
al the banks, and 1t was to dis
charge this obligation that the schoo
board added thjs sum to the amount
necessary to build The addition al
DaVids street. Had this proposition
been thoroughly understood from thf
outset, there is little doubt but thai
the voters would have given theil
sanction.

PUMP STATION WRECKED
Serious Gas Explosion Does Much
Damage Near Neodesha

Neodesha, Kan. Jan. .11.-Early
Sunday an explosion occurred at the
gas pumping station of the Kansas
Natural Gas company, six miles east
of Neodesha, which put the pumps out
of commission. burned the station and
seriously burned Wallace Day the
foreman. Mr.. Day and Joe KeIlerman
were, in the room when the explosion
occurred, both being blown out. Mr..
Kellerman was not seriously injured.
The explosion is thought to have
been caused by gas escaping from the
pumps on account of the melting of
some babbiting. The gas filed the
room and was ignited from the en-
gines. This station consisted of two
25O-horse power engines and pumps to
correspond. They received the gas at
about 20 pounds pressure and dis
charged it at double that pressure on
the 16-inch main line supplying all
northern points. BY the destruction of
this station the gas supply of Parsons
was temporarily shut off, but by pass
pipe was put in giving them the nat
ural pressure of the wells and that
city is not now suffering. The station
pumps and engines are a mass of
ruins.

MURDOCH CONVERTED.
Returns From Panama Enthusiastic
for the Lock Canal.

New York, Jan. 11.-Four out of
five Republican representatives who
went down to Panama on an unoffi-
cial junket started as advocates of a
sea level canal They returned ar
dent supporters of the lock plan. The
party was aboard the Panama liner
Advance and was composed of Repre-
sentatives Victor Murdoch of Kansas
AISLE ]. Gronna of North Dakota
Charles A. Linbergh of Minnesota and
Charles Kennedy of Iowa.
Representative Murdoch acted as
spokesman of the party. He had been
scheme, but he made no bones about
hedging. He said that what he had
seen in the short stay had convinced
MIN that he was wrong. He praised
the way they do things on the 18TH
mus and said that the esprit de CORDS
was such that every man worked as
if he We're building the canal by him
self. He said that the men at the
steam shovels and the cuts and fills
displayed more energy than the aver
the money held out, and Mr.. Murdoch
thought that it would, the canal, ac-
cord1ng to the latest assurances, ought
to be completed and ships passing
through it in 1915. Health conditions
there are better than in Kansas City
or st. Louis. Mr.. Murdoch said that
the. injury by a toe of the Gatun dam
sinking was very slight and accounts
of it had been much. exaggerated.
The repreSe ntatiVes were most i'm
pressed by the rapidity with which the
work was being carried on, and men,
toned the energy displayed at Guile
bra cut as a striking example of it.
Mr.. Murdoch said that the party had
gone down on its own initiative and
with no object in view except to. have
look with their own eyes at the
work. They left Washington Deem
Der 81 and had enjoyed the trip.
Much interest is, taken in Panama
at the prospect of another visit from
Mr.. Taft, and he will get a genuine re-
ception there.
