SLAVERY
MOST REVOLVING
Report in Regard to Practice Is,
sued Today by Immigra-
tion Commission.
URGE SUPPRESSION OF TRAFFIC
Subject Has Been Thoroughly Investi'
gated and Co operation With Eu-
rope to Stop the Traffic
is Recommended.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Stories of re-
voting practices of American and for
eign procurers OF women for importa-
tion into the United States for immoral
purposes are told in a report issued to-
day by the immigration commission.
The recommendations of the commits
sion contemplate closer scrutiny of
the admission of alien women and re-
newed efforts To stamp out the So
called white slave traffic."
In explanation of the act of laying
bare to the public the horrible details
Of the discoveries by it's agents the
commission says:
"The white slave traffic is the most
pitiful and most revolving phase of the
immigration question" This business
has assumed large proportions and 1t
has been exerting so evil an influence
upon the country that the commission
declares 1t felt compelled to make II a
subject of thorough investigation.
The report deals with the methods
used by men and women procurers to
lure women into this country for i'm
moral purposes. In some countries in
nocent girls are enticed to the United
States by proffers of attractive posi-
tions, and i'm many cases men offer
themselves in marriage and frequently
risk persecution on charges of bigamy
In order to attain their desires. The
report then says while the commission
has been unable to discover the exist
ence OF a monopolistic corporation said
to have been organized to import and
exploit unfortunate women it is be-
lieved persons engaged i'm the business
doubtless have wide acquaintance and
close business relations with each 9TH
er.
p The commission recommends coop
Grafton with European countries wher-
ever possible for the suppression of the
white slave traffic" The commission
suggests more rigid enforcement of ex-
listing regulations by the department
of commerce and labor, particularly by
the bureau of immigration. Amend
ments or the immigration act itself are
submitted by the commission.

once upon a Time there was one of
those Real Cute Boys in Our Town.
He belonged to the All Really club
and trailed with the Don't Cher
Know Gang. He wore Pink Suspen-
ders, Noisy Hose and Monocle He
thought he was the Real Originator
of the Central Bank idea and He was
always Overdrawing his Account.
Cutie Charlie was his Name and He
boasted of a Pedigree that put TO
Shame that of any Arlstocratic Nellie
of Lafayette, Ind. He drank Lemon
ade through a Straw and the Sight of
"a Cork sickened Him. He was al
ways getting i'm the wrong Pew at
Church, Just so He would have to
get out again as the little Blonde
President Of the Christian Endeavor
came in. He always did his Shopping
like the Perfect Lady he was known
to be and he always bought bottle
of Violet Water and new Tooth
Brush which he carried with his Comb
in his Vest pocket. His only Sorrow
was that he was troubled with DAN
druff and Falling Hair. Neither Money
nor the lack of it worried Him. He
took no Stock in Senator Aldrich's s
Financial Campaign. He allowed his
Creditors to do all the Worrying
Cutie Charlie read the Newspapers and
he knew what Early Shopping meant
A Real Man could not look at Charlie
without wanting to Pinch him on the
Wrist. but he was the idol of the
Ladies. When they saw Charlie doing
his Shopping Early the Set renewed
its Attentions. He was invited Every
where and he Went. All the dear ones
wanted to get in on the Ground Floor
of His Affections and Share in the
Christmas Dividends. Even a Haugh
ty Heiress not only stood for Charlie,
but tried to Woo him. She thought he
looked like the picture of Duke and
figured that she could get him Cheap
palm Him off as the Real Article
Abroad, and ne would not cost Papa
Half so Much as a genuine Duke.
Charlie was willing to do Anything
once and He married the Heiress and
rides i'm a Big touring Car. He has
been Happy and Fortunate Ever
Since.
Moral: Don't be a Charlie Boy, but
Shop Early If You would win an
Heiress.

NEW U. OF M. REGENT.
Governor Warner Not Likely to Name
Saginaw Man Hills Successor.

Detroit, Dec. 10-Gov. Fred M. War
ner Will not move hastily i'm the mat
ter of appointing a successor to the
late Arthur Hill. regent of the Univers
ity of Michigan, who died Monday.
The governor was in Detroit recently
and announced that he had given the
matter absolutely no consideration.
II shall certainly take no action at
once" said the governor, "and / shall
carefully consider the matter before
make any announcement.
Whether the appointment will go to
Saginaw is a question. There is no
particular reason why it should and
the needs of the state as a whole will
be considered before any appointment
is made"
Already a number of names have
been suggested for the position. John
A. Mckay, prominent lawyer of Sag
inaw, is mentioned and also Hon. Ben
ton Hanchett.
IL is very probable that Saginaw
will present a candidate for the place,
but who 1t will be is still in the air.
There Is possibility that Henry N.
Carey of Manistee county, who was
defeated for denomination as regent
last spring, may be appointed by the
governor to fill out the unexpired term
David McMorran of Port Huron. son
OF Congressman McMorran, is another
name mentioned in connection with
the appointment.

CHRISTMAS TRADE BRISK.
London Shopkeepers Are Enjoying
Exceptionally Busy Season.

London, Dec 10.-The political sit
uation does not appear to be bother
ing the London shopkeepers very much
Christmas trade, which this year
promises to be unusually large. 1t
started i'm some time ago, for the
English people have to buy gifts for
their colonial friends and cannot put
off such purchases until the day before
Christmas.
The London shops are most fascin-
ating just now with their brilliant dis
plays of holiday goods, especially
those in the Ludgatc Hill district
Nowhere else in London is such a
scene to be witnessed, and it is a
question If such scene can be wit
messed anywhere else i'm the world. II
is difficult to imagine how one with
money to spend can resist the temp
tations of the shop windows. The
great stores are bewildering in their
displays. but more picturesque are
the gutter merchants-men. women
and children-who line the curb with
not an inch Of space between them.
Things to eat go i'm every properly
stocked package that leaves England
during the holiday season. The trade
in Christmas puddings for shipment
to Canada, India. South Africa, Aus
tralia and the West Indies is enor-
nous. The dealers i'm these wares
reap enormous harvests at this sea-
son OF the year. for the cheapest of
the plum puddings sent abroad costs
the buyer at least $40. and from this
figure the prices range upward to
s25 for the largest in size and best in
quality.
