PICTURES TRAFFIC IN GIRLS
Appeal 10 Made at W. c. r. U. Con.
ventien to Work on state LeoIsla.
ture for More Drastic Laws.

Omaha, Neb. - DR.. o. Edward
Janney of Baltimore. Md, chair
man Of the national vigilance commit
tee for the suppression OF the white
slave" traffic, gave a stirring address
before the thirty-sixth annual conven.
ton of the National Woman's Chris
tan Temperance union.
DR.. Janney declared that the traf.
fic in girls has become an evil more
widespread than the public imagines,
reaching out into every part of this
country and even across the ocean for
victims. q,
The federal government, he said. Is
doing all it can to suppress the traf-
&c, but is hampered by supreme
court decision that this is a matter
for the police power of the states to
deal with. He urged the members of
the w. G. T. U. to influence their
state legislatures to pass more drastic
laws on this subject.

AGREEMENT IS PROBABLE
Secret Pact 10 Seen Between Italy
and Russia AZ Outcome Of Cars
Visit to Italy.

Rome, italy. = Rejoicing prevails
throughout the well-disposed part
of italian society because the cars
visit has not been marked by
sinister incidents. The toasts ex-
changed by the sovereigns are gener-
ally applauded. The nation is wax
ing up to the fact that the meeting is
the outward symbol Of important Sc
cret understandings and the comment
of the press shows that according to
well-informed opinion Italy is playing
bold game.
Few political observers would have
credited the king and the government
with enough courage openly to fra
ternize with the Russian ruler, espe-
cially since the car offered Austria
almost an insult by making wide de-
tour to avoid crossing Austrian soil.
Italian feeling is tending still more
strongly toward rapprochement with
Russia and the opinion Is widespread
that Italy really had no choice except
to run the risk of offending Austria
and Germany, If those nations wish
to take otfense.

DOES NOT REDUCE DEFICIT
New Tariff Law Fails to Meet Predic-
tions Of It's Authors, According
-., to Treasury Statement.

Washington.-The new tariff law
is not reducing the treasury
deficit, as predicted by It's authors. 1t
is shown by q statement that the
deficit for the fiscal year up to Octo-
Der % was more than $32.000,000.
For the same period last year the
deficit was only 100000 greater, or
}39, 997, 900. The new tariff has pro
duced $23.376, 900 more than the Ding
ley law in the same months last year,
and had the government kept within
its expenditures Of the former year
the result would have been deficit
OF only $16,000,00O. But the report
shows that the expenses were in.
creased more than $16,000,00O above
that of the same period last year,
most of it in the war and navy depart
ments.

SETBACK TO GOVERNMENT
Judge Holt Holds That Those indicted
Along with American Refining Com.

Statute Of Limitations.

New York. - Judge Holt, of the
United States circuit court hand
ed down decision which will enable
Gustav r. Kissel and Thomas B.
Harmed, who were indicted with the
American Sugar Refining Company on
the charge of criminal conspiracy to
escape prosecution under the provi.
sions Of the statute of limitations.
The opinion is far-reaching one.
according to the government attor-
neys, and, II upheld, is likely to prove
serious setback to the government
in many cases brought under the law
prohibiting conspiracy in restraint OF
trade. ssr
The indictments were brought In
connection with the closing of the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com
pany's independent plant in 1903. kis-
sci and Harmed pleaded that the plant
was closed down and the entire tran
saction for which they were indicted
was completed before January 4, 1908.
Therefore, they said, the indictment.
filed more than five years later. was
barred under the statute of limita.
lions, which sets a limit Of three years
for prosecution of Grimes not capt.
tall" .,.-
The government attorneys, on the
other hand, pleaded that the crime
charged against Kissel and Harmed
was continuous offense." and that
as long as the conspiracy continued
and the plant Of the Pennsylvania
company remained closed through the
action of the American Sugar Rein.
ing Company, the three-year period OF
the statute Of limitations should not
begin to run.
