W. [. I. ]. WILL FIGHT WHITE
 SLAVE TRADE
TRADE IN GIRLS HAS BECOME WIDESPREAD AND Alb OF wo- MEMS ORGANIZATIONS NEEDED TO STOP IT.
CBy Associated Press.l

OMAHA, Oct. 25.-The trafic in girls has become more widespread than the public imagines," said Dr. O. Edward Janney. of Baltimore. before the National W. c. T. U. convention today. 1sak
 s"The main line of its operation" he continued, '1s from Montreal, Boston and New York, westward through Buffalo. Pittsburg, Chicago, Omaha and Denver to San Francisco and Seattle. It even reaches across the ocean for victims"
 The federal government, he said. is doing all it can to suppress the traf- fic, but is hampered by supreme court decision that this is a matter vii Which the police power of the states should deal. He urged the w. c. T. U. to influence their etate 'eeislst' T8 10 pass more drastic law s Cn this suFiect.
 Dr. Janney is chairman of the na- tional vigilance committee for the suppression of the white slave traf- fic.
 John Marshall, assistant attorney general of Kansa discussed the inter- state traffic in liquor. He favored a congressional enactment making it unlawful to ship liquor into prohibit tion territories, declaring. that con gress is barred by the constitution from delegatirg its authority over in- terstate trade to the states. He said Senator Curtis and Representative Miller, of Kansas, had promised to Introduce the necessary bill at the next session congress.
 One of the notable speakers to- night was Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the missionary whose abduction and ran som in southern Europe few years ago made her internationally known.

A. B. Hodges has been appointed manager of the Administrations Min ing company, the news of this move reaching B.sbee yesterday. The report is confirmed by President Thomas Mir. Hodges assumes con t.ol of his new office November 1.
 MT. Hodges, who is one of the best known mining men in America is also general manager of the Granby min ing company, one of the foremost in the country, ranking with the Copper Queen and the Amalgamated for soli. dity. He will hold both offices here after, devoting portion of his time to each company. k
 Mir. Hodges several mosshs ago, in the capacity of an expert, examined the Shattuck-Arizona mine, and in his report stated that he considered it. from it's showing and indications one Of the few really great mines of the world. There is at present he says, 100000 worth of ore in sight, figuring at the prevalent low price for the metal.
 Mir. Hodges will supplant no one as the line of work he will undertake has hitherto been performed to great extent by L. c. Shattuck of this city in the capacity of managing director. There has never been a general man ager until this time.
 MT. Bardon denies the story con cerning the purchase of the Shattuck by the Calumet & Arizona and strong ly intimated that with the coming of Mir. Hodges into the management of the companys affairs the smelling plant of the company, at Douglas, which has been talked of and ground secured for it, will become a reality In the east generally speaking the Shattuck, not having {, a,smelting plant ] of it's own, is believed to have adopted policy of soundness in not produc' i ing ore at the low price obtained for copper. This is one of the things which give stockholders and the gen eral public confidence in the manage ment one of the most conservative

in the strike here three years ago, but the evidence was not strong enough to justify his detention. He left short
 ly afterward, owing to large board bill to an American widow, who still carries the account against him. This indebtedness may have something to do with the strong fight that has been put up against deportation.
 The eage-ness with which money
 was subscribed to aid this fake martyr to a fancied cause, his marriage to an American woman of refinement and means, with sympathy from the press, have humiliated local Ameri- cans and are not calculated to imbue Mexican people with a high opinion of American intelligence and good judgment It seems that every state ment he made was accepted as gos- pei truth. He claims to have descend ed in direct line from a famous man who fought under Hidalgo in the great st.uggle with the Spanish crown; history does not reveal this contention and the genealogical tree awaits discovery. He says the Mez1- can government seeks him with mer-
 ciless design; the authorities of that government are not responsible for any imprisonment he has undergone

 He has simply made the best of the misguided sympathies his ingenuity has aroused and profited financially by the scheme. When the Los An: geles people learn that he is com monplace Charlton a notoriety seeker for mercenary motives, whose every grievence is chimericaI and woven from his own imagination, they will be less willing to shower him with the attention that has recently fallen at his feet. If the good people of Los Angeles really want to do him a good turn, they should deduct the overdue board bill from the fund that has been placed at his disposal. The widow needs it and he owes it. Besides, this act would, as far as anyone knows make his return to Mexico a matter of his own vOlition.

TELLS OF GLOBE .-"..
 PROSPEROUS STRIKE

Hoval A. Smith was in the city yesterday, returning to Globe yester- day where he has devoted the greater part of his time during the past six months and where he is interested in several of the important mining enter prises of that district.
 Mir. Smith. with his mining part. ner, Mir. Hoveland, recently pur- chased the Black Warrior in the Globe district and is now operating that property. These gentlemen also control the Globe Consolidated, the Cordova and other enterprises in the vicinity of Globe.
 Speaking of the Globe district he stated that while a great deal of de velopment had been pushed during the last two years there was increased activity throughout the district caused by the completion of the branch rail road to the Miami property which will also serve the Cordova properties the Black Warrior and others in the vicinity of the Miami. The Aizona Commercial has beer put into commission and another branch railroad is being pushed out to that property

 This resolution of Mir. Smiths was adopted by the convention which also unanimously passed a vote of thanks to the Los Angeles Clearing House association for it's invitation.
 Judge Frederick S. Nave, who was expected to make an address on How the Outsidkr Looks at the Bank, {" was prevented by illness from being present and consequently his paper had to be omitted from the program.
 The Banquet.
 The banquet at the Dominion hotel with which the entertainment of the visiting bankers was concluded Sat urday night, was manifestly an occa- sion of mirth and laughter and noth- ing else, and so far as one could see, the terrors of the morning after" had no depressing )effect on. the spirits of either the guests or their hosts. i,Syf-I3
 Between 9:3O and 10 o'clock the doors of the main dining room swung open and disclosed to view perpara- tions for a spread calculated to meet the approval of even a banker, and an Arizona banker at that. The tables were tastefully decorated with roses and ferns and were arranged in the form of large rectangle open at one end and having at the other ex- tremity a table placed crosswise at which the toastmaster and a number of speakers had places of honor. Those who sat at his table were Charles L. Rawlins, master of cere- monies; President c. O. Ellis, Secre- tary Morris Goldwater; NJ. J. Cunning ham, J. K. Lynch, George J. Stone man and G. W. P. Hunt.
 As a mere description of banquet in no way suffices unless it is supple mented with the viands themselves, no graphic account of the delectables is necessary, except to say that the note of melody that flowed from the instruments of the negro orchestra were not the only liquid things in the dining hall. About seventy people wer present.

MINISTER TALKS UPON FIGHT
 WITH DEITY

A large and attentive audience was that which heard Rev. W, E. Spicer Sunday evening in an address upon the subject Gods Controversy with the Peop,e." The text was fo rried upon Hosea ", verses and ?, and while MT. Spicer dealt largely with the sins of swearing, drunkenness murder and adultery, the principal feature of his discourse was the lat ter, the recent action of the city council in doing away with licenses or the redlight district residents being discussed.
 If the officers of this city can pro teet you and your homes from contact with fallen women for $5 month i- cense, I think they could do it for patriotic reasons. If they cannot pro Fect us for patriotic reasons they could give no protection if the women paid them one thousand instead of five dollars each month. If the officers 10: Bisbee will not give you protectio& they are unworthy as officers aui men and untrue to their. oath I believe they will protect you for believe them honorable men.
 Tt is argued that the red light district is a necessity in every town. I do not think so, but if it is a neces- sity, then it is right. If 1t is right it is .he Tatriotic duty of every mother and father having daughter to set one aside for the district. If tn edistrict is a necessity then the women who in habit 1t should not be calld fallen" !" but rather exalted because of being made martyrs to the cause of hu- manity.
 q say the district is not a necessity and if we men say we have to have it, we do not walk in real mems shoes, Men admire and respect womanhood instinctively and chivalry and knight hood, dormant in all male humanity, are indeed dead in the heart of a man who says he must prostitute wom- anhood.
 T have nothing to say as to the motive for resembling the ordinances nor any politics which may be mixed in it. I do commend the city coun- cil for ceasing to license a crime. Furthermore the day is near at hand when the salCNL 2 prolific source of the crime of adultery must % from our midst. od's controversy is on and His victory is assu cd"
