WHITE SLAVE BILL
 MEETS OBSTACLES

Washington, December 15.-The effort of the present Congress to suppress the white slave" traffic has caused a ma states rights it is declared, and the House committee on interstate and for eign commerce, before which the Mann bill is pending, is at absolute loggerheads over the question.
 Such strong objection on the part of democratic members of the committee has ben manifested that the chairman and his republican associates have abandoned the measure until the next meeting of the committee Friday.
 Representative Richardson of Alabama takes the position that the bill consti- tutes an effort by the federal government to regulate the morals of the different states. He declares that if the bill be- comes a law, it is asserted, there are no limits to which the federal government might go in regulating the morals and health of a sovereign state.
 MT. Richardson is supported in his oppo- sition by Representatives Bartlett and Adamson of Georgia.
 It was stated today by a member of the committee that unless the minority members were successful in their fight in the committee they would report minor ity report and carry 1t to the floor of the House.
 The House committee on immigration is also colliding with few obstacles in its consideration of the white slave" question. When the committee took up the Bonnet bill today 1t was found that the measure clashed in many ways with the Mann bill. now before the commit tee on interstate and foreign commerce.
 The immigration committee named subcommittee of three members, Hayes of California, Gardner of Massachusetts and Burnett of Alabama, to conler in formally with the members of MT. Mann's committee and endeavor to influence the withdrawal of the Mann measure with the understanding that the immigration committee would report the Bonnet bill fayorably.
