TWO MEN Hello
ON CHARGES OF
GIRL PRISONERS
Latter Claim They We're Brought
Here from Homes in Other
Cities.

After a surveillance of several days,
Captain Ryan, with Roundsman Lued-
deke and Patrolmen Conrad, Goetter
Murtha, %Sto.lberg and Henry, last night
raided the premises at III South Canal
street and arrested two women and one
man, and at the same time uncovered
what is probably the most glazing evil
dence of white slave traffic in New
ark, completing the case today by the
arrest of John Long, % years old, the
alleged proprietor of the South Canal
street house.
Those arrested last night were Frank
Civolo, "a years old; Rosie Burke. %
years old, and Marie Conklin, IL years
old. According to the stories told by
the girls to the police, the Burke Girl
was brought mere from ottawa, Canada,
a week ago last Sunday, while 17-year-
old Marie Conklin has only been a resi-
dent of Newark since last Sunday,
having been brought here from Pough-
keepsie. N. Y.
When Patrolmen Murtha. Henry and
Smith brought Long to the First Pre-
cinct Station today they were prac-
tically certain of their man, ~ not
absolutely positive. Captain Ryan
SolVeu tne ulI1lculty by taxing out or his
office a handsome fur coat which had
been captured In the raid last night,
and asking the prisoner if it were his.
Long, evidently pleased at recovering
his lost property, readily admitted the
ownership and thereby clinched the Of
ficers' identification.
Captain Ryan will leave no stone I'M
turned in his investigation. the pris-
oners being in the meanwhile held In
the First Precinct Station. When seen
today Captain Ryan said: although
I cannot state positively that this is
evidence of white slave traffic. 1 DO
feel certain that the cadets noted for
their practises in New York city, have
attempted to gain a foothold in New
ark, and l shall do everything in my
power to stamp it out. From the stories
told me by the girls, both of whom adj
nit that they were engaged in an
Illegal business, they were both brought
here under promises and sent to the
South Canal street address. They do
not know the name of the man who
took them from their respective homes
in Canada and Poughkeepsie."
Long will in the meantime be charged
with being the proprietor of an objec-
tionable house, while the other prison.
ers Will be held as material witnesses
and the entire case prcbed to the bot
tom.

WASHINGTON & LEE CLOSED
Holiday Given as a Precaution on
Account of Fever

ACCOUNT OF rover
The students of Washington and
Lee University were granted their
Christmas holiday beginning last
Sunday, on account OF the develop
ment of several cases of typhoid
fever during the week previous
among students. The step was
aiken in order to exercise the ut
most precaution.
Announcement to this effect was
made by President George II. Denny
to the student body Sunday after
noon at meeting held 10 the Lee
Memorial chapel at l o'clock. He
stated that this action was further
warranted by reason of the fact that
class work for the term had been
completed and only the examinations
remain, and that the faculty had
satisfactorily adjusted the examina-
ton matter by emitting exami nations
on the work OF the first term.
President Denny advised the
young men to exercise the greatest
Judgment in their r. ports of the
closing of the school, so that no un-
due alarm might be caused at their
homes. In q straightforward, heart.
to-heart talk TO the students he said
that nothing had been concealed from
them, but that an open, frank state
ment had been made about the con-
dition, and that the students had
been allowed to begin their Christ
mas holidays at once simply as a
precautionary measure, in order to
allow the students 20 scatter, with
the hope that the young men might
be removed from being exposed TO
any possible cases.
There was great demonstration
among the students when President
Denny made his announcement. A
large number of students left Lex
ingtOn Sunday and Monday for their
homes. At present there are not
as many as one hundred remaining.
Following is the announcement
made by DIR. Denny:
One week ago, at the time of the
furloughing of the Virginia Military
Institute cadets on accI unit OF the
pink-eye and several cases of ty-
phoid fever, statement was made
to the effect that there was not a sin
gle case of fever at Washington g.
Lee. Since that time, several cases
have developed. The State sanitary
engineer who has investigated the
situation, expresses the opinion that
the cause of infection no longer ex-
lists. This opinion is shared by the
local board Of health.
1t has already been stated that
the source of the trouble has been
aScribed to the periodic turning off
of the town water supply in the dry
season. This situation has been
remedied in the last few days by ad-
ding new and adequate supply.
1T has seemed proper, however,
in view of the uncertainty as to
whether there may not be additional
cases to develop in the next few
days. due to the cause that existed
within the last two weeks, that the
young men shall be allowed to begin
their Christmas vacation at once.
The work of the fall term is prac-
tically completed and fortunately
little time will be lost. The exami-
nations are about to begin, and an
equitable adjustn ent of that phase
of the situation has been made.
The winter term will begin, as
announced in the catalogue, Tues
day, January 3. at a. M
