passage is certain
The law as TO aliens provides a
maximum penalty OF $4,000 and ten
years Imprisonment for any person
found guilty OF importing a girl for
improper purposes or harboring such
a victim.
Rep. Mann, (Rep. llls.) chairman OF
the house committee on interstate
commerce, has undertaken to make
impossible the traffic between states.
He introduced bill imposing pen
atty not exceeding $4,000 fine and FIVE
years Imprisonment for any person
who induces or aids a woman or girl
TO 40 from one state to another for
immoral purposes.
In cases where the age OF the girl
is less than Is years the extreme
penalty is fixed at $4,000 fine and ten
years Imprisonment.
Mann's bill was passed by the house
last January and is now in the hands
OF substitute committee of the SEN
ate committee on immigration. A
member OF the committee said today
that favorable report would be made
and there seemed TO be no doubt of
its enactment
In support of this measure, Mann
said

effort ought to be made by congress
