WHITE SLAVE BILL
Passed the House Without u Formal
Division

Washington, Jan. 27-The Mann
white slave bill was passed by the
house yesterday by a viva vocc vote.
The action followed discussion dur
ing which Representatives Bartlett of
Georgia and Keifer of Ohio opposed
the sections which require keepers
of disreputable houses to report to
the commissioner general of immigra-
ton the names of inmates who had ar
rived in the United States within
three years.
Insisting that such provision was
all infringement upon the rights of
states, they also cited decisions to
prove that it was in violation of the
constitution.
The bill imposes fine of not more
than $4,000 and Imprisonment for not
more than five years upon any person
who knowingly aids in the transport
tation of any person by the purchase
of a ticket to be used i'll going to any
place for the purpose of prostitution.
Other provisions are aimed at pre-
venting traffic in alien women.

THE PUBLISHERS
DENY FIGURES
Say the Postofice Department
Erred Sixty Million on Mail
Haul Cost

Washington, Jan. 27.-.An error of
$60. 0.000.O00 is charged by the Associa-
tion of American Magazine publish
ers against the postoffice department
i'll the latter's figures on the deficit in
carrying second class mail matter.
This and other mistakes are alleged
to be in the departments figures up
on which basis it is proposed to raise
the rate for carrying magazines and
periodicals through the mails.
About twenty-five leading maga-
zine publishers appeared today as
!; representatives of the periodical pub
fishers association before the house
committee on postoffices and post
roads.
Frank H. Scott. president of the
Century company, said that any raise
in the rates OIL second class matter
would affect not only the publishers.
who themselves, he said, were by no
means wealthy, but also the printers,
paper manufacturers. advertisers,
authors, artists and the millions of
readers of magazines, with whom the
publishers would be compelled to ad-
Just the increased burden laid upon
them. 1t would result in greatly in
creasing the prices of magazines to
subscribers. said Mr.. Scott.
Several of the publishers gave ver-
bal testimony. but the answer which
attracted principal attention was the
pamphlet which was circulated, en-
titled THE Answer of the Maga-
Zines." According to this statement
there is not a deficit in the postal
department of seventeen million dol
lars. as the department alleges, but
actually surplus of over ten mil
lions, when the specific loss ON free
rural delivery is taken into consid-
Grafton.
Second" says the pamphlet, "the
departments figures of sixty-four mill
lions loss on second class matter is
wrong by over sixty millions"
Further" the statement reads
THE weight of second class mail has
been figured at 792,5SO,967 pounds. 1t
should be 694.S65,SS4 pounds. Also
$13.S21.1 100 of the loss of free rural
delivery has been wrongly charged to
second class matter after being
charged to free rural delivery

millions. for postofiice car service in
amount of nearly two and half mil
lions and for over charges on city
delivery. compensation to postmas-
ters. clerks. carriers, rentals and mis-
cellaneGus in amount of sixteen mil
lion dollars. is also enormously
charged against second class matter,
according to the statement.

That is not ali,"; replied the attor-
ney, "the fact that he acted at all
with reference to the continuance of
the contest was not consistent with
the highest conduct as an officer of
the government"
Then you claim he acted corruptly
or improperly" asked Senator Suth-
erland.
"Yes-improperly; that he acted
without due regard to the interest of
the government, while commissioner.
Also that he acted improperly after

claimants who had been before him
as commissioner.
I'VE claim that Ballinger's action
as commissioner was improper in his
failure to thoroughly investigate the
Alaska claims; that he acted i'm
properly in ordering these claims to
patent, and we charge that they we're
on the road to patent. with undue
haste, when CLAWS intervened and

partment. Cunningham said in let

You are aware" interrupted Rep
resentative Olmstead, that Secretary
Ballinger specifically denies all this?"
"Yes," replied Mr.. Brandeis, land
we will ask you to consider all our
statements in connection with this
denial"
"Then." interjected MIR. Madison,
you do claim MIR. Ballinger acted
corruptly?"
Mr.. Brandeis launched into a reply
with some show of feeling.

voice. II have desired to bring the
facts before this committee. l deem

that no charge Of corruption should
be made. 1t is matter for this COM

benefit of the people and for future
generations is in safe hands. We
make no charge except the charge
of the facts. 1t is for you gentlemen
to determine what the safety and the

In connection with the Wilson Coal
company case, Mr. Brandeis charged
that Ballinger acted as counsel

case whic hinvolved perjury on the
part of the claimants and fraud
upon the land laws.
Mr.. Brandeis said he would ask
from time to time for the production
of papers in the land Office and in

cial offices in Seattle and elsewhere.
He was directed to furnish the COM
mittee with list of all the papers
desired and was assured they would
be produced.
MIR. Brandeis promised that the in

But he, lord of them all, does not
tolerate contradiction, and, besides,
his brain is heated with the wine
that he has drunk. He looks imper-

Is seated opposite him, and gives her
this order: Show them your throat!'
She cries: Rudolf, you are mad!'

her glass, which is half full, and
filings it across the table at the face
of her insulter. The glass is broken
and a little blood flows. The wound
ed man no longer knows where he Is.
He fancies himself on a battlefield
or fighting duel. Automatically he
puts his hanG to pocket of his tu-
mic. He extends his arm over the
tablecloth, fires, and La vetsera falls.
"Who would dare to put the second
act of the drama on the stage?-this
tumult, this tablecloth swept away,

they no longer see anything but q

story of the tragedy she related in

staying, and carried across the from

New York, Jan. 27.-The retail

the agitation for cheaper meat, felt
the pinch of the situation today and
many of them lowered the prices.
Thus the recent reductions in the
wholesale rates began to benefit the
consumer. But the demand failed to
pick up much and every evidence was
given that large section of the pub
lie was either eating no meat at all
or much less than in normal times.

late king of the Belgians without con-

official story of the death of Arch
duke Rudolf, who married Louise's
sister, Princess Stephanie.
Since the tragedy, which occurred
in the shooting box at Aleyerling,
near Vienna. January 30. 1889. several
stories concerning the affair have
been told. The first official story was
that the archduke, who waS the only
son of Emperor Francis Joseph. had
died OF apopleXy; the next is that he
had shot himself accidentally. A

was given to the local authorities by
an early report that the Seine was
stationary at its upper branches. At
Melun, Nogent and Bray, the maxi

night. On the other hand the river
Marne was reported as still rising
and new and higher flood was rae

of the situation this morning was the
