NO WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC, GOVERNMENT AGENTS FIND
Not E Here From Abroad They SaThOse Already Vicious Sought
Immigration Authorities Report Indifference Of Other Countries
to Treaty Protecting Alien Girls.

Washington, D. C.--That the treaty
ratified on March 1, 1905, for the re-
preston of the "trafic in white wom-
en-" is practically worthless to this
Government in preventing the migra-
ton of alien procurers and prosti-
tutes, is the conclusion of Commits
sioner-General Keefe, of the Bureau
of Immigration, in report trans
mitted to the Senate by President
Taft.
Mr.. Keefe not only takes the posi-
ton that the treaty is worthless, but
he adds shat practically no co-opera-
ton at present can be expected of the
signatory Powers as regards the en-
forcement of the immigration laws
with which some of the Powers are
found to be out of sympathy"
The bureau made an effort to as
certain the degree of cooperation to
be expected of the signatories. The
following Powers were communicated
with; England. Germany, Austria
Hungary, Belgium, Spain, Russia,
Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Holland
Canada, Bermuda and Brazil. Re-
plies were received from the majority
of those countries. The replies dis
closed that no steps could be expected
to prevent the free passage from their
country to this side of the profess
sional prostitute or procurer who con-
stitute the bulk of white slave traffic
in this country
The procuring Of innocent women
and girls for purposes of debauchery,
he said, "has seldom il ever come tc
the attention of the bureau, and al
it is the purpose of the treaty to pre-
vent such procuration the treaty's
usefulness ends there.
"The present immigration law Is
not extensive and drastic enough In
terms to effectually prevent further
additions to the already large mum
bers of alien prostitutes and procur.
ers in this country, and does not pro
vide adequate means to rid the
country at large of those aliens who
are here unlawfully. and in particular
does not reach what is the very roo
of the evil, the free passage to ant
fro of those engaged in it.

officer, whose name is not given, con

firm the conclusions reached in this
country that there is no such thing
as an international organization hay-
ing for it's object the exploitation of
women in various countries by means
of the practice of prostitution. The
report says:
innocent women and girls are
rarely imported into this country for
purposes of prostitution, the great
bulk of such women coming in as
mistresses of various individuals and
subsequently adopting or being forced
into life of shame, and the procur
ers selecting their innocent victims in
this country"
Discussing conditions he found in
Europe, the United States agent says
the large cities were found to be so
infested with women of immoral ten
denotes, living in poverty and dire
squalor, that they were only too eager
to embrace the opportunity of living
comfortably in an improper life in
this country. Consequently. persons
who desire to get fresh supplies of
women for their resorts in the United
States are not forced to seek innocent
women, when with much less ex-
ertion. expense and danger numbers
of women can be found ready to ac-
cept their terms.
"The dance, concert and music halls
and the drinking places of the Conti-
mental cities we're found to be fertile
fields for the operations of the cadets,
with their numerous groups of wom-
en- not so openly immoral as to be
under police control, but who make
1t practice to add to their incomes
by immortality.
"In many of these cities 1t was
| found that certain cafes and resorts
are habitually frequented by persons
| seeking fresh supplies OF women, not
SO much because such resorts are
clearing houses but because women
of the type desired are to be found
and kindred spirits are always con-
| gregated there"
Tales of easy life and riches await
ing alien women in the United States
have much to do with the great in
crease of immoral women and attend
ant evils in this country, says the re-
J port.
