At every station on the route from

FOUR GIRLS ARE PURCHASED
NEW YORK JURY AGENTS UN-
EARTHS WHITE SLAVERY.
Three Arrests Are Made-Women Aid
in Expose of East Side
Conditions.

New York. = The grand jury in
vestigating the so-called white slave"
traffic has found that not only
do the conditions described in maya
zine articles exist but that grand
jury representative, James B. Rey-
nolds, through women agents, has been
able actually to purchase four Slaves, %
two of whom are mere girls.
Three arrests were made as result
and another arrest is expected.
Harry Levinson, who trafficked in
girls on the East side, and Belle
Moore, a negress, who sold white
girls on the West side, are the prin-
cipals. Aleck Anderson, a negro en-
ployed in the Union cafe in Broadway,
also was arrested. Levinson was held
in $4,000 BAIL
The girls purchased are all under
eighteen years of age. Two Of them
appear much younger than that.
District Attorney Whitman said that
it would have been an easy matter for
the agents to have bought many more
girls had not they insisted on having
exceedingly young ones.
The women who did most of the
work relating to the purchases are
college graduates. One of them is
from Radcliffe and the other from
Smith.
They had little trouble after they
once had their plans laid out, but they
had to do considerable travelling.

PRESIDENT NOT ADVERTISER
TELLS BUFFALO CLUB HE PRE-
FERS TO BE ADVERTISED.
Allows Himself to Be Quoted in
Interview on New York Po-
litical Situation.

Buffalo, n. Y.-President Taft and
Secretary of State Knox, as guests of
the Buffalo "Ad." club at luncheon,
made two little impromptu speeches.
The president talked of his legisla-
tive hopes, but declared he preferred
being advertised rather than to ad-
vertise himself, despite the criticism
that he did not sufficiently employ that
agency. AT banquet of commercial
men he spoke kind word, indirectly,
for Secretary Ballinger.
Mr.. Taft broke a presidential prece-
dent by allowing himself to be quoted
at an interview with reporters. He
asked his interviewers to keep away
from politics, but they plunged right
into the New York situation and es-
pecially the appointment of Governor
Hughes to the Supreme court bench.

nominated, and we went over the ques-
ton of his running again for governor.

AS to the income tax, the president
said:
"My views on that subject have not
changed in any way. l am decidedly
in favor of giving the government the
right to levy such a tax in time OF
necessity
President Taft, speaking at the ban
quet held by the chamber of com
merce and the Manufacturers club
spoke of Niagara falls as an embar-
rassment, because of its scenic gran.
deur and industrial utility. This
brought him to a discussion of the
conservation of natural resources and
indirectly to a reference to Secretary
Ballinger, when he said:
LET me lift my voice in behalf OF
those who are responsible for carry
ing forward this work and plead that

a problem most difficult"
The president spoke of the conser
walton bills in congress, and especial
ly the one confirming the right of the
executive to withdraw lands from pub
lie entry. Then he paid another com
pliment to Governor Hughes.
After the banquet the president left
for Pittsburg, Pa.

CLUB TO PROMOTE HAPPINESS

All clubs exist to make people conn
Portable and happy-they can have
no other raison d'etre-but London
has a new club which specializes in
happiness, so to speak," says Chica-
go Record-Herald. None but the
happy can belong to it; none but those
who seek happiness will be permitted
to have good cry" in order to real
ize happiness The idea of such a
club, II seems, was suggested by the
splendid success of Maeterlincks
charming and beautiful poem-play
''The Blue Bird" This is a delicious
fantasy for children and adults alike,
and IL teaches the truth that happi-
ness lies near at hand, in ones home
and immediate surroundings, rather
than in distant unrealizable plans and
assiduously seek happiness fail to find
1t. or find it only when, after many dis
appointments and shattered illusions,
they return home-apparently empty
handed It may seem at first that the
moral of Maeterlinck's play bars the
seeking of happiness in club as well
as in any other external, material
thing, but we must not be too logical
and too podantic. There is no reason
why people with the genius for happi-
ness should not flock together and af-
ford an example to those of us who
worry and fret and take life too
tragically or business too gloomily.

Embarrassing situations are bound
to grow out of the common use of
wireless telegraphy, and the sooner
international regulation is established
the better it will be for all concerned.
When the Italian steamer, Duca d.
Aosta, was at sea on her recent trip
her operator picked up a dispatch
warning one of her passengers to be-
ware of arrest in Sicily. This made
the captain suspicious and he sent an
aerOgram to the chief of police at
Naples, who is now trying to discover
what 1t all means. There may have
been sound reasons for this display of
interest in this particular case, but the
incident shows how easily a practical
joker could bring down serious trouble
upon the head of an innocent sea voy-

thousands of enthusiastic New York

hall at $40 p. m, completing the
transcontinental journey of 3,483 miles
in " walking days, starting Feb. 1, a
feat without parallel in the annals Of
pedestrianism.
The grizzled athlete was welcomed
to his home city by Mayor Gayn0r,
who presented him purse of $500
hurriedly raised by a handful of his
admirers in the last hours of his
spectacular walk.
From Yonkers, where he had spent
Sunday, to the upper residential Sec
ton of Manhattan, which he reached
at time when most of the popula-
ton had departed for the day of work,
his progress was pathetically unspecta-
cular. Here and there small groups
paused to observe him curiously and
women and children waved encourage
ment as he passed.
At One Hundred and SiXty-eighth
street opposite the American league
baseball park, Weston received the
first concerted cheer of the morning
and his eyes sparkled with apprecia-
ton. Even here, however, his escort
was less than a hundred. But it grew
to twice that number by the time One

When the journey was resumed at
1 o'clock the crowd had grown to near

to clear a way A call for reserves
was sent and with their arrival some
semblance Of order was established.
When Forty-second street was
reached the escort of police, though
twice doubled on the way, had again
become inadequate, for $4,000 persons
crowded into Times Square to cheer
the walker on. Thence to the city

Boston, Speaker Cannon, in an ad-
dress at the Middlesex club at the Gel

versary of the birth of General Grant,

Thomas B. Reed once said" the
speaker declared, that the noise
made by a small but loud minority in
the wrong is too often mistaken for
the voice of the people and the voice
of God That remark applies to the
discussion of the rules"
The speaker stated that the rules
were the development of 100 years.
that they were substantially as they
had been for a generation; that cam
paign against the rules 20 years ago
brought out all the denunciation made
within the last two years, and that on
the former occasion it was the loud
minority" trying to dictate legislation.
In discussing the criticism of Gen
eral Grant during his administration
as president, Speaker Cannon found a
parallel in the attacks on the pres
ent administration and inferred that

Withdrawn by GarfieId-Refers to

secretary of the interior, on the stand
continued before the BallingerPinc
investigating committee his contradic-
tions and denials of charges and accu-
sations made against him.
Passing from the subject of Alaskan
coal lands. Mr.. Ballinger launched
into a justification of his attitude
toward the reclamation service. His
most important denial was of the
charge made by Director F. H. Newell
and Chief Engineer A. P. Davis of the
service, that he misrepresented to
President Taft that the reclamation
service had recommended the restora-
ton of the water power sites with
drawn by Secretary Garfield.
The reclamation service officials
swore Mr.. Ballinger ordered them to
recommend the reservations. The
secretary swore just as positively that
he made no such order, although he
felt the lands had been illegally with
drawn and should be restored to entry
and had so stated to the reclamation
officials.
Mr. Ballinger made no secret of the
fact that he would like to see Mr.
Newell superseded as head of the
reclamation bureau. He told the com
mittee he did not have much conf
dence in the directors administrative
ability, although he denied hostility to
| the governments reclamation policy

service. Mr.. Ballinger retorted sharply
Because my hands have been uI
for months and l haven't been able
to get them down."

was brought to Mr.. Ballinger's atten
tion Both Director Newell and En-
| gineer Davis had testified that E. T
| Perkins, purchasing agent at Chi
cago for the service, had received
| $500 a month for period Of -four

| They said the matter was called tt
Mr. Ballinger's attention and that he

had instructed him that nothing
should be done which reflected on Per
kins. Is that true?" asked Mr.. Yer
trees of the witness.
"There is not particle of truth
in it" replied Mr.. Ballinger.
