CONDITIONS IN PENSACOLA.

That the white slave traffic is Cal.

ing an Investigation along tnese lines
Chief Of Police Frank Sanders and
Deputy Marshal Andersen were brief
ly interviewed along these lines yes
tsTday. The former expressed doubt
as TO any such conditions existing
lere, while Capt. Anderson stated thai
such a thing is net impossible, al
though il is improbable, right at this
time.
At any rate, transactions in i'm
moral women, or women tor Immoral
purposes, which now comes under the
head Of the white slave" trade have
been carried On in Pensacola But
not recently. the latest case having
been about two years ago.
IN this case. Capt. Anderson was
the officer conducting the inves tlga-
ton and returning a girl from Atlanta,
who had been lured there by an At

The latter lived IN Atlanta and to all
appe arances was well to do and re-
spected, al home. IN Pensacola, al
first she IS said to have conducted A
boarding house and later a resort in
the "red light district.
Chief Sanders, while express sing eY-
treme doubt as to any foundation Of
the rumor, stated that at all times
Lis departm ent is ready to furniEh all
aid possible TO assist either IN a fed

said the chief, if the least grounds
for the prevalence Of the ruinor exist
ed, Or if the remotest sign of such a
condition could be seen, he would
start an investigation at once.
The white slave" trade has for the
past three years attracted much atten-

with the passage Of interstate laws,
governing or seeking to control the
traffic entered into campaign against
It. At first, the northern cities were
made the object Of q strict censorship D

ever, the government is turning its at
