pressed that it was my duty and the
duty Of my associates to put An end
TO white slavery, | marvcled at the
craftiness of those who were responsib bic
for this condition. Stories have APP

cate but, for n time, it was a hope

The newspapers announce that the in
vcshgation has been given up, as the
probers have found that the so-called
syndicate was an organization without
form or substance,
Secret Investigation.
Here Mr.. Rockefeller chuckled to
himself ut the manner IN which the
newspapers had been led astray; 'the
search then commenced privately with
secret agents TO carry it on in the
west continued he. ''I was interest
| ed in the reports of the men and
women who were working elsewhere,
and i ceased to be astonishcd when |
| saw that conditions in other cities were
as bad, if not worse, than they were
| in New York
The deviltry Of these men and women
exceeds belief. They are without
shame. For the paltriest sum of money
they will stoop to the blackest of
crimes. But this horrible institution
must go. Not only here, but else
where, there can be no compromise

Mr.. Rockefeller was so appealed by
| the disclosures that he went to his
father anG explained that. in view Of
the revelations, he felt he ought TO de-
| vote his time and money TO the inves
| tlgation. He expressed tho hope to his
father that the crusade might be made
international. he told his father some
Of the frightfu stories.
John d. Rockefeller listened gravcly
TO this. recital, and then told his son
TO go ahead. "You have my sympathy
in this work, and so have those who
arc helping you, and you shall have
more than that; you shall have all
| the material aid necessary John -.
| Rockefeller, Sr., is said to have told
| his son.
How Work Is Done
All this time the investigation was
| supposed TO be tagging, but Mr.. Rookie
| feller had applied portion Of his for
tune to hiring private detectives to look
upon the ramifying ouds Of the traffic
in cities in the northwest the south
and the middle west, Women We're
retained-women prominent in social
work-so that no suspicion should be
attached to their testimony. They were
told not to seek the assistance of the
! police or detectives in the various cities
| visited. Their instructions were to
| work alone, and all were amply sup
tered. one going to juneau, Alaska,
others TO Seattle, Wash, Denver, ST

After Mr.. Rockefeller had offered
$4,000 to Mayor Gaynor to assist the
police in Investigations, he was led to

shown If the police were not drawn
into tho affair.

The Indications now are that the
federal authorities will Ia ke a hand
following the revelations that tho New
York end constitutes Just a little end OF
the white slave organization. Follow

indicated in Mr., Rockefeller's inter
view that America and England may
Join hands in wiping out the institution
of white slavery the world over.
The French government for some
time has been interested IN this trou

District Attorney Whitman today re-
fused to reveal his hand and refused
to say what action this government
would take although he said the most
sensational developments were yet to
come.
The evidence Of women in the far
west, who readily furnish the investi-
gators with the identity Of tho New
York branch Of the white slave trust,
will be necessary. IT was reported to-
night that arrests in other cities are
imminent.
