CAMPAIGN NATIONWIDE.
q. S. Attorney in Chicago Plans War
on White Slave TrafRce.

CHICAGO, October pa nationwide
federal campaign against white slave
traffickers will be started II the plans OF
United States District Attorney Edwin W.
Sims matertalize.
Mr. Sims is in Washington comforting
with Attorney General Wickersham re-
garding the conditions that the investi-
gators Of the Department OF Justice have
disclosed. When the Mann bill was pass
ed, providing q heavy penalty for all per-
sons engaged in the traflc Of women, It
was supposed that many of these persons
would be driven out Of the business. In
stead Of this. however. the Investigators
are said to have learned that more per-
sons than ever before are engaged at the
present time in the traffic.
Recently the Investigators have visited
the strand "levee'' district in South Chi
caxo. which was practically wiped out a
wear ago in a series Of federal raids. Con-
ditious at present are said to be worse
than ever before.
Mr.. Sims will ask that orders be is
sued to all district attorneys for con-
certed action against the persons engaged
in the tra1ac.

HOME RULE FIRST STEP
FOR A FEDERAL EMPIRE
Writer in Times Declares Unionists
May Now Acquiesce
in Program.

LONDON, October 25.-The idea Of
home rule all around as the first step
toward the realization Of a federal en-
pire appears likely to become a working
policy. The fact that the Times has
just published a series Of articles, advo-
eating a compromise. urging that the
situation is quite changed since the
bloody eighties" and that the unionists
might now with dignity acauiesce In. al
though they could not initiate. a policy
of home rule, shows how unionist hos
tility toward home rule Is waning.
It is reported that the writer OF these
articles is a close friend OF A. J. Bal
four. the leader of the opposition in the
house Of commons, and Austen Chamber
lain.
Additional speeches by the master of
Eiibank, chief liberal whip. who spoke
at Belfast q few nights ago. and other
party leaders point to the probability
that conference on the veto power of the
house Of lords will be converted into q
round-table conference for discussion of
federal home rule. This plan would suit
the desire Of both liberals and conserva-
tivee and postpone the general election
until after the coronation.

NO SHERMAN VISIT
Vice President Too Busy to
Call at White House.
NO QUARREL WITH TAFT
Omission Explained as of No Spe-
cial Significance.
INVITATION FOR PRESIDENT
Secretary Nagel to Represent Ad-
ministration at Opening of Mu-
scum of Safety.
INVITATION FOR PRESIDENT

Vice President Sherman, who is in
Washington, was not at the White House
today. and had no appointment to go
there.
He is on his way south. and had so
many errands to attend to he did not get
opportunity to call on the President. The
omission Of the Vice President to make
his usual call was commented upon.
Comment on Situation.
1t was generally mentioned that the
Vice President has not seen President
Taft since the Taft letter was given out
asserting that he had not committed HIM
self to Mr.. Sherman for temporary chair
man of the New York republican conven-
ton. Opposed to these suggestions, how
ever. is the fact that in a dozen speeches
since that time the Vice President has
praised the President as the greatest man
who has sat in the White House in many
years.
There is no i'll feeling between them and
never will be. 1t is said by those close to
the President. They are exceedingly fond
of each other. and when Mr.. Sherman Is
in Washington he frequently calls upon
the executive.
To Encourage Life-saving Devices.
Charles P. Neil, commissioner OF labor,
called on the President today with Will
liam H. Tolman, director of the museum
of safety soon to be opened in New York.
The President was invited. to be present
at the opening in December.
AS Mr.. Taft cannot go, he asked Sec
rotary Nagel to represent him and the
administration, saying he desired to do
all within his power to encourage the
conservation Of human life through safe
ty devices Of all kinds especially on the
railroads and in the coal mines. Secre-
tary Nagel will make the visit
There are similar museums in twelve
important nations Of the world.

RATE HEARING STOPS,
SHIPPERS NOT READY
Failure to Have Witnesses
Prepared Results in Ad-
0urnment.

CHICAGO. October 25.-At the re-
sumption Of the interstate commerce
commission rate hearing today testi-
mony was heard for an hour and q
half, when adjournment was taken
until tomorrow, the shippers being un-
prepared to proceed with the presenta-
ton Of their contentious against pro-
posed rate advances.
Attorney John H. Atwood, represent
ing Kansas City shippers, explained to
the commissioners that E. j. Mcvann
Of Omaha, on whom he had relied to
prepare an analysis Of the statistics
presented by the railroads, had been
unable to complete his figures. Mr.. At
wood asked that the hearing go over
to tomorrow and the request was
granted. The question in cross-exam-
nation centered largely on the valua-
ton of the properties Of the railroads.
Controller Robinson of the Northwest
ern railroad said that in the subsidiary
lines Of his company the yearly de-
the reports to the interstate commerce
commission.
Sold Thirty Millions Stock.
In response to questions from Attor-
ney Frank Lyon, counsel for the COM
mission, Controller Robinson said that
in the fiscal year Of 1910 the North
western road spent $31.000,000. the
principal items Of expense being track
elevation and new stations in Chicago
about $4,000. 900 worth Of stock
was sold." said the witness. Ito meet
the expenses"
Mr.. Robinson agreed to produce ng-
ures showing the amount OF stock is
sued by the Northwestern road Tor
period of years and a similar agree
ment was made by William Ellis, com
merce counsel for the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul railroad regarding
the common and preferred STOCK issued
by that railway.
There was some delay in calling the
witnesses for cross-examination and
Commissioner Lane inquired:
what does this mean. gentlemen!
Haven't you got your witnesses ready
to 20 with the shippers case? Surely
you cannot be cross-examintng for
the purpose Of delaying the hearinE?'
No Witnesses Present.
Attorney Thorne admitted that he had
no witnesses present and said that he
was DESTROYS OF showing what he de-
clared to be 1.-The gross exaggeration Of
values" by the railroads.
Mr. Ellis was then asked by Attorney
Thorne IL he would separate the expenses
OF the freight and passenger traffic OF
the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad. The witness replied that the
separation OF the two accounts would be
extremely difficult and would be Of
little value. except to satisfy statistical
curiosity.
II have made various estimates Of the
freight and passenger traffic. said Mr..
Ellis, land I do not think that the pro-
nf
from the commonly accepted formula of
one-third to passenger and two-thirds to
the freight service"
Attorney Atwood then read into the
record the prices at which the common
and preferred stock Of the Chicago, Mil

1900 to 1909. and made his plea for a
