Woltor Is as much the product OF
the white slave system as are any
of the girls he brought to ruin.
His father and mother are well
TODD and self-respecting German
people, but WOlter LETT them as
soon as he began associating with
youths who were in the white slave
business.
Like all Of the other youths in
the degrading traffic, WOlter had
no regard for any woman of any
class. Most of the girls he had met
had succumbed to his power and he
held the moral resisting force Of
women as very low. He insulted
the sister of his victim after the
murder.
Only a few hundred youths with
as little conscience and as much
cunning as Wolter might ruin
thousands of homes in the United
States within the course OF a year.
And undoubtedly there are scores
of them at their diabolical work in
every city in the country.
When the fate that awaits their
yictims-their lives in dingy rooms,
the rear booths of saloons, the side
walks, and finally the gutters-is
taken into consideration, the fate
of Ruth Wheeler seems merciful.

NEW YORK, April 22-The MUIR
der of Ruth Wheeler, 10 years old,
when she went to the apartments
of Albert Wolter white slave
trader, to answer an advertisement
for a stenographer, has revealed
terrible conditions in New York.
Seventy-five girls. between the
ages of Is and II years, have drop
ped from sight within the past two
months, only to be found by the
police in questionable surroundings.
Most of them were misled.
Fifteen have not yet been found.
Wolter, who was a pasty-faced
youth of 10, with no prepossessing
qualities. had two girls who worked
on the streets for him, and lived
with third, Kittie Mueller
Wolter, by various methods, would
bring about the downfall of girl
and would tell her that she was
ruined" but that he would protect
her from the police if she would go
on the streets and work for him.
That word ruin is one of the
standbys of the white slave trad
ers," says Mrs. Mary Freeman, SUI

Fight fans are certain today that
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien's re-

Jack made the remark during a

against the ropes and thereafter
beat him all around the ring.

Is VALLEY N GRASP Of
APPLE BUYING MONOPOLY?
Ira D. Edwards Addresses Open Letter to Growers of
Valley Setting Forth Facts Which Indicate an Effort
of Apple Buyers to Throttle Competition So They
May Secure Crop at an Enormous Discount.

The two buyers now present in
Wenatchee are not able, even when
joined by the local produce houses,
to handle more than about half the
crop of this valley. The downright
serious phase of the situation is:
What is going to happen to those
growers who are not being cared for
by the buyers? To arouse the grow
ers to realize the necessity of get
ting together and working out some
means of protecting themselves, Ira.
D. Edwards has addressed an open
letter which The Daily World is glad
to publish:
ITO the Growers of the Wenatchee
Valley:
You have produced the finest
crop of apples ever grown anywhere.
We all know that the visible supply
of good apples is the smallest it has
been for years; even smaller than it
was last year. There is demand
for your apples and there are. con-
sumers who are ready and willing
to pay you your price for them. You
do not feel this demand nor are you
offered the price that you should re-
ceive for your apples. How many
of you are satisfied with the condi-
tons you are up against in market
ing your crop this year?
Why is There No Bidding for Apples:
With conditions as they are to-
day and the quantity and quality of
apples that you have to sell, there
should be the liveliest kind of bid
ding among the apple growers of the
country. Why is it that this condi-
ton does not exist? 1t is simply be-
cause the men who buy apples are
longer headed than those who sell
apples. The buyers get together,
form associations, meet in conven-
tions and have a thorough under
standing. They allot certain terri
tory in which certain buyers shall
buy, and in every conceivable man
ner arrange to eliminate all competi-
ton in buying that would tend to
increase the price paid the grower.
And the grower sits supinely by and

WATTERSON ON
ROOSEVELT
Kentucky Newspaper Man
Says the Colonel Re-
: sembles Bryan.

Toledo, O., Sept. 14.-Col. Henry
Watterson created decided sensa-
ton among the distinguished guests
assembled to celebrate the 9th ami
versary of Commodore Peary's vic
tory by giving out statement that
Theodore Roosevelt resembled Bryan
| in all points; that the former presi-
dent intends to save the republican
party by Organizing it, and that
Roosevelt was trying his best to beat
out Taft.
1.-THE colonel is as open as the
day." said Colonel Watterson. HE
leaves no one in doubt as to his in
tentions; his route is laid, his plans
are set, his terms are writ, his very
time tables have their exits and their
entrances fitted to the prearranged
line of travel and triumphs.
Objective Point-Well!
His companions in the voyage are
cen Pinchot and Garfield. Their OBJ
iective point-well, if Taft does not
get out of the way he'll have to
though all of us are agreed that he
may serve out the rest of his term
"Ridicule and abuse" said Colone
Watterson, further, equally fall
from the colonel's back like water
from a ducks back. All things thai
are great are simple. The Roose
Welt scheme, first to Bryanize the
republican party, and, under cover
of the issue of the new nationa
Righteousness in public life and the
setting of the man above the ma
chine, the cleansing of the AugeaT
stables and the mending of the lo
of the lowly and the poor, to SWEEP
the country, though daring, is goot
scheme of practical politics, con
ceived and brought forth by mar
of rare sagacity and splendid ex
ecutive ability.
Hard to Head Off.
IF it is to be headed off the rea
backbone and muscle of republican
ism, the protective tariff system
must take the field and who shall
say that a man so fertile of inven
ton, so fruitful of resources, so ex
pert and so intrepid in action, has
not already given the blood ant
brains of the republican Leadership
the assurance that their interest:
shall be duly cared for when Tedd!
comes marching home?
Politicians, as a rule, are COW
ardly set: without regard to tenden
cies or consequences they follow
what seems to be the multitude anc
from now on the republican leader:

argue that he alone can save the re
publican party.

himself could expound.'

Are the growers of the Wenatchee
valley in the grasp of buyers mo-
nopoly? The situation is alarming,
if not serious. Jonathans are now
ripe and being picked. The ship
ping season of winter apples will be-
gin in dead earnest within week or
so. An apple famine exists in over
half of the continent. Wenatchee
has the greatest crop in its history,
and stands today the leading apple
producing district of the world.
Thirty million people in the east
want apples and they are represent
ed in Wenatchee by just two lone
buyers.
Last year at this time and for
weeks previous there were from 40
to so buyers present. True they
did not offer much competition to
the same two men who again con-
troll the field this year. Comparison
indicates only that the method of
impressing the mind of the grower
has changed.
How do the buyers explain the
situation? They say that many who
purchased apples f. o. b. last year
lost heavily and that eastern buy
ers have given up hope of securing
Wenatchee apples at price on
which a profit can be made.
If such losses did occur, 1t was not
because of the excessive figures
which the grower received for his
product. Reports from many sources
indicate that consumers paid an
average of 50 per box more than
growers were allowed for the same
fruit f. o. b. shipping point. The
buyers say they have been getting
only 10 cents per box out of this 81
Many growers are beginning to
wonder if these buyers are so phil
anthropic as to give up 95 per cent
of the middleman's profit TO rail
roads. transfer companies, storage
houses and retailers. There are
ways known to commission men tc
reap profits which do not appear on
the companies books.
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-09-14

allows them to do it.
What is the result? You have
two or three million dollars worth
OF fruit which you must sell within
the next thirty to sixty days. Some
of you have pooled your crop with
the fruit growers association; some
of you have arranged to ship to Chi
cago on consignment. and the rest OF
you, and that means most of you are
wondering what in the world you are
going to do.
But Two Buyers Here.
lis is not significant that there
are but two men operating in this
valley whose firms are members of
the International Apple Shippers as
ISOLATION, and that their activities
and plans for handling your crop do
not in any manner conflict? Is there
not further significance in the fact
that those eastern and foreign apple
men who inform us that they han
died a great many of our apples last
year and expect to handle more of
them this year will not buy single
box of apples from you direct?
have not a word to say against these
men who could so readily explain
this arrangement or gentlemen S
agreement to you. Considering the
strangle hold they have on you
think they are mighty merciful.
Last year you received S1.75 to
50 for your Jonathans, and, govern
ed by the law of supply and demand
YOU should receive as much this year.
And what are you offered? $1.1O
and 1925. Do you realize that 10
cents a box means from $1o0,000 to
100000 to the Wenatchee valley
this year; that if the difference is
to be from 25 to SO cents box. as
the above prices would indicate, that
il means upward of half million
dollars; that next year it will mean
a million dollars if these conditions
are allowed to continue.
Hood River and all other sections
where the growers get together and
play the game as the buyers play 1t,
are reporting sales at figures very
satisfactory to the grower.
Strong Association Needed.
"Our salvation lies in getting to-
gether and staying together To be
effective. from IS to 90 per cent OF
the growers must band themselves
together. This organization would
be doubly effective if every banker
and all of the merchants go in and
back it up.
Give Association Help.
I'VE already have a fruit growers
association, but through lack OF
numbers and support it is not strong
enough to cope with the situation
If this organization can be strength
ened, broadened and so managed
that it will meet the requirements OF
the case, by all means give it the
help and support that it needs. Ii il
cannot be made to meet the needs

William Thaw, III. his mother has
guaranteed" her son to the future
Mrs. William Thaw, III. In other
words the Pittsburg society leader
and sister-in-law of Harry Kendall,
Thaw has passed her word that her
son, who has been one of the widest
of the Thaw connections, will be
good after his marriage.
A year or two ago, Mrs. Thaw,
after one of her sons unusually
spectacular performances, went into
court here and asked that her son
be declared an habitual drunkard
and that his property be turned over
to some one else. He persuaded his
mother not to press the charges.
He made some promises which he
promise not to drink at ALL but to
be moderate.
Once young Thaw forgot his prom
ice TO his mother. He drank 70
brandies and sodas at the Allegheny
Country Club on wager and for
days lay at the point of death.
When ThaW recently asked Miss
Bradley to marry him, she withheld
her answer for time, comforting
with her sister, Mrs. A. J. Drexel
Biddle of Philadelphia. Pittsburg
society has it that Mrs. Biddle came
to Mrs. Thaw and told her that I'M
less some guarantee be given that
William Thaw Ill. would be good
Miss Bradley would not accept him.
