The four double dwelling houses owned
by Joseph Graham. located in North
Laurel. were totally destroyed by fire
late Saturday night, together with their
contents. The fire originated in the sec
ond story of Mr.. Bells home, from a de-
| fective fiue, and as the flames spread
rapidly some of the residents were COM
PEELED to escape in their night clothes.
Mr.. Bells child barely escaped alive.
Owing to the fact that the houses are
outside of the town limits it was i'm
possible for the local fire department to
go to the scene, as the nearest plug was
half mile away. A number of the resi-
dents did all they could to save the build
ings. but the fire had gained such head
way. it was impossible to check the
flames. The loss is estimated at 5000,
partly covered by insurance. All four
houses were occupied at the time of the
tire by colOred tenants.

is UNDER CONSIDERATION
Heavy Punishment Proposed of
Those Who Lure Persons to
Immoral Lives.

A white slave law for the District of
Columbia is outlined in the bill intro
duced in the House by Representative
Olcott and referred by the Commission
ers to the Office of the corporation coun-
sci for a report as to its effectiveness
and constitutionality.
The measure appears to be a drastic
one. with penalties ranging upward to ten
years in the penitentiary and fines of
varying severity ranging from a maxi
mum of $1,000 to fines of no limit at all.
except minimum of $500.
Punishment for Tempter.
1t makes an outlaw of any man or
woman who inveigles q girl into a house
Of disreputable character. The bill is SO
worded that it would seem very hard to
escape the penalty for any one at all who
has anything to do with placing a woman
in house of ill fame either by force,
threats, promises or by any device or
scheme at all. In other words, any
person at all who has anything to do
with placing a woman i'm house OF the
character mentioned-except that the
woman goes entirely of her own free
will and knows In advance what she is
and fined The limit is ten years and a
thousand dollars, and there is no alterna-
tive fine or sentence.
This section of the bill has the same
penalty for any person forcing. woman
to be married against her will. 1t in
cludes parents and guardians who have
knowledge of what is going on and make
no attempt to stop 1t.
The second section of the bill is con-
fined to what are known in other cities
as cadets" 1t imposes fine of not
over thousand dollars and a Jail term
Of from three to ten years on any man
or woman who shall place any girl in
the custody of another person for Inn
moral purposes. 1t strikes blow at any
attempt to live on the earnings of an I'M
fortunate woman. An additional penalty
of a thousand dollars and ten years in
Jail Is provided for the man who receives
money for placing woman in house
for immoral purposes.
1t provides a ten-year penalty for any
person who forces his wife to live an i'm
moral life
