Washington, Jan. 11.-After pass ing the army appropriation bill. carrying S95.2O0.000. the house today took up one af the so-called White Slave" bills. Opposition developed to' that portion of the measure reported by the immigration committee. which makes it a felony for any person to assist one to go from one state to another for the purpose of engaging in prostitution.

 The other white slave" bill, intro duced by Mir. Mann. enlarges upon the interstate commerce feature of the pending measure so as to prevent white slave traffic between the states The immigration committee seeks to exclude from the country. all undesirables, especially immoral wo- men, and men who traffic in them.

number % were seriously injured,
while practically none escaped un-

Many of the injured are in a pre-
carious condition. 1t was predicted
by physicians who are attending
them that the death list probably
viii reach fifty.
Three of the cars that were
hurled over the embankment were
submerged in the waters of the
Spanish river which is filled with
ice. Divers were sent to the scene
of the wreck. They will explore the
sunken coaches but it is not proba-
BILE that they can complete their

Harmon was hailed into Judge Fra

of failing to support his family. It
developed from the courts question
ing that active eXertion had a very
depressing effect upon Harmon,
which was aggravated by the psy-
chic waves which various unknown
persons had projected toward him.
Mrs. Harmon as in court, and she
told Judge Frater that she took no.
stock in the psychic phenomena, but
though it was undeniable that her
husband became strangely stiff every

that there is no meat trust in Cali

at this season of the year, he said,

tion of the packers with the presen-
tation of a long account of data
gathered by himself and his assist
ants. That the government intends
a vigorous and hard fought cam
paign is believed to be shown by the
fact that civil proceedure has for
the time been made secondary to
the criminal,
Sims has scores of witnesses; he
has been working secretly for
months, and it is upon their testi-
mony that Sims expects to secure
indictments of the leading packers.
Swift & Company, Armour &
Company, Nelson, Morris & Co.,
names standing for nearly
everything in the packing world
are designated as concerns which
must undergo a federal probing.
The National Packing company, re-
puted to be the incorporated name
for the beef trust" will also be in
vestigated.
The meat barons connected with
the foregoing companies will be re-
quired to show the connection, if
any, of their companies with the Ma
tional Packing company and also be
required to show whether or not
any combination has been formed
among themselves for the purpose
of maintaining extortionate prices,
Prosecutor Sims promises that
prosecutions will move forward rap
idly. 1t is intimated that the gov
ernment win profit by mistakes
made during the former campaign
against the packers, when many of
them escaped through immunity.
That time many were hailed be-
fore the inqusitorial body and
questioned closely regarding their
reported connection with a so-called
'meat trust" Later at their trials
many claimed immunity on the
ground that they had been forced in
the grand jury rooms to testify
themselves.
To avoid this, 1t is said that the
government will disclose only
enough of it's case to the grand jury
to warrant the bringing of indict-
ments. Heavy broadsldes of evil
dence will be reserved for the trials
proper that are expected to follow
the grand iury's action. Secondar-
lily, it is probable that the govern
ment will begin suits for dissolu-
tion of the National Packing COM
pany. This action, it is intimated,
may not wait upon the outcome of
the criminal prosecution, but may
be taken after the criminal proceed
ure is well under way.

Leroy Hough, vice president Of
the Western Meat company, corro-
borated James statements. He de-
clared that prices in the city have
not exceeded a normal figure, more
than in any other Pacific Coast city.
"The people of the city are to be
pgratulated that they are not be-
charged exhorbitant prices for
Hough said. "The reason
y are not is because there is no
combination here among the whole
salers. Because of the existing
keen competition, meat costs &c per
pound less here, on an average than
it does in Los Angeles, Tacoma,
San Diego, Portland or Seattle.
There is a marked scarcity of
livestock on the Coast this year, and
many smaller cities have secured
portions of the supply that should
go to the larger centers. Expense
of feeding Cattle at this time of year
is high, and that contributes to the
