this traffic. These officials are closely
in touch with conditions in the COM
munittes to which they are assigned
and with the police forces of those
communities. Secretly all these are set
on the track of the white slave dealers.
Movement World Wide
For the movement against these
dealers Is more thoroughly organized
as 1904 the countries of Europe COM
bined to aid one another in suppress
sion of the traffic in women. In 1905
the United States became a party to
this agreement. Because of it the
United States has right to call upon
any of the parties to the agreement
for whatever assistance they are able
to give. This practically places the
police forces of Europe at the disposal
of the United States. All these are to
be called upon by the representatives
of this country in It's fight against the
traffic Probably there has never been
a more far reaching and concerted
movement against an abuse since the
government first began doing business
than is just now being carried out
against the white slave movement.
The fight has been carried on sporad-
ically in different communities for
number of years. New York had its
grand jury investigate the move
ment last spring, with the son of John
D. Rockefeller as It's foreman. In it's
report this grand jury said:
1T appears from the indictments
found by US and from the testimony
of witnesses, that trafficking in the
bodies of women does exist, and is car
ried on by individuals acting for their
own individual benefit, and that these
persons are known to each other and

Country Is Aroused

Then there is the immigration COM
mission, appointed by congress. and
which has devoted years in a svste-
matte study OF the white slave. traffic.
This commission knows very thor
oughly just what the traffic is. It's
report to the last session of congress
had the effect of arousing the whole
country TO the atrocities that are go
ing on where the SLAYER preys upon
the ignorance ana helplessness of for
elgn women. The facts being in hand,
the department Of justice is able to
proceed to its task intelligently.
But the brunt of the work is to be-
placed upon the bureau of investiga-
tion OF the department of justice. the
newly organized secret service. This
bureau maintains the greatest detec-
tive force that has ever been gotter
together in this government. Its
agents are quiet. incisive, inconspicu-

an additional $4,000. 1t was SHOWN
that these people had Waxed so wealthy
in the traffic that they were not In
convenienced in thus forfeiting nearly
a hundred thousand dollars. The sleuths
of the government have found that this
degenerate couple are now located In
France, and there plying their old busi-
ness.
These Investigations in separate COM
munities have had little effect on the
country as a whole. Such an investtga--
tfon, even where it is carried so far as a
prosecution of the culprits and a driv-
ing of them out OF the given commun-
ity. does not result in a permanent
cleansing OF even that community, for
with changing adminlstration the vigi-
lance will be relaxed and the abuses
will steal back. For there IS goodly
supply of the merchandise In adjoining
cities.
But these campaigns have been edu-
cational and have been largely re-
spOnsible for the present movement on
the part of the general government 70

The federal authorities have deter
mined for instance. that there is an
organization that is nation wide that
deals in women. Tt is active in New
York, Chicago. Omaha. Denver. San
Francisco, Los Angeles. Seattle, Nome.
1t operates as a syndicate There Is
no formal incorporation. Nothing Is
put into writing. There Is merely a
community of interest that causes IL to
hold together. II Is the most difficult
kind Of organization TO get at, for its
existence can not be shown by docE-
mentary evidence. It's business Is car

nection.. It works silently and Sc
cretly.

Price List for Girls

1t Is known, however, that prices are
quoted on girls. and that these prices
prevail quite generally. The American
girl is the cheapest. because she Is the
most difficult to keep in subjugation
and most dangerous because OF the pos
sibility OF her talking and OF calling
the police IN her behalf. She brings
but $50 or 500. Girls from Europe are
sold at prices ranging from $40O to
$1,000. Next to American girls these
are easiest procured and easiest got
ten into the country. Next comes the
japanese girl. who Is worth $500 to
$500. The laws against the admis-
sion OF Japanese are more strict than
those against the people OF Europe.
and prices are. OF course. determined
by supply and demand. The highest
priced OF all the white slaves are the
Chinese women. II IS especially diff
cult to get a Chinese woman into the
country, and her price is correspond
ingly high, often being $4,000 or s., 900.
On the Pacific coast the traffic Is
largely In Japanese and Chinese
women. The manner in which these
women are gotten into the COUNT is
interesting because OF its mixing up OF
immigration law and oriental marriage
custom Under the law. for instance.

Japanese Proxy Marriages
The Japanese system Is to marry a
girl In the native country to a councrs-
man in the United States. Absent mar
riage is recognized institution IN
Japan. The contracting parties ordi-
narily do not see each other until after
the ceremony is performed AMI either
the bride or groom may be represented
py proxy. So a white SLAYER having a
confederate in this country merely
narrtes the proposed slave to him by
proxy and assigns her 10 him as his
wife. She is therefore entitled TO en-
try. The immigration authorities have
insisted on a marriage in accordance
with our customs upon the arrival M

usually agrees TO this, but It does not
necessarily prevent the sale OF the

Here, again, the federal government
IS calling in the aid of another of Its
departments, for there is resource back

thoroughly determined to crush out an
undesirable blot on its good name. The

n being concentrated in great
moral purpose, that Of freeing
from bondage the 100000 white slaves
within his domain. The federal de-
partments are uniting In a concen-
trated effort to do away with that or
ganizstion. which It has found to be
nation wide. and which fattens and
simple womenfolk, who are as helpless
IN its nav as is the bird in the tolls
OF the snake that has charmed it.
The department of justice is the
fountain source of this campaign Of ex-
termination. Attorney General Wick
ersham has assigned the youngest of
his immediate assistants, William r.
Harr. to the task of putting the white
slavers out of business. Mr.. Harr has
called in Stanley W. Finch, the head of
the secret service Of the department.
Of justice. Bfr. Finch has sent forth
the word to the 300 sleuths that are
scattered here and there throughout
the country. These have gotten in
touch with the 500 district attorneys
stationed in the various sections. The
district attorneys have enlisted an
equal number Of United States mar
shals. These, in turn, are closely in
touch with the various police forces.
The combination is TO spread a net that
viii include every city and town in the
United States.
The department OF justice has gotten
IN touch with the department of COM
merce and labor, which has charge of
the inlmi grafton service. This service
is more familiar with the pitfalls that
surround the girl immi grant than is
any other organization. It has made
an exhaustive study reaching through
years Of the methods Of the introducers
OF the white slaves. It has had the
difficult task Of putting Up the bars
against the Introduction OF women who
are not desirable. 1t has labored with
the task Of keeping tab on foreign
women and deporting them when they

ers, either Willingly or unwillinglv

quite naturally the girl later awakes
10 the iaisity of all the details of the
picture. She finds herself in a strange
land, of which she knows nothing Of

is frightened by her surroundings and

SleuthS Sent Abroad

But the bureau of investigation has
assigned corps of its cleverest men to
another end of the task which is yet
more interesting. These have gone
abroad to spy' upon the sources of the
white slave traffic. It is known that
the traffickers have certain representa-
tives who are constantly sent abroad
for recruits. These men are usually
semi-Americans, men familiar with the
language and customs of this coun-
try and Of those countries in Europe
from which they get their recruits.
They go to Paris, to Rome, sto Berlin,
TO Vienna. There they play the role of
the man who has grown wealthy in
America. The simple folk of Europe
look upon America as the land of gold.
This impression is enhanced by the
stories of the dealers representative.
He selects from the girls whom he
meets in the cafes, In the shops, on the
street, those that he intends to make
his victims. His selections are made
because of unusual beauty and attract
iyeness. for these qualities make a girl
salable. In one way or another he
makes the ecQaintance of the girl He

Agents of the grand jury further
went to various places where it had
been alleged that white slaves We're
for sale, and actually succeeded in pur-
chasing four of them. For two of them
SEQ each was paid, and for two others
$40 each was the price given. These
were American girls. who had been
procured in much less expensive way
than that followed by importers. Amer
lean girls are much less desirable as
slaves, however. for they are familiar
with the language and conditions Of
the country and are therefore more diff
ficu1t to keep IN bondage.

Fortunes Made Selling Women

In Chicago the white slave traffic has
been more thoroughly investigated than
elsewhere. and there conditions have
been found most revolving. There was
the case Of Alphonse and Eva Dufaur, a
Frenchman and his wife. who had long
been importing women from France
and profiting hugely in the process.
The books OF these people were seized,
and it was found that for the year
previous to their arrest they had
cleared $4,000 in the traffic. They
gave bond for their appearance for
trial but forfeited the bond instead 1t

Several of the young ladies' of the
village are making arrangements for
holding an ice cream festival on the
park Wednesday evening, August 8 for
the benefit of the Middlebury band.
On that night the band is scheduled to
give another of their excellent concerts,
which will add interest to the occasion.
The members of the band have done
much hard, conscientious work during
the year and, as a result, we have
been favored with some extra good
outdoor concerts.
Most of this work has been done, on
the part of individual members of our
musical organization, without pecuniary
recompense and it is only just that the
citizens of Middlebury, and others who
listen to the music every week, give
liberal patronage to the festival which
is to be held.

The Gym nasium Fund.

In the last number of the Middle.

completed. Unfortunately that is not
true. What happened is this: On
Commencement day, the time limit fix

ward to guarantee So, 500, bringing the
total to $50,0O0 which Governor Nc
Cullough had intimated would be suffi-
cient to bind his pledge Of $4,000. 1t
was announced, therefore, that the Col
lege is sure of $5O,OOO, and that the
danger of losing Governor McCullough' s
gift had been avoided. There is still
$40, 900 to be secured on the $50, 900 fund
for the Gymnasium as originally pro-
posed"

//John Kelsey of Salisbury, aged 25,
years, was badly injured last Saturday
night by being run over by heavily
loaded wagon. Kelsey was driving to
Salisbury from this place on one of the
construction wagons of the New Eng
land Telephone and Telegraph Co.,
when in some way he was thrown from
the load to the g"ound, the wagon
passing over his abdoman. The horses
ran to the home of Samuel Kelley and
an immediate search disclosed Mr.. Kel-
sey by the road in an unconscious con-
dition. He was taken to the home of
Mr.. Kelley, and it was thought for some
time that his injuries would prove fatal,
but at this writing hopes are entertained
for his recovery.
