SAY Rockefeller
Will NOT SOLVE
SLAVE PROBLEM
Rescue Workers Predict Failure in
Crusade Against Shameful Traffic
in Girls Because Victims
Will Not Talk.
"Woman's Love Keeps White Slave
Traffic Alive" Is Contention of
Well-Known Authority.
BY w. a. SHEPHERD.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1O.-John d
Rockefeller, Jr. has been appointed
foreman Of the Kings-co. grand jury
ordered to sift the infamous white
slave traffic.
Can the power OF the house o
Rockefeller uncover evidence to sent
the men higher up in this national
shame TO the fate they deserve?
Men and women who have given
years to work among the unfortunate
victims OF the 'cadet system" appre.
ciate the monument task of young
Rockefeller. Many predict that his un
dertakings will come to nothing, be-
cause the victims seldom talk. And
because they know the girls upon
whom they prey will not talk, the New
York cadets" laugh In their sleeve al
investigation.
To get an idea of the work young
Rockefeller is attempting l talked to
two of the most famous women rescue
workers in the United States.
Women are SO constituted that
they. never. tell. said. Miss Margaret
Luther, Bowery sentinel of the Flor
'ence Crittenden mission. And unless
they do tell how can the grand jury
secure evidence to convict the men
who trade upon their virtue?
In the years have spent in this
work have questioned not less than
$4,000 girls, and do not know to this
day why they refuse to give evidence
If they would talk. the conviction OF
the cadets. and the smashing OF the
system, would be easy.
II have had girls point out men to
whom they gave money. but when
called a policeman to arrest the men.
the girls refused TO testify.
Two instances of this incompre-
henaible attitude are typical. We
had beautiful. frail little girl who
for three weeks was locked in a room

who had kept her In shameful i'm
prisonment, ran away. leaving the
door locked, and II neighbors had not
found the girl she would have died.
We kent her In hospital month,
a,sd twlep able she returned to ths
Pf5an.
Another girl was terribly beaten
by her angry youthful master. and
after two months In a hospital re-
turned to him"
"Women's love keeps the white
slave traffic alive. II stands to pro-
tect the men who debase this love and
the law" said Mrs. F. M. Freeman.
THE traffic extends into every city
In the United States and Canada. II
has lines leading to Europe, and Mr..
Rockefeller's task is to expose the
headquarters, which are I'm New York.
IF he unearths the system every
woman who has studied the problem
will be surprised. Effective evidence
can be had only from the women vic
tins, and they will not testify.
Every one OF these girls actually
believes the man who debases her
loves her and her alone. No matter
how brutally he treats her. he has but
to assure her occasionally that he
loves her and she will do his bidding.
Longing for love fills the breast OF
every woman. and these girls. realiz-

I'm a number of cases at rapidly

grams, 162 special delivery letters.

that have been proposed recently
make it seem probable that the new
railroad. along which II Is proposed
to locate factories, will be a mile or
more outside the city limits until It
crosses Grand River-ave. This will
have a wonderful influence in enlarg-
ing the growth of the city and dis
tributing the population over a wider

RISES TO FAME AS ARTIST
DURING TERM IN PRISON
Young Germans Work viii BE Put In
Chicago Parks-jalled For
HurIInq Vase.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.--When Paul
|Suto entered the bridewell six months
, ago he found the art department IN
Idepiornbly low condition. The former
prisoners had left no creative work
worth mentioning.
Suto is German artist OF some dis
Itinction, and that was the first thing
he noticed on entering the bridwsll
in conformance with sentence passed
upon him seven months ago for throw
ing a stein filled with beer at a waiter
In the Bismarck restaurant.
few days ago he was dismissed,
having elevated the tone OF this de-
partment to something analogous 20
that of the Art institute and leaving
q lasting monument to himself. For
mer prisoners with hand for art had
been put to tho work OF designing
crude vases for lawns and parks.
Paul was put TO this same work. and
he designed a model so favorably criti-
cised by the best artists that the In
stitution had him make six handsome
vases OF stone from 1t. to place In the
parks. II is. furthermore, advertising
the fact that additional vases may be
secured from the same model for $40
apiece.
Paul had been In our country but 4
short time when he took exception 20
the American method of serving din
ners, Just as he took exception to most
Of our attempts at art. Being unaware
OF our more conservative methods OK
attempting reforms In walters, he
sought an instantaneous Improvement
by the simple method of hurting at
him the most destructive thing at
hand, which happened to be his stein
of beer-all of which he sacrificed TO
the cause. The waiter resented the
foreigners mthods, with tn above men-
toned results.
Paul did not take his catastrophe
lightly. Although his newly found
American friends pointed out to him
the humor OF the situation, he could
not see II. He felt permanently dis
graced. Wishing to retrieve himself
from ignominy, he set about to pro-
.duce something really notable In the
way OF art Those who. know say
that while he always gave promise he
never fully realized himself until this
calamity came upon him. and that now

Lancaster Teller: The city alderman
came pretty near raising 81 mill road
tax at the May meeting Tuesday eve

and before that it was even lower.
When the matter came up Tuesday
Alderman Treloar made strong fight
to have 81 mill tax raised. He told of
the manner in which the money so
raised could beused to good advantage.
An informal vote was taken to find out
how many favored the raise, and at
first the aldermen were evenly divided
on the question. Later Alderman
Rhodes changed his mind and the tax
was levied at 2 mills.

WHAT WEAK KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong. and Healthy.


All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, disor-
ders of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drowsi-
ness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kidneys.
Chas. Goldsworthy, retired, living on
Hoard St., Mineral Point, Wis, says
II have been practically unfit to do any
work for over five years as a result of
kidney trouble and rheumatism. Dur
ing the past five months Twas troubled
by retention of the kidney secretions,
accompanied by dull pains in my back.
I tried a great many remedies but did
not receive relief from any of them and
when my attention was drawn to
Doan's Kidney Pills, I went to Ivey's
Pharmacy and procured box. I have
had but little pain since using this
