horses and a spring wagon loaded
with bottled beer at the Spokane
Barns, near Front avenue and Ber-

asked that the horses be fed, say
ing that he would return In a
couple of hours to settle the bill
and take them away. That was a
week ago last Friday afternoon
and nothing has been heard of him
since. Foul play is suspected.
The spring wagon contained
about two barrels of Gilt Top"

NEW YORK, May 5.-District
Attorney Whitman's entire staff Is
today preparing raids on stockades
where "white slaves" are kept on
exhibition for purchasers.
That these stockades exist, where
women are kept to be sold to keep
ers of resorts, is part Of the start
sIng revelations made by Harry
levinson, confessed white SLAYER.
Three men and three women have
been named as keepers of the stock
ades and Levinson has furnished
the district attorney with specific
information as to their location
-nd the manner in which the
stockades are operated.
A number of arrests have been
planned, and before night it is eX-
pected that the machinery of the
district attorneys office will have
been put in motion and that the
raids will be under way.
Edward Carpet, Levinson's at
tOrncy, admits that his client has
not yet told all he knows about the
traffic.
The arrests planned when the
full story has been told will include
not only the men and women en-
gagged in the sale of young girls for
immoral purposes, but will also

ARE
BLAMED FOR
ESCAPE
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, May 5.-Instructing
their Iieutenants to sell resorts for
whatever they can get, white
sIavers are scurrying for covevr to-
day. Most Of the leaders In the
traffic, It is alleged, have escaped.
Some Of them have gone to Europe,
some to Canada, and some to South
America, according to information
which has come to District Attor-
ney Whitman.
The police are blamed for the es-
cape. 1t is said that the officers,
not realizing the opportunity to
round up the slavers and crush the
traffic, failed to close the avenues
of escape until it was too late to
stop the frightened slavers.
Today detectives returned six
warrants on information furnished
by Levinson and informed the dis
trict attorney that the persons
wanted had fled.
The district attorney realizing
that if the crusade is to be effective
the other dealers in women must be
apprehended at once, is urging his
force to make the arrests as quick
ly as possible.

"PEACE BY FORCE" SAYS
T. r. TO PEACE MEN,.

1t would be a master stroke
If those great powers, honestly
bent on peace, would form a
League of Peace, not only to
keep peace among themselves,
but to prevent, BY FORCE, IF
NECESSARY, it's being broken
by others. The combination
might at first be only to secure
peace within certain definite
limits and certain definite con-
ditions; but the ruler or the
statesman who should bring
about such a combination would
have earned his place in his
tory for all time and his title
to the gratitude of all mankind.

SPOKANE WOMEN VOTING FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE

or vote of the people. Men and
women, being the people, and
having to abide by the rules of gov.
ernment, should have equal voice OF
vote in the making Of its rules.
"The women Of today are taking
their places side by side with men
in the field of industry. They are
owning and controlling capital.
Much more of our legislation is af.
fecting or grows out of industry
than any other one cause; therefore
the people, be they man or woman,
should have a voice or vote in tho
rules that control the means by
which they live. Women are told
they should not vote because they
could not be a soldier and go to
war. The time is passed when even
man is judged by the number Of
scalps which hang from his belt.
Women are told also that all do not
want the vote. Wait till you all
clamor for it. then l will give It
unto you.' man chidingly says. All
do not care for music. Yet, would
we deprive those who love it and
make the world better by being
given the privilege. All do not care
for education. Yet, would we take
away the influence Of those who do
persevere along different lines Of
education and make this a better
and safer world. All do not care
for art or sculpture. Yet, who would
dare say, All do not care for IL.
Take 1t away: let no one enjoy its
refining influence
Therefore, because so many
women lack the energy or interest
they should have in government
(the most vital Of any of our institu-
tions) would 1t be right or just or
fair to withhold from those who
would and are putting forth their
| best efforts to make this world OF
ours better place to live in"

Does every woman in Spokane
believe that their sex should have
the right to vote at all elections?
If the crosses on The Press bal
lots are any criterion, this answer
would be answered emphatically
In the affirmative. OF a desk
drawerful of ballots received in the
contest, as it might be called, not
one ballot has been marked no"
But this simply means that the
supporters of equal suffrage are
rallying to it's cause, like the we'll
organized army they are. They
want to show Congressman Poin-
dexter and the whole august and
statesman-like bunch at Washing
ton that the women of Spokane
want and are going to get the
right to vote.
Now, of course, there are heaps
and heaps of women who think
that the men ought to do the vot-
ing, and the women ought to at
tend solely to the household. But
how are they going to make this
opinion continue to rule, if they
don't express their stand? Let's
hear from both sides On the big
question, and find out just what the
women of Spokane think. Either
bring or mail your ballots to the
suffrage editor. The Spokane Press.
Two prominent suffraget leaders
expressed themselves on the mat
ter today as follows:
Mrs. d. G.. Coates:
Women should have the ballot
because they have as much inter-
est as men in controlling the gov
ernment. Women are taxed as
heavily, and therefore should have
a voice and be an actor in real
life, instead of spectator"
