WHITE SLAVERS
IN COUNTY JAIL
Two Women Held Under Bond of
$1,000 Each For Enticing Young
Girl to Cairo For immoral
Purposes.

In Police Magistrate Collins
court yesterday morning, the two
women Mabel Stevens and Make
Moore of 212 Thirteentp street, were
placed under bonds of $1,000 each for
their appearance in court next Satur-
day % at which time a preliminary
herring will be given these alleged
white slave trafficers, their case be-
ing continued by motion of their
attorney NJ J O'Shea.
The women were unable to give
bond and both were taken to the
county jail The charge is enticing
a girl under Is years of age from her
home at Union City. Tenn, TO Cairo
for immoral purposes.
r. l.. Malpas and wife the parents
Of the girl. came to Cairo yesterday
and took the girl homewith them,
The girl was taken to the chillren's
home for protection Friday night
and the parents were taken there
yesterday by Chief Egan to get their
| daughter. The girl had never been
away from home alone and her
mysterious disappearance last We'd
nesday caused much anxiety to the
family.
The brother of the girl came di.
rect to Cairo in searching for his
sister. Instead of getting the helr
of the police, he made the search
alone. In his rounds he went to the
Stevens house on Thirteenth street
making inquiries there and was told
there was no such person there. II
is supposed the knowledge that some
one was looking for the girl caused
the Stevens woman to try to get
the girl away from the house which
attemp was made when the police
caught on that some thing was
wrong. &sn ti
The girl tells a straightforward
story of her experience with the tive
women, and there seems little doubt
that the case will 80 hard with thu
women. The penalty for the offenst
such as is charged against the alleg.
ed PROGRESSES is very heavy.

PAIGN MATERIAL
HEARING ASKED AT ONCE
Letters Pour Into President Taft's
Office Uttering Confidence in
The Pure Food Expert.

Washington, July 15---Believing
that the Wiley case will develop
fine campaign material for 1912, the
Democratic members of the House
Committee on Expenditures in the
Department Of Agriculture today
held a meeting to canvass the situ-
alton. They held an executive ses-
sion at ! O'Clock and later called in
their Republican colleagues.
Bright and early this morning
Representative Moss Of Indiana,
chairman Of the committee, called at
the Department Of Agriculture and
ey. Representative Moss declined to
had q long conference with DR.. Will
make any comment on this interview
1t Is the purpose of the committee
he sad, to begin the inquiry into the
Wiley affair without delay, and Dr..
Wiley will be the first witness called
Representative Richardson of ala
bama, who, as Democratic membef
of the Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee, had great deal
to do with the preparation Of pure
food legislation, was emphatic in the
criticism Of the Agricultural Depart
ment and of the attacks on DR.. Wiley
Il am well acquainted with the
recent charges made against DR.. Will
ey." said Mr. Richardson, "and am
not surprised, because, associated as
| have been with DR.. Wiley in the
performance of my duties as a mem
bcr of the Interstate and Foreign
Commission during the Fifty-siXth,
Fifty-seventh, Fifty-eighth and Fif-
ty. ninth congresses, when the pure
food law was in the making. j be-
came aware of a spirit Of hostility
toward him, which was frequently
manifested by certain officials of the
Agricultural Department.
81 was aware DR. Wiley has made
mistakes, such as all men make more
or less, but there is one thing that
can be said about him, and no man
can deny it--that he has been abso-
lutely faithful and true in the en-
fQrcement of the pure food law ac-
cording to the purpose and spirit Of
Congress.
That is one Democrats view of the
case. Others are hopeful that some
thing sensational may develope
which will split the administration
wide open or cause more of contro-
versy than the Pinchot-Ballinge
controversy. In this the insurgents
who are trying to dscredit the ad-
ministration are joining.
Letters and kilograms expressing
confidence in DR.. Wiley and urging
President Taft to consider most care
fully the charges made against him
came pouring into the White House
from all over the country.
Many of the messages were from
commercial organizations, others
from personal friends Of the presi-
dent and of DR.. Wiley, and still 9TH
ers of organizations especially inter-
ested in Dr. Wiley's work
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
said he personally had little to do
with the Wiley case. He said, how
ever, that the personnel board which
recommended Wiley's resignation
was permanent board, such as ex-
| lists in most government departments
| and that it had not acted hurriedly
and it's conclusion had been reached
after hearings.

this period have been $191 ,666. It IS to be understood that this is entirely additional to the moneys applicable to. the road work which come from the virtually is an additional appropria- tion for this territory, amounted this year to $271 ,8S0.
 In commenting on this year s esti mates today, Governor Clark said:
 t'Ever since I have known anything about conditions in Alaska I have found as much reason as anybody else to complain of the general neglect of this territory by past congresses, but 1t is only fair to say that while many things have been neglected few oth- CTS have been generously dealt with. and on the whole the legislative branch of the government cannot be accused of any lack of liberality towards this territory. It IS surprisingly common subject of remark that Alaska contri- butes much more to the federal treas ury in the way of taxes than is ex- pended by the government in the terri tory. The fact is that congress has ev cry year since the territory was ac- quired expended more public money in Alaska than has been derived from Alaska; and for the last several years the expenditures have been from four to six times as much as the re- ecipts from all sources in Alaska"
The Alaska sourdough., 1911-12-26

This year $ estimates for fishery reg ulation are $4O0O in excess of last. year; for education of natives, $48,o0O, larg- CT: and for aids to navigation, $55, 5,000 larger. On the other hand, it was es- timated that the Improvements of the telegraph system would cost $24,0O0 les than last year, and the work of mark ing the Alaska boundary $50,000 less. Also, no separate estimate was made for land surveys this year (although no appropriation of $5O,O0O was made for this purpose last year) but general appropriation of $45O,OOo will be appli- cable, in part, to the work. of survey ing lands in Alaska
 It is highly probable that the appro- rriations actually made by Congress at the present session will be largely in excess of the aggregate amount es timated above. For example, no esti- mate is. included for a. special appro- priation for work on roads and trails in addition to the, moneys derived from the Alaska fund, although it is quite probable that Congress will appropri- ate supplemental amount, as has been done every year since the road com; mission was established, and for which the average yearly appropriations. for
