WAR ON WHITE sLAVERs.

Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin:
Evidence uncovered by the detec-
tives probing the murder of Jennie
Cavalierf, who was taken out for
an automobile ride by a party Of
four men and shot to death by one
of them, Joseph Buonomo, near
Stratford, Connecticut, points to
what long has been believed to exist
"a nationwide organization OF
~retches engaged in the white slave
traffic, which maintains surveillan-
ces over its victims wherever they
go. and Furnishes with injury or
death those who reveal its secrets.
The eayalier girl appears to
have been in communication with
individuals active In the anti-yice
movement in Chicago. The discoy-
cry of this caused word to be sent
to Buonomo, and three others In diff
ferent cities, to see to it that the
Cavalieri girl SHOULD not be enabled
to carry on her plan of assisting the

anti-vice crusade. A decoy letter
discovered in the lace reticle that
was found with her body revealed
that she had been lured to the place
in Bridgeport where she met the
party of men whom she accompan-
led to her death.
The murderer told several con-
flicting stories, one Of which, to the
effect that he was intoxicated and
quarreled with the woman in the
automobile, shooting her under the
influence OF sudden rage and hardly
knowing what he was doing, seems
to have been agreed upon by him
when he was in the cell in which he
was placed with two of his compan-
ions. The conversation in which
he undertook to furnish this account
of the affair to the authorities was
heard by a detective in an adjoin-
ing cell who has placed himself near
the party in the expectation OF
gaining information that would aid
in working up the case.
It is a startling suggestion that
word could be transmitted from
Chicago to the East which would
result in the organization of muir
der party and the foul doing away
with witness to crime conditions
in Chicago. There Is in this an un:
canny parallel to the manner in
which Rosenthal was slain in New
York. The orders for Rosenthal's
murder, however, was given by a
principal or principals near the
scene OF the tragedy, not dispatched
nearly half way across the conti-
nent. ..a.
It is high time that there
should be far-reaching organization
in the interest OF law and order
when murderous organizations for
the protection of vice and crime are
acting on such a scale. Since the
enactment Of the Mann statute and
the enlistment of the forces under
the direction Of the federal depart
ment of Justice In the war against
white slavry, that vile traffic has
become dangerous to its perpetra-
tors in a degree that was formerly
unknown. Each new prosecution
crowned with success gives encouT-
agement for further efforts on the
part Of those engaged in mastering
the secrets of the villainous traffic
and bringing the wretches engaged
in II to justice.
