Stanley w. Finch, for twenty years an
attorney and official in the Department of
Justice. makes this startling statement
to a representative of the New York
World
Mr.. Finch, since George w. Wicker
sham has been Attorney General. has
been Chief Of the Bureau Of Investigation
of the Department of Justice. Last
May Mr.. Wickersham. in recognition of
Mr. Finch's achievements in tracking
down cadets" ''procurers." and chiefs
of the white slave traffic and sending
them to the penitentiary, designated Mr.
Finch Special Commissioner for the Sup
preston of the White Slave Traffic. That
is what Mr.. Finch is now doing. Except
in a supervisory way he has temporarily
relinquished the duties of Chief of the
Bureau of Investigation and is now de-
voting his entire time to his new duties.
He says that if Congress will give him
the money he will in a year suppress,
barring an occasional isolated case, all
the white slave traffic in the United
States. And Wickersham says that
Finch will do what he says.
When Mr.. Finch made the statement
above quoted he qualified it by saying
that IL was a conservative estimate.
Has Existed forS 1000 Years.
White slave traffic. in Some form or
other has existed for 5000 years." said
Mr.. Finch. In Europe it has been car
ried on with fluctuating success for 3.0O0
in xxy{t, wi,
but ever growing success for 100 years.
Desire for fortune and easy living
On the part of the dealers and the sus-
ceptibility of young girls to fraud and
deceit, are the causes, directly. for the
startling growth of the traffic in the
United States, Mr.. Finch said.
so easy is the living to be made out
of white slave traffic that constituencies
crooks of all kinds in the country have
turned to trafficking in young girls" he
said. so great has been the domestic
traffic in women in the last few years
that to-day scattered throughout the
United. States there are, conservatively
estimated. no less than 250,0Oo women liv-
ing a life of shame In semi-public or
officially tolerated places of disrepute.'
And yet you can suppress white slave
traflc in a year. How much money will
il take?"
"One million dollars will suppress it.
and for s250,00o a year it can be kept
suppressed" Mr.. Finch replied. The
way Congress appropriates now and my
inability to use other funds it will take
longer. OF course, perhaps four or five
years"

at askance and somewhat resentfuily Al
first by some who were not smart, soon

than ever. Then the resentfulness wore
of: those who were not smart observed
that the smart came time after time In
the hours set apart for women. or for
women and men together; those who
were not smart saw that the smart were
coming to swim, not to swagger. A
camaraderfe de mer was created; water
washed out social lines: man In the
swimming stage was primitive, highly
gregarious. Sputterings and puffings and
snortings and sneezings were instructive
appeals and responses of sympathy.
Came in Parties.
So the smart folks who came early in
the morning got to have much company.
They left before 3 o'clock in the morning
as a rule, but before they left the num-
bers at the beach had reached hundreds.
Woman bathers usually came in parties.
sometimes with men included. But par
ties frequently intermingied with other
parties. and there were brief but de-
lightfully informal assemblages of float
ing persons who were here and now
seeing more OF each other than ever be-
fore.

Beach by women was a notable develop
ment of this season. More than ever be-
fore swan in its waters. The graceful
and useful art of swimming was taught
to many. Their progress was wonder
full. and some remarkably fine swimmers
were trained at the beach this season.
The lessons were valuable not only to
women who live in Washington summer
and winter. but TO many who spend the

be called, at Newport or Bar Harbor or

The Municipal Bathing Beach closed
yesterday after a season OF nearly eight
weeks, $1,000 persons having enjoyed It's
freshening, strengthening waters.
Fifty thousand persons, in crowds
wherein mingled the social elect. the
political elect. the statesmen. scholars,
civil service clerks, laborers, artisans.
with their wives, daughters, and sweet
hearts, have entered the long pool
gracefully diving. boldly tumbling, tim
idly wading. and have disported them
selves therein like so many leviathans,
as variant in grace and strength as IN
disposition and physical conformation.
1t has been a remarkable bathing
beach season. 1t has afforded unusual
incidents. High society in silk togs
swan in the free baths with good So
ciety In something sensible in the way
Of clothing, and with people who work
too hard and continuously to be in So
ciety at all.
Season Made Notable.
OF the fifty thousand persons, in fact,
those who came from the Congressional
and other firmly established sets of the
Capital have made the season notable
not only in Washington, but elsewhere.
While members of Congress- working
through long, hot summer session.
have declined TO advance the bathing
beach to even greater degrees of use
fulness, colleagues and their families
have been disporting themselves in the
cooling water, developing new muscles,
keeping old ones supple, and otherwise
maintaining themselves in ''it' condi-
ton. Members of the army and navy
set, the Cabinet circle, of the old
Washington and Georgetown families.
and of the rich families who spend
month or two in the Capital, have made

is-for-nothing resort of the busy poor.
the happy playground of the idle rich.

There were two causes of these accl-
dents-or Incidents
One was inability to swim. the other
cramps. Cramps is no respecter OF per-
sons: II will single out and double up
anybody-high or low, rich or poor. So
cramps is not regarded as a fault Of the
bathing beach. Inability to swim Is
not a fault of the bathing beach, but d
fault that the bathing beach is ersdicat-
ing.
The pool is seven feet in its deepest
part and the human amphibians who
have developed only their land faculties
have plenty of shallow water in which
to become accustomed TO the other ele-
ment In which amphibians may live and
move and have their being. How many
human amphibians were taught to swim
The Washington herald., 1912-09-22

this season cannot be estimated. because
many Of those who came to the pools.
perhaps a majority, already knew the
art. But 4; is easy to calculate that very
few persons ATTENDED the beach this
summer without learning to swim.
The bathing beach will be closed next
Sunday, September p, after very short
season. There hasn't been money enough.
The appropriation for the season was
only $4,000, and S200 Cf this had TO be
spent for repairs. Salaries of the super
intendent, the guards. and attendants
were paid with the remainder.
Perhaps IL more Representatives use
the bathing beach they will vote larger
appropriations for IT. OF course. that's
only theory. but Their may be some
thing in it.

These fashionables made an impression
on the bathing beach. because they real
ly came there towel, of course, not ex-
actly to bathe-but to swim, dive, and do
whatever else of aquatic activity they
were competent to do.
1t was not altogether a fad with them
they wanted to swim. True, they tried
during certain periods Of the day. but
when they were denied this privilege
they cheerfully went in with every
body.
Came Early in Morning.
They came early In the morning, their
smart automobiles flashing through the
dew-sparkling streets and avenues and
parks. and their equally smart swimming
clothes-generally they wore these from
home. foregoing the use of the bathing
beach dressing rooms-making little
streaks of color through the blush mists
OF early morn. They were smart folks
their automobiles. big touring cars and
neat electrics governed by matrons and
misses, and sedate but fashionable car
riages and cabs; their clothes; their
manners; their names. all these incl
dentals proved them smart.
The smartness made a new place of

Thinks Somebody
Has Been Joking

Sporting Editor Star: In last Sat
urday's sport news in the Star, there
appeared an article which I believe
was intended to boost this years
Trans Pacific yacht race. Such an iu-
tent is certainly a laudable one, but
the tone of the article was such as to
have a Numerically opposite result
so far as the Honolulu public is con-
erned.
The information it contained was
second hand at best, and untrue in
nearly every particular.
The sporting spirit lacking" lies
not with the "junketeers,' but with
those who do not go and see for them
selves, and instead, take secondhand
"dopey" dope at par, and hand it out
TO the hundreds of small contribu-
tors, to her building fund whose only
chance of getting a run for their
money, so to speak," lies in reading
of her doings as chronicled in the To-
cal dailies"
Yesterdays Advertiser rehashed the
same story, so that we may expect to
see "the dear public" break it's neck
in coming to the front, and also a vol
unteer crew
I doubt very much if even Captain
Wilder (Jamie) and his brave boy
scouts would take a chance on the
firing line of the Honolulu Reportorial
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-30

Brigade, if they persist I'm publishing
such rank pipe-dreams, and then let
themselves down gently when, they
find out their mistake.
The Hawaii has been hauled out
twice a year for cleaning and paint
ing, and last year Commodore Cruzier
and his crew neglected the Charlotte
.C. in their efforts to keep the Hawaii
tidy and ship-shape.
Up to date, and from the first con-
CeptiOn of the Hawaii no one,--or two
Imen for that matter-have worked as
hard, as faithfully and as steadfastly
as Charlie Wilder and it is a matter
of personal knowledge that the money
he has expended on the up-keep of
the yacht is no small amount.
1t seems to me that the dozen or so
Hawaii enthusiasts have done very
good work, considering that the Ha-
waii is near-public property, and that
the yacht club has insufficient funds
to keep a man aboard at all times.
If the kickers think that they can
do better, come in by all means; the
game is good, the water is fine and
they will assuredly be received with
open arms, but for the sake of the
cleanest of all sports, let us cut out
sarcasm and "rapping," and get oul
things together for the coming race
