Such is the statement made by Prof. Dan iels, who is featuring on this sub ject. There are something's so far removed from the lives of normal, decent people as to be almost un- believeable by them, and the whiie slave traffic is one of these incred- ible things. The calmest, simplest statements of the facts is almost be- syond comprehension, and sometimes doubted by men and women who are mercifully spared from contract with the dark and hideous secrets of the underworld. In the city of Chi cago every year five thousand of
 these unfortunate girls pay the pen alty with their lives. Prof. Daniels will levture today at the Gem.
