TO PROSECUTE CASES


Attorney General McReynolds yester-
day denied he had issued instructions to
James C. Sullivan, the special counsel
in charge of the prosecution Of the
Caminetti-Diggs white slave case, in San
Francisco, not to bring the case to trial.
It had been reported yesterday that
Mr.. McKeynolds had interpreted the
Mann white slave act as not applying
to cases where the defendants did not
share the profits Of the white slave
traffic, and had instructed all United
States district attorneys to keep this
Interpretation in mind in seeking indict-
ments under the Mann act
In reference to this report. this state
ment was issued at the Department OF
Justice:
These statements are wholly incorrect
and misleading. No construction has
been placed by the Attorney General or
by the Department of Justice upon the
white slave trafnc act which will inter-
fere with the prosecution of the Can't
netti-Diggs cases. Those cases are set
for trial. and the department confidently
expects that they will be tried on August
8. They are in the hands of eminent
special counsel, who have been directed
to proceed without delay.
'.As to the second statement, no gen.
eral instructions nave been issued TO
United States attorneys as to the en-
forcement of the white slave traffic act,
or as to the construction to be given It.
In the enforcement OF the act the gen.
eral policy established curing the pre-
vious administration has been adhered
