tory that the mass meetings should be
held, the statute only stating that "a

opinion, therefore. there is no statutory
provision authorizing the county COM

ion."

Robbed of White Slave
Papers

Cleveland, o.. Dec. ll.-Search is
being made here today for two men
believed to be members of the New
York poison needle gang" who are
alleged to have attacked George Bak-
er. Of New York. said to be- a United
States immigration inspector, and
robbed him of valuable government
papers while he was under the in
fiuence of a drug.
Every effort was being made to
keep the affair quiet today and Baker
himself could not be fourd. Officials.
however. would not deny that Baker
had been attacked and robbed.
The victim. who is said to have
been conducting a white slave inves-
tigion, was walking in Lakeside
avenue yesterday when he was sud
denly taken i'll. Two men who had
evidently been following him rushed
forward and carried him into a hos
pital. While physicians were reviving
Baker his friends" picked up his
handbag and fed. Government papers,
supposed to be reports on white slave
conditions in this city, we're in the

That Baker himself was a victim of
the needle is thought possible. Doc
tors admitted that a drug injected into
