u. S. Supreme Court Declares
White Slave Law o.

Washington, D. c., February a.
In an important decision handed down
today, the United States supreme
court afirmatively decided the consti-
tutionality of the identical principle
set down in the Webb interstate COM
merce bill.
On the theory that traffic in women in
interstate commerce may be regulated
by legislation as we'll as the traffic in
drugs, foods or cattle, the court up
held the validity of the federal white
slave traffic act of 1910.
1t had been contended that this
question of morality was reserved for
action by the states.
Justice McKenna delivered the
courts opinion.
"Our dual form of government has
its perplexities," said he, "state and
nation having different spheres of jur-
isdiction, but it must be kept in mind
that we are one people, and the pow
ers reserved to the states and those
conferred in the nation are adopted to
be exercised, whether independently
or concurrently, to promote the gen
eral welfare, material and moral.
"This is the effect of the decisions,
and surely, if the facility of interstate
transportation can be taken away
from the generalization of lotteries,
the debasement of obscene literature,
the conragion of diseased cattle or per-
sons, the impurity of food and drugs,
the like facility can be taken away
from the systematic debauchery of
women and girls"
The court had several cases in which
the constitutionality of the act was
attacked, but made its decision on the
case of Effie Hoke, of Beaumont, Tex
as and Basle Economics, New
Orleans saloonkeeper, sentenced to
six years each for illegal transporta-
ton of women from New Orleans to
Beaumont. Their conviction was at
hrmed
Other convictions affirmed were
Louis Athanasaw and Mitchell Samp-
son, operating the Imperial Theater at
Tampa, Fla, and Emma Harris and
Bessie Green, of Cincinnati All are
under varying sentences for violation
of the law.
The Jack Johnson case did not fig
use in the decision, as it previously
had been disposed of.
The principle inv olved ir this COLI
troversy is the same as is involved i'll
the Webb bill which prohibits the in
terstate shipment of liquors for un-
lawful ,,,,roocae

BANKING COMMUNITY NOW
READY TO ACCEPT SALIENT
PARTS OF BILL.
NOT BELIEVED ANY BANK WILL
GIVE UP NATIONAL CHARTER
AS THREATENED.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Passage OF
the currency bill in Washington finds
the local banking community, which
was nome too kindly disposed toward
the measure in Its inclpient stage,
more or less reddy to accept the sa-
liant features Of the bill. Changes
which the new law must inevitably
bring, have been taken note Of re-
Gently and II is not thought that
any national bank Of Importance will
carry out the threat so often heard
a few weeks age, to relinqulsh its
federal charter and operate under a
state charter instead.
In fact the president OF large
Wall street bank said today that all
of the SO national banks of this city
could be depended upon to enter the
new banking system as soon us the
law took effect. As the currency bill
in It's latest form has overcome many
Of tire objections voiced by promi-
nent financiers, 1t seems to be the
opinion of financial quarters today
that the privileges the nationally
chartered institutions would retain
together with the prestige conceded
to attach to national institutions
would outweigh with most Of any re-
naming objections they might have
to the new law. Moreover were na-=
tfonal banks to yield their charters
they would have to return to the
government the reserve moneys now
held by them and retire their cir
cuIation against their holding Of
government bonds.

1t to know that the public serv-
ice commission OF West Virgin

is vested with the power to reg
ulate RAILROAD schedules within
the boundaries Of the common
wealth. and likewise to force
the railroads to make such
schedules as will conform with
the points beyond her boundar-

The commission takes the
stand that the language Of the
law is sufficiently broad to give
this body absolute power in the
matter of forcing the railroad
companies 10 give the public a
just and adequate travelling
service, both with branch lines
of small railroads, and with all
connecting railroad lines.
The commission proposes to

FARMER HAS TO WEAR

WlNSTED. Conn, Dec. 90.
Misses Jennie and Alice Case
and their mother conduct a
dairy farm In North Canton

place. Frank StOddard of
West Simbury bought COW
from them. 1t was dark when
he led his purchase to his farm.
Next morning when StOddard
went out to milk, the new COW
stared at him, boIted, jumped d
stone wall and disappeared.
Stoddard recalled that, the
Case sisters had milked the
same COW for several years
without difficulty. Then the
thought came to him that men
never worked around the cows
on the Case farm. He returned
to the house, put on clothes of
his wife and sought the COW.
At Sight of the pclticoats she
became docile and permitted
herself to be mIlked.
Il kind of admire the way
that COW sticks to her old hab-
its." said StOddard today, but
hope this skirt habit doesn't
grow on me.
