ANTI-WHITE SLAVE l TRAFFIC CRUSADE
INVESTIGATION SHOWS THAT 5o,- 900 CHICAGO WOMEN EARN
 ONLY $5 A WEEK.

Springfield, H., March 6.-After studying report of investigators of
 the state senate white slave" com
 mission, asserting that more than 50,-
 900 women in Chicago earn $5 a week
 or less, acting Governor Barrett
 U'Hara tonight asked cooperation of
 the governors and legislatures in
 each of the Az states states in the
 anti-whte slave traffic crusade, of
 which he Is the head in Illinois. Mir. OiI1ara in this connection sent
 the following letter to the governors
 of the other states
 During tae first sessions of a com
 mission consisting of four senators, with the lieutenant governor acting as chairman to investigate the
 white slave" traffic in Illinois, tes- timony of reliable witnesses indicat- ed that much of this despicable traf flee is interstate and it was found
 that rings existing in Chicago worked Ihand-in-aand with similar rings in all Of the other states. In spite of the rigid attention given to the Mann acl it has not been possible to do away "fth tliiS lidut, IL SeeNlS, ana or course, the present commission in illinois is working soward the abo{- ition of this evil within the state through effective legislation backed by a strong popular sentiment. O,c- commission will be in existence for Cwo years and each of the senators as we'll as myself will give to this sub Ject practically all of the time not demanded by his regular official dul ties.
 It has seemed to us the most feas ible way of breaking up the inter state rings would be to have in each state a commission similar to our own. Naturally, the Ininois commis- sion can do nothing with it's informa- tion in. regard to white slavery fn other states, bat were there a com mission in your state. we could ana would invite members of your com mission to sit with us and in turn we should hope to be present at some of your sessions. In this way it seems to me we would get to the very root of this problem.
 T should be glad to have your CO., operation in this matter and should appreciate statement of opinion from you at your earliest conyen- fence"

Arrangements Have Been Made for q Conference Between the President and chas. F .Murphey, Lead
 CT of Tammany Hall.

Washington. March 6.--President Wilson saw most of the phases that
 go with the presidency; receiving con gratulations of some of the kings
 and emperors of the world and replied
 to them: talked with several men
 mentioned repeatedly for diplomatic posts; shook hands with 930 East Room visitors; was consulted aboai the legislative program of the demo- cratic congress and suited Ihis action to his word by declining to inter- est himself ill patronage matters un- til one of his official family had been seen.
 The day lacked some of the rush of yesterday, but it was busy enough
 to keep the president on the jump
 most of the time and to force Secre-
 tary Humility to spend many crowded minutes out in the corridors Of the executive offices disposing of callers
 at rapid fire rate
 The president quit work promptly tat i o'clock and went for an automo- bile ride with Mrs. Wilson. Tonight he saw Wm. +. MeCombs, chairman of the democratic national committee and Joseph F. Davies, its secretary. Both men have figured prominently as possible diplomatic appointees.
 They were closeted with the presi- dent in the Waite House proper. NIT. MvCombs arrived first and stayed
 but short time and MT Davies did not appear until after the White House dinner was over.
 Mir. McCombs said he had not dis
 cussed the matter of accepting the ambassadorship to France. His first visit eoncernea questions of pa tronage. Intimate friends of Mir. i McCombs say he has not yet decided whether to accept or decline the of fer for a foreign post. He has been consulting his friends, some of whom
 have advised him against reIinquish- ing the ohairmanship of the demo-
 cratic national committee. His nealtn, however, requires q trip, ana whether or not he takes the prefer
 red position, he will soon leave for
 Eurone.
 Chairman McCombs left here at
 midnight tonight for New York. His friends who talked vita him in the
 evening were ali agreed that MT McCombs would decline the ambassa- dorship to France offered him by President Wilson and retain the
 chairmansIhip of the democratic nat

FARMERS HAVE NO

HARVESTER TRUST SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN THE LEAST OF
 THEIR TROUBLES.

Omaha. Neb., March 6,-Two farm. CTS were called to testify today Tor the defense in the suit of the govern ment against the International liar vester company, charged with violat- ing the Sherman antitrust law by Illegal restraint of trade.
 The government has contended that harvesting implements composed half of the machinery required by a farm CT. These two men, both well-to-do gave figures to show that harvesting machinery represented only three tenths or the value of their farm ma chinery. Geo, Swanson testified he owned 1000 arces of land, 500 acres under cultivation. He valued his farm implements at $3,S50. of which amount harvesting implements repre. sentcd s7So. His testimony also brought out something about the high cost of flying. He said he had been receiving for the last two years about double the price of ten years ago for what he sold, while prices for what he bought had advanced insigr- ihcantly and in many cases had de clined.
 w., D. Howell who farms five hun dred acres, gave figures showing simi. lar proportions.
 Hugh McCarger created stir when he said he was opposed to the trust.
 fo teii tine truth, he testified. i tried to beat the trust and stuck to the independent mes as long as any were left"

 Demands.

Epaso. Tex, March G,--With the ex-rebels of Chihuahua declaring neu- trality toward the Sonora revolt. the situation in the western border state today awaited the entrance of federal troops.

The former rebel commander-in-chief has receiv- ed no request from the provisional president to take the field against the Sonora state troops. as report. ed yesterday. It was said such a re- quest would meet with refusal by nearly 1,500 troops under Orozco's control.
 Orozco again made clear his stand toward the provisional government at Mexico City, declaring he only ac- cepts Huerta in event that the land grant promises of the Madero reyolu- tion will be kept. Orozco reiterates his promises tkat he will keep his forces in indefinite armistice.
 It also is denied that any demand has been made on the Huerta party for large sums of money with which to recompense the northern rebels for their struggle against Madero. If Col. Cordova, Orozcos emissary to Mexico City, mode such a demand, it was unauthorized, Orozco says.
