WHITE SLAVE ACT UPHELD
Assistant Attorney General
Harris Argument Against
Plea of Jack Johnson.

Declaring that Congress has the con-
to act, to protect persons as well as cat
tie, Assistant Attorney General Harr, for
the government yesterday asked the Su-
preme Court of the United States to up
hold the constitutionality of the so-called
white slave traffic act
In his brief the assistant attorney gem
eral quoted the decision of the Supreme
Court upholding the constitutionality Of
the law which prohibits the shipment in
interstate commerce of diseased cattle
and provides other safeguards for the
care and handling of live stock in COM
merce between the states.
Cites an Instance.
Twill it be said,' the assistant attorney
general asked that Congress, if it
chooses to act, cannot protect the people
of the several states against the introduce
ton of women and girls for the purpose
of debauchery? Will it be said that the
law affords greater security for cattle
than it does for human beings"
The case before the court is one aris-
ing out of the attempt. on the part Of
attorneys for Jack Johnson. the cOlored
pugilist, to have the Mann white slave
act declared unconstitutional, which
would serve as bar to the further prose-
cution of Johnson on charges arising
out of his recent sensational escapadeS in
Chicago.

Obtains Good Picture.

Frederick Sanberg, photographer and
department, yesterday obtained a splen-

tied to the tracks. when he went to G.
Thomas Williams undertaking establish
ment at Waterbury. Md. The photog-
rapher found the remains of the victim
in a box in a wagon at the undertaking
establishment, Sheriff Beasley having
given orders that burial should not take
place until the undertaken received in
structions from him.
Photographer Sanberg found that the
head had been severed from the body and
the back portion OF the skull torn away
He considered it remarkable that although
the head had been hurled many feet there
was not a scratch about the face
Typical German Face.
TT is a typical German face" remarked
the photographer this morning.
1t is the belief of the photographer that
the man was tied to the track alive and
not that he was murdered and his body
placed there to hide evidence Of crime The
fact that there was great quantity Of
blood on the tracks for a long distance
the photographer says. suggests that
death was caused by the train.
People residing in the vicinity of Oden-
ton and Naval Academy Junction. more
than two miles from where the affair
happened, are displaying an active inter-
est in the Investigations. Groups of men
were seated about the stores last night
discussing the affair, and they are unable
to understand how such a crime could
have been committed without some of the
parties to 1t having attracted attention.
