chicago, IN an address Def0re tne inter
national Purity Congress, which closed
here last night. Mr. Roe is the presi-
dent of the American Bureau of Moral
Education and was appointed dele
gate to the congress by Secretary of
State Bryan, by authority of joint
resolution of the federal congress.
The subject of Mr. Roe's address was
"White Slavery and the Best Methods
Of Dealing With the Evil
New Methods in Vogue.
"The term white slavery has broad.
ened greatly in recent years. he said.
In the past efforts to deal with the
social evil problem were largely regu-
lative. Within the last seven years
new method of dealing with it has been
adopted. A scientific study has brought
about the adoption of the attitude of
constant repression, as the immediate
method, and absolute suppression of
commercialized vice as the ultimate
ideal.
"Neglect by parents in bringing up
their daughters is big factor in the
making of white slaves. Mother are
often too busy attending clubs, thea
ters and card parties to find time to
spend on their children. Fathers have
keener interest in their properties
than they have for the welfare Of their
daughters. They let their children grow
up like weeds in the prairie, to care
for and look after themselves.
Many Causes Enumerated.
"Girls who are brought up under
such influences are easy prey for the
white slave procurers."
Among the causes Of white slavery
enumerated were:
Ignorance on the part Of the public,
the parents and the children.
Double standard Of morals.
Hasty marriages and divorces
Love of fine. clothes and suggestive
fashions.
The spirit Of adventure and romance.
Discussing some Of the economic
cases, he gave the following;
The deferring of marriage because
men cannot afford to marry.
Competition Of girls and women who
do not need to work and help lower
wages. Wages are regulated by supply
and demand
Employment of young girls who prac-
tically lose the home care and training
Of mothers.
The absolute elimination Of the vice
districts and a single standard Of NOR.

REPORT SUBMITTED
ON JAIL DELIVERY
Weatherly Recommends Two
Night Watchmen
REPRIMANDS GIVEN
Finds Also That Too Much Latitude
Was Allowed Negro "Trusty"
on Inside of the
Jail
REPRIMANDS GIVEN

As to the jail delivery at the city
prison several days ago, Commissioner
James Weatherly furnished his asso-
eiates formal report yesterday. His
letter indicates that severe repri-
mand' has been given the two custod-
lans while the real reason for the Gus
todians' failure to exercise more care
was their feeling that the prison was
escape proof"
Mr.. Weatherly recommends that the
two night officials be retained in the
service and that necessary repairs be
made to the windows which will tend
to prevent repetition of the delivery.
The report of Mr. Weatherly fol-
lows:
ITO the Honorable Board of Commission
ers, City of Biriningham:
"Gentlemen:--Re. Jail delivery from
Avenue f jail on the night of January
2S, 1913.
II attach hereto report made to me by
Street Commissioner Gafford, together
with the list of men who escaped, with
the dates of their conviction and expira-
tion of their sentences.
srrhis escape was effected by the saw
ing of one of the upright bars Of the
bath room window almost In two, and
using a heavy piece of lead pipe to break
it apart; after which another bar was
priced out of the socket with tho same
lead pipe. thus making very narrow
passage way 10 feet from the floor,
through which 16 men made their escape,
by using as step concrete partition
that happened TO be built just below this
window. The bar was sawed, apparently
with a hack saw, and both this saw and
the piece of lead pipe were the effective
means by which this escape WAS made.

brought to Hibbing a story of battle
between a big antlered deer and pack
of wolves on the ice of Gandsey Lake
While on the edge of the lake, Davis
saw a big buck break from cover and
run on the ice, closely followed by three
wolves. The buck wheeled and gave bat
tie to the pack, who, after charging him
couple of times seated themselves some
distance away.
The buck was badly winded and had
evidently been chased for some time He
would occasionally rally and charge the
animals, however. Mr.. Davis could not
help but admire his pluck, and so took
a hand himself. He had a shotgun, and
one shot from 1t sent the pack to cover.

close before he tossed his head and ran

REVENUE Gutter
SERVICE BREAKS
PREVIOUS RECORDS
Many Deeds of Heroism Are
Included in the Annual
Report of Captain
BerthOlf

Washington, February 1.-THE United
States revenue cutter service, the Red
Cross of the sea, broke all It's previous
heroic and humanitarian records during
the fiscal year 1912. Thousands of human
lives and hundreds Of tempest tossed ves-
sells, valued with their cargoes at nearly
81 100000, were saved from the perils of
storm swept seas by the little cutters
which guard the coast line of the United
States in an unbroken line from Maine to
Texas and from Alaska to California, ner-
vously alert for the rs. o. s."
The annual report of Capt. f. P Ber-
tholf. commandant of the service, made
public today. is a recitation of thrilling
adventure of this army of the federal
government, older than the American
navy. A total of 2eO distressed vessels
We're assisted during the year and their
burden, 22l2 souls, rescued from danger,
which in many cases seemed impending
death One hundred and six persons were
actually saved from drowning.
Tales of Suffering
Revenue cutters on the Pacific coast
penetrating the frigid waters of Alaska,
brought back tales of suffering among
the natives of the Aleutian Islands, in the
grasp of poverty and disease, creating
conditions, 1t is declared, demanding the
attention and action of the federal gov
ernment.
Vessels, eargoes and derelicts saved by
the revenue cutter service during the year
were valued at $10,71,74s. Forty-five dere-
licts and other dangerous distractions to
navigation We're removed or destroyed.
For every dollar the government in
vested in the maintenance of the revenue
cutter SERVICE" says Captain Berthof,
there has been a return of $4.36 in the
form of property saved from the perils
of the sea. and this in addition to lives
saved and other beneficial acts performed
in the interests of mankind. To accom-
plish this work there have been % cruis-
ing cutters and is harbor vessels and
launches actively employed during the
year.
1.-THE fiscal year 1912 was probably one
of the most trying periods to shipping of
any year during the past quarter of CEN
tury. Frequent gales swept the Atlantic
and Gulf Coasts, while during the winter
months the unusually low temperatures
caused great danger to shipping and ac-
tual suffering to the crews on account
of the ice conditions. even as far south as
Chesapeake bay. These conditions re-
suited in almost constant calls for the as
sistance of revenue cutters. None were
unheeded. In consequence, the benei-

Unusual Incidents
Among other unusual incidents, Captain
Bertholf told of how .'plratical native
wreckers' swarmed down upon the Ham
american steamer Prinz Joachim
when, with large party of American
tourists aboard, including William j..
Bryan, she stranded at Atwood Cay, Ba-
hama Islands, November %, 1911. After
the passengers had been removed, these
pirates" said Captain Bertholf, became
lnsolent and aggressive and at the re-
quest OF the master of the Prinz Joachim
the revenue cutter Algonquin, with guns
manned, stood guard over the steamer
and armed her crew. One of the pirates
struck box included in the steamers
cargo, containing some explosive. and
was blown into eternity. This scared the
others away.
Captain p. f. Foley, who commanded
the Berlng sea patrol, reported that the
vrechedness Of the people of the Aleutian
Islands, growing greater year by year,
Will continue to increase until the gov
ernment does something for them or they
are wiped out of existence by disease
and starvation. The best means of res
cuing the people, he said, would be TO
concentrate them In one settlement,
probably Unalaska, where, under govern
ment supervision, at small expense, they
might have sanitary homes, be taught
cleanliness, thrift and Industry, given
schools for their children, and cured OF
the insidious diseases which are making
physical wrecks of them.
Recommend Appropriations
Appropriations for four new revenue
cutters are urgently recommended by
Captain Bertholf; three to replace the
limo
old and unserviceable, and one to replace
the Perry, lost in the Bering sea during
the summer of 1910. He declares that
the wireless apparatus now on all sea
going revenue cutters should be replaced
by the most modern mechanism OBTAIN
able and constant radio watch should
be maintained. The current appropria-
ton, he points out, permits only Two
wireless operators on each cutter, and
three are necessary for continuous serv-
ice
The functions of the revenue cutter
service have grown since its establish
ment in 1790-123 years ago-until today
they include variety OF activities rang
ing from the assistance of vessels in dis
tress and the enforcement of customs and
navigation laws to the suppression OF
mutinies Two mutinies were quelled by
the cutters during last year-one on the
Raitien gunboat Ferrier in Charleston,
S c., harbor and the other on the Uru-
guayan bark Brema in Mobile bay
Smuggling has decreased in recent
years, Captain Bertholf declares, be-
cause of the vigilant patrol of the rev.
enue cutters. This armed coast guard is
a deterrent and without is smuggling
would again spring into existence along
the many miles of coast line of the
United States.
Captain Bertholf asks that Congress re-
lieve the revenue cutter service of the
