THEIR SHAME TO AID THE
PROSECUTOR

Los Angeles, April 21-The name
of Al girls, all under 2l years of age
and most Of them not yet past Is, wer
given to the county grand jury toda,
day when it was asked to inyestlgat
white slavery charges in which
number of millionaires are said tt
have lured girls Systematically from
home and placed them in a protect
ed resort.
Affidavits of four of these firls al
ready have been obtained, and ac
eording to the allegations contained
in their sworn declarations, the mil
lionaires Investigated had a complete
organization for the trapping OF girls
There were cadets. in their employ
and a well known attorney, who, be
sides being involved in the actual en-,
shaving of the girls, also is alleged to
have spirited away one of the young
women who revealed the alleged facts

ened with prosecution for attempted
blackmail.

ed by the procurers from the depart
ment stores, cafeterias and restaur-

BIG PANAMA DITCH

Washington, April 21.-When the
American fleet sails for the Mediter.
ranean in January it will be nearly
twice the muzzle energy Of the famous
battle fleet sent around the world in
1907 by former President Roosevelt,
and OF half again as great tonnage.
The schedule and ports Of call have
not been worked out yet in the navy
department and it merely has been
announced that the big fleet would
tour Of the MEDITERRANEAN in divisions.
1t was the original plan, in connec-
ton with the opening of the Panama
canal, to have the fleet pass through
from the Atlantic to the Pacific about
January /, the tentative date Of the
opening.
This practically is disarranged, but
it was pointed out today that from the
Mediterranean 1t is comparatively a
short voyage through the Suez canal
and into the Pacific and the fleet
could return that way, making the pas
sage thfoueh the canal from the Pa

Comparing these ships with the

example Of the advance in the navy's

The Camfield irrigation projec
upon the Las Vegas land grant is t.
be completed.
Lloyd Sigler, vice president AMI
general manager of the Nationa
Trust and Savings company of Sail
Lake City, late Saturday afternoon
signed a contract for the construction
OF the partially-built system.
His company expects to begin in
the immediate future the completion
Of the dam, which has been lying in
a half-finished state for the past Is
months, since the death of F. H.
Pierce, contractor and trustee. 1t is
the intention to have the reservoir
filled and begin the irrigation of the
tract of land lying near it EARLY in
the summer Of 1914.
The contract was signed with one
restriction, that being that the Ma
tional Trust and Savings company
shall not be obligated to go on with
the work unless the owners Of a tract
of land containing approximately A.
500 acres, lying within the territory
which the irrigation system will COW
er, shall agree to purchase water with
which to farm their lands.
The National Trust and Savings
company, in payment for the CON
struction of the irrigation system, is
to receive 5000 acres Of grant land
irrigable from the big dam. This,
with the $500 acres belonging to pri-
vate interests, will make an irrigabie
tract of $4,000 acres. The engineers
Of the National Trust and Savings
company they reported that the pro-
ject is capable of irrigating 10000
acres during even the driest Of years.
This is a guarantee that any persons
who purchase land under the project
or who agree to purchase water to
irrigate lands already held by them,
will be assured of plenty Of water.
The Salt Lake City corporation has
announced. through Mr.. Sigler, that it
will make most reasonable terms
with persons desiring to purchase
water The price will be $50 per
acre for perpetual water rights. Pay
ments will be allowed to cover a per
iod of ten years and the rate Of in
terest will be six per cent No pay
ments will be demanded during the
first five years.
