foundering abo.t in the water twenty
feet from the end Of the pier.
The chauffeur called to his employer

Washington. Aug. 6.-Far more than
the fate of the defendants in the Can't
netti-Diggs case is involved in the case
about TO he tried in California, according
10 officials of the Department OF Justice.
Two important questions affecting the
constitutionality OF the Mann white
slave" law will be settled by the outcome
In their opinion.
Does the Mann white slave law apply 70
individual instances Of immoral conduct
If II can be shown, as is contended oy
counsel for the defendants. that there was
no purpose on their part TO profit com
mercially by the alleged abduction of the
two girls. are they amenaole TO punish
ment under the law?
II has been asserted by Mr.. Mann and
others familiar with the law that II ap-
plies to every instance where female Is
conducted across d state line for an I'M
moral purpose and her expenses paid by
her conductor, so that. FOR instance d
man who took a female from New YORK

and paid her fare across the North River
would be amenable 20 the law and sub

Of Justice the law forbids and prescrioes

II this construction is upheld by the
courts. IT is asked. how is the contention
that the statute exceeds the power OF
the federal government and is an inter
ference with the police power OF the

federal government TO regulate COM

asmuch as individual acts OF immortality.

not commerce. wherein Hes the right
Of the federal government TO prohibit
them and prescribe penalties therefor
In view OF the wealth and position OF
the defendants In this particular case 1t
is confidently expected that II Will be
carried TO the highest court in the land
for final adjudication and, therefore. that
the question Of constitutionalty involved
in the Law will be finally determined by
the Supreme Court of the United states.
