Moose pefeated c. M. A.

Riverside fans were treated to the
most interesting Sunday afternoons
ball game OF the year yesterday when
the Moose defeated the c. NJ. A. team
OF Newark by score of $ 10 2. The
locals lead OF three runs might give
the impression that they had COM
paratively easy time winning. A box
score would disprove this, however. as
the Moose were scoreless when they
began their half OF the sixth inning.
Taylor pitched very good bali In spite
OF several spurts OF wildness. In the
plnches he was master OF the situa'
tion.
The visitors scored In the opening
session, They scored again in the
second inning but that was their las,

WANTS HELP IN SAVING GIRLS.
ACTING GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS
PLANS GREAT CDUSADE
Addresses Appeal to Executives and
Legislatures i'm Other States to Get
White Slave Information.

Springfield, H., March 6-After
studying report of investigators OF
the state senate white slave com
mission asserting that more than So
600 women in Chicago earn IS a week
or less, acting Gov. Barrett O'Hara
tonight asked cooperation of the gov
ernors and legislatures in each of the
AZ other States in the anti-white slave
traffic crusade of which he is the
head in Illinois.
Mr. OHara in this connection sent
the following letter to the governors
of the other States
During the first session Of q COM
mission consisting of four senators
with the lieutenant governor acting
as chairman to investigate white slave
traffic in Illinois, testimony of relia-
BILE witnesses indicated that much Of
this despicable traffic is interstate
and it was found that existing in
Chicago rings worked hand in hand
with similar rings in all Of the other
States. In spite of the rigid atten-
ton given to the Mann act it has not
been possible to do away with this
trade, it seems, and of course the
present commission in Illinois is
working toward the abolition of this
evil within the State through effec-
tive legislation backed by as strong
popular sentiment. Our commission
will be in existence for two years and
each Of the senator's as we'll as my
self will give to this hubject prac-
tically all of the time not demanded
by his regular official duties.
1T has seemed to us that the
most feasible way Of breaking up the
interstate rings would be to have
in each State a commission similar
to our own.
Naturally the Illinois commission
can do nothing without information
In regard to white slavery in other
States, but were there a commission
in your State we could and would
invite members of your commission
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.
II would be glad to have your
cooperation in this matter and should
appreciate statement of opinion
from you at your earliest conven-
ience."
