 We shall be glad to recommend to the legislature this whole matter. with q special recommendation to in- vestigate and adopt such measures as will stamp out the white slave traffic. r appeals at once to every one as 2 traffic that no human being should be engaged in, said the governor
 Lieut.. Governor O'dara was the chief speaker for the nlinois delega- ton and declared he wished to cor rect the impression that the commis- sion sought to refect upon the purity of Americas working women but de sired to hnl out whence came the victims of white slavery and to take all means to stop the trafhe.
 Lieut. Gov O'Hara said the com mission desired to remove the men. aces surrounding girls who have to earn their living and that they are entitled 10 food. clothing. bed to sleen in, shelter and reasonable amount of amusement.
 "lt these are not provided he de- clared, the time will come whea they will be demanded and radicalism might prevail in government"
 In addition to white slavery said Mr. O'Hara the commission has found it essential to considers the question Of wages in relation to vice and other menaces such as songs which ten years ago would not have been coun- tenanced and now are tolerated in homes obscene dances. segregation in public schools and domestic ser vice The average domestic in a fam fly employing one girl has no place to entertain company except in the kitchen and 1t might be well 10 studs that problem while there is probably ground for regulation of certain fea- lures of theatrical performances and for study of the love of dress and finery"
 State Senator Juul Of Illinois, said the state should have the right to say that girls shall receive wages to en- able them to live properly and resist temptations and that if 1t does not act 1t will be driven to 1t. This sub iect, he added is one which should be taken up now, both from stand point of duty and to avert future con. ditions which might become danger ous'

There was a little stums, and he Ieaned against this, took his automatic 3S- calibre pistol from his pocket, and fired a bullet into his right temple

E 0. Peck, general superintendent of the Cotton Belt railroad, who came to Hot Springs in his private car almost month ago, and who aad been missing from his hotei since March l2, shot and killed him self in the woods a mile north oi the city
 The body was found by party oi the innumerable searchers about Q o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 That it was suicide was made positive in every circumstance sur rounding the case. Peck dad wander ed far away into the woods, found 2 little pine thicket, sat down near stump, fired a bullet from his own pistol into his right temple, and hia head had fallen back across tho stump.
 All his effects were intact. Tle pistol was at his right side just as II lad fallen. The clothing of the man was undisturbed. The diamond ring Elk emblems, were just as he wore them. In his pockets were ais money, his many raiifoad passes, HIS papers. and everything that he haa when he left the Rockafellow hotel on March l2 and gone out into the woods to end his fife,
 III health was the cause of the sui eide MT. Peck had been robust and healthy man. He was more than six feet tall and of that big type not accustomed to sickness. Some months ago he began to show signs of breaking, and that worried him The worry grew on him and he cant to Hot Springs in his private car. sent the car back and evidently aad planned to remain here for some time.
 The finding of the body of Mir Peck answers one of the most anusual mysteries that had shadowed the city in years. Within two days after MT Peck had not been seen about nls hotel Dr. ]. w. Smith, his physi- clan, notified relatives in Pine BluTf. Leo Peck. son came here, and instl' tuted search. It was carried on se- cretly for awhile under the impress sion that probably MT. Peck had gone away somewhere, and would turn up after awhile, and that no uns necessary sensation might be offer cd in his case.
 When after few days search nothing could be found of him, the Incident was given to the press De- teetiges, local and from railroads, worked on the case. They found that Mir. Peck had most likely not left the city. The conductors and rail road crews all knew him personally, and none had seen him on outgoisg trains
 Auditing officers of the railroads reported that his passes had not been used recently. Taen the detec lives worked on the theory that lie Was still here, and they searched ev- erywhere.
 The long creek arch under the city was gone through the mountains and valleys were searched over, aEd me road houses and resorts were visited, but no man answering the description had in any Of them.
 Then it became apparent that Mir Peck had killed himself or been kill. eu and the latter was. unlikely. be cause ne did not have any large sum ot money on him. and there wae lit lie likiihood that he would have heen selected as the man to try 10 lure Ahlo the country tn harm.
