I spoclal to The Times Dispatch.

Washington. July 2S.-Reports from
the Department OF Justice Indicate that
under tho inierpreta ton placed on the
Mann white slave act by Attorncy-Gen-
eral McReynoids, tho Caminctti- Diggs
white slave cases IN California may not
be brought to prosecution
IT Is understood that the Attorney
General has Issued directions 10 all the
United Sta-cs attorneys That no prose-
cutions be brought under the Mann act
except those In y hich the defendant is
shown % lie shGring ia the profits Of
the white slave traffic.
Commenting upon the report that At
torney-Gencral McReynolds has inter
vretcd the Mann white slave law not to
be applicable TO the facts in the
Caminctti Diggs case, Representative
Kahn. Of san Francisco. said tonight:
II this is the attitude OF the Attor-
ney-General. it is the first thing he
mas done in the open in these cases.
With the assumption OF this position.
the people of this country will have an
opportunity TO judge the Department
Of Justice in clear light. and on a sin
gle issue which cannot be cloudcd by
tactics such as We're used in explain
ing the continuance OF the Caminetti-
Digs cases"
CONGRESSMAN Curry, of Sacramento.
tho city where Caminetti and Diggs
reside. said:
IF the reports OF the Attorney Cen
erals position are correct. it is an out
rage. The Attorney General should
not have tho power to check indict-
ments in this way The facts in tho
case should go before the court, which
alone should apply the law as 1t fits
the evidence produced.
II understand recent decision OF
the United States Supreme Court. which
upheld tho constitutionality of the
Mann white slave act. laid down very
broad latitude for this class of crime.
and ii seems 20 me that with the be-
ginning of the operation of the act, IL
IS the duty of the Attorney General
to prosecute any case which involves
Interstate Illicit relationships. The in
depreciation of the law is for the courts.
