MINIMUM WAGE
 SHOULD BE S8 Peoria Merchants Testify Before Illinois White
 Slave Committee.
AN AMERICAN SHUT ECONOMIC
Resort keeper Says Nine of Ten Fall. en Women the iesnit of
 "StHryati"n" Wages.

Peoria, H., March l5.-The state senatorial white slave commission. headed by d4ieutenant Governor O'Iiara. heard evidence from local store merchants, manufacturers and girls from the under world here to- day. taking testimony on both sides of the question as to whether or not low wages is the cause of the downfall of girls.
 Mir. Eugene Cohen. assistant super irtendent of the Peoria State Hospital at Bartonville, gave interesting testi- mony as to what in his opinion was the real cause of vice among women.
 Georgia Hall, keeper of a resort, stated that she had been a keeper of a house of ill fame for the past P years. She declared that nine out of every ten cases of fallen girls which had come under her personal observa- tion were directly traceable to Starvation wages. She then quail fled her statement by saying that in almost every instance in which she had known the girl had been driven from their homes by adverse or un- desirable circumstances when they were ,co young and inexperienced tC command living wage.
 Several local employers of girls and women testified Among these were ". E. Persons, of the l4arkir , Company, Edward Heidrich, of the Peoria Cordage Company Henry Block, president of Schipper an6 Block dry goods; Carl Block, secretary of the same firm, and Frank Young manager of the Independent Five anC Ten Cent store.
 Henry Block favored a minimum | wage of $S with provision for ap prentices, as have all other merchan witnesses, and believed it would eventually arrive, but that the publi. should maintain commercial schools l in which the girls could be helped un til they are capable of earning a living wage in business.

 Many of the Zapista followers are jail-brds who have been liberated from prison in one way CT another in the past two years and they are afraid that they will be thrown into prison again, even though they surrender un- der the general amnesty agreement, for this covers only political crimes. It is felt that these men, who num- Der many hundreds of the most dar- ing and fearless men under Zapata, will have to be hunted down and eX- terminated, a process which will take many months, as the country is Wild and mountainous At present the gov ernment is unable to spare enough l troops from the Sonora campaign tC get after the Zapistas.

Baltimore Manufactures
Best Straw Hat in Country

From a Chicago authority comes
the information that forty million

in this country annually. This
means a volume of business in this
industry amounting to $50, 0O0,O 600.
What is more interesting is that
Baltimore makes about the best

Chicago, which does a hat bust
ness of six million dollars does not
manufacture straw hats, although it
