WHITE SLAVERS USE

New York Police Faced With
New Gang Which Over
powers Girl With New
Weapon.

NEW YORK, Dec. GA police
dragnet was thrown out Saturday for
a gang of white slavers" who have
been operating in the stores, theatres
and even on the streets of New York
city and adjacent towns.
Their headquarters are believed 70
be in this city. The weapon of the
members of the gang is a needle
covered with a potion which cause
the unsuspecting victim partially to
lose consciousness and in this COnGi-
tion she is carried away.
Coming closely upon an attack
made upon Mrs. Marjorie Graft and
the holding of Armand Megaro in
S2O,0 bail charged with attacking
her while in a Newark theatre, the
police of that city were notified Sat
urday that Miss Minnie Klein. IS
years old had disappeared. She is
believed TO be a victim of tho gang as
are four other Newark girls whose
disappearance had previously been
reported.
One young woman who had ap-
parently been followed into a Brook
lyn store suddenly swooned. The
young man who stood near her caught
her in his arms and with the excla-
matiC7: Il am her brother" assisted
her TO the sidewalk and was about to
place her IN a taXicab when her
mother with whom the girl had an
appointment, arrived and recognized
her daughter. The brother" sur
rendered his prey and sped away be-
fore the mother grasped the situation.
The girl subsequently said that she
had felt sharp jab and had immed-
lately lost all power Of thought. Two
other women are known 10 have been
secretly jabbed in the shopping dis
trict.
The New York police Saturday re-
ceived word from the authorities OF
some other cities that similar cases
have been brought TO their attention

ent that "pOinoned needles" have be-
come a recognized weapon Of the
