White SLAVE CHARGE

Los Angeles, Cal, July l9.-Highly
sensational stories concerning the al
legged systematical pursuit Of young
girls by men of wealth and social
prominence are promised at the trial
of George H. Bixby here next week.
Bixby. a millionaire banker residing
with his family in palatial home at
Long Beach, is to be tried on an in
dictment charging him with aiding the
delinquency of two minor girls.
Bixbys arrest came as a sequel to
a police raid on THE Jonquil," an
apartment house which the police de-
clare was a resort of the worst char
acter, despite its outward respectable
appearance and the luxury of its int
rior furnishings. The place was run
by Mrs. Josie Rosenberg, against

weeks inquiry by the grand jury into
allegations that wealthy men had an
organized system of ensnaring young
women and girls for immoral pur-
poses. The indictment of Millionaire
BiXby was the direct result of this
| inquiry. The evidence on which the
! indictments we're based was furnished
chiefly by Kitty Phillips, youthful
motion picture actress, and Marie
Brown-Levy a young woman still in
her teens According to the stories
told by the girls Bixby was known at
the apartments of Mrs Rosenberg as
the Black Pearl" He is said to have
been the heaviest spender at the re-
sort, frequently distributing bills Of
! large denomination among the young
women whom he is said to have met
there by Introduction of Mrs. Rosen-

been the best known patron of The
Jonquil," it is declared that he was
! only one Of large number of men
/ of wealth and prominence in society
who were frequent visitors at the
place.

1t seems that there is at least one
white man in the world who is of the
opinion that the day is not far distant
when the boasted superiority of the
white man will only be a remem-
brance. DR.. A. Luce, who for 16 years
has been a resident of China and is
now president of the Presbyteria Col
lege at Shan Tung, China, addressed
the students at Manchester College
this week and among other things
said:
''In 100 years or. less, because of
the wealth of raw material, because
of the wealth of manual labor, be-
cause of the fiber of the people, China
will be the dominant nation of the
world Intellectually, politically and
economically" [

than two years before the death Of
Herod, fact which harmonizes well
with other conditions Of the narrative.
for it is probable that the mandate
for the slaughter of all the children
some months before his decease, and
the limit Of two years would leave an
ample margin for any uncertainty as
to- the time Of the appearance of the
star, as related by the magi; also there
were no paschal full moons on FRI
day between the years B. q. 6 and
A. d. 33 and no other following that
till A. D. 60.
From this it would seem to follow
that Christ was thirty eight years old
at the time of the crucifixiOn, and this
would vindicate the sagacity of the
Jewish doctors who affirmed that he
was not yet fifty (forty 2, years old. It

Another theory about the star Of

is that the star seen by the mag is

many years before and after the

that such an important search as they

The uncertainty Of the centuries in
regard to the date Of the Nativity in
year and month may never be cleared
up. It's existence has been unfairly
cited AZ reason for disbelieving the
whole narration. The people of 2, Zoo

be remembered that the destruction
OF Jerusalem occurred between the
