MANN ACT IS HELD

Court Declares Scope Is Great

by Congress.

San Francisco, Cal. Sept 1S.-Bitter
denunciation of the saloon marked the
address of Federal Judge Van Fleet in
sentencing Maury l. Digs and F.
Drew Caminetti in the notorious
white slave" case yesterday.
This was a crime of opportunity"
Judge Van Fleet said. Il mean that the
laxity of social conditions and the lack
of parental control made it possible

case there is the evidence that drink

morals ard minds of these men and
these two young girls with whom they
went on that trip to Reno. The te--
rible influence of the saloon and the
roadhouse is too disgustingly apparent
in this pitiful situation, and make the
observation here that society must
pay the price for permitting the ex-
istence of these highly Objectionable
places.
This does not help me to exculpate
these defendants"
Judge Van Fleet said scope of the
Mann act. under which the two men
were sentenced, was wider than was
! intended by it's trainers.
Il agree with counsel" he said,
that the degree of the offense com
mitted by these men, if the court can
be permitted to refer to degrees of
this crime where the Mann act fails
! to, is not as grave as in cases where
men transport women from one state
to another for immoral purposes for
gain. The act originally did not con-

added that any transportation for any
immoral act where the woman trans

brought these cases within the pur
view of the statute.
Congress failed to alter the last
portion of the act, which gave the

Action of the Detroit Board of Commerce ON
Telephone Competition in Detroit

The Detroit Board of Commerce, by
unanimous action, most earnestly hope
that the authorities of the city and the
representatives of the people may take
such steps as will prevent the introduc-
ton Of a competitive telephone system in
the city of Detroit, which would, in the
opinion Of the director, be detrimental
as related to the public interest,"
1--WE have had one experience and the
directors of the Board of Commerce,
mindful Of that, naturally do not care to
court another. The merchants, manufac-
turers and other business concerns of the
city have had their. course pointed out to
them by body of their representatives
organized for just such emergencies as
this. This is the official utterance of the
business life Of Detroit. The question of

probabilities are that the enactment

of the past ten days. The market, as

a competing telephone system has been
investigated fairly and thoroughly and
has been pronounced detrimental as re-
lated to the public interest. It is just
such actions as this-prompt, courageous
and decisive-that have brought to the
Board of Commerce its present standing,
and won it the respect of the community.
It's function is not only to encourage the
industrial growth of the city, but to stand
between the merchant and all manner Of
graft to which he is exposed. The direc.
tors are to be congratulated for their per-
spicacity and courage.
''This should be the end of that bette
noir, another telephone system. The mer-
chants of Detroit should stand together
and defeat the project by refusing unani-
mously to subscribe. ''-Detroit Journal.
