VICTIMS WON FOR
WHITE SLAVE MARKET BY
AIDOF HYPODERMIC NEEDLE

New York, Dec. 5.--Several
weeks ago a Jersey club woman
wrote an open letter warning young
women that white slave agents were
aetiTe with hypodermic syringes.
Their method was to shoot" mar
cotics into the wrists of young
women in the department stores or
theaters or depots.
When the swooning girl tottered
to the door, gangsters in the en-
ploy Of white slavers would offer
cab, LADY,"
Once the stupefed victim was in
the taxi she would be whisked off
to life of shame.
The good club woman got the
laugh, got it from everywhere Now,
reports are tumbling in to the po-
lice of young women on whom just
such attempts have been made.
Tonight, on complaint of beau
tiful young woman whose wrist was
pierced while she was in a New
York theater and who became stupe-
fed thereafter almost to the point
of Inconsistencies. Detectives ar.
rested sAremdia Megaro. a South
American. "a years old, whom the
victim of the strange attack accused
Of being her assailant. Detectives
assert the prisoner had a hypo-
dermic needle in his possession and
that he is not addicted to the use of
drugs.
The woman who was attacked is
Mrs. Marjorie H. Graf, 20 years old
bride of week of Ala Jefferson
avenue, Brooklyn, When her arm
was pierced she almost instantly be.

her way from the playhouse sh,

woman.

den numbness began to affect her
arm. She felt a dizziness coming
on and started for the street. She
told detectives that as she felt the
sting in her wrist she noticed Me-
garo's hands moving and surmised
he had attacked her.
Megaro was locked up on a tech
meal charge Of assault. Immediately
police set in motion an investlga-
ton into number Of reports OF
similar cases, which had not pre-
riously been seriously considered.
Mrs. Graft Is the wife of William
II. Graft, who is employed by the
Graves Engineering company, of
Manhattan. She was stopping tenn
porarily at a fashionable boarding
house. The couple are on their way
home from a honeymoon spent at
Atlantic City.
In the last few months many
young women who have been res
cued from the clutches of white
slave agents have been unable to
tell how they tell into the hands OF
their captors. In almost every case
each girl stated to the police that
she suddenly had lost consciousness
when in theater, unfrequented
street or depot. All that she re-
member of her sensations was one
similar to that caused by the sudden
thrust of a needle into flesh
This needle, detectives say was
the vent OF hypodermic syringe
containing a powerful opiate. Use
of the drug administered in such
manner enabled the white slave
agents to capture their prey with
little difficulty Immediately most
every victim became insensible and
was carried into a taxi, detectives
assert, the man carrying the victim
saying: "She has only faf1rFd
She is my sister. I am taking her
home"
When the girl revived she was in
brothel and unable to escape.

In their joint confession, it is
said, they implicated Attorney
Murray by asserting that he paid
a price for Gordon's testimony.
The entire invention they attrib-
uted to Murray, it is alleged.
Both Gordon and Gooden are
being held on charges OF perjury.
Information will be filed direct
in superior court against them
today.
Accused of Shooting.
Gooden was accused of at
tempting to kill A. Rachtner,
proprietor of a Jewish cafe in
Opera alley, on Christmas morn
ing. In his defense he named two
characters whom he now admits
were fictitious. They were AL
Forehead and his wife, Mrs. Alice
Forehead.
Both husband and wife, accord
ing to Gooden's and Gordon's
testimony, figured most rromin-
emily in the alleged shooting af-
fair, Gooden declar' on the
stand that it was For Aead who
fired the shots Christmas morns
ing instead of himself.
Negroes Defense.
Gooden went so far as to m
troduce a coat showing where one
of the bullets had torn his sleeve.
He explained that Rachtner was
mistaken in believing he was the
man under fire, and that it was
Gooden himself at whom Fore
head was shooting. Mrs. Fore
head, Gooden said, had engaged
him to drive her to a road house
in his automobile.
Gordon, it is said. admit
ted under examination today
that he had perjured himself
for money. Ii is he who i'm
plicated Attorney Murray i'm
the case. Gordon, according
to records in the police de-
partment, is an ex-convict,
who served u twO-year term
for burglary i'm the New
Westminster prison recently.
Attorney Murray himself was
but short time ago under in
dictment for grand larceny. There
were number OF separate
charges, all of which were
quashed by Judge Chapman
through a technicality.

TAKES RAP AT
THE LABOR
BUREAUS

II am going to try to put every
private employment bureau in
town out of business" said Conn
missioner A. U. Mills before the
pre-legislative institute i'm the Y.
NJ. G. A. this morning, and the
audience cheered the statement.
Mills told how the private bu-
reau is a graft largely, and hits
both the employer and the laborer
disastrously.
Mills said It was absolutely
wrong that anyone should take
money for furnishing employment
to another.
when the laborer needs job
is when he is least able to pay to
get one," said Caleb r. Jenkins.
He thought the legislature should
act and society should take steps
that every man should be given an
opportunity for employment and
then every man should be COM
PEELED to be employed.
Both Mills and Mayor Seymour
protested against the state substi-
tuting a state for the municipal
free employment bureau.
The institute took up legisla-
tion for more appropriations for
the state health board. DIR. u. w.

James said S34 died with pull

Prof. seliger. U. p. s.. figured
the loss to the state from this
disease alone was $12.0oO,000 =
year. He declared the state could
save $4,000, 900 year by build
ing up the health work and stop

ISLANDS
MAY JOIN
PIERCECO.
TACOMA BUSINESS MEN ARE
PLEASED WITH TENTATIVE
PLAN TO BRING MAURY AND
VASHON ISLANDS INTO THIS
COUNTY.

Tacoma business men are to-
day recommending the feasibility
of annexing Vashon island to
Pierce county, since 1t is expected
that the plan for the formation
of a new county from Maury and
Vashon islands will be dropped.
While the movement has al
ready been inaugurared I'm Oiym-
pia for the formation of this new
county, the report from the is
land today is that the project will
probably fall through for this
year and may not come up again
at all.
Election Dropped.
The leaders in the project were
contemplating an election today
to get the required per centage
of the voters demanded TO comply
with the legal requirement, but
the coin was largely spent in sup
porting a lobby at Olympia and
the election was called off.
In the meantime business men
are evincing an interest in the
case and it Is likely that with the
coming of spring Tacomans will
again take up the matter of a
ferry across to the island, and at
the same time urge the annexa-
tion of Vashon island to the
county.
Martin on Subject.
Secretary T. H. Martin of the
Commercial club said today he
was confident the ferry matter
will not be dropped
"Sooner or later it Is going to
be put in," said Martin today. 1T
would have been done last year
but it would not pay expenses.
Just as soon as the financial end
Is worked out the ferry will be
established"
Tacoma has not been asked to
take any part in the political
movement on the island to get
a separate county, bur mas been
in sympathy with it and was per-
fectly willing the people should
have their own county If they de-
sired, although citizens here
would be glad to have the islands
as a part of Pierce county.
The islanders too would prefer
to be connected to Pierce rather
than King county and II the sep.
arate county movement fails the,
may yet take up a PROJECT to an
mex to Pierce county.
