The first facts adduced by the ques-

gard to the conditions in England. They

the international committee of the
British Federation for the Alienation of
Sweated Women and White Slave Vic
Tins He said that low wages had been
found to have been responsible for 80
per cent Of the immortality of women in
London, and that man was responsible
for the fall of the remaining 10 per cent.
He said that at least 500 women are
brought into the United States through
the port of Boston alone, from Eng
land. for immoral purposes.
Edith NJ. Thomas, a poet, wrote from
New York, and laid the blame at the
doors of the society columns of the
newspapers, which she said caused
young girls to long for the supposed
glamour of society life.

Department OF Justice, for the suppress

ITO my mind. 30 per cent of the social
evil is the fault Of the men," said Mr..
Finch 1T does not appear in our inves-

Men not only have the wrong attitude
and the wrong disposition toward women,
but they have so much money with
which to tempt them. Unless We can
educate the men to appreciate the enor-

Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara of Illinois chairman

PINCHOT'S POLICY
HAS OPPOSITION
Conservation Course of Official Dis.
missed by Taft Is Attacked by
Western Senators.

An attack on the national conservation
policy as established by Clifford Pinchot
and maintained by former Secretary of
the Interior Fisher is to be opened by
group OF Western Senators. led by
Shafroth Of Colorado. Democrat. and
Brady OF Idaho. Republican. Both men,
as recent Governors OF their respective
States. are UP in arms against the reser-
walton of millions of acres OF Federal
lands. Under the Constitution these lands
cannot be taxed for the upkeep of State
and county governments where they are
located On this grievance the Western
ers Will base their demands that the title
pass to private holders. who will be sub
jeCt TO taxation.
b Il do not care whether the Federal
government shall he made to pay tax
to the State or he made TO dispose Of this
vast property to individual citizens who
VIII pay the tax" said Senator Sharroth
yesterday. The central fact in the Sit
uation is that the conservation policy of
today deprives the States of the revenue
to which they are entitled. The rest of
the country would hardly pass a constt-
tutlonal amendment making government
lands subject to taxation for state pur-
poses. Most OF the States are not in our
predicament. The simplest way OF Civ
ing relief to us is to change the policy
of the Interior Department in admins
terfnS the laws now IN existence. mol
law compels the department to charge 1UI
cents for every ton OF coal taken from
Federal lands filed upon by a settler.
No law compels the department to charge
the person who develops a water power
for every horsepower developed This
charge keeps our citizens from opening
up the natural resources. without de- |
velopment the State can secure no reve- |
nue. with which TO maintain schools, |
courts. and all the machinery of govern
ment"
Senator Shafroth has seen Secretary OF |
the Interior Lane, but has not yet Sc
cured an expression or the new Secre-
tarys views on the issue.

DR.. VIII stated that another object Of

THE league is not organized for the

CONDITIONS IN MEXICO
GRAVER THAN EVER. SAY
REPORTS TO HAVANA

Havana. March 22.-The present
Mexican situation is graver than any
existing during the last two years.
according to statements made by re-
cent arrivals here. and late advices
received from that country. Outside of
the secession of Campeche and the re-
volt in the Yucatan district and the
more or less open secession movement
now going on in Sonora, a strong
anti-government feeling pervades the
entire peon class OF the republic.
Among the lower classes Madero
was hero. 1t was he that freed them
from Porfirio Diaz, under whose iron
rule they had existed almost since they
were born. The poems welcomed a
government which they felt to be less
like military dictatorship and more
of a democratic form. Madero held
this respect and feeling 10 the end,
and when he was shot he became the
martyr.
The poems see in Huerta another mill
tary dictator and a return TO the meth
DDS of the Diaz government. They hold
this same feeling toward Felix Diaz. who
Is military man and not politician.
The lower class. comprising an over
WhelmInC majority of the inhabitants Of
the republic, have shown no great 10y
atty for the Huerta regime.
Interests support Huerta.
Huerta has derived his sole support
Bnd what little popularity he enjoys from
the moneyed class 1t is felt by these
men that the overthrow of Huerta, with
an expressed desire by the people as a
whole for a more democratic government,
would lead to speedy intervention by the
United States. Even though President
Wilson did not desire ii. the move would
be forced upon him by European powers
whose subjects have many millions of
dollars invested in Mexican enterprises.
While the feeling among the poems is
growing daily, according to men who are
in close touch with the main situation.
It is not expected that any open display
of the desire to throw off the military
dictators will occur before the Presiden-
tial elections, which are scheduled for
July. In the meantime, the people will
wait patiently until it is determined
whether the elections will be held then
and what the result is.
News Is Suppressed.
1t is known that Huerta does not In |
tend to issue the final call for the cleo |
tion nor permit 1t to be issued by Con- |
Eress until Mexico is completely pacified |
How long it will take to secure this con- |
aition is a matter of speculation. but the
outlook at present for a speedy settle !
ment of all difficulties is far from the |
best. While the provisional government
has thrown the full strength of the army
against the rebels, who are active
through the northern States, Campeche
has taken advantage of the unprepared- i
hess of IIuerta and openly, but quietly,
bcceded. There is a strong feeling here
that the four adjoining States will join
her and form d new republic.
Arrivals here are loud in their charges
that a general suppression of news is
being conducted by the Huerta govern
ment and others, Including several Am
bassadors of foreign powers, who SYM
pathize with Huerta or at least with
dictatorship. The situation is
likened TO a volcano with an eruption
