WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Inter-
state white slave traffic is decreasing
as a result of federal activity, Attor-
ney General T. w. McGregory states
in his annual report made public here
today. For the fiscal year ending June
80, last, there were 435 white slave in
dictments and 1857 convictions, COM
pared with 332 indictments and 266
convictions for the year preceding.
The bureau of investigation has had
an average of forty-one antitrust in
vestigations pending each month, as
compared with thirtysix the pre-
ceding year. There were three times
as many indictments in peOnage cases.
violations of the national bank
ruptcy act have become SO numerous
and so fragrant that special attention
has been given to them by the lnves-
tigating agents." says Mr.. Gregory.
approximately three times as many
indictments and twice as many con-
victions have been obtained as were
had during 1913 in cases in which
agents of the department were en-

Baggage-Handling Tips.

The corporation which does business
in this city in the delivery of baggage
to and from the railroad station has re-
ported to the public utilities commits
sion that it regards its service as COM
pleted on the delivery of the baggage
at the front door of the patrons resi-
dence, and similarly as begun there.
That is to say. for the fee exacted for
merely to take the baggage from the
door and to carry it to the door, and that
any carriage down or up stairs inside of
the house is a matter of arrangement
between the driver or wagon attendant
and the patron. This is the well under
stood practice and there is no surprise
in the statement of the case by the
company. AS a matter of fact. how
ever. the service only theoretically be-
gins and ends at the front door. for in
all but the rarest instances the driver,
on entering the house. goes to the
trunk, wherever it may be- and on de-
livering proceeds without hesitation to
the room designated. 1t is perfectly
we'll understood arrangement. and
while the company in question does not
ties. the tip for handling the baggage
inside of the house is always confident
ly expected. Perhaps this is salts
factory condition, but, of course, the
fee given for handling the baggage
inside the house is regarded by the
patron as part of the cost Of transport
This is practically fixed charge and
is really out of proportion on the aver.
age to the charge for hauling, in ratio
of distance. Yet il is not out OF pro-
portion to the saving of muscular
strength to the baggage owner The
average householder would want much
more than dime for carrying a trunk
up and down stairs. Those who do un-
dertake to shift the baggage from one
floor to another are certain to feel more
than 10 cents worth of soreness the
next day. however inflated their pride
may be. The tip given to the baggage
driver is usually regarded as money
well invested.

Smashing New York Majorities.

Mr.. Whitman's is the third smashing
victory in "a New York gubernatorial
race in the past thirtytwo years.
The first was that of Mr.. Cleveland,
who defeated Judge Folger in 1882, by
nearly two hundred thousand votes. A
row over the republican nomination
developed into a cutthroat affair. and
at the polls the partys nominee-an
able and blameless man--was slaugh-
tered. He died shortly afterward of a
broken heart, and Mr.. Cleveland made
his way TO the White House. Had the
republicans held together in the cam
paign. Judge Folger would have been
elected, and Mr.. Cleveland would never
have become a national figure.
The second triumph was that of Levi
p. Morton, who in 1894 defeated David
B. Hill by some hundred and fifty thou
sand votes. Mr.. Hill, then a senator
was drafted for the race Partly owing
to the two years of the second Cleve-
land administration, and partly to the
unpopularity of Mr.. Hill with the
Clevelandites in the state, the party
was divided and almost demoralized
The defeat practically closed Mr.. Hills
political career. 1t initiated against
him at Chicago two years later when
he was cherishing presidential hopes
and republican succeeded him in the
Senate.
Had Mr.. Morton been Younger his
victory might have made him a strong
factor two years later in the contest
for the republican presidential nomi-
nation. He had had other successes
at home. and was greatly esteemed
But the two young men-McKinley and
Reed-were crowding on all steam, and
they made the pace TOO swift for every
body else.
Mr.. Whitman. by an enormous ma
jority, has defeated Il man who was
cherishing no presidential aspirations
but who nevertheless had many claims
upon public respect. This makes the
victory notable, and gives the victor
national consequence. 1t shows that his
