 States Attorney Hull made a state ment to the court about the Warren house on Summit street in this city, where Fanny Green lived, and which was raided by the state police. Major Hull declared that she may have vlo- lated the federal law.
 Judge c. w. Comstock, who appeared for the Green woman, argued before the court on her behalf and said she had not brought women here from New York, but had found them here in the house when she came and when these went away two others came and were given board there upon their re- quest. He said that the woman had been advised to plead guilty in the belief that a reasonable fine would be imposed.
 Judge Burpee said that it looked as if the woman had kept house of ill., repute but there did not seem to be any white slave traffic features in re- gard to this case. The judge said that if she violates the law again she will have to serve out the full terms of her sentences. She must report to the probation officer for the next two years.
