Bill Gives Fire Engines the
Right of Way on Streets

JERSEY CITY. Feb. 2s.-The Board
of City Commissioners has two
important resolutions presented by
Commissioner of the Department
of Public Safety Frank Hague call
ing upon the city law department to
draw up bills on two important mat
tiers. The bills are to be ready for
introduction in the Legislature at an
early date.
The commissioner particularly
wants bill passed that will give fire
companies the right of way through
the city streets. Under the existing
law fire companies have no such right
and some of the cities have had trou-
Bile over this matter. The commits
sioner claims that fire engines and
fire trucks should have unimpeded
rights in public streets in time of

SAY PROFIT CAUSES
WHITE SLAVERY
Business of Prostitution Probed
by Commission in
Massachusetts,.

BOSTON, Feb. 2S.--"The financial
profit of the business of prostitution
is the principal reason for It's exist
ence. No other form of criminal
offense so fragrant and open and so
harmful to the community would be
tolerated for day in this State"
These declarations are made in the re-
port submitted to the Legislature to-
day by a commission appointed last
year. which has conducted a detailed
investigation In seventy-nine Massa-
chusetts cities and towns.
The report says that millions of dol
lars are invested in establishments
utilized for immoral purposes and that
prostitution In all its ramifcations
constitutes a vast business extending
all over the State"
The report emphasizes the dangers
of unregulated lodging houses, public
dance halls and recreation parks. The
commission has found widespread
evidence of a strong public sentiment
against the continuance of the condi-
tics 1t has found to exist" and ex-
pressed the conviction that this evil
is susceptible of successful attack and
treatment"
1.-The fact that one-hal of the wom-
en- examined were actually feeble
minded" the report says, clears the
way for successful treatment of a
portion of this class. The recognition
of feeble-minded girls at an early age
in the public schools and proper pro-
vision for their protection would pre-
vent much of the observed immor-
atty among young girls and the re-
sulting temptations to boys.
while the officials In no city in the
State have openly adopted the policy
of segregation and liberation" says
the report, yet it is a fact that in
certain Giles there are stress where
the business Is conducted in much the
same way as If segregation was the
accented official policy.
"In the larger cities the most fla
grant expression of concentrated
prostitution is in connection with cer-
tain cafes and saloons. These places
are enormously profitable. The police
take the position that they have no
right to interfere If the Letter of he
law Is observed, blu 1t is difficult to
understand why these immoral cafes
and saloons are tolerated"

DR.. Quick Explains His
New immigration Theory

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s.-Dr. Sidney
L. Quick, a veteran missionary, who
recently laid before the United States
government a radical plan + "
ing the immigration problem, spoke
here today before the League for Po-
litieal Education. His suggestion is
that immigration be limited TO five
per cent. annually of the members Of
each race already naturalized in the
United States with their American
born children. This rate, he points
out, would permit the entrance Of all
who might come from North Europe
and cut down immigration from South
and East Europe and allow only slight
immigration from Asia
DR.. Quick is visiting the big cities
under an arrangement made with the
federal council of the Churches Of
Christ in America to present the view
Of the missionaries to Japan concern-
ing American relationships with the
Eastern races For twenty-six years
he was a missionary in Japan, and
his address today dealt with the
Japanese problem.
His fundamental solution for the
Asiatic problem was TO educate Asia
to the Western economic and moral
standards. UNLESS we raise Asia 10
our level he declared, she win even
tually pull us down TO hers"

SEVEN SISTERS"
BILLS ENFORCED
Public Utility Commission Uses
Them Against Merger of
Malt Companies.

TRENTON, Feb. 2s.-The authority
to merge the American Malt Corpora
ton and the American Mailing Com
pany, organized under the laws of
New Jersey, into a single corporation
with capital stock of SIS, 000. 900 was
today denied by the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners, on the ground
that the assets of the two companies
do not Justify a capitalization of this
amount and on the further ground
that the two corporations are not
doing a cognate business. Both COM
panies' Offices are in New York
In denying the application for
merger the utility commissioners
exercised the authority conferred
upon them by two of the antitrust
laws passed by the Legislature in
1913 and which are generally referred
to as the Seven Sisters" One of
these laws provides that mergers shall
be authorized only where there are
assets sufficient to justify the capt.
talization proposed and the other one
authorizes merging where companies
are doing a cognate business.
According to the opinion of the
utility commissioners, the mailing
company is an operating concern and
the malt corporation Is a holding
company. This, the commission holds.
does not come within the definition
of companies doing a cognate bust
ness. The malt corporation has COM
paratively no assets, aside from its
ownership of about SO per cent. of the
total capitalized stock of the mailing
company, and the commission esti-
mates the tangible assets of the malt
ing company at approximately SPA
600. or nearly s6,000,000 short of the
proposed capitalization of $4,000, 900.
The commission refuses to concede
the claim of the applicants that the
Intangible assets are worth the re-
naming Sc, 600, 900.
