WHITE SLAVERY SHOWN'
REMARKABLE PICTURES AT
TRAoTING GREAT NoToRIETY
IN PORTLAND TO BE SEEN AT
BLIGH.

7. G. Bligh, the well-known theatre
man, has succeeded in making final ar
rangements to have the Samuel H. Len
don motion picture film depicting the
white slave traffic flashed on the screen
of the Bligh theatre next Monday and
Tuesday. These pictures gained much
favorable notoriety in Portland, and
the metropolitan press of that city has
this to say in regard to the film;
"Anyone who has ever had an inter.
est in the naming of book, play or
a moving picture, will have story to
tell of the difficulties which beset
them in the selection of what would
seem an appropriate and attractive
title. Many play has been named
and renamed, and then named again,
before the promoters would tell the
public its true name. Some titles are
certainly very misleading, and in an
effort to secure the best the sponsors
have often gone amiss.
"When Samuel II. London first
filmed his white slave story he did not
give it any title at all, for he intended
that the picture was to be shown only
at private exhibitions, and therefore
did not consider it necessary to give it
a name. The pictures were being shown
one evening at the hall of the Soeio.
logical Research Film corporation and
everyone in the audience. besought Mr..
London to show the pictures in public.
But said Mr., London, Il haven t even
as much as given them name Huh,
said an attentive listener, Anything
will do, for you must realize that they
give the true inside of the white slave
traffic, and that is sufficient for those
who will throng to see them And it
was from this speech Of the very inter
ested spectator that night that Mr.. Lon
don secured his title, THE Inside of
the White Slave Traffic. "
No one under 16 years of age will be
admitted to the exhibition next Mon.
day and Tuesday.

NEW HAVEN STOCKS
 ARE STILL WEAK


 New York, Feb. -Opening Eff forts. of the shorts to carry further the de- cline which occurred yesterday met with little success in todayss early trading. Opening changes were small and irregular. There was better de- mand for stocks at the lower level established by the decline and offer ings were taken so readily that tenta.-i tive attempts to break the rise were abandoned. E Prices hardened slowly after the opening Canadian Pacific and Mexican Petroleum rose a point. American Express sold at 102.
 NoonZThe market was relieved to- day from the pressure directed against it during the preceding session but made little progress toward recovering the losses then inflicted. The tone was steady throughout the forenoon but speculative buying was limited and it's influence was nullified by renewed weakness in New Haven and profit taking in speciaIties which recently. had been strong.
 For a time prices moved upward slowly but offerings at higher figures were not well taken. Some of the -speeialties made good gains but the railroad stocks once more were in cIined to- lag behind and the move ment as a whole was insignificant
 Bonds were steady.

Declares Further Effort at Co- Operation Nh Purchases
 Is Hopeless
Board of Charities to Meet Aqain Thursday to Act on Johnsen's Res.g-
 nation.

Caustically arraigning the Board of Contract and Supply for the quantity of supplies furnished to Lzlk eview and implying that false economy is being followed by the administr ation in or der to show a saving of dollars and cents, Superintendent Merle c. COwdes of the institution furnished the only incidents of interest at yesterdays ses- sion of the Charities Board He said that the quality of supplies is, at times, very poor but pli1osophically remark ed that if the inmates would not eat them the hogs undoubtedly would.
 The remarks were made informally when he vigorously objected to the suggestion of Commission ner John Mac Lsaren Richardson that he confer with Clerk Catfin of the Contract Beard He ernp1aticaI1y refused to have any thing more to do with that official .a.d- vzncing the Idea that past conferences did not think future ones would be any more so. For good and suffi- cient reasons he did not care to do any more business with Clerk Catlin- President F. William Behrens inform ed Commissioner Richardson that he would confer with him.
 The expected formal acceptance of Superi11tendent Fred R. Johnsonss resdgna1ion and selection of sa1ccessor did mot take place being postponed nn4d1 a special meeting at o'clock Thursday morning. Action was ex-s pected but when the com n1rnissionefs and Mayor Wilson saw the array of newspapermen seated in the room, they silently vanished into an outside room and had an executive session Upon returning Mr. JohnsonEe explain ed that his resignation. written put and ready to hand in, wotf1d be held ur,s following request, until spe cfaI session The date Of the session was then announced.
 There was a. coEnrnunica afdon receiv- ed from Clerk Cat1in of the Contract Beard referx1ng to pure hases made on the emergehcy account without first referring them to his organiza- ton The reasons for these purchases were explained by Clerk Thomas F. Cox for his branch and by Superin- tendent CowIes for Lakeview- The latter showed that gasoline was in cluded in the emergency purchases. He said that gasoline was pure hased when the supply at the institution ran out or became low and was always made from the concern named by the Con- tract Board
 Following this up, he inquired as to whether all supplies for the employees, table must be purchased through the Contract Board and upon being am swered in the affirmative except in cases of eaaer gency simply remarked that frequently such poor material had been sent up that he had found it u1I- it fo be useFz lFrequ entity he made com plainfs, he said, but it resulted in no material change.

Alderman Peter J.

He said he was a member of the committee, but that business submitted to it, until he heard reports, read at the council meetings.
 Alderman Cole, chairman, assured Alderman Bmstatter that in future nothing will be kept from him. Alder man Umstatter demanded that the director of public works obey orders of the streets and sidewalks commit tee to lay crosswaIks in the Twelfth district.

DONOvAN'S BILL TO AID FARMERS
 AND EISHE RMEN
He Would Have Government Pay Bounty for Fish That
 Prey on SeafOOd.
Then Would Sell the Fertilizer Thus Obtained, at Cost
 To Farmers.
fspeeial to the Farmer.l

w Washington, Feb. 17-Congre ressn1an Jeremiah Donovan is urging 1eglsla- tion of the utmost importance to Con necticut fishermen and oystermen as well as to the farmer He has in- troduced into Congress bill to pre- serve sea-food and to assist in, fer lstiliing the land at cheaper expense The bill aims through a bounty upon dog-hsh, star-fsh and other similar oyster and edible fish-destroyers. and the erection of reduction plants from Bangor, Maine, to Cape Hatteras, to destroy the pests and to manufacture phosphate and other fertilizer for the land of the farmer
 It is provided that a Sbountx of not less than two cents each or $8@per ton
 shall be paid American fishermen from.
 Eastport to Cape Hatteras for catching
 and delivering the sharks, skater and
 star-ffsh to the reduction works Fed-
 era1 collecting vessels are to be pro-.
 eral authorities.
 It is believed that the waters of
 Maine, Massachusetts, Conn ecticut. New York and New Jersey could be rid of over one million preying fish year during the fishing season from June to November l..
 It is stipulated that all fertilizer made from the carcasses shall be sold direct to bona. 6de farmers and plant- CTS in the United States at the gross cost of production and without added weight of -fertiIizing material.
 It is believed here that the pass age of the bill would go a long way towards bringing back the many classes of fish which have been scarce in the Copnectieut and other rivers for several years, and that the oyster beds would be materially protected from ravages of the shark type of fish Fishernen and oystermen are unsparing in their praise of the bill introduced by MT Donovan and re- ferred to the coTnmfttee on the Mer- chant marine and fisheries. This biIl known as H R 1859, should have the endorsement of all interested.
