OPENING CRUSADE ON
WHITE SLAVE GANGS
New York Police. Startled by
Big List of Missing Girls.
Begin New Activity.

NEW. YORK. Feb. 16.-Facinc the
startling fact that no less than s6l New
Workers have disappeared in three
months. @g5 of them being girls and
women. aud that only I9i of them have
been found. the head Of the police de-
partment has ordered the guardians Of
the greater city To divert their attention
for a time from the gangsters and gun
men to the cadets and white slavers.
With eight girls of good family on
the missing list at one time, the police
awoke to the fact that white slavery
with all its horrors is a real institution
ir New York.
The police, therefore. have undertaken
a campaign of vigorous rough handling
against the white slavers, similar to
the war they recently waged against the
gangsters OF the East Side. 1t is be
lieved that similar move against the
enemies of women will have equal sue
cess.
In :. short time several OF the worst
of the East Side rOwdies were sent to
hospitals Instead of police stations, and
one policeman was highly commended

DECIDED ON IN NEW YORK

New York. Aug. 3.-Emergency cur
rency, clearing house certificates and
a decision by the savings banks of the
state to require Of depositors sixty
days notice before the withdrawal of
funds were factors which united to-
day to reltave the financial situation
here brought about by the warning
powers of Europe. At the same time
the outflow of gold for Europe-the
prime couse Of the situation-seemed
to have been checked.
The secretary of the treasury after
an overnight conference relative to
the issuance Of one hundred million
dollars in emergency currency, re-
turned to Washington for conferences
with bankers Of other cities.
Decision to issue clearing house GER
tif1cates-the first used since the panic
of 1907-was reached at a meeting of
the clearing house association during
the forenoon. Indications were that the
Stock. Coffee, and Cotton exchanges
would remain closed indefinitely.
