MARRYING PREACHER is
CONVICTED OF SLAVERY

Seattle. Wash. March 16.-Rev. Al
bert Dahlstrom, founder of a religious
sect known as "Heliga,' which he says
has 10000 members in the United
States, n n of the tenets of which
is said to be a belief in polygamy, was
convicted here of violation of the Mann
white slave act in transporting Miss
Edna Englund, of Tacoma, Wash. from
Fresno. Cal, to the state of Washing
ton. Extracts from Dahlstrom's nu1n-
erous books and pamphlets were intro
duced in evidence against him.
Edna Englund, who turned against
Dahlstrom because he showed a pref
erence for her sister, Hilda, was a wit
ness against the clergyman. Hilda tes-
titled for him, saying that she herself
bought the ticket on which Edna trav-
eled from Fresno. The mother of the
girls, who are young and attractive,
was a witness for the government.
According to William r. Bryon, spe-
cial agent of the department of jus
tice. Dahlstrom has married and de-
serted a score of women in the western
part of the country since 1889. Bryon
said he had in his records a long list
of young Swedish women whom Dahl
strom is said to have converted to his
religion and then lived with for a time,
in Chicago. st. Paul. Minneapolis. Egg
gleston. Mimi; Denver, Rockford, Ill,
and elsewhere.

In the past. on This trafhc. the eastern
territory has been divided into 10 diff

much confusion ana inconsistency. The
commission has now established one
set of proportionals applicable TO all

1son for five Iowa cities shows the dit

and the new schedule which goes into
effect March L:
For Des Moines the new p

cents. which is 3.S cents less thar the
average now existing, e. cents
less than the highest now existing.
For Cedar Rapids, the new p

which is 81 cents less than the average
today n 10 cents less than the high

For Ottumwa, the new proportional,
2S.6 cents, will be ST cents less than

ness established before March, 1912,

to be given for the retailing equipment,
which cost s2,000,000, or the good will.
The wording of the bill excludes
compensation for the refinery in the
tree port of Bremen, outside Of the

Although the American government
has not protested against the passage
of the oil monopoly bill, it recently re-

pending determination of the American
standpoint.
The German imperial parliament did
not a any heed to this request, but
