Supreme Court So Rules in

RAISES QUESTION
OF STATE RIGHTS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Women
who conspire with men for their own
transportation in interstate commerce
for immoral purposes. arc subject to
the Mann white slave act. the Su-
prcme Court of the United States has
ruled. Department of Justise officials
expect this decision to go far toward
preventing in future the blackmail
which has been levied under the
Mann act.
Associate Justice Holmes, in render
ing the opinion Of the court in the
case appealed by the government from
the Federal district court of eastern
Wisconsin, held that women who vol
UNFAIRLY and without coercion took
such journeys, could not be considered
victims of white slavers.
In vigorous dissenting opinion AS
sociate Justice Lamar assailed the
reasoning of the majority of the court.
This view was concurred in by As
sociate Justice Day
The illustration of man who buys
liquor not being liable to the punish
ment provided for one who illegally
sells liquor, was used in both the ma
iority and minority opinions.
In discussing the opinion of the dis
trict court. which held that although
the onense could not be committed
without the woman she was not a
party to it. but only the victim JUS
ticc Holmes said that the court had
/ frequently held that a conspiracy 10

/ I'VE think il would he going too far

Suppose. for instance. that a profcs-
sional prostitute. as we'll able to look
out for herself as was the man. should
suggest the journey or should pay for
I the tickets. she would be within the
letter Of the act of 1910. We sec nc
reason why the act should not be held

Associate Justice Lamar in his dis
senting opinion said Congress had nc
power to punish the crime of immo
rality. which was made a misdemeanol
under State laws. Congress had nO
so legislated, he said but treated the
woman who was transported for use

know whether a bird is of any value
to society, it examines his stomach.
If the stomach contains the proper
portion of bugs and worms, the de-
partment gives the bird his passport
to fly anywhere he ploases in the
United States. But the stomach must
show that the bird has been ievour-
ing a required number Of bugs or
worms before its winged owner can
get his credentials from the depart
ments bird experts.
During the past year, study of birds
stOmachs resulted in eleven species
being added to the list of bird enc
mics of the boil weevil, making a total
of sixty-four thus far discovered. For
ty-ive species of birds, as Well as
frogs. toads and the salamander were
found to have fondness for the al
falfa weevil. The most active enc
mics of the weevil among the birds
are the brewer blackbird. the west
ern meadow lark. the valley quail,
and the commonly despised English
sparrow. The Rocky Mountain toad
''wears precious jewel in his head
in his destruction of breeding adult
insects in the spring and the larvae
later in the year.
An examination of the stomachs of
600 species of birds indicated they had
no appetite for caterpillars. The
standing Of the skunk was materially
elevated by the discovery that he
considers caterpillars great deli
cacy.
Permits were issued during the
year for importing 1882 birds into
the United States. Among these were
I 56S.676 canaries, 36,760 partridges
and 4,14S pheasants. There was a
noticeable increase in the importation
of partridges as a number of States
including Iowa and Oregon, are ex-
