WOULD MAKE HER
EQUALLY GUILTY
Government Holds Woman,
Too, Should Be Punished
for White Slavery.
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Prosecution Contends Female Should
Be Held Responsible-Would De-
crease Violations of Mann Act.

The government seeks to fix upon a
woman transported from one State to
another in violation of the Mann white
slave act joint responsibility with the
man who contrived the violation. in a
brief filed in the Supreme Court yes
terday. The case is regarded as of the
utmost Importance, inasmuch as the
claim of the government. If upheld by
the court. would have the effect of max
ing the women involved in white slave
cases equally careful as the men to
prevent their acts from coming under
the scrutiny of Federal authorities. and
effectually would prevent the use of
the Mann act as a weapon of blackmail
on the part of women who are guilty
of violations.
The governments brief is in the case
against Clara Holte, who was trans
ported from Barrington, Ill, to Milwau-
kee, Wis, for imi-.-al purposes. The
United States District Court for the East
ern district of Wisconsin held that the
statutes involved did not permit a woman
who was the subject of unlawful trans
portation, although a guilty participator
to be indicted as a cOnspirator with the
persons who caused her to be trans
ported. 1t is on this point alone that
the governments appeal is made, the De-
partment of Justice laying down the
proposition that the violation of the
Mann act was accomplished as a result
of a conspiracy between the man in
VOWED and Clara Holte, for which the
two may be indicted and punished alike.
Would Decrease Cases.
The application of the principle thus
advanced would result. it is believed, in
a remarkable decrease in the number Of
white slave cases brought by United
States district attorneys.
1t has been openly charged that the
effect of the law as now enforced is TO
put the government In partnership with
blackmailers, for it is by threatening to
see the district attorney that scheming
women have succeeded in sweating down
their victims in scores Of instances, ac-
COrding to foes OF the mann act.
Attorney General McReynolds never eX-
pressed himself publicly upon this sub
iect. but it was widely believed that he
found the enforcement of the Mann act
in many instances distasteful to him.
Apparently his successor, Mr.. Gregory,
shares this adherence OF the collabora-
ton Of sCheming women and special
agents of the Department OF Justice in
working up white slave cases.

An Indication
 Of Greatness
By OSCAR COX

My uncle, Dr. James Pulsifer, was great scientist and an original thinker. He died a bachelor and left me all his property. After his death I examined every paper of his I could find, es- pecially his scientific writings, think ing to publish them. Among an earlier batch written very soon after lie grad uated in medicine found a narrative which as l read on interested me in- tensely. Here it is;
 eve all know that many things exist of which the human mind has not yet any conception. I go further than this. l believe that anything of which the mind eau conceive, however i'm probable, may exist
 Some years ago a certain noted au- thor wrote a story-'The Strange Case of Dr. JekylI and MT. Hyde'-suggest, ing that two different personalities might exist in the same man. l be- Iievc that the day will come when 1t will be demonstrated to the world that some, if not all, of Us are com posed of more than one being. Indeed, I not only believe it; know it. If you ask me why know it, this is my re- ply:
 There was something about Jennie Hatch that impressed me the first time [ met her. She vas what most per sons would call odd Perhaps one req son for my becoming interested in her was that I was a recent graduate of medical college and had taken a post graduate course on tho physiology of psychiCal conditions. It seemed to me that Miss Hatch was abnormal-not that her body was abnormal, but the spirit within it. For am not so given to materialiSm as to believe that our spiritual and physical parts are one.

During tine second she made me feel that 1 was q boy at tempting to entertain woman who had learned wisdom.
 "NIy observations indicated to me that Jennie Hatch embodied two personau- ties. My deductions were not based alone on such differences as have de- scribed.
