To TEST MANN ACT
IN SUPREME COURT
Department Of Justice Files
Appeal Designed to Stop
HlaokmaiI Practice.

"A tsst case. designed to break up con-
sptracies for blackmail under the Mann
white slave law, has been brought be-
fore the Supreme Court by the Depart
lnent of, Justice in the case Of the Uni
ted states VS.. Clara Holte. Tic appeal
was made in brief flied Yesterday by
Assistant Attorney Gcncral William
Wallace, ir.
According TO officials of the depart
rnent. who are deeply interested in IN"
case. this pa,tic llar form of b'ackn1nil
is becoming widespread. and women,
particularly. have fo:nd easy prey
through the rigid penalties of the Mann
law. Under the Mann law any man
who took woman from one state
to another for immoral purposes was
amenable to the act. and was liable to
conviction. AS a consequences. Vt is
said women and men, holding the fear
of conviction over the heads of viola
tors, have been collecting big sums for
suppression of the facts.
Aiming to break UP this practice. the
department in the case of Clara Holtc.
alleged that the woman knowingly par
ticipated in her transportation in in
terstate commerce for immoral pur-
poses. and Is therefore. liable to convic-
tion with a man named Laudenschlagcr
on a charge OF conspiracy. According to
the brief Of Assistant Attorney Wallace,
I.audenschlagcr transported the woman
from Harrington. H.. to Milwaukee. -Ac-
cerding to the evidence he bought her
railroad ticket
The Wisconsin court held that the
woman. being merely the object Of the
unlawful transportation. could not be
punished for aiding and assisting the
man. It is from this Judgment that the
Department Of Justice has appealed to
the highest tribunal.
The Government is seeking to prove
that by provisions of the Mann law a
woman may be transported by 2 man
for an immoral purpose without any
guilty completely on h'r part. but that,
If she knowingly participated with him
in bringing about her trarsportai on for
an immoral purpose. then, under tho
,ircums instances, the two may be indicted
and punished for conspiracy.

COURT ORDERS
Of
SPY
German Who Was Too Pro-
life With Pen, to Eng
land for Trial.
81 AssoCIATEp PRES.

New York, Sept. 10.-Ignatius T.
T.. Lincoln, self confessed German
spy, was today ordered by Federal
Judge Veeder, Brooklyn, to be ex-
tradited to England for trial on a
charge Of perjury.
Judge Veeder's findings will be sent
to Secretary Lansing. After Mr..
Lansing has passed on the proceed
ings, Lincoln will be liable to extradi-
ton at any time.
Judge Veeder held that the deposit
tions sent from London, and present
ed in court through attorneys repre-
senting the British consul here, are
sufficient testimony to warrant the ex-
tradition of Lincoln.
LincoIn's attorney had asked for
six weeks delay in which time they
said they would be able to secure
affidavits from persons in England,
Holland and other countries tending
to show that the British government
asked for Lincoln's extradition in
order to try him on charges Of being
a spy instead of the forgery charges.
Lincoln, whose name was Isaac
Trebitsch until he became a natural
lied Englishman, is charged with
three forgeries.
Lincoln arrived in New York from
Liverpool on February 9 last. Early
in May he wrote two articles, publish
ed in a newspaper in which he pur.
ported to tell of the working of the
British war Office. He announced ht
would publish a book entitled 'Reve-
lations of an international Spy" His
arrest on the forgery charge follow

TREASURE SOUGHT
BY COLORED MEN
One Had a Vision 13 Years
Ago and Has Located
Spot Seen in Dream.

North Hill residents are watching
with interest the work of several
colored men who have already made
a great excavation near the corner
of Palafox and Seventeenth streets.
They are looking for buried treasure,
supposed to have been placed in that
vicinity during the palmy days Of
the noted Captain Kidd. Two colored
preachers a colored LAWYER and sew
eral other colored men are partners
in the search for this treasure, which
they say is estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000.
The search is the result of a vision
of gold buried at certain spot. One
of the colored ministers some thir-
teen years ago is said to have
dreamed in which he plainly saw the
spot where large quantity of gold
was buried. 1t was beside large
tree at a certain point. Some years
later he had a similar vision, and il
is now said that the dream was re-
peated very recently.
The minister told another of his
vision and the two then told law.

spot and located it in the back yarC
of Mr.. Everhart, residing at the
corner of Palafox and Seventeenth
streets. They We're disappointed
however, in not finding tree at the
spot indicated, but decided to make
a search. Digging down few fee
they found the stump of the tree.
The colored men were then salts
fed that they were on the RICH
track Securing a large quantity 0.
lumber they built high wall arounc
the spot and began excavating, frs
buying a suction pump to keep tn
water clear as they continued dig
ging.
Yesterday several more dolores
men were employed and at night i
was reported the men had gone to ;
great depth in their search for buriet
gold.

Will Not Join the Confer
ence Proposed BY Pan
Americans.
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Vera Cruz, Sept. 10.-CaEranza has
declined to accept the invitation of
the American conference to join
the leaders of the various Mexican
factions in an endeavor to bring
about peace.
The reply was handed President
Wilson's personal representative,
John R. Silliman, at noon today. It
says Carranza could not consent that
the interior affairs of Mexico be
handled by mediating or the initia-
tive of any foreign government.
An acceptance would impair the
sovereignty of the country, and es-
tabIish a precedent for foreign inter
ference in its internal affairs. He
calls attention to the fact that his
military and civil officials referred
the conference to him as proof that
he alone has been able to maintain
the unity of the government and he
can't permit his opponents to have a
hand in the government republic. He
proposes that the conferees or their
representatives meet him on the
American border for a conference
with the purpose of deciding whether
his government should be recognized
and with the understanding that II
it is demonstrated his government
has the necessary attributes they
recommend their governments to rec
ognize it.

LITTLE CHANGE IS
NOTED IN THE EAST
Russian Successes Are Not
Interfering With the Ger
RY ASSOCIATED PREss.

London, Sept. 10.-The long expect
ed German offensive in the west seems
near. They have attempted to break
through the French lines in the
vosges mountains and Artois as well
as in the Argonne forest. They claim
they have occupied some French
trenches. The French admit losses, but
say the Germans used asphyxiating
gases and the French regained most
of the ground lost at Hartmann
Weilerkopf, later repulsing a violent
attack there.
Hartman Weilerkcpf was taken by
the French during the spring and
summer, and probably has been the
scene of as much hard fighting as
any place on the entire trent. 1t has
changed hands a dozen times. Yes
terday the Germans got a footing on
the summit. The French claim
though they were driven off during
the night. Outside of this the vest
ern armies have been engaged in al
most continuous artillery duels, bomb
throwing, and air raids.
| There is little change in the east.
The Russian successes on the Sereth
river, in Galicia, have not interferred
with the Teutonic advance. Farther
north the Austrians have taken Dub
no, the second of the triangle of fort
resses to fall. With the aid of the
Germans they now are advancing on
Rovno. Meanwhile the Germans from
the south of the pripet marshes to the
region southwest of Wilma are fight
ing hard, with some success for the
railway system of the Brest- Wilma
area, most of which now is in theil
J hands. Their aim now is the MAR
trunk line running through Dvinsk
: wilma and east of the Pripet marshes
ito Rovno and Lemberg. Military critics

WASHINGTON AROUSED OVER
KIDNAPPING OF AMERICAN

Washington, Sept. 1o.-The kid
MAPPING of an American ranchman,
John Lowenbruck, by Mexican bandits
at Columbus, New Mexico aroused
state and war department officials to-
day. He was carried across the bor-
der at Columbus and word sent back
he was being held for two thousand
dollars ransum. A report was sent
the war department and taken to the
state department. Secretary Lansing
sent a message to Villa demanding
the ranchman's release.
Reports indicating that Villa is
losing control of some of his forces
in northern Mexico and that many
soldiers have formed belligerent
bands, reached the administration.
