specisi 20 The Washington Herald
New York, Sept. SIN reply TO news
paper criticisms Of his vice crusade. Dis
trict Attorney Swami said last night
that he has five or six complaints from
young women against their employers in
the dress and suit wholesale trade, charg-
ing that these men compel them to en-
terrain out-of-town buyers while they
are in New York.
"One such complainant, a girl of 10,
has been turned over to the committee
OF twelve, which will investigate her
story thoroughly" said Mr.. Swami. She
declares that she was hired in Chicago
last June by the vice president of a dress
firm to come to New York and work at
SIS a week as a model, and was told that
II the position was unsatisfactory her re-
turn fare would be paid. She said she
came TO this city on the same train with
this man. He is 40.
Several times during the summer, she
says, she was given to understand that
she would be expected to entertain GER
tain buyers by going out with them to
hotels and roadhouses, and her en-
ployers, she says, agreed to furnish her
with costly gowns She says she refused
in each instance, and a week ago last
Saturday she was discharged.
Mr. Swami says so many cases OF this
sort have been placed before him that
he hasn't the facilities to investigate
them all

Trial Free by Mail,

Cuticura Soap and Ointment are not
Only most valuable for the treatment Of
pimples, blackheads, redness and rough
ness, dandruf and irrtated scalps, but
their great mission is to prevent such
conditions. Cuticura Soap used exclu-
sively for the toilet and Cuticura Oint-
mcnt occasionally as needed keep the
skin and scalp clean, clear and healthy.
My face and neck were ruined with
pimples and bIackheadS. The pimples
were hard and red, and would itch and
burn so badly could hardly sleep at
night. When | scratched them, erup-
tons as large as a pea began to come
on my face, and Twas ashamed to go out
doors. Mywhole face was disfgured.
Il had been suffering about FIVE weeks
before began using Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. A free sample gave me
relief so bought more, and one box Of
CuuCura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura
Ointment completely healed my face.

Georgetown.

urban line and carried no freight, hence
could not properly come under the super
vision of the commission.
This answer was made as a response to
the protest of c. Elton James and others
who sought the restoration Of transfer
privileges. In the reply the road states
that the practice was stopped because of

partments and bureaus afHlisted with
the Federal Employees Union Of the
District met last night in Perpetual
Hall and drafted a resolution which
will be forwarded to President Wilson
today. asking for a continuation Of

preted the act to apply only to the
banks The Attorney General was
asked for a construction, and he ruled
that all Federal employees came under
the reading of the bill.

Two generations ago 1t was a handful

The movement which this associa ton

If anybody asks himself what does
this gathering force mean" II he knows
anything about the history of the country.

with COnquering power.
Il get a little impatient sometimes
about the discussion about the channels
and methods by which It is to prevail
1t is going to prevail, and that is A
very superficial and ignorant view of it
which attributes 1t to mere social I'M
rest 1t is not merely because the
women are disconnected. It IS because
the women have seen visions Of duty.
and that is something which we not

II have come to suggest among other

to Nut Growers,

The sessions Of the two-day convention
Of the Northern Nut Growers Association
will end today.
Members Of the association, pioneers OF
the nut Industry, which Is still in the ex-
perimental stage, yesterday visited the
many beautiful walnut trees Of Washing
ton, and attended morning and evening
sessions in the New National Museum.
Prof. J. Russell Smith, OF the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, president, spoke
on how the investment of a crop Of trees
should be insured by placing on the same
ground another planting Of trees and
holding It in reserve for use in case the
first planting should die. He also said
that he thought that North America was
undergoing a period Of phenomenal &C
tivity on the part OF plant enemies, in
troduced with new plants from foreign
countries, like the San Jose scale and
the chestnut blight from China and ia

DISPOSAL OF GUARD
PUZZLES DEPARTMENT

Secretary OF War Baker, when seen
yesterday, could not state whether the
District National Guard organization now
in Camp Ordway, will be sent to the
border, mustered out, or held IN camp.
This would seem to indicate that the
disposition Of the District troops Ia not
yet determined, and that any statements
that have ben made as to their departure
At any definite time are rumors.
One Officer at the War Department gave
rs his personal opinion that all the mi
ttia would be mustered out In six weeks.

ing notice on the departing legislators
that he would insist upon the passage of

sional session.
Senator owen finally dropped his fight
for a corrupt practices act. This was
done, he said, in the interest of adjourn
ment, but he asserted, in a short speech,
that he would press for action on the
bill at the next session OF Congress
Senator Lewis introduced a resolution
seeking to have the State Department
furnish information as to why European
diplomatic agents of the nited States
had not furnished more Information to
mands made on China by Japan. He
said they were singularly silent The
resolution was not even considered.
Senator MARITIME tried to have con-
sideration Of his resolution requiring the
State Department to furnish information
relative to the delayed message from the
Senate, urging clemency for Sir Roger
Easement. The motion was referred TO
the Foreign Relations Committee.
Senator Nelson. Republican, offered a
resolution thanking Vice President Mar
shall for his impartial conduct OF the
business of the Senate. Mr.. Marshall
said that he had always thought that he
! could never remain silent, but that he
had learned, during his term as presiding
| officer, that silence was golden. He
! spoke further. in his usual happy vein,
concluding with the observation that we
