which girls were lured to disorderly

"Shop girls were given tickets to

said that he often made as much as
$500 a week, representing commission
of 10 per cent on the earnings of in

were not allowed to remain in one
house longer than two weeks. He
claimed that the money he received in

spent otherwise foolishly."
Mr.. Smith said that he believed the
key to the whole white slave situation

PROTEST AGAINST
BULL FOOSE TICKET

Whether one political party may
hold two separate and distinct assem-
blies for the same specific purpose, is
,, question which will have to be set
tied before Secretary of State Ramer
determines whether there will be Pro-
gressive as well as Republican and
Democratic tickets in the primary cleo
tion Sept. IL. - =.-
Upon the decision also depends the
acceptance or rejection of the ticket
designating candidates for state office,
which was filed Saturday by Progress
sives, who the night before held
rump assembly after the regularly
called Progressive assembly voted to
place no ticket in the field and ad-
journed sine die.
Benjamin Griffith of Grand Junction,
who presided at the Progressive state
assembly, has protested against the ac-
ceptance by the secretary Of state of
any ticket in the name of the Progress
sive party. Griffith, who is former
attorney general of the state, holds
that DR.. C. E. Fisher of Sterling aod
other Bull Moosers, who comprised the
rump assembly gathering, are without
legal authority to affix the Progressive
party name to ticket.
Secretary of State Ramer has so far
refused to accept the ticket, but before
taking final action will request an
opinion from the attorney general.
The gathering which named the So
called Bull Moose ticket was held in
tho form of mass meeting, according
to statements made by those who at
tended. Their designations, they said,
were to be made by initiated petitions.
When the names were presented to the
secretary of state, however, they were
in the form of one ticket, sworn to as
having been designated by Progress
sive state assembly.
There will be only two candidates in
the primaries other than those named at
the assemblies of the different political
parties. These are Amedee IL. Fri
bourg of Denver, whose name will ap-
pear on the Republican primary ballot
as a candidate for the nomination tor
congress from the First district, and
Samuel Prudential of Trinidad, candi-
date for district attorney of the Third
judicial district. Each has filed an
initiated petition.

FEDERA1. AND STATE
LAWS CONFLICT HERE

Colorado sportsmen are much con
cerned whether the state law, which
permits dove shooting between August
Is and 81, affords any protection
against the penalties of the United
States law which permits no open sea
son on doves at all. By the federal
act the dove is migratory insectivor-
GUS bird and is protected. The state
law therefore affords no excuse for
dove shooting as violation of the
federal law.
However, in the opinion of State
Game Warden Fraser, the federal au-
thorities are going to close their eyes
upon the short season for shooting
doves permitted by the state this year
as they did last year when the Colora-
do sportsmen were not interfered with.
OF course, Game Warden Fraser is not
advising sportsmen to count upon non
interference by the federal authorities.
Individual hunters must shoot upon
their own responsibility and at their
own risk. The state game warden has
nothing to do with the enforcement of
the federal laws.
81 do not think that the federal au-
thorities are much concerned with the
little dove shooting that can be done
between August Is and 3D." said Mr..
Fraser; "but they are very, closely
watching the close of the duck seasons.
The federal law comedies with the
state season from September to De-
cember Is, when the open season pei
mitted by the United States statute
ends. There is conflict between the
national and state law after that, the
open season in Colorado continuing un-
til April 20. If hunters will observe
the duck season under the federal laws,
they need not have much worry about
doves this year. But of course that is
not advice; it is only what 1 think.
Each man must take his own risks"
The state game warden has submit
ted the question of the conflict of eea-
sons under the national and state game
laws to Attorney General Farrar. When
he receives Mr.. Farrar's opinion, he
may recommend that the next legisla-
ture amend the state law so that state
and federal game seasons shall coin-
eide. The attorney generals opinion
is expected in the next few days hut it
will have no bearing on the right of
Colorado sportsmen to violate the ma
tional game laws through an open sea-
son created by the state statute.

CONFESSION OF WHITE SLAYER

New York, Aug. 14.-Youske Bot
traffic in this city, pleaded guilty yes
terday before Judge Rosalsky in gen
eral sessions to one of five indictments.
He was remanded to the Tombs for one
week for sentence. After pleading he
asked permission to make a confession
to the district attorney.
"My friends have deserted me, and
1 am going to tell all l know" said
Botwin later to Assistant District At
torney Smith. 81 have led disgrace
full life and I know it. I wish now
that l was dead.'
Mr.. Smith said that Botwin's con-
fession was one of the most remar rkable
he had ever heard, revealing his con-
nection with the underworld for the last
twenty-five years. According to the
prosecutor, the confession duplicates
about fifty persons, including members
of the police department and two veal
thy and powerful men, one of whom, it
was said, is worth 100000, the other
more than 100000.
No such important revelations re-
garding the underworld and the police.
according to Mr.. Smith, have been un-
earthed since August, 1912, when
Mortche Goldberg, then "King of the
White Slavers," was indicted for keep
ing disorderly house. Goldberg
skipped his bail and fled to South
America, returning to renew his activi-
ties in 1913, but again fled the country
when he got wind that District Attor-
ney Perkins had procured his indict-
ment on similar charge.
The two rich and powerful men I'M
plicated in the confession are Gold
berg's successors, said Mr.. Smith. As
result of Botwin's testimony, he ex.
pected to get additional information,
Mr.. Smith said, from Sam Kirsch,
known as "sam the Peddler," who is
held in the house of detention as a ma
terial witness. 1t is alleged he has
been the go-between for Botwin and the
police. Botwin, according to Mr..
Smith, never dealt directly with any
member Of the police department. s7e
Botwin is 81 years old. He was born
in Austria, and for years has been q
frequenter Of Broadway cafes at night
and the lower east side during the day,
when he posed as poor man. Ha'''
"Botwin,'' said Mr.. Smith, "traced
the history of the vice trust under
Mortche Goldberg when he enjoyed the

to women Of the underworld. He made

would charge $40 for $5 garment,
taking his pay in installments.
"In August, 1912, he said he lost

teen disorderly houses and the inmates
fled. He told of Goldberg's two flights

getaway. He explained the way in
