CAPT. ELDR|DGE
DIED SUNDAY

After an illness of some weeks,
Captain Howard EIdridge, one of the
best known steamboat men in this
and other gulf ports, passed away
at an early hour Sunday fcreno0ns
and the remains win be taken over
to Mobile this morning at $50 o'clock
where the interment will be made.
Deceased is survived by his wife
and one child, besides number of
more distant relatives. The former
were with him at the time of his
demise.
Capt Eldridge, for many years, was
Employed on the Aiken steamers, and
was regarded as one of the most
trusted men in the fleet. His en-
ployer held him in high esteem, and
was with him frequently during his
illness. He was stricken with paraly-
sis some time ago, and never COM
pletely recovered from the attack, lin

Remaining the City Wharyes.

Under the supervision of Joseph
Brown, the different city wharves
are now being repaired. The launch
wharf at the west end of Magnolia
street was practically completed last
night, and the wharf at the west end
of Cedar street was repaired last
week. Some little-work yet remains
to be dones but substantial material
is being used, and the docks will
probably withstand the average hard
weather in the future.

An unconfirmed report last eve

a large vessel had been observed off
the bar, and was evidently anchored
for the night. There are several large
square-riggers about due to show up
here, and a tug will probably be dis
patched at an early hour to bring
the arrival inside if the report is
confirmed this morning by the pilots

IMPORTANT WHITE
SLAVERY DECISION
|NsUPREME COURT

Washington, Nov. 26.-Although
the supreme court had previously up
held constitutionahty of the Mann
white slave law, the question of
whether it prohibits interstate trans
portation Of women only for CONNER
cialized vice or applies to mere per-
sonal immoral escapades having no
element of conamerciaIism or coerc-
ion has been disputed ever since the
laws enactment.
Interpretation by the supreme
court of the disputed point was
asked in the celebrated Diggs- Can't
netti cases and in the case of L.. T.
Hays, of Alva, Okla. In all three
cases, the government conceded,
there was no element of traffic for
gain.
Caminetti was sentenced to 10
months'imprisonmen and fined ST.
500; Diggs to two years and a $4,000
fine, Hays had an Is months prison
sentence. All have been at liberty
under bail.
Lower federal courts, and different
administrations of the department of
justice have differed over the laws
Interpretation. Various women's
clubs and other organizations have
agitated for an Interpretation to curb
all immortality, whether commercial
or not.
Two other important questions
raised were, whether women were
accomplices and, whether men might
be convicted solely upon woman's
uncorroborated testimony.
While Qiggs and Caninetti volun-
tarily gave some testimony they re-
fused some further testimony and
the trial judge instructed the jury to
consider such refusal in reaching
their verdict. Diggs and Caminetti
contended that violated the consti-
tutional clause exempting persons
from testifying against themselves.
The ninth federal circuit court. how
ever, held that, under various prece-
dents, the trial courts charge was
justified, the defendants testifying
voluntarily but only in part.
The defendants contended that
congress never intended to include,
with classification as felons, cffenses
which are misdemeanors in most
states, but aimed the law against
persons transporting women victims
in commercialized white slave traf-
fic.
Although Attorney General Wick
ersha1n, in office when the law was
passed, ruled that it did not apply to
personal escapades, the succeeding adj
ministration held otherwise. The
Second, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth
federal circuit courts of appeal have
sustained the broader Interpretation,
while other federal courts have held
only for the commercial construct
ion.
Diggs and Caminetti were tried
and convicted separately, the former
on August 20, 1913, and the latter on
September 5, 1918. Their cases were
consolidated and affirmed March Is,
1915, by the Ninth circuit court. In
the supreme court all three cases
were advanced, both sides desiring
early settlement of the disputed ques-
tions, and argued together in No
vember, 1916, Assistant Attorney
General Wallace representing the
government and former Senator Bill
ley Of Texas, Marshall B. Woodwork
of San Francisco and Harry O. Glas-
ser of Enid, Okla, the defendants.
Justice McReynolds took no part
in considering the three cases, being
disqualified in having been attorney
general during prosecution of the
three defendants.
