PLAN PROSECUTION
OF BLACKMAILERS
[Contlnued From First Pagel

per. of Philadelphia. in the Federal
Court in New York City. The de-
PENDANTS in the case probably will
be removed to New York Immediately
for trial which is expected to begin
in month.
The cases of the other alleged black
mailers are expected to also be pressed
for early trial. 1t is possible that
other arrests will be made soon. ac-
cording to A. Bruce Bielaski, head of
the Bureau of Investigation of the De-
partment of Justice.
Refusal of witnesses to testify re-
suited in the release of some of the
prisoners in Chicago, but If necessary
in the interest of justice the Attorney
General may order the cloak of secrecy
thrown aside and protection of the
names of those involved may be with
drawn.
1t was declared at the conference
that operations, of blackmailerS under
the Mann law have increased enor-
mously in the past year, and that the
men and women arrested in Chicago
are but a few of those who are said
to be working this new game.
Revision of the Mann law, which
was originally designed to prevent and
punish 'commercialized vice. is fore
shadowed by recent developments in
Washington Federal attorneys in all
the large cities have pointed out that
they are unable to cope with the situa-
ton created by the Mann law, which
lends itself to all sorts of blackmail-
ing schemes.
Thousands of women, not identified
with any bands of swindlers, are
known to have used the Mann law to
force the payment of heavy tribute
from prominent men, but no way has
been found to deal with these indi-
vidual cases of criminality.
There are indications of more ar
rests pending, especially in some of
the larger eastern cites. and a num-
ber of suspects not yet in custody are
under surveillance of Federal agents.
The opinion was expressed by some of
the officials in Washington that the
publicity which the blackmailing con-
spiracy has received should have an
excellent educational and preventative
effect

Many Wealthy prospects"

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept 21.-Wealthy
men and women of Chicago who un-
der the spell of some cafe infatuation
or in a moment of temptation and
champagne have broken the conven-
tions of society's decalogue, were card
indexed for ready reference by the
suave swindlers of the blackmail syn
dicate exposed by the raid on an
apartment last Saturday.
This card index was captured in the
apartment of one of the alleged crimi-
nails. This is on the authority of one
or the detectives who took part in the
raid.
The list in the hands of the sharp

least twenty names, all of people of
wealth and some social distinction. If
these names were made public-and

ROTARY CLUB QUICK
TO ENTER CAMPAIGN
[Continued From First Pagel

continue to grow and develop as it has
in the past decade.
The Rotary committee rolled its big
guns into position and is to-day bring
ing up every pl2n at its command to
make the dash that is expected to cap
ture thousands of dollars for the great
enterprise. The club has had many
successes and not one failure. 1t is
preparing to make the most deter
mined effort of its history to meet the
appeal of the hotel committee of the
Chamber of Commerce for cooperation
in putting over the greatest public en-
terpTise since the adoption of the first
improvement loan by the people.
The committee met at the offices of
John S. Musser, the chairman, in the
rear of the Dauphin Electrical Sup
plies Company's store at 434 Market
street about four hours after the an
nouncement of its appointment Presi-
dent Howard c. Fry was among those
present Mr.. Musser addressed the
members briefly on the necessity of
prompt and vigorous action. I'VE have
been assigned to a very important
work" said he. "and it is desirable
that we go about it quickly and effect
lively. The Rotary Club stands for ac-
tion and it is up to us to show our
mettle. 1t is true that enough money
has been subscribed to insure the erec-
tion of the hotel. but it would be a
great thing for the town and highly
beneficial to the stockholders if it could
be said that the people of the city
went down into their pockets for q
round million dollars and built the
hotel without one cent of Indebtedness
standing out against it."
The committee decided that it would
make each member chairman of q
subcommittee and selected two mem
bers of the club to act with each of
these chairmen in making a roundup
of the club membership and to report
progress at a meeting of the commit
lee at Mr.. Musser's offices next Tues
day evening.
After each member of the club has
been visited by the committeeman a
report will be made to the Chamber of
Commerce committee and the Rotary
committee will cooperate with that
body in making a general roundup of
the city.
President Fry promised whatever
assistance he could give the committee
and expressed his thanks for the
prompt response of the members to
the call for meeting. The following
letter was delivered by special mes
senger this afternoon to each of the
members of the committee of twelve:
