LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, April 2S.-(special.)-It is im- possible to live in Manhattan and not be- come Manhattanized. I know not a few real southerners here who roll their ''r's'' more-but less musically-than a French man. Even the animals show the ef- feet of their environment.
 Take the friendly dog, for instance: New York streets are full of dogs, muzzled or in leash, and now and then there is one which is running free. It is my inclina- ton to speak to all dogs, but here one must be oareful-the owner may think you are attempting to "alienate the dog s affections.
 Several days ago I saw a beautiful col- lie on Broadway. He was seated on the sidewalk near his master, who was hold ing 8 sidewalk argument with an ac- quaintance. In my very best dog lan- guage, I spoke to the collie, indicated that I liked him and would like to be friends. I backed this up with the sign and sound language of the fingers, but his dogship merely turned his head slowly, and gave me a look that absolutely "crushed" me. In it there was utter contempt combined with complete indifference It said as plain as words, How bourgeoise! How ever, 1t is only the canaille who fail to show proper respect to canine aristoc- racy.'
 But here's the strange coincidence: Only yesterday I met, on another uptown thor oughfare, one Stuart Holmes, known to practically all the world as heavy in the movies, especially since he has been working with Robert Mantell for William Fox. MT. Holmes, big. blonde and bearn-

LESSON IN WHITE
 SLAVE PICTURES
Mrs. Sommerville Gives Data From Her Years of
 Experience in Work

The data and lecture accompanying the photoplay, '"The Inside of the White Slave Traffic. now being shown at the Jefferson theatre. is causing much comment among those interested in social welfare. Mrs. Hary H. Som merville is known as the Woman Billy Sunday" for she does not believe in vanishing over the facts that prompt ed the author, Samuel H. London, for mer investigator of white slavery for the department of justice at Washing ton, D. C., to produce this realistic drama. MT. London toured Europe, Asia, the orient, North and South America in his investigation work and his report covered the records of over 36,000 women and 1900 men engaged in this business.
 Mrs. Sommerville, who has lectured this subject for the past six years throughout the United States and Gam ada, is the widow of E. Sommerville, statesman of Virginia. She was in the employ of the Mutual Life Insur- ance company of New York for 10 years in a capacity that required her to investigate the underworld condi- tions in order to understand the col bring of dope fiends and other social sins that had invaded the ranks of society as a protection to the com pany's interests before turning appli- cations over to physicians, which in- vestigation was carried on under the protection of plain clothes detectives This work so forcibly impressed upon her a responsibility to humanity that she severed her connection with the Mutual Life and mounted the lecture platform with the object of arousing interest throughout our country that would be instrumental in establishing a national campaign to suppress this inhuman destruction of young girls.
 Should the interest continue to be aroused here as in all other cities when this picture has appeared the management announces a continuous programme for Sunday from 1 to II D. m.

ing was leading dog. When we met the dog. without waiting for recognition from me, jumped on my leg and licked my hand Returning the cares-with my hand-I asked, Where did you get your dog, MT. Holnes?'
 "Oh, Little Lub,'' he said, calling his dogs odd name, why I bought him from party in Alabama, when was working there with Lubin.'
 I almost felt like saying, T knew it. :" You see Alabamians almost always rec ognize each other. But MT. Holmes statement was perfectly true. We had met in Birmingham when he was there with a Lubin company, which was located in hotel on a mountain top south or the city. They took but few pictures. one of which was called 'The White Feather and was later shown at one of the Birmingham moving picture thea tres. It was not a great success. In one scene of this picture MT. Holmes had to leap across real chasm, but Just be- low the range of the camera a platform had been built in, which fact made pos sible our recent meeting.
 A United States man-o'-war is now anchored off the foot of One Hundred and Ninth street, in the Hudson river. AL though New Workers have seen battle ships many times there is always a crowd around the foot of One Hundred and Ninth street looking at this one. It is the influence of war; and the probability of war, under which this country Is now resting.

THE INSIDE OF THE WHITE
 SLAVE TYR FFTC,,

Tiff any one in this audience expects to become offended at whatever I might say, must admit do not care for such a modest audience" an- nounced Mrs. M. H. Sommerville at the Jefferson theatre last night, as she began to explain parts of the pic- ture which had just been shown, en- titled, "The Inside of the White Slave Traffic.
 The Inside of the White Slave Traffic" purports to be an expose of the methods used by procurers and cadets in recruiting the ranks of those engaged in organized vice. It has the indorsement of many promi- nent sociologists, and is intended to be educational. in that it informs those who see it of how they may be ap preached some day
 The production has a very definite plot, which hinges about a procurer and his methods He finally comes to grlef, however, and the play ends with the procurer handcuffed to a secret service agent
 Mrs. Sommerville is earnest in her desire for remedying of vice condi- tlons, and is convincing in her argu- ments against it. That a nationwide move for it's elimination is a con summation much to be desired is pat ent.

The stories are much like the new Wallingford stories, with the diff ference that the girls right moral wrongs instead of financial wrongs.

TREViN0 AGAIN WARNS
PERSHING AGAINST MOVES

Ell PASO, Texas, June 23.-Des-
patches from the City OF Chihuahua
received here last night reported that
Gen. Trevfno, commanding the Next
can forces stationed at Villa Ahuma-
da, has issued another warning to the
American troops now in Mexico
against attempting to move in any d.
rection other than toward the border
The reports quote the Mexican COM
mander as having announced that
should Gen. Pershing attempt to send
any of his men south, east or west, 1t
would be necessary for the de facto
government to strike again"
In conclusion, according to the des-
patches, the statement says that in the
event of movement in any of the for
hidden directions, by the American
force, Trevino would find himself
compelled to obey the commands Of
his superior officers and attack the
Americans exactly as he had done at
