New York, Aug. 24s-NeW YORK
will require I 200 white slaves for the
year 1917 and thousands more will
be wanted for other cities of the
country, according to estimates made
by officials conducting a white slave
investigation here!
Yushe Botwin, called the king of
e the White Slavers," has confessed,
the officials say, that he has been
procurer Of girls for q years and
that 1000 girls are sold each year in
New York alone. He did. not esti-
mate how many thousand are sold in
other cities.
How these thousands of slaves are
procured and who proc1Tes them has
been brought out in the investiga-
ton. The same methods will be used
to secure the thousands wanted for
1917 if the agents are able to Oper-
ate as they have in the past.
They will be procured by men who
make the procuring of girls their
business. They will come from the
small cities, country districts, re-
spectacle families and from among
the girls coming into the United
States from other countries. D..
Traffic in white slaves has been
found to extend throughout the
United States from New York to San
Francisco, by devious routes through
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, New
Orleans and Denver. .r..-
Agents engaged in the traffic lay in
wait for foreign girls who arrive in
New York, friendIess and alone.
Many are procured.
Other agents, according to reVela-
tons made in the investigation, OPP
crate in small cities and country dis
tricts where girls are induced to
leave homes, schools and factories
on promise Of easy life in big cities,
then turned over to resort keepers.

she got into the criminal courts
building where the authorities had
Botwin confined, talked with him and
secured an insight of the character
of this man who for q years has
made business of turning girls into
lives of shame.
Miss Andrews also secured the
other side of the story-the side of
the white slave. She interviewed
Rose Scherer, who fell into the
clutches of an agent when she was
on her way to this country from Rus
STA and through his operations was
on the way to a life of shame before
her ship landed at Ellis Island. The
two sides Of the story are herewith
presented:

WHITE SLAYER SEEN BY WOMAN
WRITER AS HUMAN BUZZARD"

BY Esther Andrews
A rough hand pushed me into a
small room in the criminal courts
building.
AS l turned 1 met the quiet watch
full eyes of little gray man, hUdd1ed
in an arm chair in one corner
Yushe Botwin, white SLAYER!
He did not move, but as walked
to a chair beside him, his eyes, alert
and watching, followed me slowly.
He was like many another east side
type, small, heavy-shouldered, with
long ape-like arms and gnarled
hands.
He had the fiat, low-browed head
Of the ape, short gray hair, shaggy
gray eyebrows and a closely trimmed,
tobacco-stained grey moUstache.
His under lip protruded slightly.
With a quick movement, he drew
his chair close to mine, thrust his
face forward and peered into my
face. No shifting guilty glance was
this.
Guilt?
Yushe Botwin has no idea of guilt
because he has no conception Of
crime. Without soul, he is without
shame.

that they had turned bandits because
they couldn't get into the unions.
'The story failed to mention or to

would never claim that he is an ideal

And some gents should be sta
toned on the coaching line with
ability and aIeTtness to direct the
flying feet of the baserURner. No
more should any such events be per-
petrated as that of Monday, when
John Collins was held at third base
by Eddie Murphy's direction on a
single to center field that should cas-
lily have scored him.
There are several good teams in
the American league this year. 1t
is not a one-club organization, and
only good baseball every step of the
way will bring desired results in the
winning column.
Notice that the Cubs have edged
themselves out Of the second divi-
sion of the National league.
The difference between the good
showing the North SideTs are max
ing on the eastern trip and the dole
full results that marked their opera
lions here is the difference between
good and bad pitching.
In four games in the east they
have received three excellentIy
twirled battles, Vaughn, Packard
and Mcconnell each turning in
brand of ball that could only be
downed by shutouts. Vaughn did
make one bad start in Boston and
that was the only game the Cubs
have spilled so far.
Now, if Seaton can come to the
aid of this already considerable hurl-
ing trio, Tinker will have four men
for box work, and each is sturdy
enough to stand a bit of work once
in every four afternoons. In fact
each is the kind of a fellow who
needs a, lot of work in order to be at
his best
Behind this fine pitching the team |
has been playing bright and alert |

The Cubs, like the Giants, never
should have stayed in the second di-
vision for such an extended period.
They were playing fine ball every
step of the way, but could not over
come the pUnkness of the pitching
that was provided. If this good box
work prevails over a few weeks
Tinker will get his people up in the
fight and they will stay there.
Alex ZwiIIing played right field in
place of Flack, who has been con-
founded by southpaws in recent
games. Alex is liable to keep the
job for a few days, anyway. The
Cubs beat a southpaw who has trou-
bled them in the past. Cy Williams,
Zim and Mccarthy each poled three
hits off Rixey. The Cubs have seen
so much of the wrong-handed, fling
ers lately they no longer puzzle.
Hugh Jennings is having some
good pitching and the Tigers made it
four straight by licking Boston.
Dauss held Red Sox to three hits.
Cobb, Heilman and Young batted
Gregg atthe right time.
Giants still have trouble at home.
MamaUx held them to five hits and
Pirates won. It was the first defeat
for RUDE Benton this season. Hinch-
man made three hits.
Slim SalIee throttIed Braves with
four hits. Bescher's triple off Ru-
dOIph scored both Cardinal runs.
Three Red pitchers were easy for
Brooklyn: Daubert hit a homer and
single. Reds hits Pfeffer harm but
failed to bunch walops.
Jack Britton outpointed Mike
ODowd of st. Paul in II rounds at
Boston. Britton far Outweighed his
opponent, and the crowd laughed
when his weight was announced as
147 pounds. He appeared to be Is
pounds heavier than ODOwd.
