ONE DOLLAR A POUND
PRICE OF YOUNG GIRLS
Terrible Disclosures Made As
to Methods of White
Slavers

New York, Aug. 15.-One dollar a
pound is the price actually paid in sew
eral instances for immature young
girls auctioned off by white slavers
to proprietors of disorderly resorts in
New York, Assistant District Attorney
Smith, prosecuting the campaign
against the vice trust, declared to-
day.
From men and women now under ar
rest and awaiting trial, Smith has OBJ
tanned the most amazing confessions of
the workings Of the white slave gang.
Not only did they Systematically SET
about to obtain school girls for re-
sorts, but ON east 22nd street, they
maintained a house, where young girls,
sometimes partly and sometimes com
pletely disrobed were sold to the
highest bidder.
awe learned today that in one in
stance, agents for two disorderly
houses got into a dispute over the
value of a girl who had been put up
for sale." said the assistant district
attorney. "They finally agreed upon
price of dollar pound. After that
it became a common practice to weigh
all girls and announce their weight to
bidders.'
Are Auctioned Nude.
Information regarding the white slave
auction was obtained after the arrest
of Dubitz Zubier, alias David Parish
and his wife, Kate Parish, in the 22nd
street house. The district attorney s
office is investigating reports that
other similar places were maintained.
1t was recalled today that only few
months ago a minister's daughter was
kidnapped and auctioned off nude be-
fore a gang in an Italian dance hall.
The vice trust now under fire, did
not by any means. confine its activi-
ties to New York, Smith said. Most of
the girls were obtained from poor
families here. Some of them were kept
in New York resorts, but others were
shipped to Chicago and Western cities
The trust maintained representatives in
several eastern towns.
In one instance, Smith learned, the
earnings of young girl in one resort
totalled 1902 for week. She re-
ceived 1922 of this amount, but was
forced to pay 1920 to the white slave
auctioneer or "geschetor" and $25 for
board. The proprietress of the resort
received $15l in addition to the $25 for
board.

SEWARD, April 29. - The Anchor age Labor Union, after lengthy ses- sion, voted to reject the award of the government arbitration board, pro viding for a new wage scale for the workers on the government railroad. The union has not disclosed the exact figures of the vote, the officials only announcing that they had decided to remain on strike until better schedules were offered. The stumbling block is the award of $3.36 a day for com mon laborers. The men ask for wage of fifty cents per hour. It is reported that the employees of the Seward division are satisfied with the award, and will accept the schedule offered, and that there will be no strike at this end.

The deck of the bridge is still Rtact, but until the ice floes let up / it is hard to forecast what further damage may result to the structure.

Repairing is at a standstill until this ice moves, and it may be some time before the bridge is again put in repair.

Some such rendezvous comes to be associated with almost every expeditionary war The bar of Shepherds Hotel in Cairo was the place through which everyone passed sooner or later in the time of the Sudan campaigns; the Rand Club at Johannesburg fulfilled a similar function in South Africa. Here the same unexpected greatness has been thrust upon Floca's, so that it's name will always remain in the memory of those told off to spend this tedious winter at Saloniki.
 FloCa's in peace times was just a commonplace cafe, with no more than the modest distinction of being the best establishment in Saloniki Here on an ordinary week day were to be found sprinkling of Levantine gen tlemen, drinking Turkish coffee while they discussed with fluent gesture the latest political rumors from Athens.

The rebels have concentrated on the tops of the flat roofed houses, where they can fire down on the soldiers in compara- tive security, hiding behind the chim- news. The soldiers find it difficult to effectively reply to this style of fighting. The disaffected district is in the centre of the city, and is strong ly guarded by the soldiers. The out lying districts are picketed so as to nip in the bud any effort of the citizens to assist the rebels. The whole town presents the appearance of an armed camp fighting with itself, as the in termittent rattle of infantry fire can be heard at frequent intervals.
