INDIVIDUAL GUILT
 IN WHITE SLAVERY
Supreme Court Finds Statute Is
 Sweeping in Character
JUSTICES NOT UNANIMOUS
CoInmcrciaIized Vice Not Alone In- cluded in Mann Act-PersonaI Im- moral Escapades Come Under Law -Californians Guilty.


 Washington, Jan. 15.-Interpreting the Mann White Slave law, the su- preme court today decided that prose- cutions under the law for transport ing women interstate commerce are not limited to commercialized vice and include personal immoral es- capades Conviction of F. Drew Cam lnett1 and Maury I. Diggs of Sacra- mento was confirmed.
 The court also affirmed conviction of l.. T. Hays of Alva, Okla.
 The court was divided. The .major- lty opinion was given by Justice Day. Chief Justice White and Justices Me- kenna and Clarke dissented. Justice McReynolds took no part in consider ation of the cases.
 The plain terms of the act must take procedure over the designation and the report that accompanied it to congress-" said Justice day "It is said 1t will open the door to black mail, but that is to be considered by congress. We think the power of congress to regulate transportation of passengers affords ample basis to ex- ercise authority in the case of this statute.'
 Justice McKenna announced the dissent, but did not deliver any opin- ion.
 Justice Day's Decision.
 Justice Days majority opinion fol- lows:
 In none of the cases was it charged or proved that the transpor- tat1on (of the women involved) was for gain or for the purpose of fur nlshing women for prostitution for hire
 There is no ambiguity in the terms of this act. It is elementary that the meaning of a statute must in tho first instance be sought in the lan- guage of the act as framed and if that is plain the sole function of the courts to enforce it according to it's terms.
 Tn regard to a woman transported for debauchery for an immoral pur- pose, for which Diggs and Caminetti were convicted its would seem by the very statement of the facts to em- brace transportation for purposes de- nounced by the act. While such inn moral purpose would be more culp- able in morals if accompanied by ex- pectation of gain, such considerations do not prevent the lesser offense against morals from the execution of purposes within thu meaning of the law. To say to the contrary would shock the common understanding of what constitutes an immoral pur- pose"
 As to the Women.
 Whether the women involved be- come technically accomplices, as argued in behalf of the defendants, was not definitely decided by the court It disposed of that feature as follows:
 ''It is urged as a further ground of reversal of the judgments below that the trial court did not instruct the jury that the testimony of the two girls was that of accomplices and to be received with great caution and believed only when corroborated by othet testimony adduced' in the case. While this is so, there is no absolute rule of law preventing convictions on the testimony of accomplices if jurors believe them"
