 WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The federal white slave law was con strued by the supreme court today to prohibit interstate transporta- ton of women for any immoral purpose, including private escap- ades as we'll as commerciaIized vice.
 In three test cases the court in a divided opinion affirmed convic- tions of F. Drew Caminetti and Maury |. Diees, Of Sacramento, Cal, and L. T. Hays, of Ava, Okla. The imprisonment sentences and fines will become effective within thirty days.
 The court divided five to three in broadly interpreting the law en- acted in 19t0 Chief Justice White and Justices McKenna and Clark, in minority opinion, held that congress intended to have the law apply only to actual traffic in women and not to personal immor- alities- Justice MsReynolds, who was attorney general curing pros ecution of Cam lnetti and Diggs, took no part in the cases.
 The majority opinion, given by Justice Day, held shat while con gross may have intended the law to prohibit only traffic in women for pecuniary gain, its plain terms include interdietion Of their trans portation flor any other immoral purpose If # was not 50 intend ed, the majority report said, 1t was congress junction, not the courts, 10 amend the law.
 Wider scope in enforcing the law now IS open to the department of justice, which eontended for the broader interpretation. The ruling affects many pending cases, includ- ing that of Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, who IS a fugitive from justice.
 Whether the law makes "accon- pices' of women involved in per sons esespades was not definitely decided by the court, but their tes- tlmony against men indicted was held as permlssIb bie.
 In the test cases, Caninetti was sentenced to eighteen months i'm prisonnent and fined s1,500; Digos 10 two years and a S2,000 fine and Hays 10 eighteen months inn prisonrent.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - In- Juity was addressed to Germany today by the state department as to the truth of press reports that German authorities had asked all neutral diplomats to leave Bucha- rest Rumana, and had provided for that purpose a special tram. Official information is desired so American Minister Vopicka can he authorized to depart if neces- sary. No instructions have been sent him since he was ordered at ,he time ot the fall of Bucharest to stay in Rumania.
 Officials are at a less to under stand why the German govern inent should wish to send the whole neutral diplomatic corps out of the captured Rumanian capital, though # IS admitted she hassthe legal right to do so. A minister IS accredited to a government and not to a place, but officials here believe that some representative of neutral governments must re- main in Bucharest, not only to represent their own national ln- terests, but also to re epresent those of the allied governments who nave turned over their affairs m Rumania to them.
 Diplomacy offers little precedent for such a request as Germanys despite it's legal justification. In the case of Belgium, # IS recalled, Germany did not ask for with drawa Of Brand Whitlock, the American minister thsre after the Belgium government had with drawn to Havre, France, but con iinucd to recognize him m semi official way. 1t was expected that much the same arrangement would hold Rumaala.
