WHITE SLAVE LAW
UPHELD By COURT.
7RosEcUTIoNs FOR TRANsPoR'
ING WOMEN ARE NOT LIMITED
TO coMMERcIALIzEo VICE.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
Following INTERPRETATION OF the Mann
Act Court Affirmed Convictions OF
L. 7. Hays, Of Alva, OKLA and
MI, Blsss Of Sacramento Cal

Washington Interpreting the
Mann white slave law, the Supreme
Court decided that prosecutions under
he law for transporting women in in
.erstate commerce are not limited to
commercialized vice, and Includes
personal immoral escapades. Conylc-
ton of F. Drew Caminetti and Maury
| Diggs of Sacramento, was affirmed.
Following Interpretation OF the
Mann act, the court also affirmed con
yiction of L. T. Hays of Alya, Okla.
The court was divided. The major
ity opinion was given by Justice Day.
Chief Justice White and Justices Nc
Kenna and Clarke dissented. Justice
McReynolds took no part in consider
alton of the cases.
"The plain terms Of the act must
take precedence over the designation
and the report that accompanied it to
Congress-" said Justice Day. ut is
said it will open the door to black
mail, but that it 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 csc of this
statute"
Justice McKenna announced the dis,
sent, but did not deliver any opinion.
Justice Days minority opinion
said:
"In none Of the cases was it charg-
ed or proved that the transportation
(of the women involved was for gain
or for the purpose of furnishing wo-
men 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
the first instance be sought in the
language of the act as framed and if
that is plain the sole function of the
courts is to enforce it according to
its terms.
"TO cause woman to be transport
ed for debauchery or for an immoral
purpose, for which Diggs and Cami.
netti were convicted, would seem by
the very statement of the facts to
embrace transportation for purposes
denounced by the act While such i'm,
moral purpose would be culpable in
morals, if accompanied with expecta,
tion of gain, such considerations do
not prevent the lesser offense against
morals from the execution of purposes
within the meaning Of the law. To
say to the contrary would shock the
common understanding of what con.
stitutes an immoral purpose"

MUNITION FACTORY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
BLAST OF CANADIAN FOUNDRY
CO. CONTINUED TWO HOURS
WORKMEN WERE IN PANIC.

New York.-It is believed by Jersey
City officials that the loss Of life was
heavy in the explosion in the Cana
dian Car Foundry Company plant at
Kingston, Bergen county, All availa-
BILE police wagons and three ambu,
lances in Kingston were hurried to
the scene of the explosion, the chief
Of police taking charge in person of
the rescue workers. Damage to wire
communication hindered the trans
mission of reports of the disaster
The flames continued to spread in
directions where more explosives
were stored. The lives of 700 men
were in great danger.
Telephone communication with the
vicinity was impossible. Police, sur
geons and nurses were sent to the
scene from nearby communities.
Half frozen woTkmen from the plant
reached Jersey City after a perilous
trip over the Hackensack Meadows
which was their only escape, They
said they feared some of their fellow
workmen had lost their lives. but had
no definite information. Flames from
small explosion in one part of the
plant spread with amazing rapidity
they said.
Between 200 and 800 employees Of
the plant, who fled to escape the ex-
plosions, are reported to have broken
through the ice in Berry Creek, and it
is feared some Of them have been
drowned Others are wandering
through the Hackensack meadows,
lost in the darkness and fugitives said
some Of them might perish from the
cold.
The plight Of those who had tried
to cross the frozen creek and had met
with disaster was related to DR.. George
w. King, superintendent of the Hud-
son County Hospital for the Insane, by
Israel Williams, workman at the
plant who arrived at the asylum hat
less, coatless and almost frozen.
After the man had been given warm
food and drink he revived sufficiently
to say that many must have been
drowned in the creek, and that others,
too weak to continue their fight, had
dropped from exhaustion in the
meadows
Dr. King said that unless searching
parties were organized promptly there
would be no estimating how many
might die, as it would be impossible
for those lost in the darkness to find
their way out Of the meadows.
The asylum buildings, about two
miles from the scene of the fire, were
being shaken intermttently, he said.

ROUMANIANS GAIN

CAPTURE TRENCHES OF TEU'
TONS AFTER VIOLENT BATTLE
WITH AUSTRO.GERMANS.

Petrograd Roumanian forces in
the region of the River KasinO, in
Moldavia, after a violent battle with
Austro- German troops, succeeded in
throwing the Teutons back and occu-
pying the trenches, says the Russian
official statement. North Of the SLAM
ic River the invaders forced back the
Russians from a height.
The official statement follows:
"Roumanian front; The enemy
pressed back our detachments from
one of the heights north of The River
SlaniC
Enemy attacks against the height
south of the River Oituz were re-
pulsed.
"Roumanians attacked the enemy
west of MonestarKachinul, on the

MORE MONEY FOR
BATTLE CRUISERS
SECRETARY DANIELS DETAILS
NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRI.
VATE SHlPBUlLDERS.
APPROPRIATION TOO SMALL
Secretary Says s1s,5oo,oOo Needed
For Each of the Proposed Ships
Bid Of Newport News Com
pany Most Attractive.

Washington. - Secretary Daniels
carried to the House naval committee
the problem of getting under construc-
tion the four battle cruisers already
authorized for the navy.
Details as to negotiations with pr
vate shipbuilding were laid before the
committee with the definite statement
that the ships could not be built in
private plants for less than $1S,5OO 600
each, or $4,000 600 more than the fixed
cost. A preliminary estimate for navy
n yard construction, submitted by AS
sistant Secretary Roosevelt, was ST.
100000, but Secretary Daniels said
that a formal estimate would be fur
nished later.
Paymaster George Auld, who ex-
amined the books of the Fore River
Newport News and Cramps Shipbuild-
ing companies, told the committee
that in preparing to take contracts on
the basis Of cost and a percentage of
profit the companies estimated mate
rial for each vessel at S1O,O00,O0
labor at $4,OOOOOO and overhead ex-
penses at $2,5OO,OOQ, taking up the
entire s16,500,OOO limit of cost, to
which profit and extra expenses would
be added. Paymaster Auld pointed
out that the cost of material year
or two ago would have been about
S6,OOO,OOO, and argued that in fixing
their profit builders had figured on
collecting a percentage on the $4,000.
600 in fation.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt told
Of negotiations with the steel makers
concerning material for the ships, say
ing they had agreed to reduction of
SS37436 per ship, or a total reduction
of $3,349,744 on all four, ships, pro
vided the four were exactly alike.
He pointed out that examination Of
the Fore River Ship Company's tenta
tive contracts showed that the bulk of
its steel orders would go to the Car
negie Steel Company, although the
plant is controlled by the Bethlehem
Steel Company, because of the lower
figures quoted by the Carnegie plant.
Representative Padgett, chairman
of the committee, asked Secretary
Daniels if saving could be made by
putting the ships in government
yards. The secretary thought it proba-
Bile. He said that under the cost and
profit plan the private builders would
collect profit on manufactured ma.
terial, such as the electric drive ma.
chinery to go in the ships, although
the government made the purchase
and paid for the labor The depart
ment has asked for an additional $12,-
100000 to equip its yards for con
struction work.
