WHITE SLAVE LAW
 UPHELD BY COURT
PROSECUTIONS FOR TRANsPoR. ING WOMEN ARE NOT LIMITED
 TO COMMERClALlZED VICE.
JOHN w. GARRETT.

Washington. Interpreting the Mann white slave law, the Supreme Court decided that prosecutions under the law for transporting women in in- terstate commerce are not limited to commercialized vice, and includes personal immoral escapades. Convic- tion of F. Drew Caminetti and Maury I Diggs of Sacramento, was affirmed.
 Following interpretation of the Mann act, the court also affirmed con- yiction of l.. T. Hays of Ava, Okla
 The court was divided. The major ity opinion was given by Justice Day. Chief Justice White and Justices Mc- McReynolds took no part in consider ation 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. Tt is said it will open the door to black mail, but that 1t 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 ambuiguity in the terms of this act. It is elementary hat the meaning of statute must in he first instance be sought in the anguage of the act as framed and if hat is plain the sole function of the rourts is to enforce it according to ts terms.
 ITO cause woman to be transport sd 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

SECRETARY DANIELS DETAILS NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRI-

Secretary Says $1s,5ooooo Needed Fer 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- ton the four battle cruisers already authorized for the navy
 Details as to negotiations with ~pri- yate shipbuilding were laid before the committee with the definite statement that the ships could not be built in private plants for less than 18,500, 900 each, or $2,000. 900 more than the fixed cost. A preliminary estimate for navy yard construction. submitted by As sistant Secretary Roosevelt, was ST. 500,000, but Secretary Daniels said that 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 percentage of profit, the companies estimated mate rial for each vessel at $10,000, GOO, labor at $4,00o00o and overhead ex- penses at $2,500, ,000 taking up the entire s16,50o,oo0 limit of cost, to which profit and extra expenses would be added. Paymaster Auld pointed out that the cost of material a year or two ago would have been about $6,000,000, and argued that in fixing their profit builders had figured on collecting percentage on the $4.00o.. 900 in fiation.
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt told of negotiations with the steel makers concerning material for the ships, say ing they had agreed to a reducton of SS37,436 per ship, or a total reduction of S3,349,744 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,s asked Secretary Daniels if saving could be made by putting the ships in government yards. The secretary thought it proba ble. He said that under the cost an6 profit plan the private builders woule collect profit on manufactured ma terial, such as the electric drive ma chinery to go in the ships, although the government made the purchas, and paid for the labor The depart ment has asked for an additional SIP. 100000 to equip it's yards for con struction work.
