CALIFORNIA WHITE
SLAvERS TO SERVE
FULL SENTENCE
Conviction Of Diggs and
Caminetti Confirmed by
Supreme Court
HIGH COURT INTERPRETS
PROVISIONS OF MANN LAW
important Case Has Been
Fought at Every Point Dur
ing Three Years

Washington, Jan. 15. The supreme
court today held that the Mann white
slave law applies TO non-commeTciai
vice and is constitutional, in upholding
the lower court trial resulting in con-
viction Of Maury l. Diggs, +. Drew
Caminetti and l.. T. Hayes for viola
tions of the law.
The question before the supreme court
was one of Interpretation OF the Mann
law
Diggs and Caminetti, sentenced TO
prison and fined for transporting Lola
Norris and Marsha Warrington to an
other state from California homes,
pleaded in their appeals that the law
was not intended to apply non-eOm-
mercial vice.
l.. T. Hayes, convicted Of transport
ing o girl from Oklahoma City, Okla,
to Wichita, Kansas, appealed his conyie-
tion on a similar plea.
All the men were married.
| The decision upholding the non-eom-
mercial application of the law barely
got through.
Justice McReynolds took NO part, as
he was attorney general.
OF the other eight jusitices, the two
seniors-Chief Justice White and JUS
tice McKenna--and the junior--Justice
Clark--disgented
The case itself was one Of the most
/ bitterly fought in criminal histCEy in
this country.
Senator Joseph w. Bailey was chief
counsel for the defense in the supreme
court hearing, with Assistant Attorney
General Wallace acting for the govern
ment.
! Dozens of convictions under the Mann
law hinged on today Is decision.
With the Mann law applying only to
commercial vice, it would be impossible
for conviction if man transported n
woman across state line for immoral
purposes, unless a oney consideration
was proved.
Justice Day read the opinion:
"There is no ambiguity in the law,'
he said. cit covers transportation of
a woman for immoral purposes, includ
ing purposes Of debauchesy. The plain
terms Of the act must prevail. :"
''Congress, Justice Day said,
"plainly has the power to regulate the
transportation of passengers in inter-
state commerce and so to forbid the
transportation of women for immoral
purposes.
There is nothing in the act, he held,
to limit its application to commercial
vice.
Points of the Decision.
The decision was an unusually long
one.

held, care uniformly presumed, unless

Liebknecht has been, in almost con
stant trouble with the German authori-
ties for his antiwar and socialist speech
es, both within and without the reich
stag. Probably the Zurich report is the
final sentence imposed on Liebknecht
after an appeal which has been pend
ing for months.
The charge on which he was arrested
was participation in an anti-war May
day celebration in 1916 and on June 29
of that year he was sentenced to thir.
ty months imprisonment. He took an
appeal and was re-sentenced August
% TO four years and one month, the
court dcpriving him of all civil rights
for period of six years. He appelaed
three days later.
The Zurich report of his latest sen,
tence probably means that Liebknecht
has again lost an appeal.

FRIENDS EXPECT
TO HELP RELIEF
WORK OF WAR

Friends who may enlist for military
service in the event Of war probably
will not forfeit their standing in the
church.
This is the opinion OF Allen D. Hole.
secretary Of the American Friends
Peace Society and member OF the
American Peace Society.
Professor Hole says 1t is likely that
Richmond Quakers may enlist II war is
declared. as they did In some numbers
during the Civil war.
He believes the church will hold to
its traditional Opposition to war, but
that the individual members can be
counted upon to do their bit" In re-
lief and hospital work They will enter
the non-combatant corps as the En-
glish Friends have done he believes.
Relieve Suffering First.
I'VE believe 1t Is our function to re-
lieve suffering instead of causing It,"
he declared,
Individual Friends have been writing
letters and sending kilograms to
President Wilson and congressman for
the last several months urging caution
in dealing with foreign powers. Few
churches have taken any action, how
ever.

ceptions. Last Sunday the congrega-
