Salvatiom Army To Enter
 Way Against White SlaUeyy
[Repuhlican A. P. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, June 24-Co-operation of the Salvation Army in an organized effort to end the White Slave traffic as an aftermath of the Ruth Cruger case was pledged today by Miss Evangeline Booth, commander of the organization, after a long conference with Mrs. Grace Humiston, who was instrumental in the finding of the High School girls body in the cellar of Alfredo Cocchi's bicycle repair shop.
 Mrs. HumistOn announced at the end of her three hour talk with Miss Booth that arrangements had been made whereby the Salvation army would give valuable assistance in running down the criminals who prey upon young girls. She stated a vigorous campaign would be started to end the evil
 The aid the Salvation army can give in such work is most valuable" Mrs Humiston said, because it's members are in touch with numerous girls who have fallen victims to the men engaged in the traffic and who, in their misery. turn to the Salvation army for help"
 The big outstanding feature of the Cruger murder case is not the indict- ment fO. murder in the first degree of
 
 whose shop was found the remains of Ruth Cruger. the seventeen year old schoolgirl but the complete failure of the police investigation of the disap- pearance of Miss Cruger from her home on February 13. Using exactly the same clues that had been discarded as worthless ny the police, Mrs. Grace Humiston. a lawyer. discovered the body.
 Efforts are being made to extradite Cocchi from Italy, whither he fled when the police eXOnerated him. In the meantime an inquiry into the police rated by District Attorney SWann. Mayor Mitchel holds to be inexcusable the failure of the police to discover the body
 Now that the mystery has beer solved. it is apparent that a simpler piece of detective work than the dis covery of the murder and the murderer of Ruth Cruger could not have been presented to the police department Here are the facts which the district attorney is looking into:
 First. Ruth Cruger took a pair of skates to Cocchi's shop to be sharpened in the morning of February 13.
 Second. she left her home. about two blocks from Cocchi's place in the early afternoon to get the skates. There was no mystery about her movements in this respect.
 Third, Cocchi closed his shop at in the afternoon.
 Fourth. when Ruth Cruger had not returned to her home at in the eve ming, her sister. after teiegraphing to her parents. who were in Boston. went to the West l25th street police station and reported the case. Fifth. the lieutenant on duty, fol- lowing police custom, made a memo randum of the case to wait twJ nty- four hours for investigation. Sixth. in consequence, the police search for Ruth Cruger was not begun ! until the next day, whereas a visit tO Cocchis shop that night would un- , Continued on Page Two)

Brooklyn Player Is One of
Fastest in National
League.

Little Bunny Fabrique, the new
shortstop Of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
is now a fixture with Wilbert Robin
sons F'latbush aggregation. and there
isn't a happier ball player in the ma
jor leagues today than Bunny
Bunny was born Of French parents
at Clinton, Mich, in 1889. SO he can
not lay any claim to ehickenhood,
although he plays ball with the spirit
and dash Of two year old colt
He secured his first professional
engagement in 1908 with the Tecum-
sch, Mich. club Of the Southern Mich
igan league. the club which one year
prior to that date sold Fred Merkle
to the Giants. From 1909 to 1911 he
was with Jackson. Mich, and from
there went to Fort Wayne. where he
played in 1912 and 1913. Bill Dono-
van bought Fabrique for Providence
at the close Of the 1913 season, and
the following year he helped win a
pennant for Smiling Bil in the Inter-
national league.
He continued with Providence in
1915 and 1916, and did valiant work
as a member of the Grays.
Last Fall no less than four major
league clubs put in drafts for him,
and Uncle Wilbert Robinson won him
in the draw. Needless to say, Uncle
Wilbert thinks he has the best short
stop in the world. We can say truth
fully that he has one OF the best.

A letter from president Jette rela-
tive to the situation is as follows:
The concensus of opinion among
the officers and directors of the asso-
citation was TO call off the annual
Border States tournament. as the ex-
ecutive committee of the National as
ISOLATION requested that no titles be
awarded or prizes given
7 should like to have every club
in any sort of a town hold a tourna-
ment known as a Patriotic or Red
Cross tournament Give no prizes
or titles, but charge entry
fees and raise all the money
possible. half of such money TO
be given to the local Red Cross unit
and the other half to be put into a
fund and given TO the National Red
Cross in the name of our association
The object of these tournaments is
obvious and has the approval OF the
war department and the National as
ISOLATION. Raising money for a most
worthy organization and keeping the
tennis players in our section in good
physical condition should appeal to
every member of the Border States
Tennis association"
