New Orleans.-An organization in
every town to cooperate with workers
In New Orleans is the aim toward
which the Travellers Aid Society is
working this spring. The number OF
girls and old people and children who
face the dangers of the city unprotect-
ed. when word from someone In
their home town might warn the
agents in the city to look after them
or stop them, has caused the society
to take up the formation OF auxlllarles
with especial earnestness this year.
Mrs. George Denegre, president OF
the Travellers Aid Society in New Or
leans, has issued the following state
ment, addressed to thinking men and
women of Louisiana. Mississippi, Ala
bama and Texas"
1T is the desire of the Travellers
Aid Society to have organized in each
town a body of good men and women
willing to advise any girl coming TO
the city to work, to hide disgrace or
from restlessnesS, to assist In Keeping
the last two classes at home, or II
this is not possible, to inform us OF
their coming that we may take them
in charge When a girl wants work
they could let us know in advance
what she is capable of doing. we
will meet her when she arrives and
find a safe place for her to stay; see
that she makes connections or that
she is provided for comfortably and
safely.
"The girls from the surrounding
towns and countries who come here,
and are particularly exposed to danger
are those who run away, those who
come with the consent of their par
ents with no money, and no safe
place to go while they search for
work, those untitled for any special
work particularly pretty ones) who
/ inevitably drift to low class restau-
rants and cabarets, where they get
employment easily and without Ques-
| ton. and are of course in great dan
ger, girls under sixteen who do not
tell the truth about their age, and
when this is discovered are thrown
out of work and left to drift, since the
law does not allow their employment;
those sixteen or seventeen who do not
look their age, and bring no proof OF
It. All these are good girls and could
be saved.
IF we are notified of these cases, OF
Of runaways, we can receive them al
The Travellers Aid Home, and return
them to their families.
Where they are competent to work
the Y. w. c. A, the Catholic Won
ans Club, and Catherine Club afford
safe places for them to stay.
1T is not necessary If the funds dc
not allow it, to have an agent at the
depot, generally if the interest of the
ticket agent can be aroused and he
can be induced to be a member, he
would be willing to warn the associa
ton, of girls without baggage, or who
give some reason for suspicion wher
they purchase tickets"

Toledo, Ohio, April A. With street car service at a standstill owing to the strike of carmen and with a binding snow and ice storm raging all day, Toledo today appeared like a deserted village.
 At the first signs of the storm op- orators of the makeshift bus service scurried to shelter and erstwhile street car patrons were compelled to employ taxicabs to get to Easter services or to work
 The blizzard was one of the worst that ever visited this section, even in winter according to the weather bu- reau
 It was said today at headquarters of the street car men that resumption of trolley service is impossible until the city council ratifies an agreement entered into by Mayor schreiber, of ficials of the Toledo Railway and Light company and the car operators.
 This would grant a maximum in crease in wages to sixty cents an houl and would increase the carfare from six cents to seven cents at all hours of the day in addition to the regular charge of two cents for transfer. It was this point on which the coun cil refused to agree and which resulted in the strike. The car men held meet ing today and decided to demand pay a the new wage rate for all the tim' they are idle
 A regular meeting of the counci will be held tomorrow night at whicl Mayor Schreiber is said to be prepar ing to appeal to the six councilmei who blocked the issue, to change thei vote.

Detroit April 4-With virtually the whole of Michigan in the grip or nid-winter snowstorm on the eve or the presidential primaries. campaign managers of the leading candidates to- night alternately discussed the not alto es}her pronajsing election weather and rredicted victory for. their candidates The vigorous campaigns which have marked the last few weeks. however. were conducted principally in the ln- dustrial centers of the lower peninsula. and it was generally believed the win try weather would have little efrect on the heavy voting in prospect, Tn most of the larger cities hQtiy con tested municipal issues were counted on to bring in heavy ballot.
 Seven republicans, five democrats and one socialist are seeking the states in dorsement for presidential nomination Chief interest, however, seemed to cen fer in the race between Gov. Frank Q. I.owden of Illinois, Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood and Senator Hiram Johnson of California. all of whom made extensive campaign tours of the state.
 Other republicans on the ticket were General Pershing, Senator Poindexter of Washington and William G. Simpson of Datroit. Herbert Hoovers name snnears on both the republican and democratic tickets
 Tha onlv democratic candidate to con a,,ct an active campaign was Attorney General Palmer. That ticket also bears inc names of William J. Bryan. Will liam e. McAdoo and Governor Edwards of New Jersey.
