WHITE SLAVERY CHARGED.
Two Men Arrested Following
Statements of Young Girls.

Two girls, one twelve and the other
fourteen years Old. came here from
their homes in Baltimore week ago.
Their absence alarmed their parents
and police of several cities were ask
ed to search for them. 1t was known
that they had come to this city. 1t is
stated, and while a police search for
them was in progress they were seen
at a hotel and turned over to the po-
lice woman's bureau.
Arthur. James Shugars, thirty years
old, 46 G street southwest, and Will
liam Edgar Gottwals. twenty-seven
years old, 1910 Irving street, were ar
rested as a result of a police investi-
CATION of statements the girls made,
and yesterday they were arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Mason N. Richardson on a charge of
alleged violation of the Mann white
slave law.
Counsel for the defendants waived
a preliminary hearing and furnished
bond in the sum of $1,000 to await the
action of the grand jury. The girls
will return here next week and be
examined by the grand jury. Auto
mobile trips across the river to Vir-
ginia were included in statements the

of those who left the country when
Bernstorff was given his passport
Would Have Left ON Lusitania.

''He freely admits to me that all l
prophesied for Germany has come to
PASS, and that maybe worse will hap
PEN" said Mr.. Wolf. II told him at
that time that If Theodore Roosevelt
had been President when Bernstorff
came to the White House and told
them that the Lusitania would be sunk
on such and such day, Roosevelt
would have given him his passport i'm
mediately, and, what is more, have
sent him home on the Lusitania.
"I told him at that time that the
longer the United States kept out of
the war the worse 1t would be for
Germany. and I pretty accurately fore
cast, I believe, the state of things that
has come to pass"
Frederick Kapp,7 Mr.. Wolf recalled,
returning from his depression, was
one of the stanch group of lovers OF
freedom which included Karl Schurz,
the grea leader of German-born
American troops during the civil war,
and who afterward played promi-
nent part in American political his
