FOREIGNERS ARE GIVEN THE BLAME

White Slave Traffic in This Country Not Fault of The Americans. A REPORT TO CONGRESS IT IS STATED EUROPE TEEMS WITH IMMORAL WOMEN ' WHO ARE ANXIOUS TO LIVE LIVES OF SHAME HERE. . Washington , Feb. 1. The treaty ratified by the Senate March 1, 1903, providing for universal action of the powers toward the repression of the "White Slave" trafic, has been declared by Daniel J. Keefe, Commissioner General of Immigration, to be "practically worthless." The failure of this convention to accomplish the good expected was explained in a report of the Commissioner General, which yesterday was transmitted to the Senate by President Taft In response to a Senate resolution. In summarizing an exhaustive report Mr. Keefe says: "Practically no co-operation at present can be expected of the signatories as regards the enforcement of our immigration laws, with which some of the powers are found to be out of sympathy. "The procuration of innocent women and girls for purposes of debauchery has seldom, if ever, come to the attention of the Bureau, and as It Is the purpose, of the treaty to prevent such procuration, (he treaty's usefulness ends there. "Even with the passage of new legislation with stringent provisions this bureau, which has been designated by the Government in the repression of this traffic, will not be in position to enforce properly the same without specific financial provision." Felt Europe's Pulse. . After the ratification of the treaty the Bureau of Immigration sent letters to the proper officials in foreign countries to ascertain the 'degree of co-operation to be expected of the signatory powers. j The net result of the replies was i that no co-operation could be looked J for except in specific instances. The reasons for this were many, among them being the lack of legal authority, but the principal one "seems to lie In the public attitude toward those women who make prostitution a business, the idea being that the Government has no right to .interfere with those who follow such a life from choice." An agent of the bureau who visited England, Belgium, Austria, France, Germany, Russia and Romania reached the conclusion "that there is no such thing as an international organization that is, a close corporation having for its object the exploitation of women in various countries by means of the practice of prostitution." Few Innocents Imported. This agent reports that innocent women or girls are rarely imported into this country. The great bulk of the women come in as the mistresses of individuals, subsequently adopting or being forced into a life of shame. Innocent victims, the report says, are selected by procurers in this country. Discussing conditions he found in Europe, the Unite ! States agent says the large cities "were found to be so infested with women of immoral tendencies, living in poverty and dire squalor, that they were only too eager to embrace the opportunity of living comfortably in a life of shame in this country. Consequently, procurers "who desire to get fresh supplies of women for their resorts in the United States are not forced to reduce and debauch innocent women when, with much less expense and danger, numbers of women can be round ready to accept their terms. The crowding of immigrants in the congested districts of large cities is much less prevalent than is popularly supposed, and the common reports of bad living conditions among such immigrants is much overdrawn, according to the report prepared under the direction of E. A. Coldenweiser. An Exhaustive Report. It makes a volume of approximately t!00 pages, is based on a study of over 10.000 households in some of the most vongested districts of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Buffalo and Milwaukee. It shows that the population of congested districts is composed mostly of vecent immigrants, one-third of the families canvassed having been in the j faited States less than five years, and two-thirds less than ten years. In the cities covered it was found that there was an average of 134 persons per 1k sleeping rooms occupied, including kitchens, and an average of 2112 persons per 100 sleeping rooms. The number of persons per 10O rooms occupied in the different cities follows: Boston, 144; Philadelphia. 141: New York, and Cleveland. KK: Buffalo, KW; Chicago, 120: and Milwaukee. 1V. The growth of foreign colonies in large cities is attributed by the commission to immigrants generally joining their friends and relatives and remaining near tnera for a time at least, but a more general distribution of the older immigrants has been brought about by economic progress and a desire for better surroundings.

Sixty-three Arrests Made The Local Police in January. by WAS A VERY BUSY PERIOD During the month of January the police made (C arrests. Almost half of this number were slated for intoxication and a curious incident in connection with the record last month . is the fact that there were only three arrests for assault and battery. Practically every month the assault and b ittery charge ranks second to drunks in number of arrests. However, those who felt their angry passions rise last month were perhaps fewer, it is said, than for any previous month covering a period of over a year. The charges on which arrests were made were more numerous during January than usual. On Saturday, January 20, the police established a unique record for one day. by making ten arrests and securing a conviction in every case. In December only 51 violators were made to answer to the law. Notwithstanding the fact that there were twelve more arrests in January than during the previous month, there were six less pinched for drunk. It has been suggested that perhaps the water wagon, which was boarded by many New Year's day is responsible for the difference. The number of arrests and their specific charges last month was as follows: Drunk, 17: hold for superintendent, vagrancy, -j; malicious trespass and larceny, 1; wife desertion. 1; begging. ."; insane, 3: giving liquor to minor. 1: assault and battery, o: ped-. dling without a license, 2: larceny, ?: selling liquor without a license, 1 ; for gery, 1; burglary, 2: runaway boj". 1.

CUT ASSESSMENTS FOR CANDIDATES

County Central Committee Believes That This Can Be Accomplished. DRAWING FOR WEDNESDAY AT THAT TIME OFFICE SEEKERS WILL GET PLACES ON BALLOTS TO MAKE ELECTION RULES STRINGENT. The executive committee of the republican county central committee will meet this evening in the office of Secretary John E. Peltz, over tj-j'j Main street, and decide on the assessments of the candidates and work out campaign expenditures. The primary will cost in the neighborhood of $1,500 according to the expenditures made in previous primary elections, and those in charge see little reason why this figure will not answer for next Monday's event. Changes made by the last legislature will increase some expenses and, it is believed, decrease others. It may also be necessary to pay more for meals. Ought to Please 'Em. So fare as the candidates are concerned, the assessments will be smaller than they were two and four years ago. Because there are more in the races is the principal reason for this. There are fifteen in the clerk's and sheriff's contests, while in the other races, there are a number of entries. The candidates will meet tomorrow morning at lo o'clock at the court house and draw for places, which their names will occupy on the ballots. The candidates will also pay their assessments at this time. At the session of the committee late yesterday afternoon, several routine matters were considered. The rules are the same as those governing lections of this nature before. C. K. Wiley, chairman of the board stated that he had not selected the advisory committee to confer with the executive committee, but that his selections would probably be made within a day or so. Will Meet Tonight. At this evening's meeting of the ; executive committee probably the I most important matter will be to J make rules which will prevent foreigners and others, who have not thej power of franchise, from casting i votes. It is essential that this matter j receive careful attention, as there are; about 1,000 foreigners in this county; who are working on the Pennsylvania construction work. The standing rule is that the inspectors shall be the party to determine on the voting qualifications of all voters. It is probable that this rule will be amended, making it even more effective by compelling all foreigners to bring their naturalization papers with them to the polls. The voting of patients at Eastern Indiana hospital and inmates of the poor farm will also be up for consideration. A BIG WAR STARTED German-American Alliance Intends to Take Fall Out Of Tariff. (American News Service) Cleveland, O., Feb. 1. A national was on the present tariff laws by the German-American Alliance, enroling a membership of 2,500,000 in the United States, has been launched here. A mass meeting of 25,000 Germans in Cleveland will be called as soon as arrangements can be made for the use of Central Armory, the largest alditorium in the city. The delegates were called together by the executive committee of the alliance in Cleveland. Resolutions were adopted appealing to the Germans of the country to unite in a war on the tariff issue. The high cost of living is placed on the tariff and not on any trust pr organization directly within the United States. The resolutions set forth that the delegates at the meeting have, with their separate organizations, gone over the present industrial situation in all its phases for months. Their investigations show, the resolutions say. that, while the packers and other dealers in food products have a monopoly on their trade and are probably combining to govern trade, the real cause of the high prices is the j tar i if. A (American News Service) St. Petersburg, Feb. 1. Count Tsehuky, a blood relative of Emperor Nicholas, his wife and five children have been murdered at Czaritzyn by a son of the Count by a former marriage.

MURDER

Single-Blessedness a Failure Resident of Greenwood Ave. Has Become Convinced of This Fact and Is Now Advertising for a Wife.

WANTED "Wife, aged ; to 5, between now and spring; please address Henry Ewry, Greenwood Ave. ollt The above advertisement was inserted in the ' want ad" columns of the Palladium last night. As usual Mr. Ewry is "pleased with .the results." From statements made by Mr. Ewry while at the Palladium office yesterday matrimony is as much a business proposition as farming or anything else one might suggest and speaking of farming, any woman, within the required age limit, who possesses a farm will meet with favor in the eyes of the would-be groom. He hankers for a happy home on some rural route. If any applicant is burdened with i money, she will not be ignored by Mr. Ewry, although a heavy bank roll is not a requisite, for Mr. Ewry modestly : admitted that he had enough currency to support himself and a partner in a domestic sketch. j Mr. Ewry is firm in his belief that his bride should not be under thirty j years of age or over thirty-five years. ; The woman who makes the ideal wife ' A BIG DELEGATION Of Earlham Students Will Attend the State Oratorical Contest.

A CAMPFIELD COMPROMISE; (American News Service) Indianapolis. Ind., Feb. 1. Dr. E. P. Busse of Evansville, was elected superintendent of the Southeastern Hospital for the Insane at Madison by the trustees at a meeting at the Denison hotel today. There were thirteen applicants for the position. Besides Chairman Inman. Trustees Sweet, Pleasants and Cravens were present. The trustees conferred with the governor this afternoon. Attorneys for the Aetna Indemnity company of Hartford, Conn, paid the treasurer of state sixty-five thousand dollars today as a compromise of the suit brought by Governor Hanly against the Campbell Construction company for alleged breach of contract. With th:3 money the commission will erect two large cottages on the grounds. OPEN COOPER CASE (American News Service) Nashville, Feb. 1. A brilliant array of counsel began today in the Supreme Court, in an effort to have sentences set aside of D. B. and Robin J. Cooper, who were convicted of murdering United States Senator Carmack. More than 20 specific errors in evidence are claimed.

is the woman who is in the prime of her life, Mr. Ewry is convinced. It can also be stated 1 ere, for the benefit of applicants, thu Mr. Ewry would not object to a mate whose face is easy to look at. At the Palladium office yesterday the Greenwood avenue man stated that he engaged in work which in the warmer months, keeps him out of doors the greater part of the day. This, and the fact that he is a batchelor has hindered him in performing his household duties. Ia fact he has found it difficult to keep things ship-shape. This is not as it should be. (AH fair-minded batcheiors will not contest this assertion. Therefore, looking at the question confronting him in a square, broad- j minded manner, Mr. Ewry could find i but one remedy matrimony. Being i a man of prompt decision he promptly :

set forth to seek the remedy, and his steps led him to the Palladium office. No doubt by this time he has many remedies to chose from. Mr. Ewry's reasons for advertising for a wife was the fact that he has not long resided in this vicinity, so his acquaintancship among the gentle sex is extremely limited. BACK TO HER HOME Josie Bond, "Most Arrested Woman" Once More Serving Sentence. SHE COURTED AN ARREST 'When the flowers bloom in springtime." Josie Bond, the most arrested woman in Wayne county, will be ! given her freedom again, although not for long, it is believed, for as a jail breaker Josie is about the handiest ever. Immediately after city court this morning, the woman was loaded in the patrol wagon and hustled to ; the Home for the Friendless to the ac- ! companiment of $23 and costs and 60 days ringing in her ears. Josie staggered into police headquarters yesterday afternoon and asked to be locked up. She said she had been out of jail three days and felt lonesome. But Sergeant McXally didn't like the idea of the tax payers contributing to the woman's continual support and told her so. With that Josie waxed furious and left headquarters with the firm resolve to get pinched or die in the attempt. Visiting her home, she proceeded to beat up on her aged mother. She then returned to police headquarters, told the officers there what she had done, adding that if they didn't believe it they could go and find her mother lying in a pool of blood. Patrolman Wierhake was dispatched to the scene, but an investigation disclosed the fact that the woman was not mortally wounded as Josie would have the officers be lieve, j However, Josie's fondest hope was realized. She was placed in jail and became happy again. During the past year the woman has spent 170 days : behind the bars, besides paying a fine ! of $15 and costs on one occasion, j What to do with her is one of the : most perplexing problems with which the local authorities have to contend. PURE FOOD EXHIBIT Will Be Held Tomorrow in the Basement of the First Presbyterian Church. STATE SENDS AN EXHIBIT A. V.

Find Clew to Long Lost Birds

Ohio Representative Tells a Story About Turkeys, Missed 42 Years Ago, and Thereby Gets Information.

Columbus. O.. Feb. 1.. That "Murder will out"' has been proved conclusively to Representative Phillips, member of the House of Representatives from Geauga county, who recently met with an experience that staggered him. When Mr. Phillips was a boy money was not so plentiful for youngsters as it is now nor for grown folks either for that matter and two or three pennies, or a nickel, was a considerable sum of money for him and his brother to have for their very own. But one year he and his brother came into possession of u turkey gobbler and two hens, and they managed to raise thirty-two young ones, making thirty-five In all. Thanksgiving turkeys that year sold for ?l apiece, regardless of wt-ieht, and the wo boys were looking forward to the possession of f 10 apiece with more anticipation than they would look to the receipt of . .5 now. lint two days before Thanksgiving the turkeys failed to come home to roost. The boys started out to hunt them the next day and found where they had roosted for the night. Lut never did they get any further trace of them. The turkeys disappeared as though the earth had swallowed them, and the boys were never able to get A SETTLEMENT MADE Bishop Chartard and Father Mattingly Pay $250 to Miss Mueller. CITY STILL A DEFENDANT Bishop Francis Chatard of the Indianapolis diocese of the Roman Catholic church and Rev. Father Mattingly, pastof of St. Mary's Catholic church who were made co-defendants in the .:, in damage suit of Miss Martha Mueller for personal injuries, sustained a year ago this month by a brick wall of the old Hibberd property falling upon her, have settled with Miss Mueller for The suit in so far as Biship Chatard and the Rev. Mattingly are concerned has been dismissed, but the suit still holds against the city of Richmond and Maurice V. Carroll, a contractor. The city is held liable because the streets were not roped in, while Maurice Carroll had charge of the razing of the Hibberd property. Miss Mueller, with a party of three others, were walking on A Btreet when one section of the wall fell over or was pushed over. She was buried under the debris and sustained many, but not serious injuries. KIDNAP SMALL GIRL Chicago, Feb. 1. Detectives from the Hudson Avenue station today are searching the city for Clara Rowan, 14 years old, missing from her home. No. 1466 Clybourn avenue, who is believed to be the victim of a kidnapping plot. The little girl Is unusually pretty and has not been seen by her relatives or parents since yesterday, when she left early in the morning to go to school. The basis for the kidnapping plot was furnished by her father, Frank Rowan, who believes that the girl was forcibly taken away. A strange man who liad been noticed by neighbors loitering in the vicinity is also being sought. The mother of the girl lives In Indianapolis, Ind., having separated from the father.

even a clew to what had become of I them. That was forty-two years ago. Mr. ; Phillips was ulliiig the tory of hi

missing turkeys in the pretence of four or live iucu. it having been recalled by a discussion of the high price of turkeys this year. One of the men happened to have lived on a farm in the immediate neighborhood of the farm on which the Phillips boys lived. I think I know what became of . your turkeys." ho said. "What?" demanded Mr. Phillips, almost jumping from his c'.i.tir. "I think I know what Itecame of your turkeys." the man lepeated. "I know a man who lived in the direction those turkeys started who sold more turkeys that year than he raised. I saw tome turkeys being driven from I he direction of your farm in tno direction of his farm." "Who was he?" Mr. Phillips asked. But the man intimated that he did not care to give the name in the presence of other people, and Mr. Phillips has not seen him since. But it looks now as though, after forty-two year, he will find what became of the missing turkey which caused such great disapitointnient to bim and his brother when they were boys. TRIED BOLD THEFT Negro Attempted to Steal Suit Case at the Pennsylvania Station. CAPTURED BY AN OFFICER. One of the boldest attempts at theft that has ever been tried in this city was that of Charles Smith, colored, who yesterday afternoon grabbed the suit case belonging to Walter K. Hinnon, a traveling man of Dayton, O., in the waiting room at the Pennsylvania depot and endeavored to make his getaway. After being taken into custody. Smith declared that he thought the suit case belonged to his employer. The affair, which occurred about 3 o'clock, caused considerable excitement at the depot; Ilinnon was engaged In buying a ticket at the window in the waiting room and Lad set his suit case down on a nearby bench. At that moment Smith rushed into the room, siezed the suit case and was gone before Hinnon realized what was taking place. The traveling man discovered the loss immediately and notified Patrolman Westenberg, who made a search of the building, eventually finding Smith crouched in a corner of a remote section of the station. He will be arraigned In the city court tomorrow morning on a charge of larceny. k WILL GO TO TOLEDO 'American News Service) Indianapolis, Feb. 1.
