Under the caption, “Do You Want a New York Address?” the Mail Order Journal, styling itself “The American Magazine of Advertising,” tells of ofa plan -to deceive the people who patronize the mail order house instead of their home mer- chant. The Journal, which is pub- lished in Chicago, claims to be the mouthpiece of the mail order houses. As showing how these mail order houses look on their patrons, the article on the scheme under which New York addresses may be obtained is appended. It ought to be exhilarating at this season for the people who do not live in Chicago or New York to know that they are referred to as *‘country jacks” in the language of the mouthpiece of the houses to which they send their good money, while depriving the home business men of the benefit of the shopping they have to do. The fact that they patronize these houses in preference to their home stores may make of the ‘‘country jacks” but even if true, the appellation is not one calculated to inspire pride in the heart of the person to whom applied. Here is what the Mail Order 'Journal has to say of the “country jacks.” “Under ‘the name_of the seryice system a plan has been consummated y a New York firm by which mail order advertisers who want to make an impression on country people can have a New York address on their letter heads. - They ‘can have' their mail re-directed from New York to their home address and in addition can also have a photo engraving of the Flatiron building -on their letter heads. As the building occupies about twenty-seven stories, it ought to make an impression on country jacks. - All this for $2 a month. No enterprising man need be without a New York address now.” | BY THE WAY | If you had a process to cure deaf- ness, and was permitted- to'describe your ‘process once to -ten thousand people, you would not give them one tenth part of the necessary informa- tion. Same way with ad readers. The man who can afford to take:a page in his home' paper-and don’t is simply “tnfling with -opportunities. No matter how many sidelines you have never cease pplling on the main guy. It is alright to have a back bone, but you should also have a hinge. THREE REPORTS BY - PROBE COMMITTEE Probable Outcome of Ballinger- Pinchot Inquiry. ‘Washington, April 1.—Although the Joint committee that is now making an inquiry into the ‘Ballinger-Pinchot affair has been -laboring for ‘several months and' may not conclude its work until some time next winter it is already apparent that when the committee comes to act it will submit three reports to congress, as follows: “First—According to general expec- tations the majority of the Republic- ans will report that nothing-has been disclosed that in any way reflects up- on the integrity of Richard A. Ballin- ger or any official of the interior de- partment. “Second—The Democratic members of the committee are expected to find that while neither Mr. Ballinger ' nor any of his associates have been guilty of irregularities it is plain that the sec- retary of the interior is not in sym- pathy with the progressive movement for the comservation of natural re- sources. “Third—Representative Madison of Kansas, a Republican, will file a re- port of his own, in which he will agree with his colleagues that the evidence does mot ' disclose irregularities,” but that it does show conclusively that Mr. Ballinger is not enthusiastic over eonservation, and that his record dem- onstrates that he might ‘have -been more punctilious in his dealings with the land office, of which he was for- merly the head, during the time elaps- ing between his retirement from' the office of land commissioner and his ap- pointment as secretary of the interior in the Taft cabinet.” ‘When these reports have been com- pleted they will be submitted to the house and the senate. It will then be up to congress to determine which one of them shall be approved. = TRAVELING UNDER Pinchot Lands at Hamburg and Proceeds fo Gopenhagen. Hamburg, April 1.—According to other passengers on the steamer Pres- ident Grant Gifford Pinchot landed here when the vessel docked. He re- mained over night and proceeded for Copenhagen. He is said to have ap- peared on the passenger list as Gay- lord Smith. When the ‘steamer arrived the offi- clals of the steamship company assert- ed that they had no knowledge of the presence on board of the deposed chief forester of the United States, who, it has been persistently reported, was summoned by former President Roose- velt to Burope for a conference on conservation matters regarding which those differing with Mr. Pinchot have had the support of Prestdent.Taft. Upon embarking at New "York. Mr, Pinchot was listed” as “Gaylord Smith” in order that he might avold reporters. However, once out of New York harbor he made -no, attempt. to eonceal ‘his - identity ‘and ‘ conversed freely with other passengers. He did not make known his definite inten- tions regarding a meeting with Mr. Roosevelt, but fellow’ passengers ‘who were in close touch with him affirmed that they had gained the impression that such a meeting was proposed. Firebugs Alarm’ Citizens. ‘Wausau, Wis,, “April 1.—Firebugs’ are active in Marathon, a village ten miles west of here. Two fires of in- cendiary origin destroyed barhs®in that village. The people are keeping’ watch all night, fearing that their houses may be set on fire. GIRL VICTIMS OF SLAVE TRAFFIC ‘New York Murder Reveals Terrible Conditions. SYSTEM HAS RUINED MANY Sald That Seventy-five Young Women From Fifteen to Seventeen Years of Age Have Dropped From 8ight In That City Within Two Months, 8ome of Whom 'Have Not Been Found—Diabolical Metheds Adopted by Slayer in Carrying Out Hlis Plans: New York, April 1—The murder. of Ruth” Wheeler, aged fifteen, when she went to the apartments of Albert Wol- ter, a white slave trader, to answer an advertisement for a stemographer, has revealed terrible conditions in New York. Seventy-five girls, between the ages of fifteen and seventeen years, have dropped from sight within the past two months only to be foumd by the police in questionable surroundings. Most of them were misled. Fifteen have not yet been-found. Wolter, who 1s a pasty faced youth of nineteen, with no prepossessing qQualities, had two girls who worked on the streets for him and lived with a third, Kate Miller. Wolter, by varl- ous methods, would bring about the downfall of a girl and would tell her that she was “ruined,” but that he ‘would protect her from the police if she' would go on the streets and work for him. ‘Wolter is as ‘much the product of the white ‘slave system as are any of the girls he brought to ruin. His father and mother are well to do and self-respecting German people, L aaa———— WOLTER AND KATE MILLER. _ but Wolter left them as'soon ‘as-he began associating with youths wko were in the white slave business. Like all of the other youths 1h the degrading traffic Wolter had no re- mard for any woman of any class. Most of the girls he had met had suc- oumbed to his power and he held the moral resisting force of woman as very low. He insulted-the sister of his viotim after the murder. Only a few hundred youths ‘with-as, little conscience and as much cunning a8 Wolter might ruin-thousands -of homes in the United States within the eourse of a year. -And undoubtedly there are scores of them at their dia- bolical work in every:city-in the: coun- [} NAME OF SMITH > tims—their lives in dingy rooms, the rear booths of saloons, the sidewalks:| and finally the gutters—is taken into ‘oonsideration the fate of Ruth Wheel- or seems merciful.

New York, April 1.—A bomb explo- #lon - in the -basement of -an -East-| Thirty-ninth street tenement shook the structure to the foundations, shat~ tered every pane of glass in the build- ing and caused such a panic-through- out the block that it was necessary: to call out the police reserves.
