NAME OF TOWN CHANGED Alice is Now Called Northland by Uncle Sam—New Postoffice. Northland is the name of the little postoffice station south of Hibbing. That is the name that must be used in addressing mail matter to what has been known as Alice, Uncle Sam has wedded her to the department and must use that name as there are two villages in the state with names similar to Alice. F¥ormer Judge Edward J. Cram, of Nashwauk, has been appointed post- master there and the equipment will arrive in a short time, Mail matter will arrive through the Hibbing office, “destined for Northland and will be distributed as formerly, matter for the new office being called for by Mr. Cram.—Hib- bing Tribune. BELIEVE LAW 1S OF NO VALUE Oificial Opinion of White Slave Statute. INVADES STATE RIGHTS Measure Passed at Last Congress Con- sidered Clearly an Interference With the Police Powers of the Individual States—Transportation of Immoral Women From One Commonwealth to Another Is Prohibited. Washington, Aug. 11.—It is admit- ted by administration officials that the traffic law that was put ress With such a flourish during the closing days of the recent session is worthless, so far as putting a stop to the shipment from one state to another of women for immoral purposes. The officials whose duty K is to administer the new law say that without doubt it will be declared unconstitutional. “I think there is no doubt that the white slave traffic act will be declared unconstitutional as soon as the courts have an opportunity to pass on it,” said one of these officials. “In my judgment the act is clearly an inter- ference with the police powers of the states. The government has not at- tempted yet to bring a case under it. We shall wait until we can get a strong case from our point of view before testing the new law.” This is the so called Mann bill, making it unlawful to transport wo- men for immoral purposes from one state to another. It was very strin- gently drawn with a view to stopping the practice and providing punish- ment for all who engage in it in any way, either py the purchasing of rail- road tickets, furnishing money or other means. LOEB AT SAGAMORE HILL Garfield and Pinchot Also to Be Guests i of Roosevelt. Oyster Bay.N.Y,, Aug. 11.—William Loeb, Jr., collector of the port of New York, who came to Oyster Bay with Theodore Roosevelt, has returned to New York. With him was Douglas Robinson of New York city, Colonel Roosevelt’s brother-in-law, who also spent the night at Sagamore Hill. Mr. Loeb had nothing to say in re- gard to his conference with Colonel Roosevelt. It is believed that Loeb’s decision not to allow his name to be considered as a candidate for govern- or stands as his final one. James R. Garfield, former secretary of the interior, and Gifford Pinchot, deposed chief forester, are expected at Sagamore Hill. Mr. Pinchot has Just returned from a trip to the coast and probably will report to Colonel Roosevelt on the political observa- tions which he made. Mr. Garfield will tell the colonel about the situation in Ohio. SUES FOR $50,000 DAMAGES St. Louis Man Alleges He Was Jilted by Kansas City Woman.
