THE “WHITE SLAVE" QUESTION Bill to be Introduced on this Subject at Coming “Session of Congress ONLY GOVERNMENT STRONG ENOUGH To Cope with this Great Evil—President Deeply Interest- ed in a Bill Drafted by Representative Man of illinoi: —Sefies of Important Conferences at White House on this Subject and Others of Interest. R 5 SRR ‘Washington, Nov. 24—Foregoing a contemplated horseback ride because of a snowstorm, President Taft de- voted the entire afternoon today to a series of important conferences cov- ering the subjects of proposed amend- ments to the interstate commerce laws, legislation looking to the sup- pression of the so-called “white slave” traffic, the appointment of 2 succes- sor to the late Judge Bethea, of the United States district court at Chicage and the appointment of a new govern- or of the territory ‘of New Mexico. Interstate Commerce Law_ Changes. The conference with regard to the Interstate commerce law changes was the most important had on that subject, and it was said that he is practically ready now to begin the dictation of this part of his message to congress, There were present at the conference Attorney General Wickersham, and Commissioner Lane of the inter- state commerce commission; District Attorney E. W. Sims of Chicago and entative Mann of Iliinois, chair- man of the house committee on foreign and interstate commerce. To Kill the White Slave Traffic. It was with District Attorney Sims and Mr. Mann that the president also took up the “white slave” question. Mr. Mann is to introduce a bill on ming session the govern- ment can prevent this traffic by the exercise of its power to control inter- state and foreign commerce. Mr. Mann believes that the government is the only authority strong enough to coj with _ this great evil, and the bill which he has drafted, and in which the president today expressed his deep interest, provides a heavy DR. COOK'S RECORDS READY FOR THE DANES. Original Data as Compiled in Arctic Regions Will Go to Copenhagen. New York, Nov. 24—The records whieh Dr. Frederick A. Cook will sub- mit to the University of Copenhagen :l’:c'prwr:nof his claim m‘;lhalsrflel.,fl"d no; pole om April 21, . are today-in coflé‘ofi: and ready for the scrutiny to which the university authorities will subject them. Walter ~Lonsdale, secretary to Dr. Cook. will sail tomorrow on the steam- er United States of the Scandinavian line for Copenhagen, taking the rec- ords with him. Mr. Lonsdale said today that the task of nrrnnllrg the original records and compiling the report upon them had occupled several weeks. Dr. @ook's report, he said, constituted a rather bulky document. “You can’t put it in your vest pock- et,” said the , who added that the document contained, he thought, between 25,000 and 30, words. “I don’t think that the general pub- llc understands the work that we have béen doing,” continued Mr. Lonsdale. “It has been said that we were ‘pre- paring the records.” Such a statement is fnaccurate. The original records go to the university just as they were made by Dr. Cook in the Arctic re- glons. What we have been preparing is_the report to accompany them.” Mr. Lonsdale sald he expected to arrive in Copenhagen on Dec. 7 and would imme: ely place the records in the hands of the university authori- ties. “How long the university will take In examining them and make known its findings of course I cannot tell” he continued. “I should assume that #t would be possible for the uni- versity's announcement to be made by the New Year's holidays. ‘What precaution had been or would be taken to guard the records en route Mr. Lonsdale did not care to reveal.

Startling Situation Disclosed. “The investigations in Chicago under the direction of District Attorney Sims and elsewhere,” said Mr. Mann today at the close of the conference “have disclosed a situation startling in its natureas to the extent of the traffic in young girls both within the United States and from France and other for- eign countries. Most of these Ameri- can girls are enticed away from their homes in the country: to large cities. The police power exercised by the state and municipal governments is inade- quate to prevent this—particularly when the girls are enticed from one state to another or from a foreign country to the United States.” Afternoon Conferences. Postmaster General Hitchcock par- ticipated in the'conferences during the afternoon. District Attorney Sims has himself been recommended for appoin ment to the federal bench to succeed Judge Bethea. No decision as to this vacancy was reached so far as could be_learned. President Taft's views as to amend- ments to the interstate commerce law have been pretty generally known ever since his speech at Des Moines on Sept. 20. The conference at the White House this afternoon, it was explained, was for the purpose of working out the de- tails of the amendments needed to car- Ty Mr. Taft's views into effect. _At- torney General Wickersham has been devoting much time to a study of the law and will have much to do with the drafting of the bill which will be pre- sented in congress.

Glover, that he wus shot by Miss LeBlanc on Sat- uday night, or to believe thé story of the LeBlanc girl that Glover commit- ted suicide, the Waltham police today conducted their jnvestigation of the mystel on the thcory that a third person will be able to furnish a satis- factory solution.

President Tafi -and . Secretary MacVeagh, of the treasury department at Washington. “We shall keep right on cleaning house in the customs ser- vica and there will be more vacancies to fill within the next two or three days. First, however, we must asse ble the names of competent successors from the civil service lists. “The fact that Secretary MacVeagh announced while I was in Washing- ton that he should ask General James S. Clarkson, surveyor of the port, to retire, was a coincidence, and had nothing to do with my visit. We dis- cussed the selection of his successor, it is true, but beyond the fact that neither Richard Parr nor George W. Aldridge of Rochester, N. Y., will be considered, ‘mo decision has been reached. “There is nothing further to say just yet in connection with the sugar frauds,” .
