. In conjunction with the exhibition of the
film, an instructive and interesting lecture on
WHITE SLAVERY will be delivered by
Augustus Burnell, a thoroughly sociological
expert who has delved into the subject very
thoroughly. He will tell of the conditions that
exist at the present time and at the same time
deliver a warning to the unsuspecting public
regarding the methods pursued by the
shrewd, tricky and' suave vultures who thrive
as a result of the '
WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.

land by storm. j
If all the departments of social
service perhaps none brings so little
reward other than the consciousness 1
of a good deed well performed than
the work of rescuing young women
from the clutches of the White Slave
traffickers. In some instances the
victims have become thoroughly im
bued with the underworld taint and
give little thanks for efforts in their'
behalf. Often a woman, little more
than a human wreck, rises to the
surface from the slimy maelstrom j
and asks only that her last days be
made peaceful in an environment of
cleanliness and respectubility.
Both of these and countless other
tasks have fallen to the lot of Clif
ford G. Roe until today he is perhaps
the best hated individual the ranks
of the white slavers know of. For
years Mr. Roe fought with the forces
of righteousness in Chicago until one
day he had the satisfaction of see
ing the terrible slum district ut
Twenty-second Street and Armour
Avenue closed and "To Let" signs
placed on a majority of the buildings.
Ho has boon the outcast's friend and
many a mother's heart has been
gladdened by the return of a missing
daughter through the efforts of this
young Knight of the Spotless Shield.
His connection with the cleaning up
of Chicago is but one of the scores
of enlightening incidents related in
the moving picture expose "The Ex
posure of the White Slave Traffic"
which will be seen at the Arcade for i
two times, tomorrow afternoon and
evening only. Adv.

two years ago at the marriage of the
bride's parents at St. Margaret's

The bride was given away by her
father. Mrs. John Astor, who di

John Jacob Astor, came from Europe
to attend the ceretnony. Immediately
following the ceremony and small re
ception, Mr. and Mrs. Astor leave for

a motoring trip in England and
France, and later cruise on the pala

city, $15,589.99; as the bonding com
panies had been notified, it was
necessary to secure an agreement
with them in connection with the set
tlement with the city. A three cor
nered fight developed. This finally
reached a climax when Attorney Geo.
T. Cochran for Mr. Logan and Attor
ney T. H. Crawford for the bonding
company reached agreements and a
tender of $17,000 was made to the
city. There was some differences
over interest on the money that should
have been turned over by Logan in
February but the city conceded $18
and the tender was accepted. The
following are the amounts which go
to mnke up the sum turned over to
the city by Mr. Logan:
Principal sum $15,589.99
Bond coupons held up ' 1,075.00 .
Interest 335.01
The settlement, so far as the city
was concerned, amounted to a pay
ment of all the money due the city
treasury according to - Treasurer
Mansager's audit of the books, to
gether with payments made by the
city by reason of the delay in settle
ment, and interest on the money in
Mr. Logan's hands.
As soon as a settlement was made
and accepted, receipts were executed
and releases given Logan's bondsmen,
th( American Bonding company and
fhe United States Fidelity & Guaran
tee company.

was $4,644.20. All bids but this one
were rejected, and with the exact
knowledge of the cost in hand, the
commission can proceed to place the
estimates and assessments without
guessing. The details will be looked
after as soon as possible that the
work can be done with all possible
haste.
Various means for cleaning up back
assessments occupied much attention
during the evening. Some settlements
have already been made and more
are under negotiations.
