Divckeeper Bewails Evil
Effect on Youth.
CHICAGO. Oct. 19 (Special.) A differ
ence of opinion as to tho effects of the biB
parade and demonstration conducted by
"Gypsy" Smith, the evangelist, in the
South Side red llftht district prevailed to
day throughout the city. The evangelist
himself declared It was one of the great
est religious demonstrations In -which he
had ever taken part.
Clergymen and prominent Chlcagoans
were, divided in opinion. High officials,
while refusing to criticise those who took
part In the demonstration, declared that
nothing good could result from it. John
Wheeler. Inspector of Police, pronounced
it one of the greatest advertisements the
levee ever received, and said the resort
keepera could afford to pay Mr. 9mith
tiono a night for such advertising.
"From a business standpoint. I suppose
we, too, ought to be highly pleased," said
one of the most notorious woman dive
keepers in Chicago. "I have been in this
neighborhood more than five years, and I
can truthfully say that I never saw such
crowds as visited the houses. However.
In spite of all thta easy money that has
come to us. I am sorry it happened. I
am sorry for the young boys that were at
tracted to the district many of them for
the first time. And young girls that
walked' along this street and gazed Into
the houses cannot escape a tinge of cor
ruption." WILL. WAR ON 'WHITE SLAVERY

undue ambition to live well and beggarly

olution: "The National Purity Congress hereby
records its gratification at the activity
of National and state authorities against

tered pleas of not guilty in Judge John

charge of violating the food law by "dop-
ing" meat with "freezum."

tures being rejected, they take the posl-
tlon that the preservative is harmless.

Prosecutor John H. Perry that it was in-
Jurlous; that it enabled over 4.000.000.000
' baccilli to exist In every pound of meat
- without betraying their presence to or
.' dinary scrutiny, and that if taken In
sufficient quantity It would . produce
death.

pro.-eeuings, won his suit for separa
tion and they have been living apart
since.
Both Have Changed Names.
Cross-examination of the defendant
Vy Mrs. Batonyi's lawyer brought out
some new sidelights on the case today.
"What is your real name?" he was
asked.
"Aurel Batonyi."
"You have had another name?"
"Two other names," responded the
defendant.
"What were they?"
"Kohn and Muremberg," he replied.
"I changed my name Just as the Works
did. Their name was originally Worth,
when they were sailors."
Mrs. Batonyi concluded her case with
the testimony of Winnie Nelson, who is
said to have been the maid of Mrs.
Henry Lawrence, or Margaret Allen,
one of the two co-respondents named
in the suit.
Mrs. Lawrence's deposition positively
der.ies that Batonyi made the night
visits "to tier apartments.
Maid Saw Nothing Wrong.
Miss Nelson described the arrange
ment of the Lawrence apartment, but
said she had neither seen nor heard
anything wrong there on the night of
Iecember 1", 1907, the date named In
the complaint.
Batonyi was the first witness for the
defense. He denied absolutely that he
knew Mrs. l-awrenre; that he had vis
ited her apartments on the night in
question or that he had ever talked
with her on the telephone. He also de
nied having visited "Margaret Allen
He swore that he had never ridden In
a taxicab with Beatrice Brevaine.
The horseman said he had brought
three .suits for J.W.A0O each against his
father-in-law. Frank Work. Frank K.
Sturgis and Peter Cooper Hewitt for
alienation of his wife's affections.
"I do not care for money." he declared
fiercely. "If I win I will give the money
to charity. All 1 want Is vindication."
Me asserted that he and his wife were
perfectly happy until outsiders Inter
fered. Batonyi's vehemence on the stand
resulted in his being cautioned several
times by Justice O'Gorman.

PRESiDENTM'GREA
FEARS NEW LAWS
Pennsylvania Magnate. Thinks
Anti-Railroad Legislation
Has Just Begun.
CAPITAL EASILY SCARED
Recurrence of Late Panic Predicted
If Lines Are Not Allowed to Io
More as They Please Sys
tems In Xeed of Loans.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19. (Special.) Presi
dent McCrea, of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, anticipates a lot of trouble wltn
host.le legislators. He arrived in this
city tonight on a special train of
seven cars. He was accompanied by
sr i
his operating staff and about ten of
the directors of the Pennsylvania. They
spent the night in the city and will
leave early in the morning over the
Northwestern for Duluth. The offi
cials are on their annual Inspection
trip.
Asked regarding the business situa
tion. President McCrea said:
"Business is Just beginning to get
on its feet and, if conditions remain
favorable, the country will soon be
prosperous again. Prosperity will not
return in its full tide, however,, un
less favorable conditions continue to
exist.
Plea Made for Time.
"If the railroads are given full time
in which to become acquainted with
the new laws which have been passed
in which to work out the problems
which they present and in which to
learn and become used to the new con
ditions created, then we will have good
business and it will increase and grow
amazingly. But if there is to be a
continuance of all sorts and kinds of
anti-railroad legislation the rising
business will again be stricken."
"Do you not think that the period of
anti-railroad agitation, so-called by tho
railroads, is rapidly passing?" was asked.
"By no means. On the contrary. It
seems to be about to reach Its height.
Every man jack of them is going to re
turn to Washington with all the fool
legislation projects they can conjure and
they will try to work them off on the
country'- I expect to see more fool legis
lation at the next session than has yet
been passed. It is terrible the amount of
stuff they are preparing to spring on the
public.
Money Always Nervous.
"You know very well that capital is
nervous and easily frightened and if the
members of the National Congress do not
see the danger we will have a recur
rence of the 'late unpleasantness in the
financial world. If, on the other hand,
we are allowed to remain quiet while we
adjust ourselves to the new conditions,
all be well.
"There is a vast amount of money to
spend In this country for transportation
facilities if the railroads can be let alone
long enough to woo the necessary capital.
Every railroad In the United States to
day of any importance needs to be double-tracked
and that requires capital.
Where are we going to get It If there
is to be launched at us another avalanche
of hostile legislation?"

RESIST RATE ADVANCE
SHIPPERS VXITE IN CAMPAIGN
TO FIGHT RAILROADS.
Conference at Cincinnati Votes to
Educate Country on Rate
Question.
CINCINNATI. Oct. 19. That any pro
posed general advance In freight rates
will disturb existing business conditions
and that such an advance Is not justified
End will be vigorously contested by the
leading shippers' organization of the
country was the tenor of resolutions
adopted at a meeting of shippers and
other commercial organizations from
many parts of the country held here
today.
The day was devoted to a discussion
of the freight situation and it was de
termined at once to inaugurate a strong
movement in opposition to the contem
plated advance. a committee being
created whose duty it shall be to propa
gate a campaign of education on freight
rates and to have all the powers of the
general conference in dealing with that
subject.
The meeting follows a preliminary con
ference held here a week ago and attend
ed by representatives of trade organiza
tions of several cities. The object is to
combat the arguments for higher freight
rates, as made in a pamphlet recently is
sued by the chairman of the Trunk Line
Association. This pamphlet argues that
the purchasing power of railway earnings
is less now than in 1897, and that, there
fore, freight rates should be advanced
at least 10 per cent.
The trade organizations aver that the
carriers' sworn statements to the Inter
state Commerce Commission prove con
clusively that there is no need for a re
duction In wages, and that the true basis
of comparison of railroad operations is
net financial results. On this basis it is
declared that the carriers' sworn sta
tistics show the following: Net income
for all railroads in the United States for
1907 was tU9.461.1S8: for 1S97 it was J81.
257.606. Excess in 1907 over 1897. J388.203,
682. an increase of 453 per cent.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 19. The In
terstate Commerce Commissioners, sit
ting en banc today, resumed the hear
ing of arguments in the case of switch
ing charges Imposed by the railroads
at San Francisco and Los Angeles when
Industrial firms desire cars switched
to tracts extending to their establish
ments. x
At the close of the arguments both
sides were given 15 days In which to
prepare and submit new briefs.
