BIXBY IS SOUGHT IN VAIN
Lawyer Whose Picture Appears In
Watch of Accused Procures Is
Positive People Would Rise
In Arms if They Knew.
LOS ANGELES. April J4. Men
wealthy men and not young: girls, are
the white slaves of Los Angeles, slaves
of women that prey.
K. J. Fleming, the "prominent attor
ney" mentioned In connection with the

Jonquil begun giving names, made that
statement today after he had testified

"Gaod Fellawn' Are Prey.
Fleming denounced Mrs. Josle Rosen
bersr. alleged chief procuress for the
"mllUonaire. protectors" of the Jon
quil, who wore the lawyer's picture in
her watch. In his eyes she was head
of a feminine Camorra that lived off of
wealthy men who slipped and even for
a night played "good fellow" In cafes.
Tribute was drawn from them ever
afterward, he said, on pain of exposure.
Fleming formerly was an assistant
mstrict Attorney In charge of city
prosecutions at the police station. In
his time there was a segregated dis
trict. This was afterward eliminated,
making the city what has since been
railed "chemically pure." Fleming said
today that if the people knew of ex
isting morality condition and the op
erations of conscienceless women black
mailers, they would rise In arms.
Blxby Haa Vanished.
Fleming called attention to the type
of young women who are witnesses
before the grand jury and then defined
white slavery as the trapping of girls
and holding them against their wishes
and while their earnings were taken
from them by the procurers.
Fleming Is one of several attorneys
who were employed by George H. Bix
by and he expressed regret that the
Long Beach millionaire had seen fit to
vanish.
-It Mr. Blxby would come back at
one It could be easily shown that this
Is not a case of white slavery, but of
blackmailing." be said. "If there is
slavery, it is of men of prominence and
wealth who were .CTa'crect once or
twice and ever since have been in
bondage to these women."

TAMMANY FIGHTING KING
f Continued From Ftrt Fc
King's appointment to the Board of
Appraisers is not definitely known,
but it Is fact that bad feeling exists
between Chamberlain and King and
Chamberlain would prefer to see King
appointed to the Court of Claims
rather than to a 19000 lob as appraiser.
Change Thought Probable.
If King should be switched and
placed on the Court of Claims. Sena
tor Chamberlain could then claim part
of the credit for the appointment and
would have King In a position where
he would be under a certain amount of
obligation to him.
It Is not known officially whether
King is to receive the office once tend
rrifd him by the President or whether
he J' to get "something Just as good."
There Is a strong helief that he will
not turn up In New York, but will re
ceive an appointment In Washington,
either In the Court of Claims or In one
of the Government departments.
Myers to Leave Soon.
Mr. Myers said today he expected to
reach Portland the latter part of next
week. When he receives his commis
sion he will give bond here and be
ready to assume his duties on his ar
rival In Portland.
Before he leaves Washington Mr.
Myers will have a conference with the
Postoffire Department and will also
confer with the supervising architect
regarding plans for the new Portland
postoffice. He will recommend that
the new building be planned to face on

ceiver at La Grande and Sam Mothers
head. Receiver at Burns.
Objection was raised to the confirma
tion of J. A. McMorris as postmaster at
Condon and to Arunah Longwell. post
master at Echo, not because there Is
any ground for protest, but to give
the Republicans an opportunity to look
Into their qualifications. If the ap
pointees are found to be competent
they will be confirmed at a later day.
The nominations of L. F. Relsenstaln
for postmaster at Roseburg and R. E.

REPRISALS NOT TO BE MADE
Republican Senators in Caucus De
cide on Appointment Policy.
WASHINGTON April 24. By unani
mous vote the Republican Senate cau
cus today agreed there should be no
general reprisal on President Wilson
for the Democratic holdup of the Taft
nominations In the last session of Con
gress, but that Republican opposition
would be shown In the following cases:
In appointments to -the consular
service or the minor diplomatic posts,
such as secretaries of embassies or le
gations, where the merit system re
sorted to by ex-Presidents Roosevelt
and Taft was not followed.
Where vacancies are created by re
movals from office which carry fixed
tenure, unless made for cause, and par
ticularly where removals are made
from offices which require technical or
special knowledge.
In pursuance of this policy the Re
publican Senators In executive session
tonight determined to oppose the nomi
nations of a dozen postmasters until
an investigation could be made as to
the reason for vacancies in those cities.
Postmasters from the home towns of
Senators were approved without oppo
sition. Several minor appointments
from the Department of Justice also
were approved.
