THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 12, 1913. FUND TO AID WHITE SLAVE VICTIMS AIM Rockefeller, Jr., Said to Back Movement to Build More Homes for Women. SHELTER NOW INADEQUATE Plan Is to Obtain Money Foundation of $10,000,000 and Help in -Campaign Which Govern ment Is 'Waging. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. (Special.) -An important new movement of a pri vate character is about to be started in connection with the Government's cam paign against the white slave traffic. The new movement contemplates the establishment of a money foundation, amounting possibly to as much as $10, 000.000, which will be used in promot ing features of the campaign in which the Federal Government cannot law fully engage. It is understood here that John D. Hockefeller. Jr., who already has dem onstrated his interest In the suppres sion of this traffic, is actively support ing the movement and will be one of its principal financial backers. Proponal In to Help Victim. The purpose of this movement will be to save unfortunate girls who have been made victims of white slave prac tices. While enforcement of the law against interstate traffic of this char acter has been successful beyond the anticipation of the Department of Jus tice, it has long been felt by Govern ment officials that prosecutions under the law accomplish only half the real work to be done. The guilty man is punished under the operation of the law. but his victim often is left almost in a hopeless condition. It is to support homes for women of this character and to establish new ones ' that the movement about to be launched will aim. Home cities already have good retreats of this kind but it is said their facilities are not adequate, while some places have no shelters at all. lore Homes deeded. It is the practice of most of these homes to shelter unfortunate girls for from six months to a year, find work s for them and to keep in correspondence ana personal touch with them until they are started again on the right road. There- are about 100 of these homes in the country, while it has been estimated that there is need of at least 2500 of them. It is understood here that sufficient . money is in sight to insure success of . the foundation and that an announce ment of its scope and purposes soon will be made. GAMBLERS WORK ON BOATS Passengers Warned After Portland Trip Yields $600 to Trio. SAN" FRANCISCO. Cal., 11. (Spe cial.) Passengers boarding: steamers outward bound from here have been warned by the steamer officials to be on the lookout for three card sharpers, who made a haul of more than $600 on the steamer Bear on a recent trip from Portland. This warning was sounded because of the statement of one of the gamblers, who remarked that if their trip to Honolulu was as prosperous as the Portland one they could almost af ford to retire. The names they assumed on this trip were Anderson, Siimmings and Atelvin. The heaviest loser was a pianist, Hugo Martini, who lost more than $100. His first bet was for $60 on what the usual gambler would have called a "sure tiling." In an effort to recoup he dropped nearly $50 more. A student from the Oregon Agricul tural College lost approximately $35. He also thought that he saw through their scheme and "tried to make a month's board," as he expressed It. The gamblers cleaned him out completely and before he left the boat his com panion in mi: ery, the pianist, had to give him $10 to enable him to get any where. Several traveling salesmen and oth ers declared that they also were practically "broke" when they left the steamer. OUR FACILITIES for handling business are unsurpassed.

HORSE OMNIBUS PASSES Paris Wears Lock Funeral Aspect as Last Trip Is Made. PARIS. Jan. 11. The funeral of the horse omnibus of Paris took place to day when the last of the lines, that running from La Villette to Saint Sul plJce, was suppressed. At noon, when the old vehicle was to start on its final Journey.' a great crowd gathered on the Place Saint Sul rhice and with mock solemnity hung wreaths inscribed with the virtues and past glories of the ramshackle con veyance round the sides. A line of new automobile omnibuses were drawn up round the square and the motormen of these modern vehicles sat with their caps in their hands ana played the lugubrious fanfare on their horns as the driver of the horse omni bus drove off on his final run. The omnibus was crowded with pas sengers who, together with the driver and conductor, wore crepe bands on their arms and hats.

Complaint Is Maide That Persons Other Than Parties to Con tracts' Send Messages. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Inquiry was begun today by the Interstate Com merce Commission on its own initiative into contracts for private telegraph and telephone wires and into the rates and. regulations of such service. . The American Telephone & Telegraph Company, Western Union Telegraph Company and Postal Telegraph-Cable Company were made respondents. No time was fixed for hearings. Complaint was made to the Com mission that under the terms of pri vate wire contracts of the Western Union Telegraph Company use is made of its public wires at less than pub lished tariff rates and that persons other than the parties to the contracts frequently use the private wires of lessees for the transmission of private messages, free of charge, in violation of the act to regulate commerce. This complaint was made the basis for the order of inquiry. NEW YORK, JanTTl. Vice-President Carlton, of the Western Union Tele graph Company, issued the following statement today concerning the in quiry started by the Interstate Com merce Commission: "AVhile the question is still unde cided, it may not be improper to say that any action on the part of the Interstate Commerce Commission to prevent the misuse of private leased wires for messages that should, be transmitted through the regular serv ice of the telegraph would be welcomed and heartily indorsed by the com panies. It is a practice that we have been opposing for years." ONE-SEVENTH OF US DIE OF Battle, Pestilence and Famine are no more fatal than Tuberculosis or Consumption.
