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.

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.
JURY EXONERATES EDDIE
Ijos Angeles Prosecutor Weeps but
Wife Is Vninoved.
1-OS ANGELES, Jan. 11. Guy Kddle,
Ood government leader and suspended
city prosecutor, was found not guilty
of having contributed to the delin
quency of Mrs. Alice Phelps, a minor.
The verdict was returned after the
jury had deliberated three and a half
hours. A dramatic scene followed.
While those in the courtroom applauded
Kddle broke into tears and almost col
lapsed. His wife, who was in constant
attendance at the trial, received the
verdict dispassionately.
As city prosecutor Eddie gained much
prominence because of his drastic meas
ures in the enforcement of ordinances
dealing with public morals, several of
which were drafted by him."
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."
