STUTTGART
(United Prtu raaed Wire.)
San Francisco, Sept. 6. Whether F.
Drew Camlnetti of Sacramento is
guilty or not guilty of breaking the
Mann white slave act by taking to
Reho, Nev., Lola Norris, also of Sacra
mento, "for Immoral purposes," prob
ably will be determined here before
night by a jury in United States Judge
Van Fleet's court, which took the case
at 12:10 o'clock today.
Up to 12:30 o'clock the Jury deliber
ated on the four counts In the indict
ment against Camlnetti, and at that
time Judge Van Fleet adjourned court
until 2 p. m.
As in the trial of Maury I. Dlggs,0the
defense took an exception to the court's
charge as a basis for carrylngan appeal
to the higher courts.
Warns Against Pity.
At the conclusion of his instructions
Judge Van Fleet impressed upon the
Jury that they were not to allow sym
pathy for the family of the defendunt to
tlhcture their judgment.
This followed shortly upon the inter
ruption by Mrs. A. Caminetti Sr., wife
of the commissioner general of immi
gration and mother of the defendant,
who rose during the proceedings to ob
ject passionately to a part of Govern
ment Prosecutor Sullivan's argument.
The salient points set cut in Judge
Van Fleet's instructions were that it
was sufficient to establish the guilt
of Camlnetti if the Jury found that he
had aided in securing the transporta
tion of Lola Norris and Marsha War
rington from Sacramento to, Reno,
whether he actually had anything to
do with buying the tickets or not.
"It is not necessary,'' said JLbe court,
"to show any Specific declaration of
intent to carry them there for immoral
purposes. Debauchery, as contemplated
in the Mann act, Includes any stops
taken by a man to lure a woman away
from the paths of virtue.

now using the ends of the city streets
abutting the river are to be required to
pay rent to the city, the rate to he fixed
according to the assessed valuation of
the property. C. A. Bigelow, commis
sioner of finance, announced at the
"kitchen cabinet" meeting of the coun
cil this morning that he was now work
ing out a plan to put into effect soon
to secure revenue from this source
Concerns or individuals using other!
streets which really are for public us
age are also to be compelled to pay rent.
The question-of allowing private con
cerns to use the ends or the streets on
the river has been before city admin
istrations for a number of years. All
of those now using these streets have
the privilege by revocable permit. May
or Albee this morning suggested that
the city should receive some revenue
from this source when Commissioner
Bigelow announced that he was work
lng on the plan.
This new scheme will affect a number
of lumber companies, mills, transporta
tion companies and other concerns oc
cupying ground near the waterfront be
sides others scattered thrayghout the
city. It is probable that the Portland
baseball park will also be affected.
Deputy City Attorney Tomllnsou an
nounced that the city had the power to
collect rents for those streets, so it is
likely that an ordinance giving the city
the power will be drafted soon.
