motorcycle shopkeeper, Alfredo Coc
chl, who formerly had shdps above
both these basements.
Other developments In the Cruger
murder mystery. Including a letter
from the Cruger girl's father to
Mayor Mitchel, demanding the re
moval of Police Commissioner Woods
and condemning the inefficiency oi
the police in his daughter's case,
came fast.
The district attorney's office today
made a statement tending to show an
organized white slave traffic existing-
between the United States and
South American countries In which
Cocchl may have had a hand.

Woods instructed? Inspector Faurot to
"get at the bottom of the entire
Cruger and white slave situations and
spare no one."

she said her husband was familiar.
New York Is Aroused
New York, June 21. (I. N. S.) New
York Is aroused to the peril of the
White Slave traffic. A gigantic move
ment to forever stamp out this evil
has been started. This is the result of
the murder of Ruth Cruger, the high
school girl. The police have records
showing that nearly 700 young girls
have been missed from their homes
since the first of the year.
Mrs. Grace Humlston, the woman
through whose efforts the Cruger girl's
body was found, came out with a state
ment Wednesday that Alfredo Cocchi,
indicted for the murder, was only
tool of the white slave ring. She de
clared the "system" was composed of
men of such prominence that their
names would amaze the country.
"Bring Cocchl back from Italy,"' she
said. "That Is more important than
anything else right now."

day to General BruslloffB pledge that
Russia will fight as expressed in a
message to General Sir William Rob

staff. The Petrograd war office re
ported fusillades and aerial activities
on all fronts.
General Bruslloffa messars u In

In honor bound, free Russia's ar

RUSSIA WILL FIGHT FOR
FREEDOM OF PEOPLE,
SAYS FOREIGN MINISTER
of the boldest and newest republics
In the world. The Russian people, for
centuries enslaved by a government
which was not that which tbe feel
ing of the nation wished or wanted,'
have shaken oft the fetters which
bound them, and as the wind blows
away the leaves in autumn, so the
government which has bound us for
centuries has fallen and nothing Is
left but the free government of the
people.
Conscious of Hew Strength
"So the Russian people now stand
before the world conscious of their
strength and astonished at the ease
with which that revolution happened.
The first days of our freedom indeed
brought surprise to us as well as to
the rest of the world, but the day
wmcn brought the revolution was not
only a day which brought freedom for
it, but brought us face to face with
two enormous problems which now
stand before the Russian people. These
proDiems are tne creation of a stronc
democratic force in the interior of Rus
sia and a fight with the common foe
without, with that foe which Is fight
ing you as well as us and which Is now
the last form and last strength of
autocracy. It was with a feeling of
gladness that we found you on the
siae or tne allies and that after our
revolution there was no autocracy
among those with whom we found
ourselves fighting.
Have Zfo Wish, of Conquest
"We found with Joy that In the hlsh.
lofty motives which have Impelled your
great republic to enter this conflict,
there Is no strain of autocracy or spirit
of conquest and our free people shall
be guided by these same high, lofty mo
tives and principles.
"The Russian people have bo wish of
conquest or dominion and are opposed
to those Ideas in others. First of all
they will not allow any of these imperi
alistic desires which our enemy has
formed, manifest or hidden, to come to
good in whatever sphere he may have
planned them, political, financial or
economic."
Anarchists Kill 20.
Petrograd,. June 21. (I. N. S.)
Taking advantage of the situation
created by the revolution, anarchists
established a reign of terror in the
government of Tomsk, Western Sibe
ria, and martial law was proclaimed
there today.
More than 20 persons were killed by
the outlaws and robbery became the
common thing. More than 2000 ar
rests have already been made.
Russians Hasten Home
San Francisco. June 21. (P. N. S.)
Ten thousand Russians, leaders In this
country of the revolutloSary move
ment, political exiles, men who have
served in Siberian prisons, will be in
their fatherland within the next few
months preaching the gospel of free
dom and democracy, explaining 'what
the war is all about and what the en
trance of the United States means, and
urging the Russian army not to con
clude a separate peace with Germany.
Fifteen hundred to 2000 already have
passed through San Francisco on their
way home, and 150 more will leave next
Saturday. In the party will be Boris
Koulimovitch, a leader of the revolu
tionary movement In the United States.
Also In the party will be Esi litklns,
known as the Russlsn Joan ' of '. Arc

Today's Aid to Beauty
Hair Is by far the most conspicuous a
thing about u and Is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or ears
less treatment. If we are very ears,
ful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An asps
dally fine shampoo for this weather,"
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff, excess .
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolving
a teaspoonful of canthrox (which yon
can get at any druggist's) In a cup
of hot water. This makes a full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough so It Is
easy to apply It to all the hair Instead
of Just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all Impurities and
creates a soothing, cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
dean, soft and pliant, while the hair
takes on the glossy richness of nat
ural color, also a flufflnoss. which
makes It seem much heavier than It
is. After a canthrox shampoo, arrang
ing the hair is a pleasure.
