WHITE SLAVERY
As Seen by united States
Government Official.
Wiles by Which Innocent
Girls Are.Ruined.
No Women Wholly Safe—
Work of Vicious Men.
Lonisville, Xy, despatch: Stauley W.
Vinehe chief of the bureau et inveetiga-
tion Of the Federal Department. of Jus-
tice, which for zionae time has been wag-
ing ae exteusive war on the white slave
treffic, delivered the principal addrees
before the World's Purity Congress. The
eongress is being held uoder the aus-
piees of the World's Purity Federation,
Poe international organization for the
purpose of combating Ilia particular
phaee of the social evil, and Mr, Fincide
exposition of the problem from the
etandpoint of the Government was
beard with interest. He said in part:
The white slave traffic! What is itt
Whom and what does it involve? is it
possible to .suppress it, and „if so how?
These are questions which are being
*ked by thousands of people in all
parts of the country, and it is my
purpose to attempt to enswer them.
There are itow eeattered throughout
the United States a vast number of men
and. women whose sole occupation is
enticing, tricking, or coercing young
women and girls into immoral lives and
then either living directly off of their
illieit earning e or transferring them for
a consideration to anent for a similar
purpose. These creatures make mer•
ehandie-e of wonaankind arid do a big,
thriving business, They are no respecter
of persons, While they • prefer very
young girls, they frequently select young
women who are wives and mothers.
Their methods lia..ve been so developed
that they seem able to enenare almost
any woman or girl whom they select.
Thie
is an extraordinary statement, but
that it is true no one can doubt who
reviews the evidence already in the pos.
session of the Attorney -General' e bur-
eau of investigation.
The idea which prevails is that the vic-
tims are girls who are naturally vici-
ous. This is far from the truth. It is
true that among these unfortunates are
women actuated solely by wantonness.
Rowever, the great majority have been
led to such lives by deception and trick --
Ty or driven by force and fraud.
The devices of these fiends are many
and varied and are calculated to reach
girls in all:0st all walks of life, but
particularly those who go into the busi-
ness world to earn money.
The cleverly worded advertisement
for help is perhaps the most insidioue
instrument used. :By this xneans these
traffickers reach every home and busi-
ness establieliment and ensnare even
the most cautious and innocent and
those most carefully guarded by re-
latives and friend. Hence it is true
that no man's daughter, sister or wife
—if she be young and attractive—is
safe from the devices., of these traffick-
ers, Of course, these intma,n beasts are
generally careful observers of human
nature, and are quick to single out girls
who, while virtuous, are inclined to be
careless, and through dietaste for par-
ental restraint undertake to select their
own companions, amusements and oc-
oupations. Among such the white slaver
finds a limitless field for his trade. In
this enenection the theatre, the mov-
ing picture show, the cafe, the skating
rink and the dance hall, while in them -
*wives often useful for education, and
entertainment, become instruments for
the eicrwnfall of the most innocent and
virtuous.
A few months ago a country girl 20
years of age, attending a moving pic-
ture show in this city snot a woman
who offered to get ,domestie employ-
ment for her in a distant southern
eity. The girl accepted the offer an
ung the railroad ticket furnished by
her false friend went to the address
given, and not until size was imprison-
ed in that houee and abused
did 6he realize that this woman wee the
tool of a. set of fiends. Through a for-
tunate chain of circumstances tide girl
escaped, but the awful business re-
mains.
ettenong many cases in our records is
one involving a ,girl of 17 employed as a
telephone operator in a small city on
Lake Miehigan, She attended a dance
where She net a young man apparently
of good character, lie was ;however, a
procurer for a house in e large -city.
While accompanying this girl along the
country road to. her home he abused
her and subsequently placed her in a
house of ill fame. This man is now
servinq five .years in the penitentiary.
The girl was rescued and returned to
her parents.
1.n. very many cases proeurers endea-
vor, through promise of marriage, or by
going through the form of marriage, to
obtain control of girls. In a recent ease
a girl of 17 became acquainted with a
man who appeared to be a of gooil ehar-
setter, After a brief courtship they were
married tuul left on a, wedding trip to a
neighboring eity, where the husband at-
tempted to persuade the wife to engage
in prostitution. Ily this means the
girl was degraded to the point vhere
her master was able to Ione her to so-
lieit Oft the streets, and finally elle was
transferrecl by her proeurer, through a
„white slave ageney in New York, to a
house of ill fame in Washington, where
Ishe was when the facts were developed
by our bureau. As a result of the pros.
eeution in thie ease, the defendant was
eettenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary and the girl was restored to her
parents.
lu another recent ease a white slaver
succeeded in separating a very young
eveman from her Imehand, and under the
pretext of proeuring ti. divoree and of
marrying her, led 'her into tot immoral
life, and tonally eompelled- her to prim-
tiee proetitution and turn over her earn-
ing,3 to him.
There are a multitsule of other caries
in which young women and •girls from
13 years of age arid upward of good
moral eharacter lieve hi a variety of
ways Wen led or driven by deception,
fraud and force into betonting victims
of the white slave trade.
One thing difficult for people general-
ly to underetend is the manner in which
thete girls are ltd to eontinue in their
immoral lives, anj to surrender their
earnings after the physical restraint to
livhfoll they are at fitst subjected is re,
rttetted, It ithould be remembered that
theee Ririe fell into the hand* of

beach them as speedily as possible to
such an extent that they as well as
everyone else will feel that they are
hopelessly lost and that there is a.bso-
lutely no chance for them to go back
to their old mode of life, The girl no
doubt takes comfort in the fact that her
relatives and friends know nothing of
the degradation to which she has been
driven . The procurer, knowing that she
feels that it would be better to perish
than to bring shame upon her mother or
her relatives. usc.s thita knowledge as a
club to force her to do his bidding, if
he sees a disposition on her part to re-
turn home or to engage in some legiti-
mate oecupation he threatens to tell her
raother and friends all about her.
Meanevhile the traffickers take prac-
tically all of the earnings and spend it
for flashy clothes and. in gambling and
drinking and soliciting trade for their
slaves.
In most cities of size there are resta.u.
rants and other places where tlfese
slavers congregate. With them the girls
are mere chattels and are spoken of as
"meal tickets" oi. "stock" and deals are
made for the exchange of girls, or for
turning them over to other traffickers.
.As for the girl herself, between the ma-
dam, who receives half her earnings, and
the man who tekes the rest and by
whom ehe is held to a strict account,
and ig beaten and otherwise abused if
her earnings do not -satisfy him, she is
indeed in a miserable plight. No other
foem of slavery ever devised can equal
her condition.
Days might be consumed explaining
the conditions involved by this traffic,
but if it has been made clear that it
extends throughout the country, that it
involves conditions that are a. disgrace
to the nation, it would ;seem that little
else need be said =less it be to all that

it atrtive propaganda it has had
the vigorous eompeartieni of the direct -
tor of the Paris common schools. In a
circular adaressed to all teachers, he
urges the forrnatiou of temperance
leaguee among the senool ehildren. tie
says that girls as well as boys should
take part iu he fight.
"It
is true that a woman is not, as a

tent that a man ie, but in view of her

.Asa result of this eircular, the nun -
bees of temperance societies in the
Paris sehools doubled in 1909,
The Minister of Public Instruction
also issued an appeal, in which 'he says
to the teachers:
"You should use, every oPportunity
to extend tempeeauce eoeieties in the
primary and secondary grades. Meer
countries are Betting us a good exam -
pie. Thus in Belgium the number of
school temperance eocietitee is now 5,193,
with 120,099 pupil members,"
As a result of this state paper, hun.
deeds of tiew eeetions of the leaguil
have been formed in the teaching body.
With 10,000 franca voted by the Freneh
Parliament to the e.oelety, 5,0fl0. teach-
ers in drink-eursed Normandy have
been given a free subscription to the
league's admirable paper, "L'ettoile
Bleue."
Of the many fermis of popular propo-
ganda which the National Leagee car-
ries on, the distribution of an anti -alco-
hol almanac is most effective. fln ione
large co-operative society not onty has
alcohol been forbidden, but money has
