"Is that the editor of the Tele

"Yeh, this is the editor."

the paper this morning about my
rooster setting off the burglar alarm
and fooling the dickens out o' me?"
"Yeh, what about it?"

All Personal, Immoral
Inter-State Escapades Are
Under White Slave Act
Washington, D. C„ Jan. 15.—Inter
preting the Mann white slave law, the
Supreme Court to-day decided that
prosecutions under tire law for trans
porting women in inter-state com
merce arc not limited to commercial
ized vice, and include personal, im
moral escapades. Conviction of F.
Drew Canrinettl and Maury I. Diggs,
of Sacramento, was affrmed.
The court was divided. The major
ity opinion was given by Justice Day.
Chief Justice White and Justices Mc-
Kenna and Clarke dissented. Justice
Mcßeynolds took no part in considera
tion of the cases.
"The plain terms of the act must
take precedence over the designation
and the report that accompanied it to
Congress," said Justice Day. "It is
said it will open the door to blackmail,
but that is to be considered by Con
gress. We think the power of Con
gress to regulate transportation of pas
sengers affords ample basis to exercise
authority in the case of this statute."
Following interpretation of the
Mann act, the court also affirmed con
viction of L. T. Hays, of Alva, Okla.

City Health Officer
Shouldn't Be Ashman
Declares Dr. v ßaunick
Dr. J. M. .T. Raunick said this morn
ing: that his annual report to Council
will again contain a recommendation
that ash and garbage collection b
made a municipal enterprise and that
the work be placed under the super
vision of a separate bureau.
"It is not the business of a health
officer to worry about whether or not
a reduction company is hauling the
ashes away on schedule time," declared
I)r. Raunick, "and if he busies himself
with such details he cannot be serving
the city's best interests in the prob
lems of life and death."
PROGRESSIVES TO
BE RECOGNIZED
G. O. P. Executive Committee
Meets; Aggressive 1920 Cam
paign to Start Now
New York, Jan. 15.—The degree of
recognition to be given the Progressives
probably >vill be discussed this after
noon at the meeting of the executive
committee of the National Republican
Committee. Six progressives were mem
bers of the Republican campaign com
mittee during the late presidential cam
paign, and if any members of that party
receive places in the executive commit
tee it is expected that they will be
chosen from the six.
"Of course we will want the Progres
sives with us," said Committeeman Al
vah H. Martin. "I favor any project
that will make for harmony. The re
sult of the November election demon
strated this need."
Charles B. Warren, national commit
teeman from Michigan, declared at once
in favor of beginning a Progressive
campaign which would place the party
in the best possible position for the
presidential fight In 1920. "We should
seek to cooperate closely with the Re
publican congressional committee," said
Mr. Warner, "to insure a successful
campaign in 1018."

Some of the "Inside" Information in

5 to •! cents per loaf was explained
this afternoon to the Civic Club of
Harrisburg by City Sealer Harry D.
Reel.
Mr. Reel had been asked by the. club
to discuss the commodities question at

while his talk dwelt particularly with
the bread situation, he urged in a gen
eral way the advantages of buying
food products by weight rather than
by numerical count.
Incidentally the Civic Club consid
ered the adoption of a resolution sug
gesting that all grocers, bakers and
other dealers in foodstuffs sell by
weight rather than by the other meth
ods. This action was heartily endorsed
