DECISION ON MANN ACT
IS NOW EXPECTED
WASHINGTON Dec. 6.—With the
submission of the Supreme Court of
three so-called "white slavo'’ cases,
the question for future Federal pro
secutions for violation of the Mann
law, when elements of commercial
ized vice or coercion are absent, now
awaits the Court’s decision.
In arguing appeals from convic
tion, under the Mann Act of F. Drew
Caminette and Maury I. Diggs of Sac
ramento. and L. I. Hayes, of Alva,
Okla., Assistant Attorney Generali
Wallace, for the government, asked
the Court to interpret the law sc as
to prohibit interstate transportation
of women for any immoral purposes,
including non-commercial, personal,
immoral escapades.
The contention that Congress nev- j
er intended the law to apply to casps
of mere immorality, without the ele
[ments of commercial traffic or co
jercion was presented by former Sen
ator Bailey, of Texas, and Harry O.
Glasser, of Enid, Okla. for the de
fendants.

Millers Limit Orders.
MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 6.—Local
millers, it is announced, will refuse
orders for longer than sixty day de
liveries during the present high price
of wheat. Fear of a sudden break
in the market as a result of possible
peace negotiations, an embargo on
wheat, and various other causes, was
given aB the reason.
When employes evince affection
for the boss it is usually a sign that
they are not working very hard.
After a man has consumed ab"Ut
eight cigars in a row, he goes to bed
feeling that it would be an easy mat
ter to give up smoking. But the feel
ing is different next day.
