TRAFFIC IN WOMEN.
REVOLTING REVELATIONS. PROCURERS IN GERMANY. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Oct. 12. Delegates from 17 countries attended the conference of the International 1 Bureau for the Suppression of the Traffic in Women and Children, at Caxton Hall, Bishop Ryle presiding. Shocking evidence of the white slave traffic was presented. For example, two traffickers were caught in Germany last week, one of whom confessed that he brought 50 girls to Holland during the year. A letter from one trafficker led to tho arrest of another. He wrote: "Five lassies arrived, and have been sent to New York. Hamburg was full of police, but after hard work we brought the girls to the steamer. Two girls nearly betrayed us by crying, but you know the effect of chloroform. At San Francisco they may cry for their father and mother as much as they like. If you have further merchandise bring it immediately. A • cheque for 1000 dollars follows. If tho girls aro not willing, take them to the place I told you of. There they will become reasonable. Destroy this letter immediately."
