The Senate committee investigating the "white slave" problem -will go to New York city next week to consult with John I). Rockefeller, regarding plans for the suppression of the evil. Announcement to this effect was made this morning by Senator Esmond Beall, of Alton, a member of the committee and introducer of the resolution under which the investigation was started. Although the commission took an indefinite recess yesterday, a force of its investigators went to work in Chicago today gathering data on the following subjects: The stage, with particular reference to the environment of chorus girls; restaurants, to show the wages and environments of waitresses; stenographers, their wages and environment; reports that vice resorts, since the closing of the segregated district, exist in residential sections, and popular songs, the words of which are suggestive'. Lieutenant Governor O'Hara.

chairman of the commission, said be had received from the Governors of Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Nebraska communications promising co-operative vice crusades in those States. A number of complaints as to extreme immodesty of costumes worn on the stage leached the commission recently, which body will seek a method of censorship. Cabaret entertainments also will be investigated. Some of these are of real merit, but it is said that ethers in rooms which are mere adjuncts to saloon have objectionable features, including suggestive songs. New York State to Co-operate ALBANY, N.

March 11. Ten husky railroad detectives made short work of the first demonstration attempted by striking railroad gangs on this division of the West Jersey and Seasore Railroad this morning, when they halted a Joody of eighty armed strikers on the march from Camden and Woodbury to this place and dispersed them. Stacy Dooling, lieutenant of the Pennsylvania Railroad police at Camden, headed the detectives, who encountered the head of the strikers' line at Lamb's road, between Pitman and Sewell, shortly before 9 o'clock this morning. Dooling said that the foreigners had threatened a trackwalker. When the detectives lined the men up to Search them for weapons part of the crowd broke and ran, throwing away guns and knives as they fled.

Fifty-six strikers were rounded up and marched under guard to this place, where they were shut in the passenger station. After a conference over the telephone with officials at Camden Dooling offered the strikers the alternative of returning home quietly or going to jail. Two LradrrR Taken Forty-two of them elected to buy tickets back to Camden. Others were marched over the road to Mantua, where they boarded trolley cars for Camden. Two of the leaders of the strikers were taken to the Gloucester county jail at Woodbury and charges preferred against them of carrying concealed weapons.

It is said that special detachments of railroad police from Pittsburgh and New York will be placed on this division today to patrol the tracks and guard against attempted violence by the strikers. The entire section gang at oodbury joined the strikers this morning. This gang was taken to Pennegrove yesterday morning, but the agitators had little difficulty in getting Woodbury to join in the strike. All night long the tracks of the Wrest Jersey and Seashore Railroad were patrolled by officers who stated todav that they are not objecting to the men quitting, but they must keep away from the railroad property. Special Detective Donnelly said that ofrh-ers of the railroad are endeavoring to break up the strike and that a sufficient number of policemen are patrolling the road with orders to arrest for violations of the law.

He claims plenty of men can be obtained to work if protection is offered, which the railroad company intends to give. For an hour this morning a hundred strikers were parading about WToodbury and residents feared an outbreak ot violence for a time, until the borough officials drove them away. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company paid off and discharged all of its striking section hands on the Trenton division, so the matter is ended as far as it is concerned, unless the disgruntled employes seek to make trouble among those engaged in their places. Similar action will be taken in the West Morrisville yards tomorrow and a strong force of State constabulary and private guards will 'be on hand in anticipation of rioting. Repairmen Strike at Lancaster Special to The Inquirer.

LAXCASTER, March 11. The majority of the track repairmen on the Philadelphia division of the Pennsylvania Railroad between Harrisburg and Coates-ville went out on strike today. They are receiving for a ten-hour day and demand twenty cents an hour for a nine-hour day. Many of the strikers are foreigners and they are flocking into this city. The companv apprehends no difficulty in dealing with the situation.

In widening the scope of the original scheme so- as to include all of the important civic bodies in the plan of consolidation, the committee has opened the way to establish an.

He declared that the present construction, of the building hindered the growth and development of Market street on the west side of City Hall and that it would continue to do so just as long as free passage of vehicle and pedestrian traffic was interfered with. He said it was a crime to have permitted the building to be erected in its present form and was now a crime for the business men to allow it to remain as it is. Hindrance 1o TrnfHc "We have a progressive Mayor and a progressive Councils," he said, "and we can bring alwmt this change if the business men will only take vigorous action and urge it. Market street must be driven through City Hall. The barrier which compels traffic to move a square around the building must be removed.

I am satisfied that with the opening of the building, as suggested, the Rapid Transit Company would be willing to pay the sum of a year. It would mean a saving of this much to the wear and tear which their equipment now sustains in circling the structure. "It could be accomplished for I am told, and would more than're-itav the city in the progress that would follow. Twenty years ago when we had half the population that we now boast of, the construction of the building was looked upon as a hindrance' to the business expansion of Philadelphia. Its reconstruction was advocated then, but the time for it was never morepotent than now.

We will never get this consideration as long as there is li an obstruction in the Ar City Hall is as it now stands.

W.

J. Eldridge. a well-known merchant, declared that Mayor Blankenburg favored the reconstruction of City Hall so as to open up Market street to vehicle traffic and at his suggestion a committee of twelve was appointed to urge Councils to consider the proposed changes. Mr. Eldridge declared that at the present the real business activity of Market street was confined between the Delaware and Juniper street.

He predicted that the west end of the thoroughfare would feel a great wave of prosperity just as soon a the proposed improvements to City Hall were made. tenegrins in capturing the Turkish fortress of Scutari.

The South Jersey members tried hard today to have it amended to give all counties equal representation and thereby make it certain that the control of the Senate would not be given to the northern section of the State. The amendment was proposed by Assemblyman Marshall, of this city, and provided that the convention should- be made up of two delegates from each.

county. It was defeated 16 to 35, and no further action on the original measure was taken. It will likely come up for final passage tomorrow, and if today's test of strength is a criterion, it will doubtless have easy sailing. Marshall Defends Position The debate over the bill was the most strenuous the House has had so far this season. There had been much private discussion of the amendments and the opinions of all of the members had been well defined.

Mr. Marshall said that since the introduction of the bill little had been heard about the intent of the proposed convention further than that it might change the Senatorial representation. He said that his county and other smaller counties of the State were fearful of this. Mr. Hennessy followed him.

He said he was glad the issue had been made so clear for "the members of the House and the people of New Jersey Such an amendment would mean that people would control the affairs ot 537,000 persons," he said. Minority Leader Richards, of Atlantic, said that to his mind the convention was clearly a plan to perpetuate the Democratic Party in the State. He claimed that the great moral strength of thejbtate came from the rural counties, and that they were entitled to fair and equal Senatorial representation. Crossing Bill Passed During the afternoon the Assembly passed the Fielder grade crossing abolition bill and it will now go to the Governor for aoprcval. The measure was introduced by Mr.

Fielder himseif, there is no doubt whatever but that be will sign it. Assemblymen Salus of Atlantic City, and Hennessy, of Bergen, were the only members to oppose it. lhe bill extends the power of the Public Utilities Commission so as to enable that body to provide for the abolition of all railroad grade crossings, the entire cost of elevation to be borne by the railroad companies, except in the event of a trolley crossing and the relaying of municipal and sewer pipes. Just before the Assembly adjourned late this afternoon, the boxing bill was taken up for final consideration and was passed by a vote of 32 to lo. The measure, introduced by Mr.

Kerwin 1 as-saie, establishes a State Athletic Commission to regulate boxing and sparring. in defending it, he declared it was a piece of progressive legislation designed to advance clean sport and make men ot the State's youths. Governor Casts Vote To establish a precedent and his position sure, acting Governor Fielder presided at the opening session ot the Senate and voted on the passage of a bill He acted in accordance with an opinion from the Attorney General, who heid that there was nothing in the Constitution to prevent him from presiding and voting. The Attorney General regards him as still the representative the Senate of Hudson county. A unique argument was advanced at a Senate committee's hearing today on the Leavitt bill providing for a board of censorship for motion picture' theatres when Dr.

Wallace Home, of Jersey City, declared that the measure would prohibit him from teaching his Sunday school class by means of motion pictures He reminded the committee that the bill made unlawful the depicting of any crime and said that one film he desired to use in his Bible class was the story of the Good Samaritan, in which the picture of the man fallen upon by thieves is shown. This shows a crime being committed and Avould not be permitted should the bill become a law.

RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA WILL DEMOBILIZE ST. PETERSBURG, March 11 Demobilization by Russia and Austria-Hungary was announced tonight in an ofti-cial communication issued by the two countries.

This sets forth that the exchange of letters between Emperor Francis Joseph and Emperor Nicholas liave proved the continued friendship of the two nations and that both are desirous of maintaining peace. "The two governments, therefore," continues the communication, "have arrived at the agreement that certain measures of a purely defensive character in the frontier provinces are no longer required, and accordingly have decided to reduce the Austro-riungariau forces in Galicia to a normal footing, while Russia will diand the reservists which should have been disbanded in autumn." The Austrian agreement affects only the Russian frontier. A semi-official Russian agency is authorized to state that as a result of the explanations exchanged with the Vienna Cabinet, Austria cherishes no aggressive policy against her neighbors in the South.

Ojeda is" completely bottled up, and in a telegram to Huerta tonight he explains his predicament. Obregon and Colonel Juan Cabral are now at Magdalena and their force is estimated at about a thousand men. Elias Calles, who has been recruiting at the Mormon colony of Co-lonia Moreles, is reported to be on his wav to' join them with five hundred men. All railroad lines in the North are controlled by the constitutionalists and the Federals have been able to do little damage, as thev have been afraid to go very far from the border town on their errands of destruction. The fact that the Huerta government has been unable to get reinforcements to the garrison at Agua Pneta.

Naco and Nogales has greatly relieved the situation on the American side of the border. It is not believed that with the small forces at their disposal either Ojeda or Kosterlitzky will attempt any defense. Kosterlitzky Reported U. S. Prisoner TUCSON, March 11.

It was reported without confirmation here today that Colonel Kosterlitzky, commander" of Federals at Nogales, Sonora, had tied to the American side and is a prisoner of United States troops.

March 11. Democrats who have found little to hope for in the way of small jobs are extracting some comfort from a statement made today by Postmaster General A. S. Burleson, that "something may be done to compel an examination of the fitness of the postmasters before President Taft's order giving them the protection of civil service is allowed to become final." Mr. Burleson, while declaring that the administration has not reached a final decision as to enforcing the Taft order, said his own view was in sympathy with the proposition that fourth-class postmasters should be under the civil service, but "he was inclined to doubt whether 30,000 men should have been permanently fixed by Taft order without some sort of an examination as to their merit and fitness." Democratic members of the House are hopeful that examinations of all these postmasters will be ordered before civil service becomes effective.

They feel that with the proper tests several hundred will be eliminated, thus throwing open as many jobs. Weather at Winter Resorts P. R. R.

The outlook is indeed encouraging." At the meeting yesterday representatives of the Chamber of Commerce. Board of Trade and Merchants and Manufacturers Association were present. The work of adopting a specific plan of consolidation is in the hands of these men. When it is finally approved, it will be submitted to the individual bodies for their consideration. Among those who favor the establishing of an aggressive central body there is a strong feeling that the Commercial Exchange and the Maritime Exchange will join in the movement.

Should the three bodies now considering the plan finally adopt it and agree to the merger, steps will at once be taken to have the other associations become part of the consolidation.
