Rumor To This Effect Cre ates Much Interest as the Task of Selecting the Jury Goes On In Slow Manner. ROBERT WHITE IS WITNESS WANTED He Is Said to Be In Philadel phia, Ready to Return to Chicago If Assured He Will Be Protected. Chicago, Alay 25.—Reports that Rob ert AVhite. missing state witness in the AVilliam I). Shepherd murder trial, was in Philadelphia, and intended to return to Chicago “if given protection” created interest here as the defense and prosecu tion continued the task of selecting a jury. AVitli only four jurors selected after a week’s effort which was attended by two minor sensations, the disappearance of AVhite and the statement of Philip Barry, a prospective juror, involving James C. Callen, a politician who, it was learned, that precautions of an un | usual nature would govern every act of i the state’s attorney in the future con duct of the trial, State’s Attorney Crowe said that every man picked by him would have to undergo a most care ful investigation, questioning and scruti nizing. Every safeguard will be placed about the state’s witness, it wa sstated. Counsel for Shepherd reiterated his de nial that any one acting in Shelpherd’s behalf had anything to do with the dis appearance of AA’hite or the assertions of Barry.

Postal Authorities War Against Ob scene Matter. AVashington. May 23.—Recent in crease in the flood of questionable mat ter offered for transmission through the mails, has led to further tightening of the routine safeguards employed in the postal service for keeping it out and for prosecution of those violating the federal statutes in that regard. Thousands of complaints have come to the office of the postmaster general from parents and associations asking that the department augment its efforts to pro tect children from obscene literature and pictures. The close surveillance exercised over the character of matter passing through the mails, officials believe, has affected a material decrease in the number of dealers in pornographic matter. Fed eral courts have discouraged the efforts of such dealers by upholding the post office department in each instance where ruling excluding obscene matters from the mails has been challenged. Foreign dealers, especially since the war and the return of American sol diers from Europe, have been active in endeavoring to dispose of their products in this country. In many instances foreign consignments are intercepted at custom houses. The trade of these of fenders has been crippled by the postal authorities returning to senders letters addressed to all known dealers in ob scene matter, by confiscating great ! quantities of unmailable advertising circulars and the materials as well, and by acquainting those attempting to im port such matter with their responsibili ty and liability to prosecution under the penal provisions of the laws. The numerous small magazines, de pending for their popularity on the pornographic material in them, are the source of continual complaint and the exclusion of many of them from the mails curtails to a considerable extent their widespread circulation. These publications have been responsible for increasing the work of the post office de partment’s legal forces. The magazines when excluded from the mails find their way to newstands through other chan nels. Appointed to Succeed L Me Senator Spencer. Jefferson City.
