One of these girls was a virgin. She was drugged by the procurer and awoke the next morning to find that she was a prisoner in a house of ill fame. She had been sold while robbed of her senses. She had been outraged while unconscious. The landlady approached her the next morning with an air of good fellowship, told of the benefits of the new life, promised her beautiful gowns and jewelry before night and attempted to make her forget the real, sweet and pure things of life which had been so mercilessly stolen from her. This is the story of but one out of thousands. $200,000 ANNUAL WHITE SLAVE PRICE. We have said there are 2,000 White Slaves sold every year. The average price is $100 a girl, according to a well known federal official, who has investigated and prosecuted several hundred cases of White Slavery. That makes the aggregate purchase price of White Slaves in Chicago annually, $200,000! This same official declared that the South side levee district contributes $60,000 a year to the White Slave Trust for new victims. The balance is paid by the resort keepers of the other districts of vice and by keepers of the "houses of call"--the places where men of wealth and bestial perversion seek for virgins on whom to wreak the fury of abandoned passions! Here is a terrible example of the procuring of an innocent girl for the perversion of a wealthy man. Detectives investigating the conduct of a man implicated in graft charges affecting the high personnel of a big railroad, discovered that at a Michigan avenue "house of call" a tender and unsullied virgin procured by White Slave agents, was given into his lust-stained hands for desecration weekly! That same man, the investigation showed, paid as high as $500 for an undefiled child! He even went so far as to go outside of the city, in search of purity and goodness to be sacrificed in the fires of his degenerate passions. THE SHACKLES OF THE WHITE SLAVE. Many a girl after a month of horror, revolts against the conditions confronting her; the terrors in her dreams of the future fill her soul with fear and she yearns for freedom once again. The dreams, which the stories told her by the procurer aroused, have never materialized; she is as poor as she was before she was trapped into the life of shame; she is broken in spirit and in health. Can she walk out a free woman? No. She is a White Slave; the slavery is not just one of selling and purchasing; it is one of permanent bondage in ninety cases out of one hundred. The man who trapped her has become her "cadet." He is her "guardian" for her master. His word is law. She is a slave forever. She is treated brutally if she makes serious attempts at escape; she is even locked in a room and in some instances women have been tied hands and feet to bedposts. She is at times drugged in order to make her forget her misery and her plans of escape. Every possible precaution is taken to prevent her release from bondage.
