There Is no sufficient law against it. The reason why I introduce this bill and call attention to it is because one of those photographs was made with the figure bf a man named Diamond. representing him as shaking hands with the President. The man is engaged in the whiteslave traffic and is being sought for by the inspectors of immigration. I tiink he has been arrested. The matter was brought to my attention by officers of the Immigration Department. le used this photograph in his infamous business. and of course on poor ignorant people it undoubtedly had a great effect. The fact that it is possible to make fraudulent photographs of that kind shows in this instance how they may be used for purposes of fraud and for purposes of crime. It is for that reason that I introduce the bill. to which I ask the attention of the Judiciary Committee.
