It is prob able she saved Brulster's life, as she had her father's arm pinioned in such away during the encounter that her father could not use his pistol. Bruister was arrested. I The affair grew out of Monday’s trag edy in Butler when young Cromwell Ul mer killed himself on the doorstep of Miss Margaret Bruister, daughter of Ben Bruister. They had been sweethearts for years, but Mr. and Mrs. Bruister had or dered them to terminate their love af fairs because of their age.

TtfrE ATLANTA SEMI- WEEKLY JOTRNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY. DECEMBER 14. 190& LABOR LEADERS DISCUSS THE COUNTRV’S STRIKES i President Gompers Presides Over An Important Confer ence Begun in Pittsburg. PITTSBURG. Pa.. Dec. 13.—The eyes of organized labor are turned toward this city, where an important conference of national leaders began at 10 a. m. today under the auspices of the American Fed eration of Labor. How long the confer ence will continue is not definitely known. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation, presided. The 150 delegates represent the various organiza tions affiliated with that body.

TRAFFIC IN GIRLS IS LAID BARE BY REPORT WASHINGTON. Dec. 10-Stories of revolting practices of American and for eign procurers of women for importation into the United States for immoral pur poses are told in a report issued today by the immigration commission. The recom mendations of the commission contem plate a closer scutiny into the admission of alien women and renewed efforts to stamp out the socalled “white slave traf fic.” In explanation of the act of laying bare to the public the details of discov eries by its agents, the commission says that the "white slave traffic” is the most pitiful and the most revolting phase of the immigration question. This business has asumed large proportions, and it has been exerting so evil an influence upon the country that the commission declares that t felt compelled to make it the sub ject of a thorough investigation. Since the subject is especially liable U. sensational exploitation, the report says, it is Important that the statement of the coinfission should deal with undeni able facts which may form a basis of reasonable legislative and administrative action to lessen the evils. The inquiry covered the cities of New York, Chicago. San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake. Ogden, Butte, Denver, Buffalo, Bos ton and New Orleans. No attempt was made to investigate conditions in every important city. But the commission be lieves that enough evidence with reference to women of different races and diffei ent nationalities and living under dif ferent conditions has been obtained from localities sufficiently scattered to wai rant the reports being used as a basis for legislative and administrative action. DEALS WITH METHODS. The report deals with methods used by men and women procurers to lure women into this country for immoral purposes. These methods differ as adopted in dif ferent countries. In some countries men and women in the business of enticing innocent girls to the United States resort to proffers of attractive positions, and in many cases the men offer themselves in marriage and frequently risk prosecution on charges of bigamy in order to at tain their desires. Much of the evidence taken by the agents of the commission is given in proof of statements made in the report, and there are also affidavits from police officers and letters from gov ernment officials giving the character of evidence on which the report has been based. The report says, concerning talk of a great monopolistic corporation whose bus iness it is to import and exploit these unfortunate women: “The commission has been unable to learn of any such corporation and does not believe in its existence.” It is said, however, that persons en gaged in such importing business doubt less have a wide acquaintance and in many instances they have rather close business relations one with another, 30 as to prevent their victims from getting out of their clutches berore they have realized the desired profits from I their base ventures. Under the head of “recommendations” the commission says: RECOMMENDATIONS MADE. “Owing to the difference between Euro pean and American views regarding vice regulation, co-operation for the suppres sion of the white slave traffic* can be ex- pccted from most of the European na tions only along certain lines. Most European countries are rigid in their reg ulations regarding the procuring for im moral purposes minor girls or of any women by means of fraud and deceit. Women who are of age, however, and who enter the business of their own ac cord. are not interfered with. From continental countries where these conditions exist, practically no co-oper st ion could be expected to prevent pro fessionals from sailing to the United pStates. Such governments probably would co-operate to prevent the misleading of ' minors or the fraudulent or forcible ex ' portation of their women. In the main. | however, the United States government : must rely upon its own officials for pre j vention of this traffic. I A number of suggestions of admin i istrative changes and more rigid enforce ment of existing regulations by the de partment of commerce and labor, partic ularly by the bureau of immigration, and amendments of the immigration act it self are submitted by the commission. KENTUCKY 7 IN DOUBT ON NEW INCOME TAX LOUISVILLE. Ky„ Dec. 13.-A canvass by the Courier-Journal of the members of the next Kentucky legislature, which will convene in January, 1910, concerning their attitude toward constitutionalizing the income tax, has brought but meager results. Os the 138 members, but 49 re plied; 21 for. 11 probably favorable, four probably opposed and 13 undecided.

NEW YORK. Dec. 10.—That members of the Twenty-fifth infantry, colored, who were in the fort, fired upon the town at the time their companions were rac ing through lhe streets of the Texas town shooting right and left, is conclu sive evidence said to have been secured by the military court of inquiry into the "shooting-up” of Brownsville, Tex. None of the members of the court of inquiry would discuss the matter, but it is estimated that a demand for the aboli tion of the regiments of negro troops, which are provided for by law will be made by the southern delegation in con . less. Thus the bitter debate that marked the final days of the Roosevelt administra tion threatens to be renewed. The evidence discovered by the officers who compose the court is said to be sus ceptible of complete proof. Certain mem bers, it is reported, made personal exam ination of buildings across the road from the fort in Brownsville and discovered bullet holes in the sides of three houses. Continuing their Investigations, they dis covered the bullets, which were of the regulation army design. Following back the line of fire as shown by the track of the bullet, the marksmen could have been nowhere else than within the bar r&cks. ’ t The congressional defenders of the ne gro infantrymen maintained that the only firing in the town was done by men of the Twenty-fifth who had broken parole, and that former President Roosevelt, in discharging two companies without indi vidual military trial, had worked a se vere injustice on both the companies and the regiment. It is understood that the court which Is now here and has practically concluded its examination of the evidence it has se cured will permit such discharged mem bers of the regiment as care to do so io appear before it and testify. The hear ings will be held here. WHOLESALE FRAUD'S DISCLOSED BY PROBE WASHINGTON, Dec” 11.—Efforts to recover all moneys due and to punish the persons involved in the sugar frauds at New York are to be vigor ously pushed, according to Attorney- General Wickersham, whose annual re port was laid before congress today. The evidence, he says, has disclosed a network of corruption, not confined to the American Sugar Refining company, and extending over a period of years, affecting both importers and officers of the government. He asks for a spe cial appropriation or fuu.OOO so that the prosecutions may effectively pro ceed. An important announcement is that questions not determined by the su preme court in what are known as the “commodities clause cases,” arising un der the law relating to Interstate com merce, are to be presented hereafter for judicial determination. In the public lands frauds prosecu tions, the attorney general makes It clear that he is determined in no re spects to abate the effort to successful ly conclude them. Recommendation Is made for a gen eral immunity statute to meet the con ditions which arise in the endeavor to procure testimony for the government. Further litigation touching the “com modities clause cases,” arising under the interstate commerce law. is promised bv the attorney general. Discussing the de cision of the supreme court in these cases Mr. Wickersham says it does not “necessarily determine the application of the statute to cases w’here the commou | ities transported are owned by a corpo ration, all. or substantially all, of whose stock is owned by the carrier corpora tion at the time of transportation, and especially where the carrier shall have transferred all of its interest in such com modities to a corporation formed for the express purpose of evading the prohibi tion of the commodities clause,and all or substantially all-of the stock in whlcii is owned by the carrier. Those questions will be presented for determination in the courts. If the pro hibition of the statute can be success fully evaded by the simple device of transfer of ownership of the property to a corporation, all of whose stock shall be owned or controlled by the carrier, congress should amend the statute so as to make it an effectual and not a merely illusory prohibition, or else re peal it.” In the matter of public land fraud pros ecutions the attorney general makes it clear his determination in no respect to abate the effort to undo, so far as may be, the frauds “which have been for so long a time perpetrated in the procuring for private individuals of portions of the public domain contrary to the con ditions under which congress has au thorized these lands to be patented.” Important recommendations contained in the report include those for a broad ening of the right of appeal of the gov ernment in criminal cases; a repeal of section 860 of the revised statutes re garding evidence in criminal cases, the enactment of a general immunity statute to meet the. conditions which arise In the endeavor to procure testimony for the government; favoring a national law providing for indeterminate sentences and a modification of the statute fixing the punishment for embezzlement or misap plication of the funds of a national bank at Imprisonment for five years. The attorney general refers to the un satisfactory sanitary conditions at the District of Columbia jail, which, he says | is a reproach to the national government, I and he earnestly recommends an appro- i priatlon adequate to make necessary Im- I provements. Will Build Trolley Line WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., Dec. 13.-A i franchise has been granted under a char- | ter granted by the last legislature for ' building, maintaining and operating an electric railway wLthln the corporate | limits of East Bend?

Greely tendered his resignation as a mem ber of the Explorers' club almost at the beginning of the Peary-Cook controversy and It has been accepted. This became known today through the club's secretary, Harry C. V. alsh. "I am not in a position to say whether General Greely’s resignation was due to the Cook-Peary controversy,” said Mr. Walsh. “In view of his friendship for Dr. Cook, however, and the confidence he expressed In him, his resignation be so construed by many persons. “I can say that he did not mention Dr. Cook in his letter to the club. It was just a curt note of resignation and did not give any reason for the step.” It was learned today that the members of the Explorers’ club had made a strong effort to persuade General Greely to re consider his Intention to resign, but without avail. general Greely was president of the club prior to the election of Commander Peary to that office.
