WHITE SLAVE TRADE
CONDUCTED IN CITY
HONORED BY FIFTH
DISTRICT MASONS
Startling Disclosures Fol
low Investigation by
Police.
That the "white slave" traffic Is be
ing carried on In Atlanta and that a
systematic effort Is being made to
catch unsuspecting and unsophisti
cated girls, Is the strong belief on which
the police are making a rigid Investi
gation and which may result In start
ling disclosures.
The latest Instance, tending to dis
close the existence of * the "white
•lave'’ traffic here, and which has set
the police machinery actively at
work Is the case of a 16-year-old
country girl. Oma Harrison, who was
rescued In the nick of time Wednes
day She was placed In the Home for
the Friendless Thursday morning by
Recorder Pro Tem. Preston on re-
ouest of Probation Officer Qloer.
Oma Harrison Saved.
This girl, an orphan, arrived In At
lanta Wednesday morning from Lafay
ette Ga. and from the story she re
lated to Probation Officer Oloer and
Mrs Bohnfleld, police matron, it Is
iirmlv believed she has been singled
out as a victim and that sh* would
have been enmeshed in the web of
destruction had It not' been for time
ly interference. Of late, several sim
ilar cases have been brought to the
attention of Police Officer Oloer and
Mrs. Bohnfleld, all of which leads to the
belief that systematic operations are
being conducted In Atlanta for the ruin
of young girls, especially those who
lami In the city friendless and unac
companied. ...
probation Officer Gloer has started
a rigorous Investigation of the Oma
Harrison case, in connection with the
other similar Incidents, and should
evidence be obtained the guilty persons
will be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law.
The Harrison girl, an orphan, who
has been living with an aunt In La
fayette, came to Atlanta Wednesday
morning In senrch of work. She had
no money and no friends here, and
when she alighted from the train In
the Terminal station was In a quan
dary. She was tired out and. not
knowing just what to do. walked Into
the waiting room and sat down.
Gsve Her a Note.
She hod been there but a few mo
ments when a stylishly attired woman,
who had noticed her disconsolate ap
pearance. approached her and engaged
her In conversation. Continually smil
ing and conversing In a most pleasant
manner, this woman soon won the con
fidence of the unsophisticated country
girl and began to question her as to her
plans. Finding that the girl came here
to seek work, the woman offered to aid
her. Writing a note on a silo of paper,
she handed It to the girl, with the re
mark:
"You g6 to this address and the peo-
pie there will give yoti a home and
treat you fine. You'll hnve npthing to
do and they'll take good care of you. I
would go with you myself, but I've got
to go away on a noon train."
The girl thanked the mysterious
woman for her Interest and at once
started out to And the place, the
stranger bidding her a smiling adieu.
A stranger In the city, the girl was
unable to And the place, and, stopping a
man In the street, asked him to tell her
what direction to take. And It was
this that saved her. She handed the
note to (he man to read the address. He
read the note and was astounded. The
address was that of a certain dive. He
Informed the girl ho would show her
the place and the two started off to
gether. But Instead of going to this
dive, this man, whose name has not
been learned, escorted the girl to the :
police station. There she told the story .
of ihe mysterious woman and the note.
She nppenred startled when Informed)
of the narrow escape she had. fjf
Probation Officer Gloer. In speaking,
of the case Thursday morning, said:
' Other cases of a similar character of i
where attempts have been made and,
where girls have actually been lured
Into dens of vice hnve been found In;
Atlanta of late. Girls who have been |
rescued from these dens have toldj
stories like the Harrison girl, of having
been directed there by some stronger,
sometimes a mnn and sometimes a
woman, and every effort Is being made
to run down these guilty people. We
have not yet been able to get hold of
definite evidence, but If these people
are ever landed they will be vigorously
prosecuted. This Infamous practice
must be broken up If possible."
From the Information already ob
tained It Is believed the people carry
ing on this "white slave" traffic “shad
ow" the two passenger depots and
spread their net for girls who come Into
the city unaccompanied, who are
strangers here, and have no one to look
after them. A close watch will be kept
for any such "agents" and they will be
nabbed as soon as detected.

New York. Aug. 12.—Wireless teleg-
raDhy today had Its first great Inning
In Wall-st, From the giant Cunardcr
Lusitania, plowing her way here, came
a flood of market orders from a group
of American m'ultl-mlltlonalres,' which
was a big factor in the course of the
day's prices. Most of the returning
millionaires , first took the selling side.
When the great ship entered the
wireless gone and the eccentric waves
apprised the millionaires on board of
the great rise In securities since they
got out of • communication with the
world, they saw and seized their oppor
tunity to recover the- cost of their
princely vacation trips and to add a few
comfortable fortunes to their bank bal
ances os well.
Union Pacific played Fortuna for
most of them. It had crossed "jible
par by seven polhts since they h d last
dealt In It and their heavy holdings
represented an aggregation of paper
profits which their enthusiastic ad
miration as "Insiders" for the old street
adage that. "You .will never go broke
taking profits.” led them to crystallise
Into cash balances as fast as electricity
could transmit the orders.
Steels and the Hurrlman Issues also
beamed beneficently on them and they
accumulated the profits wherever they
appeared. Later when they had gar
nered the richest of the plums they
took advantage of the fractional reces
sions their offerings had helped bring
about to take on a tew blocks of the
most promising looking Issues and
throughout the day traded as com
fortably and almost as promptly as tho
their operations had been carried on
from their own luxurious offices.

LarcenyCase Grows
Interesting.
New York, Aug. 12.—Detectives
working on the cose of the larceny
of 1110 000 worth of Heinze copper
stock from • the Carnegie Trust Com
pany. found a clew today which led
to tho belief that the man higher up
In the mysterious affair Is a Pittsburg
millionaire.
It Is discovered that Donald L.
Persch, the mail arrested on the charge
of having sold some of tho Heinze
stock after It had been pledged with
the Windsor Trust as collateral for a
loan of $50,000 to M. M. Jouce, was
formerly well known In Pittsburg
financial circles and society. It Is said
that he was an usher at the wedding
of Miss Alice Thaw to the Earl of
Yarmouth.
Thru his social connections In Pitts
burg, the detectives have learned, they
say, that he became a trusted -friend
of several Pittsburg millionaires. One
of these big men Is believed to be the
man behind Persch. Since quitting
Pittsburg Persch has kept up his re
lations with his powerful friends there.

It began with nail kegs, the At
lanta Firemen's Drum and Bugle Corps.
There wasn’t any fife and bugle at
tachment then. There wasn't any
drums even. It might have been
called the Atlanta Firemen's Keg
Corps In those days.
You see. they are talking a lot about
the famous drum corps since It dis
banded Monday. Atlantans seem Just
now to be finding out how much they
thought of It, and how much It has
done for the town.
Yet very few. even of the oldest
Inhabitants, recall exactly how It be-
gan. tho that was only about fifteen
yearn ago,
Back in 1895.
That wan In 1895. the year of the
big exposition in .Atlanta.
Charleston had visited the fair al-
most en masse or In blocks, or how
ever the French put It. Charleston
brought, among other things, a drunt

that It was SOME drum «WP*-
The Charleston drum'corps made a
hit. It was a fireman's organization.
Atlanta had a fire department. Cap
Joyner was chief.
And there you are.
George B. Parker, drummenfor the
famous old Fifth regiment band, and
the best horaeahoer In Dixie (vide Cap
Joyner), said he would drill the ama
teur drummers.
, Cap Joyner said,

Parker satd, "Saw! Get ’em nail
kegs." He explained that the would-
be drummers would simply pound holes
In drum heads before getting tbe hang
of It.
So nail kegs It was—new ones, with
Just eneugh nails in them to hold them
together.
Secret Meetings.
The fire laddies met thrice a week
In much secrecy In a basement. They
didn't tell anybody what they were
doing. All thru the fall and winter
they kept It up. till Instructor Parker
prescribed drums. Then it was harder
to keep the thing a secret—It was
so much fun!

If you don't believe It's fun get hold
of a couple of pencils, or a knife and

But they held In till Memorial day,
acquiring some showy uniforms In the
meantime.
The trick wss sprung in the Deco

had nothing but drums, then—rolling
snares and thundering basses—but It
fairly took the breath of people who
watched and heard It.
It tins -been taking people's breath
ever since, In Atlanta and all over the
country.

In the nature of an apology for so do

This was one of several sensational
statements made before the railroad
commission Thursday by Albert How
ell, attorney Car E. P. Ansiey In the
proposed action to force the local car
company ta build a line thru Ansley
Park.
The sensation came at the end of'a
hearing relative to service on certain
local lines. President Arkwright had
been on the stand all the morning ex
plaining the reports made by the In
spectors of the company for August
5, 6. 9, 10 relative to the number of pas
sengers handled on five of the leading
lines.
At tho conclusion of this Chairman
Hlllyer asked If the Ansley matter was
ready for presentation. Mr. Howell
arose and after stating that he repre
sented Mr. Ansley as attorney, mode
his sensational remarks.
Report Is Vsluelets.
He charged that the report made by
the Inspectors on the number ot pas
sengers hauled was valueless, as It was
made by employees of the company. He
also charged that the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company, came up Inso
lently and refused to do anything to
help the public In an effort to create
dividends, and that Instead of six per
cent It mode ten times six per cent.
Attorney Rosser replied to Mr. How
ell, and said he hod never beforo lis
tened to such a tirade of abuie. He de
clared that the entire animus- of Mr.
Howell’s attack was based on the
that ho represented Mr. Ansley, who
wanted to force tho company to build a
lino to Improve Ills property.
Mr. Howell had stated/that a repre
sentative of Mr. Ansley had been sent
to the offices of tho street car company
to get certain evidence, which had been
llatiy refused. President Arkwright
arose and said that such a representa
tive had come to him. but that he had
declined to furnish any information,
but that he stood ready to give the
-commission anything It desired.
A Sharp Tilt
"Will you state whether'or not you
propose to give the people out In tha
Ansley Park section any better car
service?” asked Mr. Howell.
"I positively refuse to give Mr. How
ell any Information of any character,"
replied PreMdent Arkwright. "Since he
has here Impunged the -honesty of our
employees.”
Upon the statement of Mr. Howell
that he would be away In Canada a
couple, of weeks and that on his return
a formal petition would be presented to
the commission asking for the Ansley
Park extension, the matter went over.

It Is not thought likely that the Sem-

That the interurban trolley line be
tween Atlanta and Macon will be built
Immediately as the result of a bill
passed by both houses of the legisla
ture during the final hours, Is the an
nouncement made by President W.
Jordan Massee, of the company.
This bill mudo It possible for ono

tral Georgia Power Company, which Is
building the big dam across the Oe-
mulgeo river. In addition to being pres
ident of tho Macon Railway and Light

velopments to have tho power com
pany and the Macon Trolley Company

He Staggers Backward
and Falls Onto Cot
When News Comes.
White Plains, N. Y„ Aug. 12^Harry
K. Thaw was today adjudged Insane
by Justice Mills In a decision handed
down In the supreme court, and or
dered to be sent back to the Mattea-
wan state asylum for the criminal In
sane Immediately.
The orderof Justice Mills was turned
over to the Westchester county au
thorities by the clerk of court, and
Thaw himself, In Jail at White Plains,
was Informed of tho decision. Ar
rangements were made to "take him
back to Matteawan tomorrow. Justice
Mills, In his decision, finds that Thaw
Is now Insane and unable to properly
care for himself. The decision con
tained 3,000 words, and thoroughly cov
ered the Insanity hearing that had
been held before Justice Milts.
Thaw awaited the decision In his
cell in the Jail at White Plains. He
was plainly nervous, and paced up and
down, almost unnerved. Arrangements
had been made to let him know the
decision as soon as it was made pub
lic by the clerk of court. When he
leamod his fate, Thaw stopped his
nervous walk up and down the cell nnd
stood stock still. He (lid not seem to
comprehend what lmd been told him.
Then, when he realized that he must
go back to Matteawan. ho staggered
backward nnd fell upon-tho cell cot.
He covered his fnco with his hands,
and for a time could not bo aroused.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, the prisoner's
mother, and his sister, the former
Countess of Yarmouth, wero almost
overcome at tho nows. Alice Thaw
tried to comfort her mother, but the
aged woman who.hns battled so long
and so untiringly for her son showed
plainly that the decision was n terrible
blow to her.
Some Other Institution.
Immediately after the decision of Jus
tice Mills hnd been filed with the county
clerk he Informed counsel for Thaw
that at his chambers In Mount yernon
tomorrow (Friday > ho would listen to
argument on the part of the Thaw law*-
yers ns to why the patient should be
committed to some other stnte Institu
tion other than Matteawan. Lawyer
Morschauser at onco Informed the court
that he would appear bofore him to
morrow and argue the matter, stating
that oltho Justice Mills’ decision or
dered Thaw back to Matteawan. ho be
lieved that he should be confined to
some other Institution than tho ono In
which vo has been confined for the
post year.
Decision Was 8trong One,
Justice Mills’ decision was the
strongest against Thaw that has been
handed down by any Judge elnce the
two trials of the prisoner. His decision
can be summed up as follows:
That tho Insanity that Harry K.
Thaw was afflicted with In June, 1900.
the date of the shooting of Stanford
White, was chronic delusive Insanity,
generally known as paranoia; that
Harry K. Thaw has not yet recovered,
and that In paranoia recovery Is very
doubtful.
Danger to Public Safety,
That the enlargement of Harry K.
Thaw now would be a danger to public
peace and safety.
"Therefore." he said. "I dismiss the
writ of habeas corpus and remand Har
ry K. Thaw to the custody of the de
fendant by whom be was produced"
(Dr. Baker, of the Matteawan asylum).
In his decision Justice Mills said
that he based bis belief tbat Thaw had

In this letter the mother said that she
feared her son's mind might be af

"Perhaps It Is not all badness," she
wrote, “but an affectVon of the brain."
Thaw Believed Evelyn's Story.
The court laid stress on the fact that
Thaw believed the story of White’s ac
tions told to him by Evelyn Nesblt. In
regard to this. Justice Mills said:
“In 1901 Harry Thaw met Evelyn

subsequently married her. She was the

rocks at tho soldiers In return.
Some of the troopery aimed too low

Tho state troops were repulsed sev

succeeded In dispersing the strikers for

were wounded by bullets and other
