Following the publication In The
Georgian Thursday afternoon of the
story of the "white slave" traffic In At
lanta and the timely rescue of sixteen-
year-old Oma Harrison, a flood of re
quests have poured Into the Home for
the Friendless and to Probation Officer
Gloer for the girl, by people who want
to give her a home.
All of these requests are being con
sidered, but It has not yet been de
termined what disposition will be made
of the girl. U Is stated Friday that sho
Is anxious to return to the home of her
aunt In Lafayette, Ga., at which place
she was living when she came to At
lanta seeking work and so narrowly
escaped being caught In the talons of
the “white slave" traffic. Mias Mitch
ell, the matron, states that she will
bring the case of the girl to the atten
tion of the board of ladles of the home.
If the girl desires to remain In At
lanta she can have the choice of many
homes, as a large number of persons
are anxious to get her. A pathetic fea
ture of the case Is the fact thut tho girl
can neither read nor write, and for this
reason the authorities of the home
would like to place her In position to
obtain an education..
No sooner had The Georgian ap
peared In the streets with the story of
the terrible "white slave" trade than
people began to call Officer Gloer and
the Home for the Friendless over the
telephone. A number of other • persons
telephoned the home Friday and offered
to give the girl a good home.
Chief Jennings Is very much Interest
ed In the story unfolded by her and
the police will use every possible effort
to unearth the facts.
