New Yorker and His Eigliteen-
Year-Old "Soul Mate” Are
Arrested in Atlanta.
“I'd gladly spend the rest of my life
in the penitentiary rather than go hack
to my husband. You can send me Io
the stockade, or do whatever you please
with me. but live with him again
never."
Mrs. Ruth Webb Winn, eighteen
yeark "Id, of Teague, Texas. stamped a
slippered foot on the floor of the ma
tron's ward in the police station and
made that assertion today when Police
Chief Reavers asked hey if she wanted
to return to her husband, with whom
she admits she lived but two weeks.
T-he girl says she married J. A. Winn,
a clerk in a railroad office, last Sep
tember. believing she loveij him. but
that immediately after the ceremony
her love turned to hate. Two weeks of
mat Tied life, she said, put a seven
crimp.in her romantic ideals, and she
found that her dream of matrimonial
bliss was hbth'itig more than a rose
tinted delusion.
Some time later, she says, she met
her soul mate, a young New Yorker,
who gives his name as Rene Coward.
I and life became rosy again. It was
through a flirtation in a motion pic
ture. show in San Antoni". Texas, the
girl says, that she discovered that her
heart really throbbed for Coward. Since
that lime they have been together
Even behind prison liars they are close
to each "the-. Coward occupying n cell
on the floor directlv beneath the ma
tron's ward.
The pair came Imre from Texas six
weeks ago and had been living nt 65
Houston street. Sugtplciois circum
stances connected .with the couple were
reported to the detective department,
and Chief lainford oidered an investi
gation Peteetives t’hew nine and Nor
ris lasi night took the girl and her sou
mate into custody and locked both in
the police station. The girl appeared
I perfectly contented in prison today, ex
plaining that she didn't want I" be free
"as long as Rene was locked up."
The girl gave her father's natpe as
A. A. Webb, a newspaper nubiislie: of
Teague, and a telegram has been sent
there asking for information as to bis
daughter. No reply has been receiven.
"I'm happy totin'. even if 1 am i

PROBERS UNABLE
TO ‘SOLVE’ ISffit
LONDON June 14. —Lord Mersey , in
! giving his instructions for the summing
| up of the evidence in the Titanic probe,
j declined to express an opinion on the
j conduct of J Bruce Ismay, managing
director of the International Mercan
tile Marine, saying that different con
sideration- might arise regarding his
I actions,
I "I do no; intend to-comment on Is
| may's conduct in leaving the .ship." he
I said. "It is top difficult to determine
I whether he took the right course. t
shall not try."
I He said that, as regarded the. conduct
of Sir Cosmo and Lady G. C. Gordon,
who were alleged to have bribed the
seamen manning the lifeboat to row
away from the victims struggling In the
I water, he thought it undesirable to ex
press an opinion upon the conduct of
individual passengers.
Sir Rufus, who is appearing in his o *-
rial capacity as attorney general to rep
resent the government, insisted that the
case of the steamship Californian, which
saw distress rockets of the Titanic but
did not go to her aid. be taken up with
a view to official action. Lord Mersey
in replying said that he had supposed that
he had no jurisdiction to advise whether
or not the certificate of the captain of the
Californian should be revoked.

the worst case.

Men and Religion Bulletin
“THE HOUSES IN OUR MIDST”
Ere she can walk alone, the girl clasps her doll. As childhood slips
away, she lays aside the toy and, with beating heart, innocently craving
companions, seeks to be attractive. By her nature, God is calling her to
the glory of motherhood.
But a girl betrayed is of commercial value in the houses in our
midst; and men set traps for her feet.
Drawn and impelled by forces she does not understand, lured by lies
or driven by want, she falls into the hands of her hunters. Her heart is
broken, the instinct for motherhood destroyed; but in our markets there
is a fallen woman, the girl, to be sold and resold until death, more merci
ful than men, gives sleep.
The dead and unfit must be replaced with frightful frequency since
five to seven years is the average of life in the houses; while the traffic
lasts, an inexorable law of supply and demand applies. In the United
States sixty thousand girls and more are required annually to meet the
needs of “the white slave trade.”
Whence do they come? Whose girls are they? Whose daughters
will be in the next quota?
The hunters are ever in the field and wil] be while the houses buy
and sell.
Jesus said: “All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men
should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them.” You would not have
men give to these beasts in human form the right to enter your home;
you would not have these houses wait to receive and sell those whom you
love; you can not a.pprove these unspeakable things for the daughters of
other men.
Yet forty-four houses are in our midst. Toleration of them author
izes the procurers to seek their prey. Their stock in trade is the fallen
woman; for one to fall a girl must be deceived; a license to the open mar
ket is a permit to the hunter to pursue and obtain the victims for sale
therein.
The Golden Rule requires action.
Were you to see these harpies aflame with the hope of gain hovering
over your home and children, you would not prate of “necessary evils;”
nor would you rest content with praying, “Thy will be done;” you would
fight to destroy—to uproot the root of the evil, the houses in our midst.
You should not stand idle and silent while the hunters seek and the
houses wait for your neighbors’ daughters.
The shame of these houses depending for their merchandise upon
the seduction of girls cries out to God against us.
None would hurt, the pitiful inmates. Help in the name of Jesus
Christ is offered those who will leave the life! But in His Name let us put
an end to the shameful commerce!
La ws of the State of Georgia and Ordinances of the City of Atlanta,
forbid the existence of these houses in our midst. The location of each
one of them, t.he daily and nightly violation of law and ordinance is
known to the police force and the police board, whose members are sworn
to enforce the law.
The return in gold and good to our City from the wrecked lives of
those betrayed must be great to have induced her citizens to approve so
long this open disregard of the law of God and of man. It should not con
tinue.
“It is time for you to awake out of sleep.”
Later will be shown the price paid and to be paid by innocent women
and children for the existence of the houses in our midst.
