Federal Investigator.
lews indicating that Samuel A
gtoe and his wife. Mrs. Annie Stoe,
who are now under arrest charged
with having lured Mrs. Annie Bond, a
17-year-old girl, into the meshes of
white slavery, may be the directing
heads of a gang of white slavers
whose operations extend to various
towns in Georgia. Alabama and South
t larolina, are being investigated by L.
,1. Baley, chief of the Southern Divi
sion of the Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation, following a long conference
-Jlh Mrs. Bond.
.' The Investigation Is centering in
Atlanta, where the Stoes are sup-
i osed to have brought a 16-year-otd
Athens girl and placed her in one of
’he cheap hotels that still operate
radically wide-open resorts. Al
though Mr. Baley refused to commit
mself as to his plans for the Inves
tigation, It is definitely understood
hat he contemplates a search of prac-
cally every hotel of the cheaper class
tn the city in quest of the girl, who
is said to be under the domination of
stoe and his wife, and turning all her
earnings over to them.
Made Dazzling Promises,
According to the story told Mr. Ba
ley by the Bond girl, Mrs. Stoe met
•he 15-year-old girl In Athens several
months ago and, by promises of gor
geous gowns and unlimited quanti
ses of jewelry, induced her to run
way from home and come to Atlan
ta. The woman wrote the girl a let-
er, Mrs. Bond said Mrs. Stoe told
her, telling her when to come to At
lanta and where to stop during the
t ingress of the arrangements to get
t er into one of the hotels. This let
ter Mr. Baley Is now' endeavoring to
ocate, but so far has met with no
success. Mrs. Bond says Mrs. Stoe,
during one of the periods w’hen she
became half intoxicated and bragged
of the young girls she has ruined,
told her of the case of the Athens
girl and told her also the date the
i hild was to come to Atlanta, but that
she has forgotten the details in the
txcitement that attended her own re
lease from the thraldom of white
slavery.
Eederal agents in Birmingham and
other cities probably will take up the
ase at that end, and strenuous ef
forts will be made to uncover the op
erations of the alleged gang The
Stoes have refused to make any state
ment, and have declared that the
Rond glr! took up the life she has
now deserted of her own free will.
They deny that she was lured into a
Whitehall street rooming house and
•J rugged.
Deny Existence of Gang,
They deny also the existence of any
rang, and profess to know’ nothing of
the case of the child in Athens, or the
“xlstence of any other victims.
The Bond girl, however, has told
Mr. Baley that several times Mrs.
stoe has told her of other girls who
"ere in the power of herself and her
husband, and had bragged how she
as getting rich off their earnings.
The names of these girls, however
Mrs. Bond declares she does not
know, and it is hardly likely that any
of them will be located unless by ac
cent or unless a confession is pro-
ured from Stoe or his wdfe.
“It may be that we are following a j
[ Mnd lead,” Mr. Baley said Saturday!
morning, “but the story told by Mrs j
Sond has the ring of truth, and we
Propose to make a thorough investi
gation, especially of the case of the
Athens girl.”

Sunday to Mark Religious Epoch.
Whole State Stirred—Pastors
Expect Overflow Crowds.
“It will be one of the greatest days
in the religious history of Atlanta!”
If a “composite" could be obtained
of the scores of optimistic predictions
on "Go-to-Church Day” which poured
into The Georgian office Saturday and
all day Friday, that is about the way
it would read.
One minister had sent out 6,000 ln-
vlttalons to his Go-to-Church serv
ices on Sunday. Several others had
issued 1,000 or more, and all were cer
tain that practically every church In
the city would be filled to capacity
both morning and evening.
Three weeks ago December 14 was
set as Atlanta’s "Go-to-Church Day.”
Since then all of the ministers and all
of the ministerial organizations that
have met have given it their indorse
ment.
“Fighting Strength” To Be Shown.
In consequence a spectacle will he
furnished of the entire ministry of
Atlanta joining in a groat movement
to glorify and set forth for the view
of the world the maximum "fighting
strength” of the echurches here.
"I am expecting Sunday to be a
great day :.i my church,” said 'he
Rev. A. C. Shuler, of the East Side
Tabernacle. “Every preacher in At
lanta should rally his congregation to
do Its utmost to-morrow and thus
demonstrate that we preachers know
an opportunity when it presents it
self,
"I am going to take as my subject
Sunday night ‘The Church Without
a Hobble.’ I believe the greatest need
of the church to-day is ot cut the
cord that binds the millstones of the
world about its neck, and free, to
stand forth in the strength of God
My morning sermon will be ‘A Vision
of the Future.’
Thanks The Georgian.
“I am glad that ‘Go-to-Church Day’
has been instiuted. 1 thank The
Georgian for the suggestion."
Every member of Dr. Sruler s con
gregation has avowed bis Intention
of bringing at least one non-member
or one infrequent attendant to one of
the services. Streamers advertising
the day have been ’need in the
church and special music has been
arranged.
Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, of Central Bap
tist Church, and Mr. Bell, the music
directors, declare they are going to
seat all strangers who come, whether
the regular members get seats or not.
Dr. Ridlev said Saturday that there
are 300 seats In the gallery, and if
the strangers get there «.n time he
will send the deacons and old stand
bys to occupy these seats and give
the visitors the first floor.
To Take Csre of Overflow.
Central Church seats about 1,000
people, when all the space is occu
pied, but Dr. Ridley will do his best
to accommodate everybody who
comes, and if there should be an over
flow, he will address them in the
downstairs auditorium before speak
ing upstairs.
Dr. A. R. Holderby. of the Moore
Memorial Church, will be one of the
pastors to preach in the morning from
the text suggested by Bishop C. K.
Nelson: “Pure religion and unde-
flled before our God and Father is
this: To visit the fatherless and
widows in their affliction and to keep
himself unspotted from the world."
Dr. Holderbv has arranged special
services for Sunday. Every member
of the church has been urged to at
tend both morning and evening serv
ices.
Special "Go-to-Church” services
will be conducted in the morning at
the Harris Street Presbyterian

bert East. Charges have been made
in letter to Chief Beavers from W.
P. Wallis, an attorney, of Americus,
Ga.. where the boy is said to be ?n
destitue circumstances.
Mr. Wallis writes that the boy’3
mother, a Mrs. Willis, lives 1n Jack
sonville. but because the child does
not know the first name of his step
father the atomey has been unable
to locate her.
The letter charges that the boy was
lured from Atlanta by two strangers

mother In Jacksonville. They ap
peared shortly after the boy received
a letter from his mother, in which she
stated that a man would call for him
and put on a Jacksonville train.

train and took him to Richmond,

heavy bough.
NEW YORK. Dec. 13.—A most
divided state of mind exists In the
being of Paul Helleu, the famous
Parisian portrait painter admitted
to-day. M. Helleu is in the position
of a man who has awarded thei ap
ple of Paris (the God. not the city)
to one fair woman only to turn and
try to divide it with another. The
artist baa maintained until recently
that Mrs. Leonard M. Thomas, of
New York society, is the most beau
tiful woman in the country. Now he
blandly turns and declares that Vera
Maxwell, an actress is the fairest
woman in the United States
"Rut which is the most beautiful
woman, Mrs. Thomas or Miss Max
well?” you ask the artist.
He shrugs his shoulders, just as
they do in that gay Faroe.
You ask again: "Is Mrs Thomas
the most beautiful?"
"Rut certainly," he replies.
“la Miss Maxwell the most beau
tiful?” you counter.
"Yes, yes,” he returns.
“But how- can that be?'* you ask.
“How can both be the most beauti
ful?”
“It is puzzling,” the artist returns.
“1 noted that myself. Rut it is so."
So now in the Judgment of those
who follow M. Helleu’s choice in the
matter of feminine beauty there are
two queens of beauty. Therefore, the
crown which Mrs. Thomas formerly
wore must be halved and a fragment
placed on the head of both Mrs.
Thomas and Miss Maxwell.

Three Others Bitten Who Did Not
Know the Maddened Cur
Had Hydrophobia.
Four persons Saturday were
suffering from the savage attacks
of a mad dog owned by Mr. and
Mrs. L. A. Parker, No. 121 Simp
son street. Three of the victims
will be unaware of the fact that
it was a mad dog until they read
this account.
The fourth, J. A. Arnold, a call of-
fleer at the Police Department, re
ceived treatment at Grady Hospital
after a desperate encounter with the
animal which he Anally killed with
his pistol. Arnold later In the day

ries in the State Capitol.
None of the other three persons bit
ten are known to the Parker family
or the authorities, and they are ex
tremely anxious that the victims may
learn of their danger so that treat
ment may be begun before it is too
late.
Pet of Children.
The dog was a shaggy brown mon
grel that had been made a great pet
by the four Parker children. It first
developed symptoms of rabies Friday
afternoon. A Tech High School stu
dent was passing the house when the
dog suddenly ran out of the yard
snapping and snarling and bit the
young man.
The student kicked the dog away
and walked on. In the evening Glenn
Parker, aged 15 years, and Tom
Rutherford, 12, who Is rooming at the
Parker home with his sister. Miss
Ethel Rutherford, went to Sharps
Drug Store at Marietta and Walton
streets. The dog followed them and
on the way' began to run at pedes
trians. snapping and growling at
them.
When the animal bit a man and a
boy who were walking together, young
Parker and Rutherford became
alarmed and took the dog back home
with them and locked him in the back
yard inclosure. Just as Mrs. Parker
was feeding the chickens Saturday
morning the dog leaped the barrier
and made for her.
Barricaded the House.
Terror-htricken. she rushed into rile
house and, with Mis* Rutherford, ba.
ricaded the place against the mad
dened animal and warned her four
children not to go out of doora. From
the windows they could see the dog
raring among the frightened chick
ens, chasing them about the yard and
biting them at every opportunit
Boizing one of the larger hena. th
dog shook it until 1t was dead
The police department was notified
and Call Officer Arnold hastened 10
the Parker home on his motorcycle.
He found the house closed and barred.
As he was knocking on the door the
dog. noticing the visitor, ceased his
attack on the poultry and rushed fur

Policeman s Better.
Before the policeman could protect
himself, the dog had sunk his fang
repeatedly In Arnold's leg. Arnold
finally was able to kick the dog off
so that he could get a shot at him
with his revolver. Not until he had
fired five bullets into the animal’s
body did the dog give up.
Inside the house, the women and
| the five children listened pani* -
j stricken to the fusilade of shots, and
the neighbors ran to their doors and
! windows to see what was happen
I ing.
The hospital authorities advise the
three unidentified persons who were
bitten to begin treatment at once In
order to avoid serious consequences.
