AGENT HUNTS GIRL HERE AS GANG’S VICTIM s Story of Young Woman Freed i From Thrall Being Traced by 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.” Nurse Averts Panic In Hospital While Next House Burns Miss S.

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.
