The committee derided that this
language was sufficient to rid the
country of anarchists or any others
who oppose law and order.
The committee included in the bill
no special reference to the exclusion
*>f Asiatic laborers whose cases will
be handled under the general terms
• *f the Immigration law. It is expect
ed, however, that an effort will be
made to amend tin* bill in the House

sion. however, contained no upeclal
provision fur the deportation of mili
tant suffragette* and teachers of the

Chief of Detectives Lanford Mon
day morning issued a warning to the
young girls of Atlanta to beware of
the ‘ needle men." the scientific white
slavers who dull the senses of their
victims with an injection of a power
ful narcotic through a hypodermic
needle jabbed in the arm or wrist,
and who are thought to have tied
from New York City and established
their headquarters in Atlanta.
The (thief also expressed his will
ingness to co-operate with L. J. Ba
le.', chief of the Southern division of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
whose plans for the suppression of
the gang were outlined exclusively in
ycvf.-rday * Sunday American.
“The danger to which the girls of
Atlanta are exposed from these scien
tific criminals,” said Chief Lanford,
■‘••an not bo too greatly emphasised.
The method or the needle men is sure
and swift, and since they leave prac
tically no clews save possible descrip
tions bv people who pay no particu
lar attention to them, the difficulty
of apprehending them is great.
Urges Girls To Be Careful.
"Since the unearthing of the gang
in New York we have heard vague
rumors that many of the white
slavers have left the Eastern metrop
olis and come to Atlanta. These ru
mors have been carefully investi
gated and while l can not yet make
public the information we have ob-
mIned. I regard the situation in At
lanta now as being of sufficient grav
ity to make a warning necessary,
especially to girls who go alone to
the theaters and on the streets.
"Too much care can not be exer
cised by girls. They should be on
their guard constantly and should
not enter into cynversa!Ion with
strangers, whether men or women*
and if they are seized with a sudden
illness should be careful that they are
not assisted by persons unknown to
them. In the theaters the girls should
keep a watchful eye on the persons
who sit next to them, ns the darkness
of the theater affords the needle men
an ideal opportunity for hi* work.
Should Rrpor* to Police,
"Gases or sudden illness in thea
ters or on the streets should he re
ported to the police or Government
agents at once, in order that tin in
vestigation may be made. It Is possible
that Mome of the many cases of illness
reported In the cheaper playhouses
and on the streets recently have been
due to the work of the needle men,
though there have vet been no re
ports of instances where they have
succeeded in abducting a girl."
Chief l anford emphasized the ne
cessity of girl* and young women
exercising unusual care during the
holm .v rush Crowds are the nat
ural stamping ground or tie ue.v **

Detectives on Alert.
"It is very easy to jostle a girl or
woman on the street or in a crowded
* heater, jab the needle loaded with
its powerful drug into her wrist, and
D 1 11 when she fall* fainting offer as
sistance And in a crowd the white
slaver can pose as the escort of the
Tirl without much fear of detection "
It has been noticed that during the
