OR JUST A GOOD FRIENDP\
Congo Free State Atrocities Exceed in Horror All Reports
ASLEEP ON TRACKS,
Another Shroud of Mystery Flaps Around the
Breezy Young Chicagoan Who
Fought the Cops.
A new feature of mystery was add
ed Saturday nv>mlns to the oast
Mrs. Pretreta M. Johnson, the young
Chicago woman who a few days ago
■lapped two policemen at the police
station, and who has since been con
fined In the matron's ward In default
of a fine of *10.76.
The fine was paid Saturday morn
ing. and Mrs. Johnson, who Is now-
declared to be demented, was taken
away from the police station by a well
dressed young man, of pleasant ad
dress, who was supposed to be her
busband, but who later denied this re
lationship to the young woman. He
protested that he was merely acting in
the >,ipaclty of a friend.
The appearance of thia man at the
station followed the receipt of a tele
gram by Chief Jennings, supposed to
be signed by Mrs. Johnson's husband,
and which stated he was coming to
Atlanta for the young woman.
When the message was received.
Mrs. Johnson said it was from her
husband.
The supposed husband declares Mrs.
Johnson is demented, and this opin
ion Is also shared by Miss Sanderson,
the matron, who has been caring for
her.
8tranger Wouldn't Answer,
The stranger had a conference with
Recorder Broyles, and made an effort
to have the fine reduced. During the
conversation, the recorder asked him
'If he was Mrs. Johnson's husband, but
he declined to enlighten the recorder
on this point. The latter then declined
to reduce the fine, after which It was
paid.
When asked by Judge Broyles If he
was Mrs. Johnson's husband, the young
man replied:
“1 have never told anyone I was her
husband."
"Well, I would like to know for my
own Information whether you are her
busband?" Insisted the recorder.
"I prefer not to answer the question,'
was the reply. .
“Then I prefer not to reduce the
fine," rejoined the recorder and the In
terview came to an end.
* “I'm Only a Friend.”
The young man stranger was asked
by a Georgian reporter If he was “Mr.
Johnson" and he responded In the neg
ative.
“I am only a friend looking after
poor, demented woman,” he said.
Miss BsnderSon was left under the
Impression the stranger was Mrs. John
son's husband. 8he said the young
woman seemed very glad to see him,
and threw her arms about his neck.
The telegram, supposed to have been
sent here by the husband, was wired
from Augusta, and hire. Johnson has
been taken back to that city.
The telegram was signed "J. H.
Johnson" and was as follows:
, "Protect and care for Mrs. Petreta
61. Johnson. Will cofne for her tomor

“YOU ARE VERY WRONG,”
8AY8 MR. WAD8WORTH
By Prints Lcsacd Wire.
Washington, June 16.—In reply to
President Roosevelt's Isttsr, * In which
declared that almost every change
the house amendment to tha meat
Inspection bill was for tha worse.
Chairman Wadaowrth. of tha commit
tee on agriculture, has given out
copy of a reply ha has made to the
president.
In hla letter Mr. Wadeworth says:
•You are wrong, very, very wrong.
In your estimate of the committee's
bill, it Is aa perfect a place of legis
lation to carry into effect your own
views on this question as was ever
ire pared by a committee of congress,
every member of ths commutes Is ab
solutely honest and sincere as yourself
In his desire to secure the passage of a
rigid meat inspection bill. They know
the meaning of the English language.
"To show you how unreliable ths In
formation la upon which you base your
opinion of the bill, I call your attention
ths following language In your Itt-
: There la no provision for mak
ing the plants accessible at all hours
the Inspectors.’ <
■If you will turn to page 4 of this
bill (copy Inclosed), line 21, you will
find the following words: ‘And for tbe
purpose of such examination said In
spectors shall have access at all times
— every part of said establishment.'
‘Can English language be made any
plainer? „ „
"Turn also to page 6, line 16, and
you will find this language: The sec
retary of agriculture shall cause an
examination and Inspection of all cat
tle, sheep, swine and goats and ths food
products thereof, slaughtered and pre
pared In the establishments herein be
fore described, for the purposes of In
terstate or foreign commerce. In be
made during the night time aa well aa
during tha day time, when the slaugh
tering of said cattle, sheep, swine and
goats, or tbe preparation of said food
products Is conducted during the night
time.'
"Therefore, In at least one or two
criticisms of tha bill you must admit
that you are abeolutely wrong."
