WHITE
SLAVE TRAFFIC.
Real Case Has Been Unearthed by
Atlanta Police
Atlanta, March 30.?One of the
few real cases of "white slave traffic"
on record in the ?outh seems about
to be unearthed in Atlanta?not one
of those miscalled "white slave"
cases, which is simply old, commonI
place vice under a new name, but a
real affair in which two grown women
enticed a 14-year-old girl into a
house and held her there for immoral
I-- purposes by threats of violence and
by intimidation, hiding her in an unl
dergtound cell entered through a
trapdoor when the police came to investigate.
6uch, at any rate, are the charges
brought against Willie Stamper and
Lovine Bryant, two notorious white
women of this city.
Several days ago G. P. Lewis, an
eminently respectable and quite well
known employe of the Georgia Railroad
Terminal Company, applied to
the police station^ frantic over the
disappearance of his 14-year-old
daughter, Nellie. She had left the
[house one afternoon for a walk and
hadn't been seen or heard of since,
though three days had elapsed. Mr.
Lewis feared foul play. His daugh|
ter was a good girl, he said, who
had only the best associates and who
'& attended Sunday-school regularly.
Imagine the father's horror when
he learned, through the police, that
(his baby girl had spent Saturday, Saturday
night, all day Sunday and all
of Sunday night in the house of the
Stamper woman on Johnson avenue.
She was found only after repeated
investigations by the police. The first
time they visited the house, it is
stated, the girl was locked in the
bathroom. A subsequent variation
of that detail is that she was" lowered
through a trapdoor into the cellar.
The case was called yesterday afternoon
in the recorder's court, the
young girl being present. She stated
then that she had done what she did
of her own free will and accord, but
the father has since given out a statement
in which he declares the girl
j>-. > only* said what she did in court because
she had been threatened with
all sorts of horrible vengeaance by the
two women if she dared accuse them.
The little girl has been taken home
;by her parents and the two women

Discards Dispensary BJ11.
Montgomery, Ala., March 31.?Af
ter the prohibitionists had made an
unsuccessful effort 10 substitute the
Moody dispensary bill for the Smith
regulation bill, the State senate this
afternoon passed the latter measure,
and it now goes to the governor for
his approval.
1 In the house Gov. O'Neal's personal
representative, Mr. Arnold, of An|?
, > niston, offered a resolution, which

pass any liquor bill that does not allow
the people to vote on the question.
This settles the fate of a numI
, ber of bills that sought Jo put saloons
i - and dispensaires into cities without a
[ referendum. Mobile, Montgomery,
Birmingham, and several other cities
will probably hold their elections
within 60 days.
(Averts Awful Tragedy.
Timely advice given Mrs. C. Willoughby,
of Marengo, Wis., (R. No.
1) prevented a dreadful tragedy and
saved two lives. Doctors had said
her frightful cough was a "consump- j
(tion" cough ana couia ao nommg iu
help her. After many remedies failed,
her aunt urged her to take Dr.
King's New Discovery. "I have
been using it for some time," she
wrote, "and the awful cough has almost
gone. It also saved my little
boy when taken with a severe bronchial
trouble." This matchless medicine
has no equal for throat and
lung trouble. Price 50c. and $1.00.

Rumors of Peace.
El Paso, Texas, April 2.?Mexican
peace rumors revived to-nivht with
the arrival here of Francisco I. Madero,
Sr., and Alfonso Madero, father
and brother of the Mexican insurrecto
president; of Roque Estrada, a
lawyer of Mexico City, and of Rafael
Hernandez. Then came from San
t; Antonio and went at once to a hotel.
To reporters the two Maderos re\
fused to make any statements. Asked
if he had come here on a mission of
.peace, the senior Madero said:
"Perhaps so. I will tell you later."
Replying to a question as to when

the rebel leader, he said:
"I have not seen him since he left
r San Antonio three months ago or
more."
j| Gonzales Garcia, insurrecto secreg
tary of state, met the two Maderos
and accompanied them to their hotel,
where a conference began at once.
For some time Garcia has been declaring
that he did not believe in the
peace rumors.
So far as can be learned there are
no representatives here of the federal
government. The local insurrecto
junta is supposed to be in communcation
by courier with Francisco
Madero, who is with the army near
Chihuahua.
MAY BLOCK REVISION.
Regular Republicans in Senate Will
Resist Reforms.
Washington, April 2.?Despite the
fact that the Democrats of the house,
by official caucus action, have declared
a purpose to enact tariff legislation
during the extra session of congress
beginning Tuesday at noon,
the prediction was freely made in
congressional circles to-night that no
such legislation can be put through
the senate at this time and that the
extra session will adjourn earlier
than lias been generally anucipatcu.
Sentiment among the regular Republicans
in the senate is overwhelmingly
against any sort of tariff revision
at the extra session. Without the
support of the progressives the
Democrats can not possibly get any
tariff bills through the upper branch
of congress.
Sparring for Time.
It is apparent that the regular Republicans
of the senate will do everything
in their power to postpone all
matters of general legislation until
the regular session next December.
It is reported that a number of the
progressive Republicans are likely to
fall in with this idea.
President Taft, by sending a message
dealing with Canadian reciprocity
alone, will pave the way for the
programme which the senate Republicans
propose to adopt at a caucus to
be held probably on Tuesday afternoon.
May Help Stand-patters.
The prediction made by President
Taft that the tariff board will be
ready with a complete report on the
textile schedules of the tariff by December
1, next, and the hope he has
informally expressed that congress
will decide to wait for this report before
acting on these schedules, makes
the situation a little more difficult for
the Democrats in that the insurgent
vote in the senate is likely to be won
over to the president's proposition.
The Republican insurgents regard
the tariff board idea as of their own
creation. .
It is pointed out to-night that with
a report on the much discussed cotton
and woolen schedules promised
last December, the insurgent Republicans
.will not stultify themselves
by voting for house bills amending
TnifVimit nop*!) tfl tVlp
IUC36 OVUCUU1W) TT IWUUk i vw
tariff board.
Reciprocity First.
There is little doubt that consideration
of the reciprocity measure will
occupy many weeks of the senate's
time. It is argued that it would be
late in June before consideration
could be given in the senate to a
house bill dealing with even one
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich law.
With a determination of 30 or more
senators that no such legislation
should be enacted at the extra session,
it can be easily seen, according
to the Republican leaders, that attempt
to get such measures through
the oYtra spRsinn would be futile.
There is every reason to believe
that the regulars will promise the insurgents
to facilitate schedule-byschedule
revision of the tariff at the
regular session of congress if no attempt
is made to put through such
legislation at the extra session. With
such an agreement between the Republicans,
it is believed that the Democrats
might not attempt to prolong
the extra session until late in the fall.
Let Small Fish Pass.
There is said to be no disposition
on the part of the senate Republicans
to block legislation of comparatively
*? ? - ?A 4-lv/v TtO
minor unportctiice at cue? cAna erosion.
The senate Republicans will
carucus either Tuesday afternoon or
Wednesday. Senator Cullom of Illinois
will be chosen chairman of the
caucus to succeed Senator Hale.
After Senator Frye, who has declined
on account of ill health, Mr. Cullom
is the senior Republican in the senate.
Senator Gallinger, of New
Hampshire will be made chairman of
the senate committee on commerce.
It is said that the committee assignments
in the new congress will clearly
indicate the purpose of the regulars
to give increased recognition to
the progressive Republicans in the
senate.
May Go Ahead.
The Democratic house leaders tonight
indicated that they would go
ahead with their programme regardless
of the probable fate of their
measures in the senate until such a
| time as the senate clearly demonstrated
that it will give no consideration
to general legislation during the
extra session. In this way the Democrats
feel they will have done their
utmost to fulfill their pledges at the
earlifest possible moment.
Some of the senate Democrats are
strongly in favor of waiting until the
regular session convenes before the
revising of the tariff. They declare
that the Republicans already have
passed big appropriations bills for
the next fiscal year, and that revenues
must be raised to meet them.
During the regular session the tariff
can not be revised and the new appropriation
bills scaled down accordingly.

YOUNG NEGRO HANGED.
Crowd Storms Jail and Takes Out
Youth Accused of Assault.
Union Springs, Ala., April 2.?
Aberdeen Johnson, a young negro,
was lynched on the outskirts of this
place early this afternoon by a mob
which came from Goshen, Pike county,
this State.
The lynching followed the storming
of the Bullock county jail here.
The sheriff of Bullock was handcuffed
and tied in the jail, after
which the mob moved off with the
prisoner.
Johnson was charged with assaulting
a white woman who lived near
Goshen. After being strung up to a
tree, his body was riddled with bullets.
The crime was committed a
month ago. Johnson was captured
this morning about 8 o'clock near
Union Springs and placed in the Bullock
county jail.
News of the capture quickly
spread and a mob was formed early
this morning at Goshen. They took
the Central of Georgia train to Union
Springs, arriving there about 10
o'clock. The mob was slow in forming
its plans and the sheriff of Bullock
county called up the governor
at Montgomery over the long distance
telephone, asking for troops. The
governor had the riot call sounded
in Montgomery immediately, but
while the soldiers were gathering in
their armories there the mob had
stormed the jail and secured the prisoner.
# ERROR OF JUSTICE.
Man Served Twenty Years for Anther's
Crime.
"Praying Andy" Toth, a life convict
at the Western penitentiary, at
Pittsburg, Pa., who has served 20
years for a murder he did not even
see committed finally has been released
on a pardon from Gov. Tener.
Toth is 50 years old. He is bent,
weary and looks 70. In the crowd
that greeted him as he left the prison,
were his four grown sons, all
workmen in the mill from which he
was led a prisoner 20 years ago. The
workmen cheered and Toth's lawyers,
who met him at the prison office,
took him to their offices down
town in a cab, because the little old
man would not trust himself to a
trolley, car.
"I never saw the man I am supposed
to have killed," said Toth, who
wept during most of his ride from
the prison. But he seemed to feel no
resentment. As he talked he fondled
his rosary beads. "These kept me
from going insane," he said. "I
prayed every day to God and to the
Blessed Virgin that she would intercede
with her son that the truth
would some day become known."
When the Frick building was
reached Toth shied at the revolving
doors at the entrance. He then took
the first elevator ride of his life..The
attorney's office is on the eighteenth
floor. When the car ascended he
grasped the bars and held fast. He
smiled and remarked: "I feel as if
I were going to Heaven."
Tath's wife returned to her home
in Hungary years ago, broken hearted.
The sons wanted to send for her;
but the old man said* no, that .he
would return to the fatherland, too.
"First, I must go see my eight
grandchildren, that I have never
seen, and then I must see the children
of Quinn, the murdered man,
and tell them I didn't kill their father,
and then I'll go back to the old
ocuatry," said Toth.
Toth was convicted through a mistaken
identification. The real murderer
never was discovered. Toth's

10 days before he was released.
Convicted with Toth were two other
innocent men, one of whom died in
prison, and the other established his
innocence several years ago.
Wofford College Gets Large Gift.
Spartanburg, April 1.?Wofford
college to-day received a contribution
of $20,000 to its endowment
fund from Andrew Carnegie, philanthropist
and former steel magnate.
The gift cafhe in the form of a
check to Henry Nelson Snyder, presi
dent of the college, which arrived in
the morning mail.
Mr. Carnegie sent no message with
the "check. As Dr. Snyder said this
evening, he treated the matter purely
as a business transaction. Dr.
Snyder had written Mr. Carnegie,
asking him to help the college, and
the check was the answer.
This gift brings the permanent endowment
fund of Wofford college
close to $200,000. The money is invested
and the income used for the
support of the institution. The principal
is held intact.
Of the present fund $100,000 has
been raised in the last five years. Dr.
Snyder seeks to create a permanent
endowment fund of $300,000, and
hopes that other gifts will follow Mr.
Carnegie's. He is also trying to
raise funds with which to build'a
large dormitory.
