[ Atlanta Police Make Arrests After r Hearing Would-be Actress's Story. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25.?Disclosures by Miss Genevieve Goodwin, 19 ^rj&years old, of Cincinnati, O., of an alBfcleged attempt to use her as a "white g|lave," resulted in the arrest here rfete last night of Mrs. Emma Pauline Hudson, manager, and Robert Grier, stage director, of the Metropolitan Musical Comedy Company, on Federal warrants charging violation of the Mann Act. Mrs. Hudson and Grier will be arraigned before United States Commissioner Fuller next jI Tuesday. & Miss Goodwin's story was related to Federal officials and the chief of BB the local police department. According to her statement she was until B| recently a trained nurse in the City BB1, Hospital at Cleveland. Desiring to ra?| go on the stage, she listed an appliBEjjf cation with a Cincinnati Employment Hg| Agency. Last week, through the H, agency, she was directed to the RB Metropolitan Company, being organ (ized in this city, with an offer of a position at $10 a week and her transportation. Upon her arrival she alleges that Mrs. Hudson informed her that she would have to "pass as the wife" of one of two "odd" men in the company. The two "odd" men, according to her statement, were to be brought before her and she was to take her choice. Angered at the alleged command, Miss Goodwin asked for her return fare to Cincinnati. She states that this was refused and she notified the local police. Investigation was made by local detectives and the entire troupe, leading actors, chorus girls, musicians and soubrettes, were brought to the police station. j Mrs. Hudson and Robert Grier first were held on a charge of disorderly conduct, but later taken in custody on Federal warrants. The remainder of the troupe was released. *rr*i r> o nrftttv 'hril T1 1UJLOD vrwun iu, u w* vwj ~, J XT W says that she is the daughter of a prominent Kentucky broker, but reffl? fuses to disclose his name. rar Prison Term Given "White Slaver."

Since his arrest at Albany, Fraser has been held in jail here in deL fault of $5,000 bond. The girl has | been detained at the Door of Hope Hfc mission in Macon. SSp Other important cases which will [IS? come to the attention of the Federal B?| grand jury this week are those of A D/Nnrirlc Iuiarence nuuues auu >?an.^i x uuuuo, two Burke county farmers, charged with violation of the Federal "white slave" law. It is alleged that Rhodes and Pounds and the former's brotli er, Walter Rhodes, took three Bath. S.

Atlanta, Nov. 21.?Detectives who forced their way into a house at 130 Julian street yesterday afternoon were astonished to find seated before the fireplace a pretty, curly-haired girl of apparently only seven or eight years of age. in short dresses, calmly puffing away at a cigarette, which she inhaled with the nonchalance of a veteran, puffing the smoke out through her nose. The child's I eath I smelt of liquor as well as cigarette smoke. Her name is Louise Johns, and she is in reality only eight years of age. In the same room with the girl, the detectives found her mother, whom they had come to arrest. She was wanted on an old charge, but will probably experience more difficulty still in explaining to the court why she permitted her little daughter to smoke INTERVIEWED IN CHARLESTON, em to F Senator Tillman Discusses National s< Affairs and New Administration. heai outt Genuine optimism and an utter ab- reaj sence of braggadocio or undue con- pan fidence characterized the utterances soiv of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman ging last night in an interview with a re- anc porter of the News and Courier, re- ar.d garding the future of the country un- beer der Democratic administration of governmental affairs and of South jr Carolina's share in the good things men accruing therefrom. Senator Till- gon man, while in the city, is the guest of Mr. Henry P. Williams, No. 31 East Battery. Last night he attend- j ed the banquet at the Charleston ^ j Hotel in honor of Admiral Osterhaus . mg and yesterday afternoon paid a form- ,t1 al call upon Admiral Osterhaus ' new: aboard the battleship Utah. On his _ . . mat) visit to Charleston he is accompanied ga.^ by Mrs. Tillman, to whom he affectionately refers as the senior member of the Tillman firm. , .. time A number of Charleston's promicong nent citizens called at Mr. Williams's son yesterday afternoon ana evening 10 pay their respects to Senator Tillman. It is expected that the senator will '^j0 spend several days here, not alone <4j for the festivities that are now hold- ? Sout ing sway, but for a rest from his al... . poui most overwhelming correspondence. It may be added that Senator Till- . undi man has certain and fixed rules now- .. said adavs regarding his participation in gala events, banquets and the like. As he stated to former Gov. Heyward pres last night: "I never stay later than . 10 o'clock; that is my bed time; and I am going to leave the banquet at that time to-night." ern Has Choice of Three Committees. hon( "I am not bragging about what T niak am going to do," said Senator Till- ern man. "I have the, choice of the f0r i chairmanship of one of three commit- 0f h oonatfl thrpo imnnrt.ant nr?m LOCO V/I WUV OV/UM.v\?< V*** v/v * ?? r - - UVUJ ones, the appropriations, the naval to i affairs and the Inter-State commerce js e committees." men Asked which he would accept, the g00c senator declared that he would wait r until he reached Washington upon estii the convening of congress when he genJ could thoroughly look into the mat- ed ^ ter and decide which committee a th would be the best vehicle with which ture to serve the country and South Caro- ha(i lina in particular, and the duties of ^en( which his physical strength could mor, best meet. "But as you see it now, senator, to which committee are you most inclined?" was asked. as^f "I do not want to burden myself," . ** . was the reply; "I do not want to un- m c dertake what I cannot do justice to, S00D C0DC and for some reasons I am inclined to ernr the naval affairs committee, but the appropriations committee carries ernr with it so much more of influence . ' ati-si and prestige that just now I am rather inclined to it. But, of course, re- S10n member, that I retain membership garc on all three of the committees no lsm' matter which I am chairman of. If, app< after I investigate the situation, I believe that I can do the work, I will iiim' serv take the appropriations committee; otherwise, I will take the naval af- oae fairs committee." ' \ at the "In case you choose the naval afbe i fairs committee, what will be your attitude toward the Charleston navy 111 C fa. 2.1 yard?" was asked of the speaker. ?fa Wants to Help Charleston. thin "Just what it always has been," jje , was the prompt reply. "I will ask all pub] that is decent and reasonable; I his have never been hoggish about any- adm thing, and I think that is the reason I usually got what I asked for and sometimes a little more. You know the that I have always wanted the Char- g0n< leston yard to have its pro rata share that of ail the appropriations that are made, and for it to be developed in I ... line with all the progress that is g made, but remember, all I will ask, ^e(jj will be within the bounds of decency CQUI and reason." ^ Senator Tillman seemed particu- venj larlv desirous that the erroneous' im- ^ pression created yesterday that he A would assure the future of ?he Char- Q leston yard be corrected. He wished geoJ to be relieved of the impression that . Pa. IIJ he was assuming an air of bragging foit1 or overconfidence. And at the same ^eei time he assured the reporter that he would represent South Carolina's interests and Charleston's as he had ^at always done, that if the policy of the USU< Wilson administration was to strengthen the navy and to enlarge ^ the navy yard equipments, he would ^ most assuredly ask for all that could i6St be decently asked for in behalf of the Charleston yard. jn t "As to the development of the V0U| Charleston yard." said Senator Till- ^.ear man, "and for its enlargement, that jntr all depends upon the attitude of the C-Pee ! new secretary of the navy and the ^gg general policy adopted by the Wilson ^an) administration. Meyer, you know, py was rather inimical toward this yard. p^Q 1 have combatted that attitude and I think successfully. If the Wilson ad- ^g^ ministration favors a policy of devel- lpst( oping the navy yard and the naval equipment I will want the Charleston R yard to be developed in proportion to h to all others, as it is the only South- 000 yard left, and as it is the nearest 'anama." snator Tillman appeared to join *tily in the reporter's patriotic >urst that Charleston was in all ity "the most convenient port to ama." Again asking to be abed form any assumption of brag; airs, the senator made assur> of his friendship to this city this port?"just as I have always L." Wilson's Silence Wise. l regard to the cabinet appoint- 1 ts to be made by Woodrow Wilwho will soon assume the reins he national government, Senator nan thinks that the presidentt has been eminently wise in reling from any statements pertainthereto. i Wilson is wise in not making the spapers his spokesmen in the ter of cabinet appointments," he. "He would be running 'way id of his hounds in shooting off mouth prematurely. All the s now between the convening of press until his inauguration Wilwill have opportunity to confer i the leading Democrats of the itry and to make judicious selecs." How about the appointment of ;hern men?" was a question prolded. Wilson ought not to appoint an je number of Southern men," the senator, "but the South has i i out in the cold so long. I hope return of a Southern man to the idency after sixty years will be alized by a return to the antelm policy inaugurated by the tocrats coming, and unless Southmen have lost that characteristic or and honesty Wilson cannot e a mistake if he picks .Southmen for any office in his gift, the South has as under Jefferson laving a government run as ecoically as possible, but not so as mpair its efficiency. The South ntitled to its share of appointts and other good things good 1 men as there are in the nation." epiying as to a question of his nate of President-elect Wilson, itor Tillman said that he regarding as a man of judicial mind and oughtful n\an; that as to the fu, with Wilson as president, he a great deal of hope and confi;e, although possibly a little e of the former. . f As to State Politics. What about State politics," was >d. uick as a flash came back the sigant reply: "The least said the ier mended; what we need is dey and conservatism in State govnent as well as in national govaent.". h4 mention of the word conservn led to inquiries and discusas to what Senator Tillman reled as conservatism and radicalwith the result that it became irent that the senior senator i South Carolina now regards self as one of the country's conators, or in other words, he is of the cogs in the Scotch wheels keep the country from going to devil. But from that it must not mderstood that Senator Tillman ks he has undergone any radical lges in nature or public attitude tr from it. Senator Tillman ks that he is the same to-day as ivas?possibly not in manner or lie bearing?in the early days of senatorial career. He does it the mellowing and softening lence of age, but he denies absoly the charge made by some of newspapers that he has under 2 a complete metamorphosis and he is now even a reactionary. Still a Radical. [ am just as radical now as I was," said Senator Tillman dogy, "I have not changed; it is the ltry that has changed. Some of very things I preached twenty # s ago to-day are commonly aced policies." personal glimpse that cannot be looked was the tribute paid by ltor Tillman to his wife, the cornion of his strenuous life and the iful helpmeet who has always 1 at his side in all the affairs of he interviewer ventured the hope . Mrs. Tillman was enjyoing her il good health, whereupon a glad, :ht smile illumined the rugged of South Carolina's senior senaand a peaceful calm seemed to on all his features. Yes," he said, "she is right here he next room." And with almost :hful eagerness the man of many 's of battle and strife led the way, oducing Mrs. Tillman, whose ?rtui countenance explained in a sure the strength of her husi's endurance.
