to be fact that their married life

George Hoyos, retired officer OF the
Austrian army. Count Hoyos is the
son-in-law and partner Of Whitehead,
the inventor of the torpedo which

is the sole heir to the wealth of her
father and her daughter has a fortune
/ in her own right. She was married to
Count Herbert Bismarck in 1892. One

10 hungry for commissions. Az often
~ one OF his white slaves changes her
situation the agent gets a fee from
her. The commissioners report that
those Mattresses who bring in most
to their employers are worst OF fiaan-
cially. These are the national cos
tune" Mattresses kept in many sa-
looms. The costumes are expensive
affairs, and the girls never get through
paying for them, as they buy them
from the agents on time, as they do
everything they need. The commits
sioners hope that this installment
business may AFFORD chances for prose-
cution, as it is identical with the truck
system, punishable by law. 1t was
also found that the agents act A.
pawnbrokers for the mattresses, and.
in short, exhaust every possible trick
to keep them in financial dependency.
Their poor victims move from one
town to another, going from bad to
worse, for long hours and incessant
drinking soon tell on women, and
they lose their good looks and sink
from the big estate of gold case"
to mere fat case" or bad case"
The commissioners say ''the wait
resses are not allowed to go out I'M
attended for fear that they might run
away. For the same reason they never
have an hour to themselves, and spend
their lives working for the boss or
resting from exhausting duties. Slav-
cry could not impose more oppressive
obligations and less freedom OF ac-
ton" But the resemblance does not
end there. II waitress has the good
luck to have marriage offered to her.
her intended husband must buy her
from the brutes that contracted for
her services. In some cases as much
as 5000 marks have been paid for the
release of such white slave.
