A FREEDMAN's COMMISSION.
Action Favorable to It's Appointment.
Taken Today.

By a strict party vote the republican
members Of the House committee on labor
today authorized a favorable report on Mr..
Irwin's bill for a commission to investigate
the Industrial and social conditions Of the
colored race of the United States. The
commission is to consist of five members
to be appointed by the President for three
years 1t Is to be known as the freedman's
inquiry commission Twelve Thousand dol
lars per annlm is provided for clerk hire
and office expenses, while the members Of
the commission are to receive an annual
salary Of 81, 500 each. The inquiry Is to
be governed by the same rules as the late
industrial commission.
In speaking of the bill today Chairman
Gardner of the committee on labor stated
that so far as the committee had observed
the colored people were the ones behind
the bill. Several delegations of colored
men have appeared before the committee
at various times since the bill was intro
duced to advocate its passage. Mr.. Card
ner said. that representation had been
made. that the Industrial condition of the
cefDred people. of this country Wazs cause

To Balk Eavesdroppers.

According to Observation-Disclosures eitschrift,
= simple and interesting apparatus has been
tried eXpermentally on the lines of the gov
eminent telephone exchange at Stockholm,
Sweden for the last year. It's object Is TO
indicate to the subscriber whether or not
the central station operator is listening to
the conversation. Bridged across the sub
scribers line ard connected with 1t by
double-pole switch is a current detector
whose middle point is earthed. The central
point of the operators receiver is also
earthed through the busy" test apparatus
in the ordinary manner.
When the operator switches in her listen
ing key, a current is sent over both lines in
parallel, through the subscribers indicator
and to earth. and the subscriber knows that
the operator is on the line. The indicator
itself has a pair of astatic needles, upon the
axis of which is placed a light disk with
black, white and red crosses painted on IL.
The disk moves behind a shutter, so that
red or white shows when the operator is
listening. In this way. when communica-
ton is through two exchanges, the connec-
tions can be so arranged that white cross
shows that one exchange operator is listen
ing and a red cross indicates that the other
operator is the culprit.

TELEPHONE SECRETS
A DEVICE TO THWART EAVES-
DRoPPERs ON THE WIRE.
The Apparatus in Successful Use in
Sweden - Popular With
Subscribers.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening fost.
One of the trials of the telephone sub
scriber has always been the fear that some
one along the line may be listening to pri-
vate business Several times have sub
scribers along party lines known that
listening was common the part of one or
more of those who helped to pay for the
use of the line, and once or twice the cuI-
prit has been caught and punished. 1t Is
hard, however, to get evidence against an
eavesdropper, so listeners at the telephone
generally go scot free. There are several
ways of detecting the culprits, but none is
sure. One is to notice when the voice of a
speaker becomes faint, and on such occa-
sions it is almost always due to a listener
cutting in. 1t is generally wise to remark
at that point, Someone is listening, and
the annoyance ceases, although one woman
was told on such an occasion by the listener
'Jeat she was not doing any such thing.

Inquisitive Operators.

It is declared that the apparatus works
well, and that the plan is popular among
the subscribers. Comment has been made
that such a system would not be needed in
this city, as the operators are too busy to
listen. On the other hand. the many houses
with private switchboards have operators
who are by no means too busy to listen
and the apparatus might be used with ad-
vantage in many cases. OF course not all
the exchange operators listen, but ii has
been shown many times, particularly in the
large apartment houses, where there are
telephones in all the apartments connected
with the main switchboard in the office,
that someone has listened to private con-
versations over the wire, and traps laid for
the eavesdroppers have frequently been
successful. Any relief from these listeners
would be welcomed by the users OF the tele-
phone.

Whiteman is temperate as to liquor,
genlal and captivating in personal IN
tercourse, generous, kind, strongly In
clined to religious faith, a reader OF
doctr1nal books, a regular attendant at
church and in manner a gentleman.
Whteman was married before his
fathers death to an actress of some
metropolitan prominence, now dead.
She was unfaithful and he obtained a
divorce. On one Of his return journeys
from Europe a note from her called
him back to her side. She was living
in New York and was sick and poor.
He established her and visited her
until her death as an intimate friend,
not as husband. Afterward he mar
r1ed the daughter Of the most promt-
nent man in Minneapolis and they had
one child. After his first arrest he
never returned to Duluth. His inter-
eStS there were swept away by his
creditors. His wife's family, oppressed
by the disgrace he had brought upon
them. moved to Oregon, where few
months ago Mrs. Whiteman obtained
q divorce and remarked.

eyes off Whiteman much of the time,

ditions under which she was staying
in the camp, and they got word to Mr..
Compton. Her letters and kilograms
were destroyed, it is claimed, but in
the course of time Mr. Compton arriv-
ed, went to the shack and liberated the
girl, and together they went to Yazoo
City, where they were to take the train
for Boston, but were stopped by a writ
of habeas corpus sued out by the
mother. Mr.. Compton instituted pro-
ceedings against Sykes for impersonat-
ing the mother of the girl, but the JUS
tice of the peace declined to hold him
on that. The case then came up on it's
merits before Judge Powell and after
hearing the testimony as herein given
he decided that the young lady should
go with her uncle. In rendering the
decision he said that he would be con-
trolled more by the instincts of faith
er than those of a Judge; that he
thanked God there is no law in this
country to compel a young lady nearly
Is years Of age to sleep in the same
bed with her mother and stepfather
amid such surroundings and environ
ments, and his words were roundly ap-
plauded by the great crowd that had
assembled in the court room.
Mr.. Compton and his niece left i'm

dered for Massachusetts, followed by
the very best wishes of all who had
heard the girls story. Mr.. Compton

The table was owned by Robert Camp
bell, her guardian, who lived near Coyell.
Ill. Mrs. Campbell says she was taken
to Mr. Campbelrs when eight years old
from home for friendless children In
Chicago. Her aunt had placed her in
the home four years before.
Mr.. Campbell. she says, frequently, told
her that far back in the corner Of the

package Of papers that were valuable to
her.

Mrs. Gates left the Campbell house
hold before she was Of age. Mr.. Camp
