WHEELING, W. Va. April Ii.-Fined s25

markable manner In which George Welsh
escaped prosecution in Charleston this
morning. He killed Will Breedlove and
wounded William Dills in a saloon row
there nearly two months ago, and the in
dictment Of the Grand Jury just returned
was for carrying concealed weapons.
The supposition is that the Grand Jury
did not consider the evidence sufficient
to sustain an indictment for murder. As
soon a. Welsh's attorney asoertained how
small a charge had been placed against
his client. he rushed him into court and
had him plead guilty to carrying concealed
weapons. The fine was paid promptly.

American boat wins Third aud Decid-

for Americas Cup-The Finish

A New York. September 3, dispatch
SAYS: Reliance. the American cup de-
fender, today won the third and final
race and the series for that famous
sea trophy. the Americas cup. In a
dense fog, which prevented vision be-
yond 290 yards, she finished the race
at 5:30:02 amid the acclamations or
the assembled fleet. Shamrock ILL.,.
after running for more than an hour
in the fog. missed the finish line.
passed by IL and then returned to- IT
from the opposite direction. As Re-
lance was then being towed through
the fleet. yacht ensigns fluttering from
her truck and spreaders in celebration
of her victory. Shamrock III. did not
cross the finish line. AS often said
of the historic race when the America
won the cup there was no second.
This successful result was achieved
only after four futile attempts to sail
had been admitted by even Sir Thomas
Upton to be a f%oregone conclusion.
Today's was the eighth attempt to
sail a race. After one fiuke Reliance
won the two following races, one by
seven minutes and three seconds and
the other by one minute and nineteen
seconds. A week ago today the first
attempt to sail the third race failed.
and attempts have been made every
day this week. On these occasions
Reliance led Shamrock to the finish
line by two miles, but failed to reach
1t before the expiration OF the time
limit Of five and a half hours. Today's
victory means that the cup Is des-
tined to remain in America until Eng
land is able to produce a genius equal
Of Herreshoff in yacht designing.
Rarely IL ever has there been a o
spectacular finish than Reliance's to-
day. After racing for more than an
hour at great speed through binding
fog. Reliance burst through the wall
OF mist upon the vision OF the specta-
tors on the fleet assembled at the finish
line, and heeling under a great belly
ing balloon jib topsail, until her lee
rail was awash. flew across the finish
line almost before the spectators could
determine for a certainty that 1t was
she. Once more the Yankee boat had
added to the long string OF victories in
contests for the honored old silver
trophy hat carried with it the blue
ribbon Of the sea.

v IN MICHIGAN
system of Pconage Discovered In city
City Of Kalamazoo.

Anthony Demers, proprietor Of a
shoe-shining stand at Kalamazoo.
Mich. confessed that he paid $50 for
Nicholas Demoggeor, a Greek boy IL
years old. who ran away from him.
Demers was "sweated" by the sheriff
and his revelation OF a system OF child
peonage followed.
Every year boys are being picked up
in the streets OF Greek cities and sold
into slavery in this country. The pur-
chasers pay from $50 to $75 for a five
or six year old boy for the first year.
The second year the price is advanced
$25. Each succeeding year a small ad-
vance is made In h amount paid I'M
til the boy is Of age. Then the pur-
chaser must take his chances with his
purchase.
Anthony Demers and a brother Alex
are at the head Of n shoe-shining or
ganization which operates shoe-shin-
ing parlors in Kalamazoo, Battle
Creek, Jackson, South Bend, st. Jo-
seph. Benton Harbor, Detroit and Chi
cago.
With possibly two exceptions, the
work of polishing shoes is all done by
Greek boys whose ages range from five
to eighteen years. The boys arc shown
how to polish shoes and allowed 10
pick up what English they can. There
their education ends. Demoggeor ran
away on account Of abuse.
The immigration commissioners v
